No more

I used to have a separate dream blog. Then (as in, 45 seconds ago) I decided that that was stupid.

The dreams that I deem funny enough to post at all, are CERTAINLY funny enough for THIS guy (blog).

So I'm going to be recycling those old dream posts as I see fit.

Hey now, don't be MAD! I'm RECYCLING! Don't you want to save the earth? Should I call you BP? You should all be applauding me.

Anyway.

Today's post is an ORIGINAL, never-before-seen dream that my brain conjured up in the early hours of the morning. I remember them best when I wake up in the middle of them. It's probably science or something.

Ready set go

I had a dream that somehow Toy Story 3 got leaked, and showed up on my TV! We all gathered as a family to watch it, because HEY! It's Toy Story 3! Never mind that we could go to an actual theater to watch it. It was the past in my dream, and we didn't want to have to wait until it was released in theaters!

So as we were watching it, we realized that a more appropriate title for the movie would be "Monsters Inc. 2" seeing as how it was actually a Monsters Inc. sequel, not a Toy Story threequel. (That's okay, brain! At least you recognized that they're both Disney/Pixar!)

It was not lighthearted or jovial, as was the first movie. No, this was a sad, gloomy tale about the now-16-year-old (yes, my brain apparently has problems with math, too) "Boo" who has SEVERE social/mental problems.

It was so sad to see her go from this

Adorable

to this

rough approximation

The story unfolded to chronicle the repercussions of claiming to see monsters and having adventures with them. Her parents had farmed her off to a crazy house. She was too crazy, and was sent back home. So they kept her locked up in her bedroom, and she went berzerk, drawing pictures of Mike Wazowski and "Kitty" - grasping at fragments/figments from her mind's eye.

It was tragic.

Also, she had a retainer. Not quite sure why her parents would have paid for braces... but hey. The rest doesn't make much sense either.

Save the whales, but indulge

I’m all for saving the earth.

I like it quite a bit.

“I literally don’t know where I’d be without it.” (haha, gibe at mormon clichés)

I try to do my part by recycling, using high efficiency appliances, conserving electricity, and not spilling millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf Coast.

At my house, we’ve always had low-volume shower heads. I think they’re great and I totally plan on buying them and using them in my own house someday.

BUT (and it’s a big one)

Whenever I’m on vacation, at a hotel, or visiting my grandma (like right now)...

I don’t let the inefficient shower head make me feel guilty.

I enjoy every SECOND of those massage-like showers.

I’ve concluded that every once in a while,

it’s a nice treat.

Fun with language

I may have just stumbled upon the greatest webpage of the past century EVER.

It is what's known as, an anagram generator.

It will probably change your life.

Some of my favorites so far (aka the 5 minutes I've known of its existence) are:

Melissa Broekhuijsen = A Bee Rejoins Mush Silk (true! - it DOES rejoin mush silk!)

I work at Target = Gator Wart Kite

&

Michael Jackson = Nacho Jack Smile

And although submitting: "I am Lord Voldemort" didn't give the answer I was expecting, it was entertaining nonetheless: Immortal Odd Lover.

My favorite from their hall of fame collection:

The United States Bureau of Fisheries = I Raise the Bass to Feed Us in the Future

^ isn't that great?

See for yourself. Check it out here.

Be prepared for hilarious results - what are some of YOUR favorite answers?

Edamame Sleepover

A recent trip to Spark with two of my favorite ladies convinced us that we needed more edamame in our lives.

Plans were made, recipes were both created, found, and modified, ingredients were purchased, and a sleepover was born. It was a strong baby - mother(s) and child are all doing fine, thank you for asking.

Check out the baby pictures below:

yes, that is bacon. But don't worry, we made it healthy by adding brown sugar

the final products!

Middle: lemon & salt

Top right: discard bowl, of course!

So, no. In this case, edamame was not a health food.

But it was healthy to our tongues!

Thanks Amy & Britt for a lovely night!
