Mike Bertaz

I think I spelled his name wrong. Anyway, last night I was in my office and he came in with a resume. I asked Alice if she had time to meet with him, she didn't answer me and I was about to leave for the day. I told him to come back tomorrow, and we went for chocolate shakes at Sonic. Now, we are in Germany, but when we leave the parking lot, we pull on to the 35 bypass and drive toward 6. I don't know why we didn't cut over before, there were a couple times I couldn't get the truck (little blue one I use to have) slowed down and pulled over fast enough. So we ended up taking 6 to Gordon and going to the Sonic. On the way, we were talking about stuff and he asked if I'd like to go somewhere with him that weekend. I can't remember, London or somewhere. I told him I didn't think my husband would appreciate that! He said, oh no, Dallas and our two kids would go, too! (for those who don't know, he married Dallas Hyatt that we worked with at Weiners!) ooooh! ok! Well, we didn't get that far with the trip planning because we were still talking about being in Germany, how did you get here, what have you been doing, etc. I think he said he came over as a DA civilian but that job will be ending soon, so he needs to get something so they can stay because the kids are already settled in school or something. That's all I can remember. I woke up JUST as we pulled into the Sonic! :(

Belated dreams

Saturday night I had another reunion planning dream. There were 8-10 people staying at some hotel resort place and we were all comparing notes about what we might want to do, how to contact people, etc for the upcoming reunion. Greg Linbeck was in the dream, and when I woke up I could not remember his last name for my life. I kept confusing him with Stephen Brashear. Remember him? I think he moved away after jr high sometime. Maybe not, I don't think I had him in any classes in high school, though. Anyway, I was writing a note to myself to look up Greg's last name, "Classmates-look up Greg Linbeck" oh…I guess I thought of it. Ha!

Sunday night I had a terrible time falling asleep. I just wasn't tired. Of course it seemed like as soon as I fell asleep the alarm was going off! But just before that, I was dreaming that I had done something to my arm, right in the bend where the vein is. I think I carried a box or something and it bruised my arm badly. (IRL, I did carry a box Friday and it bruised my thigh badly) Anyway, we were having a blood drive at the hospital (yeah, the ER hospital. I don't even watch ER anymore, it came on opposite AmericasNextTopModel) and JUST as the nurse was going to put the needle in my arm, at the exact moment, the alarm went off! SCARED the beegeebees out of me!

Put the Fix it On

I was having to do something to fix all the files on my computer. I guess I was suppose to have installed some kind of fix it patch thingy but I hadn't, so I had to go one by one and do something. When I finished I got a message on my screen "Heather, next time install the fix it thingy." I woke up laughing when the alarm went off. I had not woken up previously, so it was a good night's sleep. :)

Dreaming meanness

Well, my Mimi (on K side) was getting married at a bed and breakfast type mansion place (notice I dream that a lot??) and all the family was there, all festive and taking pictures. Then my friend Laurel was getting married at the same place and I was trying to take pictures of it and my BROTHER had left the camera on the video setting. Every time I tried to take a picture it would start the video camera running. I was SO mad and yelling WAAADE!!! Doing exactly what I hate people to do…saying his name ugly. He was then responding with "WHAAAAT???" and when I explained what he did he said,
"well, just PUT IT BACK!"
"I don't know how!"
Grumble grumble, "hhhhhkkkk (heavy sigh) LIKE THIS!" and he switched it back.
"THANK YOU." <-- not said nicely.

Last night and the night before

So…there was going to be some kind of fundraiser to benefit someone who got hurt or whose house burned down or something.
Lynn Gilman came over (to my apt at Willow Creek in Alvin) to tell me that she needed my help and the details. She was actively avoiding Colleen. She didn't want to run into her and risk her trying to come to the event. I don't know why. When I got there to the event, of course there were a bunch of people I knew, and it was general chaos. Everyone trying to do all the things. Someone was trying to cook pancakes on a GIANT griddle and it was too hot so as soon as the batter was poured it would turn black. I took over the pancake duties even though Deborah Lutz and Lynn had asked me to bale hay for people to sit on. It seemed to be some kind of country breakfast theme. I told them to find Kelly Callihan, that she was sure to be good at that. She was a countryish girl growing up. I guess the event went well, when I left to go to work (at Weiners) things seemed to be running smoothly and the pancakes were turning out great!

Saturday night's dream was freakish. I had to pretend to be involved with an Asian drug lord because I was working undercover (this is what happens when you watch Without a Trace and the FBI lady is undercover and the drug lord is Asian!). I then had to pretend to have died to get him to go somewhere and get arrested. S was very upset thinking I had been involved with "Scary Asian Drug Lord Man" and had subsequently been killed. He found out I was still alive when he broke into my bed and breakfast room (much like the one we stayed in at Oakwind-except there was a whole wall of double french doors that opened out onto this patio). Before he broke in, there was a big storm and the windows were rattling and being very scary. I went to close one of them and Tres was there, she was trying to help me close the curtains and I was telling her we had to close the doors first or the curtains wouldn't stop blowing. Then she wasn't there anymore, but SB was coming in and he was shocked to find me alive!! I was explaining how none of it was real, I was just pretending to be involved with the guy, and also I had pretended to be really sick so he couldn't come near me or he'd get sick, too and not be able to traffic his drugs.

Old friends and new friends, Real friends and pretend friends

Two dreams last night/this morning. First, I dreamt <--is that a word? that I was helping Jim Halpert (yes, from the Office!) to get ready for a road trip he was taking. I gave him maps, cds of "driving songs" and "Texas songs" (?) repaired his glasses, and we visited for a long time. We talked about Pam, I kept trying to convince him that she REALLY DOES love him! and Karen needs to go. (FYI, the most recent we saw was where he asks Pam out to dinner at the end of the show) We talked about Dwight and Angela, you know because no one in the office knows about their romance. And I remember telling him how funny I think Kevin is. We were great friends!

Second dream was my real friends. We were somewhere like Gruene, going through all the little shops. I don't know who was there with who, but no one ever saw a stranger. It was as though we were on a big reunion weekend. Friends from school, places I've worked, Alvin, Austin, ever corner of my life. It was just so nice to see everyone.
