Signs that I need to get out more

Actual dreams that I had in the last few days:

1. I was at the supermarket.

2. I put shampoo on my hair before wetting it. Weird!

3. That dream above, about the supermarket? That was it. The whole thing. I bought chicken.

4. And salad.

5. I was writing an email. I can't remember to whom.

6. I was sitting around with Scott, and we both realized we were in a dream, and I said we should do something crazy. We couldn't come up with anything. And then I fell asleep. In my dream.

Topics that I've considered addressing in my next post:

1. My kitty cat sure is getting fat!

2. Uh…

3. Really. She's fat.

4. Uh, Easter?

5. Well, Scott told me his work might dry up soon, and I was hyperventilating into paper bags for a while, but then he started a new project. So. Never mind.

6. If there's a cheese I dislike out there, I'll tell you, I haven't yet found it. Go, cheese.

Wake me when it's April. What are you people doing? Anything good?

I used to always dream about stressful situations at work, but mostly these days I dream about Javier Bardem. Frankly, it's a bummer to wake up most days. :)JulesHouse of Jules

Go Cheese! Ha!

I had a dream that my daughter was clapping her hands. She's 8 months old. Dream big!

I too need to get out more. Maybe tonight I'll dream about cheese. MMMM.

Dear God, Please do not let me dream about going to the supermarket. And, thank you for cheese.

Drooling over photos of last year's garden. That's the big excitement over here these days.

Looking at the snow. There's more of it. Again. Should shovel. Sigh.I think I'm going to be dreaming in black and white soon. Or white and white.

Nope. Nothing good. Thinking about going to Tarzian to buy a drill bit, but it's raining.

Hi Alice! I just found your site not too long ago and I have to say you crack me up! Its very hard not to laugh here at work (I am bad, I know) and get myself in trouble. I have a 18 mo. son (Hunter)and I KNOW about not getting out much. When your whole highlight to the week is what movie should we rent to watch after Hunter is in bed? I can't wait for March to be gone too!!! 1 more week. WOO HOO!

Oh, cheese... be grateful you can eat cheese, Alice. My baby has a dairy allergy so I can't eat cheese until I've stopped nursing him. It's been three months now. No butter, no milk, no ice cream, no cream cheese. Life is barely worth living. Sigh. At least there's chocolate. And potato chips.

I'm sitting here eating cheese, so life is pretty good.

It must be a March thing. This morning, I actually had an appointment, and not only did I make myself KEEP it, as I was driving around I thought "Huh kinda forgot what sunlight felt like" Then I came home and read Finslippy.

The End.

After registering my 5yo for 1st grade (in real life) I dreamed the usual "oh crap I'm back at school" dream, except this time my wife and her brother wouldn't tell me where my grown son Carl was and I knew he was going to be LATE. (Carl is not my son's name...the son in the dream was a kid named Carl I knew when I was in school, except grown. Since he's roughly my age.)

Other than that, nothing.

I'm sipping coconut tea and trying to come up with some interesting things to tell my boss at our one-on-one meeting in an hour.

Do you think mentioning that I've been "Dutifully Reading Finslippy" will get me a raise?

Well, I went to Target yesterday and bought popcorn and a coke for $1.00.

And...that's all.

I'm really excited about cleaning the tub crayon gunk out of the grout in the tub and then, I'm going to hunt down and stalk the people who make tub crayons and then, I'm going to pelt with eggs the "friend" who gave us the tub crayons as a gift.

And then there's...Nope. That's it. Scrubbing, hunting, stalking and pelting.

I'm with you, Alice. Let it be May!

Last night I dreamed Jack Black was trying to hook up with me. He was rather charming.

I am trying to find better things to do with my time other than actual work. I found your site on Momformation and have been happily wasting corporate money since! (I added your link to my own site for faster jumping and so I don't have so many windows open at once....sneaky me...)

I accepted an offer on our home. Now we will relocate from NJ to OH in 2-3 months. Our children are 5, 3 and 1. And, my car battery was dead this morning. I AM STRESSED! And I too, adore cheese.

I dreamed last night that I grew eyebrows UNDER my eyes. In addition to normally placed eyebrows. Can you tell I have an inordinate fear of my obstreperous eyebrows?

Also, just found you! Hi!

We.Are.Bored. We are letting our kids watch too much TV because we have run out of things to do. And I don't feel guilty. Warm weather had better get here soon or their brains will start to seep out of their ears from watching Dora.

I had a dream two nights ago that my husband and I were getting a divorce. But I decided to not go through with it because it was required to write an essay on why you wanted a divorce. And I decided that was too much work.

PS I in no way want to divorce my dude. Just FYI.

For some bizarre reason I've had serial killer nightmares two nights running. I feel like instead of sleeping I was run over by a truck. I need a nice boring supermarket dream.

"6. I was sitting around with Scott, and we both realized we were in a dream, and I said we should do something crazy. We couldn't come up with anything. And then I fell asleep. In my dream."

Too funny.

I'm figuring out how to promote that little book with your blog name in the subtitle...

I'm convinced cheese is a miracle food. My cheese odyssey has yet to uncover a cheese I dislike. Well, I found ONE. It was a block of cheddar that got hidden behind the broccoli and went moldy. But you know what you can do with moldy cheese? FRY IT. (You can lift off the mold as it fries.) (You're probably already aware of this.) (But it's a revelation to me and I consider it my duty to spread the gospel.)

That I'm on a "cheese odyssey" should tell you a lot about the current state of my life.

I'm making a music video for a band called The Brilliant Things.

Have you tried the cheese at Trader Joes that has carmelized onions in it?

We just put our house on the market for way less than it's worth, so that we can sell fast, and get the most amazing, beautiful Craftsman, with ocean views and my very own sewing room. Since our house will start showing on Monday, and we are going skiing on Sunday...I have to refinish our deck and patio furniture, um, TODAY!

My daughter is starring in a play tonight. I have my Mother in town. I have a dentist appointment today. Is 10:00 am too early for a martini?
