Its a grand estate

So this last nweek I've been nannying for a family in my stake. 3 kids, 13 year old girl, 6 year old boy, and a 4 year old girl. We've had our rough patches, and I've been going to bed between 9:30 and 10 PM, and waking up between 5:30 and 6, but its been mostly good.

So my first dream has to do with that. It was mostly a dream of me getting the house ready for the parents to get home (which is happening tonight in real life). I was frantically picking up all the princess, and Lego Star Wars toys. Then the Dad got back and I realized I hadn't gotten all my stuff together yet. But his wife wasn't back yet so I had some time to pack up. It was a pretty normal life dream, but it made the next one even more wonderful.

So in the next dream I was heading down to Salem with my dear friend Tracee to go visit her family. (In reality I was at her house once as a small child but I only remember the back yard) So we pull up to this mansion of sorts, more like an estate, much like Downton Abbey. It was huge, and awesome. So we vistied there for a while, but then we were invited to someone else's house. It was someone I apparently knew, like a random distantly related aunt (which is hilarious because I have plenty of real aunts down in Salem). So we go to her huge house and I start chatting it up with her charming nephew. He was super handsome, and drove his aunt nuts, which was very entertaining for me. We were hitting it off really well, which was not going over very well with his aunt. So it was kind of turning into a Sense & Sensibility type, with some Downton Abbey stuff because she had taken this weird ceramic floral wreath that was my grandmother's and I should actually have it. So then I was super upset about that, and this new gentlemen caller of mine was being super nice, and there were whispers of marriage (apparently Tracee and I were there for a few weeks).

And he was in the middle of telling me something really important when I woke up to...

a 4 year old girl tell me she had a nightmare and wanted to watch Madagascar Penguins movie.

True story. I don't ever remember having an awesome dream and then waking up in the middle of it because my alarm went off or something to that affect. It was rough. What this dream tells me though is that I've been watching way too many Barbie Princess movies, and the teenager talks about me getting married a lot. But I will say, he was one handsome man.

A Scary Match

So I've spent a better part of the last few days playing Tiny Tower on my iPod. Its great. Mostly because everything is so cute and tiny. I also started reading Matched last night. Which is another LDS young adult author. But so far its WAY better than Twilight. So part of Tiny Tower is giving people jobs and there are these number associated with their skill set in different areas, like food, retail, service, and so forth. Matched is a book about a society where they pick your "match" or future spouse as it were. You too are placed in jobs based on your skill set. So basically I had this weird dream where the characters in Matched were getting jobs in my Tiny Tower. It was quite odd.

Also for the record I'm kind of on team Xander, for anyone who understands that.

I also have a dream that I feel fair in blaming entirely on Nat. I was watching this really strange video of Saved by the Bell where Zach Morris gets to class late and is super confused because it an ASL class. It was super amusing because it was SO 90s. It was also really quick but I thought Nat would find it funny.

Also something to know about my life. We do family scripture and prayer every morning before my Dad goes to work and Jack goes to school. But because of my employment status as of now I usually go back to bed afterwards. So today when I was falling asleep again I had this super freaky dream where I was playing mini golf with my friends Katie and Maren. After the game we are walking around what appears to be a amusement park or fair. Katie decides to go to the haunted house and later comes running out in a crazed state. Maren and I go to her and try to calm her down and all she can say is "Look at the clock" She we walk over the the haunted house which is located on Hell St. and look at the clock. All I see is some weird image by the clock before I hear this loud noise.  In reality my phone was ringing. But it really mad me jump. Also it was Tucano's Brazilian Grill wanting to know if Divine Comedy wanted to schedule their Christmas party. I'm still not away from it I guess.

Gobble Gobble

Ok the title is misleading. I have no Turkey or Thanksgiving themed dream to share.

I did however have a Justin Bieber dream about a week ago. I was a spy working under cover at the Costco (hello Chuck). Things are going well enough until my cover is blown, or something to that affect, and we have a shoot out of sorts. My team arrives and we're shooting up the place, it was crazy stuff. But the most entertaining part for me was the fact that Justin is there, and is completely useless. I spend most of the time yelling at him to pull himself together. It brought me great joy.

