Weird Dreams

It’s not uncommon for those with raging hormones, like yours truly at 12 weeks gestation, to have wacked out dreams. But tonights was kind of a doozy.

First there’s a Native American gang of political terrorists out to hunt and kidnap a particular individual who has information that they need.  That person winds up being caught by the Feds and held at a courthouse.  With nothing more than a few guns and a cigar case holding tiny bottles of Mexican coca cola, they break him free.

Then there’s a blonde woman held in a baseball field being held captive and surrounded by cop cars.  For whatever reason, Wentworth Miller comes out as Michael Scoffield to rescue her.  And then disappears. Has no additional part in any dream.

Next I’m blonde at some salon that also publishes home decorating magazines and discussing a new photo shoot that I had done for some fundraiser.

I next walk through a scarf/tie shop and I hear “Just Like Heaven” by the Cure and start dancing like a dork, transform back from the blonde back into me and then trip on my purse.

I walk out around the corner and come across a gorgeous University campus like no other wtih stunning sculptures, gorgeous arched buildings, and lush gardens.  I come through this glass walkway and find Robin Williams where I tell him “Professor, I know you surely won’t remember me but I just want to say thank you.. well, to say thank you.”

Then I run into a nail salon where my best friend Rosario Dawson and I have a conversation about me dancing and tripping on my purse in the silk scarf and tie store.  I show her some powder glitter mascara and she tries it on and it looks stunning on her and then offer her a bite of chocolate eclair and she tells me.

“Oh no.  No cheap sugar has entered this body since 1998.  My only indulgence is very very expensive peanutbutter chocolates. That’s my secret”

My response.

“Huh. I always thought it was Pilates.”

 

 

This qualifies as the 2nd dream in one week that involved some sort of peanut butter and chocolate combination.  I think it’s obvious what that means.

It means I’m getting up to go eat a fucking pickle.

Amelia’s 2 Year Checkup at the Doctor’s.

Drafty gown

She measures 32″ and some change.

Weighs 24.5 Lbs

Blood pressure is a solid  90/58
Bloodpressure
There were some fun moments during this checkup.

Dr: “Does she run?”

Moi: “Hah. Yes. Everywhere. She even rock climbs up ramps and tries to climb ladders to get to stairs”

Dr: “And her communication?”

Moi: “Up to ~ 200 words or so.”

Amelia: “wuuuuhn, twooooooo, treeeeee, pourrrrrr, cincoooooo,”

Dr: “Can she recognize and identify body parts?”

Amelia: “Nose… Toes… Tummy, Cheek. Chin, Ears, Eyes”

Moi: “Amelia, where’s your butt?”

Amelia: (Lifts her hospital gown up to one side and smacks her ass with confidence)

Dr: “And sentences?”

Moi: “Like, ‘There she is!” Where’s Daddy?” “What you doing?” “Awww, it’s ok”

Amelia: “Knock knock”

Moi: “Who’s there?”

Amelia: “Banana”

A nurse comes in latter and says “How are we today?”

Amelia respondes “I’m fine.”

The nurse looks oddly surprised not having expected an actual response.

Amelia had 4 shots today to catch her up on immunizations. She handled it like a champ and cried for only a minute before she started on her knock knock jokes on me again.

Before

Shots.  Before.

During

Shots.  During.

After

Shots. After.

 

All in all, very happy with today’s visit to the Doctor’s.

 

High five good checkup!
