I Almost Got Arrested

I spent a good deal of time with Casey yesterday. He works for a major drug store chain and was telling me about some robberies that had taken place at various stores.

Sooo...last night I dreamt that I was at Walgreen's walking around in my robe. I came to a corner in the back of the store where the pain relievers were and noticed a red sale tag displayed on the bottom shelf near the ibuprofen. I bent over to see what the price was, and my robe (the tie at the waist type) started to come open. I stood up, untied my robe and cinched it back up tight. Almost immediately, I realized it was a stupid thing to do. It probably appeared that I was trying to shop lift.

Sure enough, two security guards approached me and told me they knew I put something inside my robe. I tried to assure them I hadn't, but they were not convinced. They lead me to a back room, where I had to wait for a female officer to come and search me.

Then I woke up.

Chase Your Wildest Dreams? No Thank You.

I had a dream a couple of nights ago that I can't seem to get out of my mind. My kids were all around elementary school age and Don and I were taking them on a family vacation...by way of dune buggy! Yep, we were all going to load up in this...



and head to Oregon, by way of Disneyland!



Like most dreams that turn into nightmares, we encountered a couple of problems. I couldn't seem to get the laundry caught up so we could finish packing...



and, the more I thought about it, the more concerned I became about having enough money to do both Disneyland and Oregon, so I was consulting with Don about maybe just skipping The Happiest Place on Earth and heading straight to the pacific northwest.



Can you imagine driving rainy, Oregon roads in a dune buggy with four kids?

I woke up before the decision was made, but either way I would have been miserable.

Boy am I pleased it was just a dream!