But just the other night I had an epic dream. It was a LOST, HUNGER GAMES, MAD MEN, HARRY POTTER mash up. So Peeta and I are stranded on this island with a bunch of other couples. But also Don Drapper, and Dobby and Kreacher. And possibly Jack Shepard. And this really bad storm is coming in. So we all cram in this house and start to bundle up, because according to one person on the island its the cold that will kill you, apparently not the drowning. So I'm putting on about 5 socks while Don bundles up Kreacher and Dobby in plastic bags to keep them dry. Oh whats that? That's a TERRIBLE idea. Yeah no kidding. Not only does Kreacher dye, but Don gets knocked out by a fallen tree will he was outside with the little elves. I woke up while we were all still trying to find him.

So what did I get from all this?

I watch too much TV, and read too much HP and Hunger Games. Having a week off work may not have been the best idea.

Defending Religion

So I had a strange combo dream that I think had something to do with Mad Men and Sister Wives. Yes strange combo indeed.  It first starts off in some cafe where I'm meeting Peggy (from Mad Men), so obviously we're in the 60s and I helped arrange this meeting so the father from Peggy's church (yes the one who is really just Collin Hanks) can meet with her and make her feel terrible about herself.  So we're having that awkward conversation for a while, but then Collin disappears and my parents are there and its modern time again.  And I'm attempting to defend the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to my parents, who appear to not be Mormon. I was trying, and failing to explain the Book of Mormon, and the Joseph Smith translation of the Bible. They were not being very nice about any of it.  It was an awful dream.

So first off I'm glad my parents are indeed members, and that I don't have to explain myself to them.  Second, I feel like watching an episode of Sister Wives has given me better comebacks when people play the polygamy card. And thirdly, I want Mad Men to come back so I stop  making up new story lines.

Hopefully some Downton Abbey will fill the void.

Adventure's in dream wolrd

So I've had a few strange dreams over the last few days.

The first of which were set in Provo. First I'm starting up a new history class. Its with my favorite teacher, Dr Skabelund, and its the most vague description of a class ever. Its basically World History, no timeline whatsoever. As the class begins I realized its more like Wars of World History. And we had a ton of reading for the class. Then all of a sudden I'm kind of teaching or TAing the class. It was very odd. Then I'm out of class and wondering Provo with Mariah. We make our way to Park Plaza to see the new renovations they had done. The apartments had become mostly kitchen and bathroom, I couldn't see a bedroom anywhere. It was very odd. Also we kind of broke into an apartment to see them, ops.

Last night I had a wedding/Twilight dream. Yes I was upset too. Apparently my mind is psyched about the Breaking Dawn movie. It started off in my old house and I'm Bella, and all the Cullens are sitting around the house. I'm having to get all packed for the honeymoon. And all I'm packing is make-up (what does that really say about me?) Also for some reason I take hair mascara (I think I've been watching too many 90s shows (Power Rangers, All That, and Clarissa Explains it All)) and make my bangs black, very fetching. Then I'm in a very puffy wedding dress in some large house. But Edward is gone and now I'm marry one of my friend's cousins or something. And Mike is there setting up the Love Story he did for us (I think watching his latest one on Facebook sparked this part). The rest of the dream I'm walking around this large house checking on decorations, and my hair and make-up.
It was a weird one for sure. I hope my real wedding is nothing like this.

A Future?

So ironically enough I'm having some trouble sleeping. So I'd decided to blog a bit.

As of late I've been reassessing my life. I know moving back to Portland was right, my new calling has made that clear. So anyway I've been thinking more about what next. So obviously Grad School is on my mind a lot. And my summer shows like White Collar and Covert Affairs have started up again. These facts are important.

