I don’t know if it was the steamed shrimp or too much sun or an excess amount of chlorine, but last night I had the weirdest assortment of dreams I can ever recall. They ran the gamut, including but not limited to:
– a denominational debate with my cousin Benji
– winning a free meal from a restaurant in Hattiesburg, MS that also sold iPods and iPod accessories
– watching my Aunt C teach swimming to pre-schoolers at an indoor lap pool
– researching the original meaning of my cousin’s girlfriend’s name (only her name was “Gina” in my dream, which isn’t her real name at all)
– getting my dorm room ready for school (HELLO, 18 again)
So needless to say I was worn slap out when I got out of bed this morning.
We’re heading home in a couple of days, and we’ll hit the ground running in terms of getting back into the school time swing of things. Last night I made a long to-do list that made me want to cry a little bit, but we’ll get ‘er done. At least we can rest in the peace of knowing that we’ve had a great time relaxing this week with our family.
We can also rest in the peace of knowing that we’ve reached some unanticipated new snack food heights. We’ve gone from this –
to this –
over the course of just a precious few days.
It’s a memory that will sustain us in the days and weeks to come.
Amen.
Wow…that’s quite a set of dreams…lol!
Seriously….dreams are the worst when you’re slap-dab worn out! Craziness. But I’m thinking that maybe the almost-empty container of cheese balls may have contributed to the dream variation. LOL!
Ha! Isn’t it crazy what your subconscious mind comes up with in the night?
I am from the North and I have to say, I LOVE all your phrases. “Worn slap out” made me smile. :)
One time I bought a giant thing of cheese balls like that at Sam’s and my sister was too embarrassed to stand in line with me. Um, what’s wrong with cheese balls? Apparently you are not embarrassed either. Good.
Cheez puff products are best washed down with a diet coke.
Orange fingers are the best part of cheez puffs. I have been known to lick my fingers. Yes. I have. Don’t tell.
Those Target cheese puffs are the bomb.
Thought of you last night when hubby came in from Kroger. I had requested “fun snacks,” and he came home with Cherry Coke, pretzels, and “the noisiest bag of Sun Chips that ever existed in the universe.” I laughed, laughed, laughed. You know it’s bad when a man says something about it. And now I have a hankering for those cheese puffs! Thanks for sharing the love.
Just the fact that you have a before photo in anticipation of a cheese puff event speaks to how committed you are to bringing the bloggy goodness each and every moment!
LOVE those cheese balls!
Can’t wait for y’all to get home!! Do you want to go to lunch with me on Monday? Me and my friend Tracy are going to Bella’s. I’d love to have you too.
If you can’t come, would y’all like to come over to eat one day next week? Jeremy will be out of town Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night but maybe next weekend. I feel like we still don’t know each other very well and that’s a shame.
call or text!

Oh boy….I’m so glad to see there is someone else out there who can dream in total whack mode like me.
My crazy dreams are a great source of entertainment for my family!
And frankly, I’m not sure how long I can be the sole reason for my peeps happiness!
Oh I kid!
They are happy without my dream re-enactments! But oh how they make fun of me!
