Is that a liger?

So, I had this strange dream the other day that I'm at Dawn's house, however it isn't really Dawn's house. It is this huge home with many rooms, formal living and dining rooms and she and Billy are giving me the tour. We come to one of the bedrooms and it is all white...white walls, white carpet, white bedding, white window treatments and I thought that was really odd. We come to the next room and it is quite large with four sets of bunk beds which Billy told me was the girls room. It turns out that the LSU gymnastics team was living with Dawn and Billy. As we are standing in their room, a large animal comes to the window and I'm frightened by it and Billy tells me it is the neighborhood liger and he is very friendly. Billy invites me to join him outside to meet the friendly neighborhood liger and as we go outside he runs away which makes me very nervous. It turns out this isn't the friendly neighborhood liger, it is a mean liger and we should go back inside before he comes back...and then I wake up.

It's a girl and a boy and a girl!

In my dream last night I was in labor and had a baby girl...then the doctor surprisingly reveals that there is another baby and it is a boy. Then what do you know, a third baby and it is another girl. The third baby was very tiny, like the size of my hand and died shortly after being born. The funny thing is with medical technology the way it is nowadays, how many people are surprised by twins or triplets? I'd guess few if any. I was so surprised by triplets and was very upset that I didn't have three names picked out. Just to make sure you caught that, I was upset that I didn't have three names picked out, not that I had three babies and one of them just died. It was really weird...and a bit disturbing because the thought of having one child let alone three totally freaks me out right now!

Amish Friendship Bread

Brandon brought home a starter kit for Amish Friendship Bread yesterday and he seemed really excited about it and I just rolled my eyes. For those of you who don't know what Amish Friendship Bread is, it is basically a chain letter in the form of bread dough. It is kind of neat at first but then it requires a lot of work, kneading the starter mixture, adding ingredients, dividing it up into starter kits that you give to your friends to harness them with these same responsibilities. I think it should be called Amish Enemy Bread because not many people I know would think it was friendly of me to give them raw bread dough?!?! Anyway the whole point of my story is to say that I ended up having a dream about the Amish Friendship Bread last night...the dream goes much like I'm assuming the scenario will go in real life. Brandon didn't have anything to do with the starter mixture after a few days and I just ended up baking all of the bread instead of dividing it up to give to people and we ended up with loads of loaves of various types of bread. There were so many loaves that I ran out of ideas of what to put in them...there were chocolate chip muffins, banana nut bread, cinnamon raisin bread, etc. I even put plums in one of the loaves...is there even such a thing as plum bread? Well there was in my dream last night!