Last night I had a dream I was in the running for a very prestigious Master's program in Library Science. The best part was that it was only 4 months long, and for some reason it was at Langley (yes the CIA headquarters, don't ask). So to apply you had to do all of these weird test, like identifying what type of paper things were, and at some point things were blowing up. And in the end I didn't get the spot because I blew my last test so the other girl could win. I know this because there was a flash back of me blowing it. So in the end I decided to go to school a little closer to home and a bit longer.

I won't lie, its got me thinking more and more seriously about where the best place for me to go would be. Oh adulthood. What fun you are.

Until next time,

Its War!

So I finished watching season 2 of Castle last night, and in the finale there is this weird spy-cation company. Anyway, I think that sparked my dream last night.

I'm wearing my lime green and whale shirt, love that thing. And all of a sudden I'm in some abandon street with a gun. I look around and see some familiar faces, Caitlin, Mike, and Maddy. Then someone starts firing from up the street, so I get some cover behind a tree. Then I run into the street and start shooting like crazy. I think I hit someone. I'm not really sure why I was in a war zone of sorts, but it was intense. Also I'm not the best shot.

Until Next Time,

Paint-ball and New York

So I keep having New York dreams. The first of which was just me and one of the Tech guys kicking it in New York, it was like the rest of the group wasn't even there. And after some recent events, it was kind of nice. The next dream I was catching the Subway with pretty much all the other crew peeps. And for some reason I got on and no one else did. So Jordan begins signing to me to get off at the right stop, it was kind of funny seeing Jordan sign. So my train stops for some reason so I get off and catch the next subway and its some SKETCHY wooden train/tram. So I hopped on and hoped I wouldn't die.

The next dream I'd like to recount was my awesome Community Modern Warfare 2 dream. So it picked up were last week's episode ended. The ice cream evil people were everywhere, I was Annie, and it was hard core. We were all low on bullets throughout the dream, and there were random assemblies we all had to go to, and we always had our guns ready. To be honest there wasn't a ton of paint-ball action, but I woke up and was super excited for Thursday's episode. Actually TV on Thursday in general will be epic. Until then Netflix will keep me company.

Fun, Fun, Fun

Oh hey friends. It been a while. So quick update. I graduated, went to New York, and now have moved back to Portland. Also I decided to begin a transformation into becoming more like Zooey Dechannel. Its coming along nicely.

My poor sister had a DC nightmare the other night. It involved the lines for best of and a three legged stool building contest. Yes I know its odd. And apparently no one knows how to build a stool properly.

I had hopefully, for real this time, my last DC dream. It was triggered by an incident that occurred in NY where one of my friends, who will remain nameless, made a comment about my heritage and how it affected how I could enjoy a burger. Anyway, it was included into a sketch in my dream, and it involved me being on stage during an actual sketch. Luckily that was only a dream.

Lastly, I had a Chuck dream. Its was odd. Sarah had been possessed and so Chuck and I had to kick some butt. We did by the way.

Having a TV in my room is only going to bring more tv related dreams.

I'm so Gleeful!

So first off my shoulder has been killing me recently. Keep that in mind.

But more excitingly I had a Glee dream. And yes I'm blogging about this instead of writing a paper. So I'm Rachel, and we're at nationals, I'm about to sing my original song and the microphone is having major issues, and no one can hear me. Then Sue walks on to make some ridiculous speech about destroying us. So I stop singing and walk off stage, to which Fin comes up to me and tells me that dating Quinn again was a mistake. Quinn of course overhears this and faints. I find her and throw her over my right shoulder and carry her around for a while until I find a place to put her down.

I have no idea whether or not we win nationals or anything, all I know is that this morning, in reality, my right shoulder was KILLING me. Stupid Quinn...

College!

Its been a while, sorry friends. But last night I had a pretty good one.

