Sleep weirdness!

So my boyfriend (Jamie) has always done kind of strange things while he's sleeping like talk out loud or even have entire conversations with you where he will answer questions and everything but lately things have gotten very strange...

Weird:
A couple months ago I wake up in the middle of the night to him jumping out of bed and yelling "Don't move, stay where you are" and then he switches on the light and says "oh, thank God!"
So I'm a bit freaked out at this point and ask him what's going on and he starts jabbering about leaking oil on the floor and then starts snoring with his eyes open! CREEPY! The next day I ask him about it and he remembers having a dream that the headboard was leaking oil and he was afraid I was going to get my shoes dirty if I got off the bed and stepped in the oil (I guess in his dreams I wear shoes in bed?).

Weirder:
So in the mornings I have to wake up first for work so I cover up Jamie's head with a blanket so the light doesn't get in his eyes ( I know I'm the sweetest) anyway one day I guess I wasn't smiling when I did it and he opened his eyes and started freaking out because it looked like I was going to smother him. So the next night while I'm sleeping all of a sudden Jamie puts a pillow over my head! In reality he just set it on my head I was sleeping on my side so it didn't go directly over my face. I started freaking out and he was totally asleep and had no idea he even did it.

SCARY!
Last night I wake up to Jamie head-butting me in my mouth! It hurt really bad, I guess he was trying to reposition himself in his sleep but we aren't really sure how his head got over my face. My lip got cut and my teeth hurt really bad today! That's not all though about a half hour later he elbows me in the side on my head and then another half hour goes by and he half-ass backhands me on my check. This was either a really strange set of coincidences or he's got it in for me! haha. Jamie, watch your back!!!

Great recipe sites

A couple months ago I stopped eating all meat except fish & seafood. So in my search to find some new recipes I have stumbled across a few good sites, not all vegetarian but all seem to have really good ideas for dinner or baked goods which I love!

This is my fav! It focuses on planing your weekly dinners in advance and even gives you a grocery list of what you would need to make all of the meals which takes away all of the guess work and stress of trying to plan your meals last minute. It also uses a lot of really cool grains and beans I wouldn't normally use.

This is a great site for yummy baked goods and has great step by step pictures and commentary, check out the cinnamon rolls! I think I'm making them for x-mas presents next year

This is a neat idea, you check the boxes for the items you have in your house and it will give you recipes for the ingredients you have on hand.

This is a great site for vegan kids lunches. The site author also sells some food plan books and such but other than that the site is lots of fun and has great ideas if you want to give your kids something other than the sugar filled crap the schools try and pass over as food.

my personal blog

Hello everyone! So I'm thinking this blog probably isn't going to have any sort of theme or real cohesion other than the fact than I'm the person writing it. It'll probably mostly contain interesting information I come across from various sources, helpful tips, cool websites, recipes and whatever ends up on my mind at the end of the day. So stay tuned... and if you are a dog lover at all check out my other blog
