Dream

My dream the other night was odd to say the least. To some of you this will mean absolutely nothing to others, parts will be significant, to me? I am totally confused.

It was at the house on Navy. (My dreams often hapen there) Gretchen and Mom were throwing me a baby shower (ish). Gretchen had made a TON of cut up fruit for fruit salad. Fruit was EVERYWHERE covering all surfaces in the kitchen. The refrigerator was not in the hole in the wall but the hole was bright and filled with cut up fruit. Perhaps the fridge was there and the door was open. Mom was around intermittently, she was not a factor but would make etheral appearances. (She was never an etheral person so that is odd to me.)

The guests started arriving (and leaving, they would just disappear and others would arrive). At one point Mr. and Mrs. Fritz came. She represented my memory of her pretty well, but he was named Alberto and had a very thick accent. (I know that Mr. Fritz's name is Bob and as for accent, I doubt it, but I can't honestly think of any specific time he spoke directly to me.) Another set of "recognizable" guests were Mr. and Mrs. Grefka, they only appeared for a very brief amount of time.

The strangest guests I think were the Walker's. (Jillie Walker is a school friend of Marisa;s from Elementary school.) Mr. and Mrs. Walker (They are my peers and yet I don't know their first names.) were a surprise. Gretchen invited them "knowing I would want them there". When Mrs. Walker hugged me, she didn't want to let go she was afraid if she let go "something bad would happen". I responded that I had been through so much already what was there left?

Fade to new scene. (Having a dream is like living in a screenplay) Everyone (who they are I have no idea now, but I did while I was there), is set up in the front bedroom and the front room of the house on Navy and I am passing out Baby Bingo cards. The cards I am passing out have big holes (purposefully I assume as they are not ragged but formed) where the number's are, so that when you try to cover the called number your cover falls through.

And that is it, that is when one of the twins started crying and woke me up.

I dream alot, I don't often remember my dreams, but this one has stuck with me for more than an hour after waking. I don't usually like to "analyze" my dreams, but I can't seem to shake this one.

ps. Mom is often in my dreams, sometimes sick, sometimes as she was, sometimes with no pain at all.

8 Places to Live

Hilda over at the Mind Wobbles had this Meme going and I joined in.

Here are the instructions, copied from Hilda who copied them from DIxie...

"McCain has 8 homes in the U.S I thought it was 13 but whatevs. You have to pick eight places you would like to live. List them. You don’t have to list your reasons, but if you do at least for a few of them, it would be more fun. And remember that the only rule is: the homes must be within the borders of the United States of America or else, within the borders of the country you live in, so as to utterly emulate the McCains."

I'll add the usual, let me know in my Comments if you're participating...

1. Las Vegas - I would love to have a home there to host my family when they visit.

2. Detroit(ish) - Don't think I am ready to move back into the inner city, but it would be nice to have a place there, again close to family.

3. Chicago(ish) - Have I mentioned I would want my homes near family members?

4. Denver - I fell in love with this city when we visited a few years ago. It seems to have it all - all the seasons, good sports venues, great culture. And it is smack dab (ish) in the middle of the country for the family to come visit me.

5. Santa Diego - I need a coastal home (don't we all?) and it is a toss up between Santa Barbara and San Diego. I chose San Diego because of the many things to do when family comes to visit.

6. New York - The hustle, the bustle, I would like to be a part of it, just not all the time.

7. Montreal - Actually, I couldn't decide between, Montreal, VanCouver or Toronto, so I went with the family theme and chose Montreal.

8. An RV around the country - I have always dreamed of driving around to all the baseball stadiums in the country.