Its an episode of Community. Annie is helping with this Years Valentine's Day activities and she needs to find this banner she gave some old skirts to the Dean to make. Most of the time the group is running around trying to help Annie with stuff, and then Abed and Troy are doing some prank. By the end of the episode they find the banner but it says Happy Grandparents Day. The Dean shows up and explains he grabbed the wrong one but traffic was too bad to go back and get the right one.

so yes it was really random, but it made me happy. When I dream about shows I like it makes me feel they're really arrived in my subconscious, you know what I mean. Oh course not, haha. Speaking of subconscious, I got an iPod touch for my birthday and of course I got the free Inception App. Its all sorts of tripy. It "inducing" dream worlds with crazy noises and music from the movie, but it also picks up the sounds around you and puts it in the "dream". Its some crazy awesomeness!

Best of both Worlds?

So dream last night that I was good friends with Hannah Montana, I say it that way because it was her show, not Miley in real life. So apparently she's pregnant, but its a secret and then her water broke, so we leave Park Plaza with all my roommates, some current, some old, and drive to the hospital. This hospital happens to be on the other side of War torn Berlin. Don't ask I have NO idea. But I must say she's a cute pregnant lady, even with the whole out of wedlock thing....

Also I'm home and I'm loving it. I even have a TV in my room now, jury's still out on that one though, haha

They are coming, they are coming

Ok I won't lie, since I saw Deathly Hallows Part 1 I've had about 3 Harry Potter dreams. Most of them have involved me running away from He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, trying to find Horcruxies, and stuff like that. Although my favorite was the one where I was following Hermione around London as we were trying to hide, but then I branched off and then started to track down my friend Katie. In the dream she had moved to London for Study Abroad. I finally found her in this awesome apartment downtown and we just kind of talked and ate food. It was a good dream.

I've also been having some Target nightmares, which is pretty normal for this time of year. But I'm not going back to Target, ever, so I hope those dreams soon stop.

Last night I had a Fringe dream, which is really funny because I've only seen that show a total of 3 times. But it picked off where I left off, so it kind of made sense.

I'll try to be better about updating.

LOST

So the other night I had this dream that I was flying somewhere with my family and we made an emergency water landing. It was nuts, and I looked out the window and it must have been Hawaii because I thought to myself in the dream, its just like LOST! But then natural the novelty wore off and i realized we could die, or my luggage was going to be ruined! I'm not sure which one was worse. So then Its all a sudden a port and the plane drives out of the water and onto a runway. And we're not really sure where we are so I pull out my cell phone which some how tells me we're in North Carolina or something along those lines. And then its over, just like that. I'm fairly curtain I would be a little more concerned if that happened in true life. But who really knows...

Thats Why I'm so Tired All the Time

So in ASL today my professor tells us how if you dream a lot you're more tired. WHAT!?!?! Just because I have awesome dreams I get punished! I will not stand for this.

So about a week ago I had a dream that was a mash up of Bones, Covert Affairs, and Chuck all in one massive love fest. I had to go under cover as a hooker, you heard me. So apparently I'm a spy and have the legs to be a hooker, I take that as a compliment. I run to the side of the building with either Bones or Sarah and them help me into me hooker outfit. May I also take a minute to say I looked pretty good, for a 5' 2" hooker...

So then Monday night I may have forced a Harry Potter Dream by watching the new trailers approximately 10 times each, and then proceeding to read my favorite parts in Deathly Hallows. Anyway, so I'm home (that being the little red house not my current home in Portland) and I'm hanging out with my family which I know is going to be the last time in who knows how long. Also I'm secretly packing all the while because I know Harry, Ron and I may need to leave at a moments notice. It was pretty amazing.
Also can Part 1 come out already. I'm going nuts!

Tonight I'm shooting for some sweet Ron dream. If I read his return enough times I'm sure it will happen.....

The Beaverton Stake Center Presents...

So Another EPIC dream last night. I'm pretty sure it was sparked by hanging out with Caitlin last night and showing Uno Face to some people.

