New Year's Dreamin'

So I had this incredibly.....detailed...dream last night that I have to share with people who can appreciate it.

I dreamed that for New Year's Eve I spent the evening with some of my great friends from the Lounge. (reality: some of you I've actually met, and some were your avatars...sorry). Let's see, Bear85 & Mrs. Bear were there; HRG & Mr. HRG; Pistol Pete & the Mrs.; Pony KC & Mrs.; Tavo I believe you were there with the Mrs.; Andi (you may or may not have had a date---can't remember); and of course MY escort....the nameless, faceless man I've been dating in my sleep for years.

We were all at a BSO show at a place that I imagine the Surf Ballroom (in Clear Lake IA where the Buddy Holly show was last year??). Anyway, it looked NOTHING like what the real place looks like, as it was sort of a game show set combined with a hotel I was at in Hawaii (when I was 7 yrs old.....a LOOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGG time ago).

There were dinner tables everywhere, only a few large enough to accommodate our party and all the decor was in burgandy (same as the hotel I remember from Hawaii). And I can almost tell you down to the "filler" what the centerpiece floral arrangements looked like. That's the way my dreams are...oddly detailed. I could even describe the black, sequined dress I was wearing. Although I dont' know who's body it was....but it was much better than my own! Hey...it was MY dream...I can be a goddess!!

We sat down, ordered drinks & appetizers and suddenly the maitre'd (can't spell) came over and set down an ultra cool floral arrangement from "our favorite band" from the HDVDL who couldn't join us for our NYE celebration: The Blenders.

The arrangement centered around a beautiful pinky-coraly orchid.

I woke up this morning thinking, "Who the hell are the Blenders?"

It was the oddest of dreams. But it appeared we were having a great time...even without our dear friends...The Blenders.

My REAL New Year's Eve was spent catching up with my dearest & closest of friends..and talking like pirates while playing a game called "Loot."

I have some really weird-ass dreams. And the fact I can remember them with such detail drives me bonkers!! Now...what are the names of those 2 little people running around the house calling me, "Mom??"

Enjay, I have to ask: have you ever been a florist??

If I had a date, I hope it was the guy in my avatar!

Sounds like a much more exciting New Years Eve than mine - I was asleep before midnight!

If the HDVDL ever starts a band, it should definitely be called The Blenders. We certainly have enough talented people here for it!!

I was there... until Setzer walked in and ruined it. I woke up with a bag of Limes and
a bottle of sailor jerry under pillow.

Andi--nope..never been a florist. But I've yet to meet a flower I didn't like. Roses...I LOVE hands down. But the arrangements in my dream weren't made entirely of roses. Nevermind...getting off track.

Sorry, your date was not the man in your avatar. I was very much encapsulated by the atmosphere in my dream to pay particular attention to your date. I was more attune to the # of people at this venue and at our get together. But, we can say he was drop dead gorgeous!

Tavo--what intrigued me most about my dream was that we never saw the BSO play! The whole gathering was about everyone getting together for a BSO show, and yet I woke up before there was even an opening act!

What I can tell you is that the linen napkins matched the tablecloths to a "T"though. Think I should've skipped that last beer before bed!

I'm a very linear & calculated person when I'm awake, but extremely creative in my dreams. If ever the 2 meet! I think the creative person will be the demented, shell of a person I will become when I'm in the nursing home someday!

I am totally honored to have been invited to your dream, Enjay!

Wouldn't it be something else if Brian played the Surf? I've never been there, but I'd sure try to go for that!

This sounds like quite the little shindig. Can you imagine the conversations we'd all have? Talk about a grand time! Maybe it will happen...wouldn't that be cool?!? The Blenders...lol... before I got to the end of your dream, I was wondering;"Did I miss something? Who are the Blenders?" And then to my surprise, you didn't know who they were either!

Happy New Year Enjay!

Apparently it's too good of a group name to not already be taken:

I think the guy on the right looks like Setzer (just kiddin'! )

Hmm...have I been the victim of subliminal advertising???
(drink Coca-Cola)
Makes me wonder.....
