Naptime

I took a nap yesterday as I sometimes like to do. In my dream while I was napping, I dreamed that I was napping. Does that count as two naps? Is it nap squared? You have to be really tired to dream you are napping when you are actually asleep!

Weird Dreams

I've had two unusual dreams lately. One very funny and one just sort of weird.

The funny one -- I was talking to someone about traveling to New York and she told me that she got a great deal on an airline ticket because she got an elephant ticket. I decided that I could do that too and save some money. So I bought an elephant ticket to wherever I was going. It was a large plane with a normal seats separated by a huge aisle. After everyone is seated in the normal seats, they board a bunch of elephants that stand in the aisle. If you are willing to sit on an elephant for the duration of the flight -- it is much cheaper! Weird!

Weird -- Some of you know that I have "imaginary" friends. However, these imaginary friends are real people -- we just don't know each other. They aren't celebrities either. At the beginning of my dream, I was in the town where one of them lives and we ran into each other and started hanging out together. Then she introduced me to another one (not knowing that he was an imaginary friend of mine too) and I went to his apartment where another imaginary friend was fixing dinner. He fixed this wonderful fish dish which had a sauce made from Laphroaig Scotch! This is not my favorite type of scotch but this sauce was to die for! Anyway, another weird part of the dream was that some of the time I was my current age and some of the time I was about 22 years old! No one seemed to notice this about me!

Can hardly wait to see what I dream about next.

My Town has a Night Life

...and I'm too old for it! My husband is in a play at the local theatre. That means that sometimes after the play we go out with the cast and crew. There is one local restaurant that decided to stay open late after the performances and see if they could get a crowd of people that just want to go out and have a drink. We went a few times (they started this during rehearsals). They advertised in the program that they were doing this. It was announced in the director's announcements.

Then the second weekend of the play -- they stopped! We went after the performance on Friday and they were closed! So we ended up going to another restaurant/bar. The only problem with this one is that it is definitely for a younger, single crowd. It was also so noisy that you couldn't converse with the person next to you.

The following night, we had a VIP table set up at the Glass Cactus courtesy of one of the girls in the play who works there. If I had thought that Friday night was noisy -- I was wrong. The band that was playing was semi-ok and the dance floor was full. We had a couple drinks and tried to talk to a few people. I'm glad that I can say that I've been there -- but it's not my kind of place.

This town needs a bar where everyone knows your name and has music like Michael Buble playing in the background.

The Eccentric One

My son has sat for the past 24 hours in his orange upholstered chair near the student union at Texas Tech. Why? Because he is eccentric. He also handed out sheets of paper with the word "Fjord" on them. Why? Because he is eccentric. The whole thing may also be called performance art.

Why is he eccentric? Because I chose to procreate with this eccentric guy I met in college!

I think the whole thing is rather odd, but I am proud that he is so comfortable in his own skin.

Prom Dress

How can a $155 prom dress cost a little more than double that amount?

Add a special bra, petticoat, alterations, purse, earrings, necklace, bracelet, and shoes!

She does love it and says she will pay half of it!

The dress - $155
Everything else - alot!
The joys of shopping with my teenager (we really had fun) -- priceless!

Knee Socks

Where have all the knee socks gone?

The evil sock makers decided that they could make more money by switching to "trouser" socks. I hate trouser socks and I want my knee socks back!

Black Cat

I was sitting in my chair in the living room working on my NYT crossword -- when quietly down the hall walks a black cat (probably from my bedroom)! We own a white cat which lives upstairs and we own a gray cat. We do not own a black cat. I called dd and she put the gray cat in her bedroom, white cat is already in ds's bedroom and dd comes to help.

We open the door and black cat runs away.