So I'm at the stake center and there are chairs set up facing a new stage and up walks Lady Gaga to play a piano recital of sorts. But then she got offended that people weren't really into it so she got off the stage and asked other people to play. So Haley got up and started playing a beautiful piece. Then off a little ways from me is this kid who was in my ward sophomore year and he is talking to the dad from Psych who is apparently his manager. And apparently this kid had secretly been in love with me since we met and he was freaking out that i was at the concert that he was also to play at. So he needed a volunteer and he happened to "pick at random" my seat. So I went up and he confessed his undying love for me and I got all weird and giggly and then all of a sudden I confess that I use to date Joe Jonas... yeah I'm pretty sure I had a Jonas (as in their TV show) dream. I also forgot to mention Tyler and Katie, as well as most of her family were in attendance with Haley and I. Pretty fantastic dream. Sadly I woke up with no Jonas nor a fantastic pianist. Alas

explosion

Don't ask. Ok long time, so sorry. I work constantly and then I was in Hawaii and the Whitney, Matt, Kabe and Casey were in town but now its time to get down to business.

First off about two weeks ago I had this weird dream that John Header was single and pursuing me heavily super weird. Also what happened to that guy?

Next one, for some reason I found myself drawn to my brother's middle school. So I go and drag my sister with me. We go and start wondering the halls where I find my parents outside of the choir and band room apparently something happened to the number they wanted to do for 8th grade graduation. The principal didn't like the big voice of Mercedes at the end. Yes Mercedes of Glee. So I guess its extended down to middle school? And then as I was leaving Emily and Bryce show up to check out the schools because they were moving to the area. If only...

Also I had a dream Maddy got offered a Job at BYU and had to leave right away and I was super jealous and sad to see her go. And ,my mom was super distressed.

Oh oh I just remembered I had a Hunger Games dream! But it was an arena in a populated area and your sponsors actually housed/hid you. A little weird. I would really like that lost book to come out!

Also side note, Eclipse, anyone? Ridiculous, really, but awesome.....

I should write a romantic comedy

So I'm brilliant. At least in my dreams. So.... Two childhood friends reconnected after years. The woman is a widow, the man a widower. They both have one child. And decided to go on a road trip across the nations to return to their home town. Throughout the trip they share memories of their spouses as well childhood ones. One in particular was this weird memory involving matching you're true love blah blah blah. And by the end of the trip they realize the love each other and the girl has been secretly matching him under her sweatshirt the whole time. So he takes off her jacket to reveal it and then they kiss.

Ok so it was really weird. Sorry.

The Ultimate Dream!

The setting. A hybrid of Provo and downtown Portland. The people, me, Mariah, Emily (the new girl I'm working with a few days a week, some high school buddies and Claire from Lost. What were we doing, getting cupcakes. My most favorite thing ever! And we went shopping at a few cute little shows. Also attending a parade, which my high school friends who all did Outdoor School were in. It was very hippy/Oregony ish. All in all it was epically awesome. I wish I could give you more details, but I've lost most of them now. Buts thats the way it goes.

A reorganization of the church? and Chuck

So a few gems over the last week or so.

First off was a slightly blasphemous dream. Its general conference and my whole family is on the stand, like where the 70 sit. We're sitting there and they are calling out the new callings in the church. Ever famous Mormon was getting called, including Donny and Mary Osmond and Gladys Knight. And my mom was briefly head of all seminary. Which I'm thinking is suppose to be head of CES, which I'm going to venture to say has to be a man in the real world. As fake as it was it was pretty exciting.

The next one was this weird me working at Target and Chuck hybrid. So I'm working at Target but for one day only we dressed it up like a Best Buy, our uniforms and all. It was super weird. And some how characters of Chuck were involved. Don't ask.

Last night was the real kicker. So I'm Sarah from Chuck, and Chuck and I are chasing Shaw into a Buy More. And shooting, there was a lot of shooting. When we got inside Chuck's sister, Ellie, and brother-in-law Captain Awesome there, and Awesome got shot. So I, along with Ellie ran him outside and I gave them my belt, along with Morgan and Casey's belt, to use as a tourniquet. I guess my dream world still remembers her Girls Camp first aid training. In the end of the dream we finally killed Shaw, well I assume. I woke up, and I usually win in dream world.

Also my 2 readers. I'm working on a new blog post with Mike for the DC webpage. Look at for it!
