I dreamed last night that we were staying at my Grandma's, and there was a tiny gray puffball kitten in our room. Robyn kept having to scruff her to get her to quit attacking our feet. Somebody told me she was pregnant, and I thought "good, we can get a kitten to be Anna's friend." In the dream this all made sense.

In the other dream, I was at work with Cat, (1) in a place that was not the theater but seemed kind of like an enormous school. It was still summer in the dream, so not many people were around. We were talking in the lobby and we saw Jerry(2) go out the front door pushing a 6' spool made up of 6 smaller spools of colorful and sometimes sparkling 1" tubing. In the dream I knew this was for an upcoming production, and that it was some kind of rope lighting. So Cat and I were checking a storage room for something and in the room was a genie lift and in the lift Nick(3) had left his wrench. I thought it was funny that he had left his wrench at work all summer. We left for the day and went to leave the building by going out the side door of a large stairwell, but I went back to use the bathroom. I looked one way down the hallway, and found a library. I went the other way down the hallway and I finally found one. Through the door was another large room, where some other people were setting up tables for some kind of event with ornate tablecloths and furniture. In the bathroom. I went through to the other side of the room and through a hallway into a bathroom that also included showers and baroque styling. All that time I was thinking about Cat waiting for me outside in her car.

Then I was awakened by jackhammers on the sidewalk so I'll never know what would have happened next.

(1) Cat is the electrician, and her name is a coincidence
(2) Jerry is a manager and wouldn't be pushing anything
(3) Nick is an electrician

Things I want to eat leately

* Ice cream. I've had some, but I just want more. Friday we went to Miami ice, but I had a Miami Ice which was very tasty but not the same. Saturday we went to Foo's but custard is melty and they put pecans instead of almonds in my concrete so I still want ice cream. In a waffle cone.

* Enchiladas. Donald and I went to Mannys a week ago and whatever the sauce is that they use for enchiladas, I want to EAT it. We all tried to go to Mannys on Friday but it was busy so we went to another place that was good but not the same so I still want enchiladas.

* Delicious Asian noodles. It's frikking hot here and not the time to eat warm noodly soup. That doesn't stop me from wanting it. About a month ago I looked at too many pictures of food online and haven't gotten any noodles so I still want delicious noodles.

Izze update: Izze in a can isn't as delightfully fizzy as Izze in a bottle. It's still really tasty though.

I just bought some juice


I bought it from Amazon. The price was really good, and they gave me $.99 shipping. For 48 cans of liquid, I think that's a steal. Have any of you tried Izze? Donald and I love it. It's 70% fruit juice and 30% sparkling water. It satisfies my craving for the fizzy, and with no HFCS. I probably first had this stuff at Chipotle, where it goes nicely with your burrito. They also have it at Starbucks. More importantly (to me) they have it at Costco, where the 12 pack (12 oz bottles) goes for $10.99. At Whole Foods you can probably pay $5.99 for 4, so the Costco price is really good. Amazon just gave me 24 cans (8.4 oz) for $15. I don't always want 12oz of fizzy deliciousness, and putting the lid back on just lets the fizz out. I'm looking forward to the smaller size.

Flavors we love: Clementine
Flavors we like: Blackberry, Pomegranate
Flavors we don't like so much: Apple
Flavors we haven't had: Blueberry, Grapefruit, Peach

Last night I dreamed that I couldn't find my shoes. I had this big pile of shoes, and I'd find one shoe but then when I thought I had the other, it would be the wrong one. It was raining or something, so I was looking for a specific pair so my feet wouldn't get wet. Huh.
