Today I had to go to The Largest Mall in Canada(it used to be the largest in the world until The Mall of America) to pick up my daughters $500. Graduation dinner dress. I only had to pick it up mind you, it's been paid for already by the Grandmother as a gift to her granddaughter. :)
Before I headed out to the W.E.M. (West Edmonton Mall) I stopped by Blockbuster to get a movie.(Nothing on T.V. on Wednesday nights here)
Guess what I found!
Bottle Shock! *SQUEEEEE* It's a good thing that my kid wasn't with me, cause when I spotted it and scooped up the last copy I did a little dance in the aisle.
I was disappointed when neither Bottle Shock or Noble Son came to any of our indie movie theaters :( , but I got to see it tonight!
After I picked up the dress, I had to find a box it would fit in, because it didn't come with one. In my search for a box, I found a British Import store. You know I had to go in. While in there I just had to pick up a few treats to eat while watching Bottle Shock. So I bought some Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire Tea, Jammie Dodgers(delicious stretchy jam splodged at the heart of 2 yummy shortcake biscuits),Simpkins Raspberry & Cranberry Drops, After Eight Chocolates(in a different shape than we get here) and a Yorkie which according to the package
it's NOT for girls! When I arrived home I started to prepare dinner, which had to be done in front of the T.V. because
Galaxy Quest was on!
My daughter came home from work and we watched Bottle Shock while we ate dinner. She then surprised me by staying and watching the rest of the movie with me instead of heading off to her room after dinner.
I should have known it was going to be such a great day. I woke up this morning from an Alan dream.
Even though the end was kind of weird it was still an Alan dream which I don't have
often enough very often. I won't tell you all the boring parts, just where it started to get interesting.
Anyway in my dream I was outside at a normal suburban style house. There were lots of people at the front of the house minding their own business and I was dancing around having fun. Then I started to leap around and found out I could fly. A man I identified as a cousin told me that I should go fly in the back yard as there was no one I could bother back there. So I flew along the path to the side of the house grabbing the branches of the tree overhead, pretending to swing from branch to branch. I was half way to the backyard on the side path when I heard a voice behind me ask if I was enjoying myself. I looked down to see Alan with his fluffy white hair and all dressed in black walking along the path to the backyard. I let go of the branch I was holding and floated down and wrapped my right arm around his shoulders as he reached up to catch me in his arms. I buried my face in his neck, he smelled like musk, dark chocolate, citrus and salt. I couldn't help myself I licked his neck. He laughed and swung me around before he set me down and continued towards the backyard calling over his shoulder "Come and play cards with me" I ran across the grass behind him to a little white plastic table and two chairs.
There was a tall glass pitcher full of Ice tea and lemon wedges. We played cards and drank Ice tea, and I started to feel warm and fuzzy. I giggled a lot and when I stood up to go to the bathroom I felt all wobbly. I came back to the table and sat down to play some more, drinking up my cold Ice tea greedily. Alan cocked his eyebrow at me and in a slow deep voice suggested we play strip gin rummy. I leaned back in my plastic chair then ran my left hand slowly down the side of my neck and down the collar of my blouse while I fanned the cards in my right hand across my face, fanning my flushed skin as I crossed my legs.
"I don't think that was just Ice Tea in there" I laughed huskily.
He shrugged "Too late now I guess"he laughed"We shall have to continue as we have begun"
"I'm game" I said as I raised my glass to be refilled from the never ending pitcher.
Then in that way dreams have it jumped from one situation to the next and Alan and I were running around the backyard sans clothes, chucking bubbles at each other. They were single blown soap bubbles, but they were huge.
And the weird part that I promised you?
Well both of us were normal from the waist up, but from the waist down it seems that something went wrong, because he had the girl parts and I had the boys. O.o
