Making up for yesterday's post...

I'm in the bed, in a hotel by the beach. KC's #4 comes in sleepy and having had an accident. I get him changed and walk him back to his room. Instead of the KC family room, I walk into the CGB family's room. Those 3 are all in bed in a row, #1's feet sticking out because he is too long for the bed. We continue to the next room and I get KC's #4 back in bed accidentally rousing #2 from sleep. She says, "the room smells like a fragrant bouquet." As I turn to leave, I look through the open curtains to see Frank, from my Fantasy Football League in what looks like a heated discussion with some mob type characters. Frank also looks like a mob type character (in real life).

I go back to my room and return to bed. I wonder briefly where my dh has gone but know he'll be back, so I just snuggle into the covers, listening to the wind and waves through the open patio door. It's a little too windy, so I close the door. Return to bed.

The next morning, everyone has gathered on the beach at concrete tables/benches. I see on one of the tables a book that looks just like one I had gotten and couldn't find. I snatch it and go to KC and CGB asking how it got there, who had it, etc. They are confused as to why I am so upset. I tell them how I had gotten this book for VJ and it was a present for her graduation, but then I couldn't find it. But the one I got was blank, it was for her to add pictures and stories and keepsakes. This one was full of pictures and well wishes. Turns out, ST (the wife of the commander who just left who has been instrumental in getting the FRSAs up to speed here in real life) gave that book to VJ and it isn't the one I had gotten for her. I take it back and apologize for my behavior explaining what I thought happened. We talk a second, it is awkward. On the table beside the book was a book like you look through when you open a new checking account to choose check designs, from Deluxe or Harland check printers. (??)

Then here comes DWL wearing some weird get up of jeans with long shorts over them. He says it is the newest thing, and sure enough, people all start walking by wearing jeans with shorts over them. He says, SEE??

8 MAY 2007

Sorry to disappoint. No recollection. I know there was a dream. I remembered it the first time I woke up. But after 5 snoozes...it was gone.

I said...

LUKE AND LAURA! I cannot believe that didn't get even one comment. I remember those summer days of watching General Hospital while Kabbage laid in the sun in the backyard and Wade and I tried to "block her sun" making hand shadows over a leg or whatever! and singing Gen-er-al Hos-PITAAAAL!!! (and if I was in the valley, watching in the back room until I got peer pressured into switching to Guiding Light!)
anyway, plenty of dreaming over the weekend, but I can't recall now, and didn't post over the weekend because...well...Saturday I was being lazy, and Sunay Stephen was on the computer most of the day doing a paper.
I'll get back to it tonight...stay tuned tomorrow for Monday 7 May 2007 dream!

3 MAY 2007

So so random...
ok, I work in an office with Michael Scott (the Office) and he is trying to implement a new system with time cards and punching a time clock. He can't figure out how to set the clock to punch in-out for lunch-back from lunch-out on one line. So we are working on the time clock and discussing people's hours. I guess I'm like the Pam. Then, this lady is all getting in our conversation saying that people should bring a lunch, it would be more cost effective for the company if they did so, and ate at their desks while working. She is like Angela but looks like that new girl Karen. THEN, I'm telling Michael that they have to be given a lunch and two 15 minute breaks so now I'm being HR like Toby, but I notice I am only wearing a men's button up shirt and underpants! (I have NO idea what that's about). People are trying to look in the window, so I open the door to tell them to go away, that we are having a meeting. And outside the door there is an exercise class going on, and Jim is pretending to be helping out with it (he was the one we saw looking in the window) in his work attire.

At some point I am out to eat at a restaurant at night with my mom and Stephen and I'm trying to tell them to hurry up and eat because my bike is in the back of the truck and someone might steal it!

And every time I woke up I was singing "Shot through the Heart" or "Wanted: Dead or Alive"

Also, I have a vague memory of ladeling gallons of soup into bowls and topping them with shredded cheese for the guests at the Signal Ball!

Here is what I think about the dreams:
The Office-because we forgot to watch the Office last night, we were watching American Idol OR because we watched 4 episodes we got on dvd from Shauna night before last!
The bike-because Stephen just put my new bike seat on my bike!
The songs-from American Idol.
The soup-I am off to Heidelberg to decorate for the ball!

hhhmmm, something about the family reunion. I think someone didn't want to go because they had a party to go to. We were upset because we really wanted everyone to be there. VERY limited memory of last night's dream.

1 MAY

I remembered more of this when I first woke up, but here is what is left...

Does anyone remember in the early 80s when Luke and Laura on General Hospital got locked in the mall or dept store overnight? Well, I always thought it would be so cool. ANYWAY, in my dream, there was a dance contest (ala Dancing with the Stars) and Stephen and I went to watch it. It was at night, in a mall and people were dancing all around the mannequins and displays. All the people were sitting on the floor watching. And I'm pretty sure we had all snuck into the mall to hold this big event!!

aside: Luke and Laura (I just looked at this, JUST like in the dream)

30 APR 2007

This is going to be long...

Starting somewhere in the middle as usual: We are at a hotel conference room/ballroom/pavilion type thing. Me and so many friends. All my best ones, and then some random people, too. Pat S, from ASB...she use to do Jenny Craig and I thought of her the other day when Valerie Bertenelli (I can say her last name bc she is famous anyway!) decided to go Kirstie Alley and do JCraig also. Anyway, Amy Liisa came and she had to fly in from California. (?) She said Kathy MADE ME! There were also a group of guys there, turns out this was like a bachelorette/bachelor party for Stephen and me. But we were already married, I think. So, all the girls are having to go to the bathroom, but no one wants to go to the ones there, they are gross like German bathrooms. And some didn't have doors on them.

Cut to a HUGE hotel room where everyone was crashed out on couches, beds, the floor. Just like a great big slumber party. Fade out and then back in again, and it's just me and Bill L. He said he had to take me somewhere so I could take a shower. I asked why I couldn't just take a shower there and he explained that he couldn't leave me alone because he was suppose to be watching me, but he had to go to the store and get something for his headache. Now, instead of saying my usual, "you want some Advil?" I said, " something like extra strength Tylenol?" He said no, the extra absorbant kind of tampons. WHAT?? He went into this huge discussion about it with me. He had gathered up some clean clothes for me and we got in the car to go. On the way, I asked, "so...how does this marriage thing work? I mean, sometimes I love Stephen so much I could just explode...OK, that sounded like we are 13. Is it suppose to be that way?" He said that if we are lucky and work hard, yes. It should be; it is for him and Lin.
OK. So we get to the "store". It is like a fast food restaurant, a convenience store and a sitdown restaurant all in one. As we walk through the parking lot, there are taco bell wrappers, cups, various trash everywhere. Like in piles! Then we walk in the door and there on the little carpet square in front of the door there are some chili dogs. ??? Don't step on the chili dogs!
We get inside and I go to find this shower (in telling him about it this morning, Stephen says, SO...it was a truck stop, then? I don't know). As I get toward the back there are some disgruntled employees and they are discussing how since the sitdown part was added, the whole place has gone downhill. People don't care, don't take pride in their work, etc. I start talking to them, telling them that it starts with them. They have to do what they can, no matter what anyone else does, or try to find something else. (Just don't call CPAC/CPOL/CPOC!!)

And then...I woke up.
