Oh, so it begins. The new homeowner and a can of paint that is not white. Plum in the hallway. Cornflower blue in the bath. Forest green kitchen ceiling. I suppose you want to wallpaper, too? I'm having a sympathy backache here. (((((Les))))) Just be sure to buy quality paint, semigloss in the bathrooms, flat everywhere else. Key word: roller. No. Wait. Keyword: drop-cloth. No. WAIT! Keyword: trim tape!

Oh lord, I can't remember that many key words. <g>

{{{{Lou}}}}

Right now there's wallpaper in the spare bedroom/office, and we actually LIKE the wallpaper.

The master bedroom will have to be painted eventually because there is this one spot right over the closet where it looks like they "tested" paint and then never did anything more.

Hope everyone enjoys their SATURDAY!

I had one of the most bizarre dreams last night, which would take an awfully long time to type out, but I will eventually before I forget it. I called my mom first thing this morning so I wouldn't forget it. She agreed...it was one of the more bizarre in my dreaming life.

You know, I think I'll type it up while it's fresh in my mind.

Rick and Drew and I were driving along, in the Third Ward (for those who don't know Milwaukee, it's an area downtown where there are a lot of warehouses and lofts and fruit and vegetable markets). There was a young guy on a scooter (like a Vespa, not one of those foot scooters...LOL) next to us who kept yelling things. Eventually we came to a red light and Rick rolled down the window and yelled something back. Then, we turned right to get away from him. We went one block, then turned left, then left again to get back on the main road. The guy on the scooter was coming toward us, so we pulled over. Next to us were two guys who were on break from a nearby factory. I looked at the scooter guy and yelled, "What the hell is wrong with you?" The scooter guy was delivering these guys magazines to read on their break...he said to one of the guys, in this really slow voice, 'didn't you want one about cars?' or something like that. I realized he had some kind of developmental problem, and then felt bad for yelling at him.

Somehow we ended up in this house where the scooter guy lived. It was a huge house with a ton of rooms, and people everywhere. Scooter guy disappeared and we started walking around the house and listening in on different conversations. Gail was with us all of a sudden (I love when people just pop in unannounced in my dreams ;-) and Drew said he was hungry. Someone came over with a little pizza kit and told him he could make himself a pizza. Drew was thrilled, and I was a little bothered by how excited he was and how impressed he was with these people because I didn't trust them. Gail and I commented on how perfect everything was, until we opened the broiler and there was a dirty pan from macaroni and cheese in there. Gail said, "Oh, they're not that perfect."

As we made our way around the house, everything seemed to be staged to impress us. Nobody seemed unhappy, but there was a weird undercurrent, like it was a cult of some kind. Groups of three or four guys here and there were having discussions about how badly women were treated in society, and how they should revolt against the patriarchy. I knew it was staged, though. Out in the yard, these two little Japanese girls were playing with this contraption that was like a slingshot connected to a horizontal bar, and they were shooting things high into the sky. Drew was intrigued.

Someone took Drew into a little candy store that was set up in the house, and let him pick whatever he wanted. He came over to me with M&Ms and a little set of Pokemon punch-out finger-puppets. I was mad because I knew that they were just coming up with things that Drew would love, and then wouldn't want to leave. In the meantime, Rick had disappeared and we couldn't leave until we found him. Scooter guy had gone to sleep in a room and I figured while he was asleep, we could sneak out.

Happy Saturday (((((Scribbles)))))))

LiamFan! · April 21st, 2001, 10:38 AM

At some point in the dream, Rick's mom showed up with a big dish of something for dinner, and she was wearing a long blue evening gown. All the other women were commenting on how beautiful she looked, but I thought it was inappropriate dress for just coming for a visit.

People were all lining up along opposite sides of the table, and I suddenly recognized a woman I used to work with a few years back. She came over and gave me a big hug and started whispering in my ear how happy she was here and how she wasn't going to leave. "Why would you want to?" she said as she backed away from me. I turned to Gail and said, "I used to work with Tani for years." Gail seemed relieved, but then I explained that the woman was not herself (she was 81 in the dream...not sure if that's important).

We decided we were going to look for Rick and leave. So I went from room to room trying to find where he had laid down. In one room, I thought I had found him, and I was talking to this guy, trying to wake him up. He sat up, facing away from me, and it <i>sort of</i> looked like Rick, but not quite. He stood up and started walking down the hall, and I was following him. I said, "Are you Rick? Because I don't want to be following a stranger..." The guy turned around, and it wasn't Rick, and he said, "So, am I a stranger?"

He said he would take me to where Rick was. We kept walking up and down these halls, up staircases...eventually, I just figured I would wake up. Which I did, and Rick was sleeping and snoring, and I was relieved to hear it! LOL

That's a very long and detailed dream, and may account for why you can't remember key words. (((((Les)))))

I left out some details for the sake of brevity.

I just retook this personality test:

I think we did this on the old boards, but I thought it might be interesting to do it again.
