Ed's Dream...I took it from the previous post
On the subject of dreams, I had a really strange one last night: I went to the farm in S. Iowa by myself for a couple of days and was getting bored. I went into town and saw some guys playing basketball. This was strange because even though it was in Leon it was like an inner city basketball court (with the chain link fence and all the attitude) except no minorities. Anyway - I challenged the best player to a game and he said sure as long as we were playing for something. I didn't have any money on me so he made me play for my car against his. I couldn't back out and lose face so I said sure as long as the game is "horse". He agreed. I beat him and won is "car". His car turned out to be customized El Camino. It was customized because the back end had been changed to make it a mobile ice-cream selling (with freezer and place for cones and all that). Wow! I thought - I could quit my job at BP and stay down here and sell ice cream. So that is what I did. I sold ice cream in the Leon/Decatur City area. At this point in the dream a lot of people that I know came and visted, one at a time. So I wasn't making much money selling ice cream (just like Pete had said that I wouldn't) and I was about to pack it in and move on. Then I came up with a brilliant idea. I would figure out a way to get METH in the ice cream. I did it and the ice cream strarting flying out of the back end of my El Camino. Things were a lot riskier though. That's all I remember.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hamline University is closed today, Monday, March 13.
All day and evening classes are canceled and university offices are
closed. This includes the School of Law. The university will reopen on Tuesday, March 14.
Please use caution when driving today, and continue to monitor this
Web site and the Hamline Information Line (651-523-5555) for further updates on weather-related closings.
This made my day, even though I already fought my way bravely to work.
Ed, it all has to do with your quitting smoking. Being denied cigarettes and sweets. And maybe a desire to leave a busy city for the simple life. You and Paris Hilton should do a show together(no, I don't mean one of her movies).

Peter is doing much better. Finally started keeping food down last night. He lost 8 pounds this week.

Again with the felonious fantasies. Are we all outlaws at heart?
I love snow days and it has absolutely nothing to do with me. I think the universal "Yippee!" enters the atmosphere and makes everyone happy. Also every fall I but a brand new box of nice pointy crayons. They smell so good.
Play-dough smells good, too. You can get it in tiny little jars just the right size for a paperweight on your desk, then you can crack the lid and catch a whiff whenever you need a grin.
Is that Pete, of Mely and Pete???
Good to hear from you!
Ed, I posted on your dream down below, wrong blog!
Dad said that Uncle Bob is in a hospital in New Jersey, he collapsed, was there to do a mission...his blood sugar was really high. But, I haven't heard anything today...say a prayer for him!
Ed,
Was the car like Steve Rooney's pea green El Camino he had in h.s.?
Any news on Uncle Father Bob
i have that song "I'm gonna knock you out" by LL Cool J stuck in my head. oy.
did steve's el camino have shag on the dash?
It was exactly like Steve Rooney's pea green El Camino (except that instead of a topper on the back it had the ice cream stuff). It didn't have shag carpet.
The way the ice cream stuff worked was that I would park the car and stand next to it and would be able to take ice cream out of either side (of the car - but would have to walk around) - I would only sell cones and not the ready made treats. I don't remember what kind of cones were involved. Amazingly I don't remember any kids buying anything.
Someone told me that the patch caused weird dreams.
"Mama said knock you out"
Who did you dream about...Tom?!
Now summertime's here babe, need somethin to keep you cool
Ah now summertime's here babe, need somethin to keep you cool
Better look out now though, dave's got somethin for you
Tell ya what it is
I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin? by
Oh my my, I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin by
See now all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy
Hold on a second baby
I got good lemonade, ah, dixie cups
All flavors and push ups too
I'm your ice cream man, baby, stop me when I'm passin by
See now all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy
Dad asked me to let everyone know that Uncle Bob was released from the hospital today and is going to continue with the mission he's giving in New Jersey, but is letting the parish priests give the morning talks and he just gives the evening ones. He seemed pretty exhausted when we saw him in Florida. I think after this he gets to go home to Mexico and hopefully rest a little.
Ahem. Gay-la! Gay-la! Gay-la!
Tom and I are not going. Tom cannot because of Sarah's and I feel it is a lot money and fuss, for me, to attend without my husband. Maybe, we will be able to in the future. (smile)
For all of you that have never attended...it is a nice evening and I highly recommend it.
FEI (For Everyone's Information):
Just posting a couple of important dates about which you will receive mail later:
April 23 - Catherine's First Communion and Mia's baptism
May 13 - Joe's graduation (in Vermillion, SD)
If anybody else has important stuff coming up, (such as a high school graduation, say) how about posting the date so people can plan? By the way, Gala is April 1. (Thanks, Nance:)
Who is going to Algona for the St. Patrick's Day parade??? I'll be there...please come!
Anybody out there? I'm here and it's 9:19pm on Tuesday March 14th. Mary Ellan? I'm havin' a drink and a smoke and lookin' for a little chatter.
Whistle, whistle, thumb roll...I'll wait for a few...
Good-night. :-)
Hi Nance, are you there?
I've found something to do,late night...Craig Ferguson Show, 11:30 on CBS. He's REALLY funny and cute, I think he's from Scotland.
Has anyone watched him?
"Goodnight John Boy", "Goodnight Mary Ellan".
I am going to Algona for St. Pat's day. I am going to do a photo shoot with the Cheeto for the digital picture frame for my office.
We, of course, will be attending the parade. However, the kids and I may come home afterward instead of goung to the after-party. I have to pack and get ready for our weekend in Minneapolis 'cuz we are leaving bright and early on Saturday morning. Not sure.
oh my gosh.
Get me out of here. I just spent the last hour debating with my housekeeper and babysitter about whether Milosevic was really "that bad". They contend that maybe he did some things wrong, but he should not have had to go to The Hague. He should have been tried in Belgrade. I said there is no way he could get a fair trial there. My babysitter is suing her previous employer and he has not come for any court dates despite the fact that the judge has told him to come to court 4 times, yet nothing happens to him. I pointed this out to them, but they didn't seem to understand what I was trying to get at. (the justice system is a joke) As far as they are concerned, Albanias (Moslems) are the root of all evil here. THis gets tiresome listening to them complain about it.
You will leave and they will think you were a nice but misguided young American woman and hope to God you don't kill your baby letting him drink cold drinks or sleep with the window open.
I dreamed last night that Stevo went to St. Louis to get some lamb bones for me (I need 35 for a Seder meal next month) but they were all gross and bloody and stunk up the van so I put them in the washing machine.
Hello Y'all,
cathy, have you been think of buying a new washer?
We're planning to visit the Midwest in June.
Jim's disappointed CU didn't make it to the NCAA. I reminded him, there's only one good team going to the big dance. Jims dream last night, IA H played Kentucky in FOOTBALL(IA h won 99-87) He's not on any harmfuldrugs, just listerine(21% alcohol).
Anyway, its all ACC, we are sick of it. This is not a poem, its for real. (Gillian has a classmate, Luke): Luke has a dog name duke who pukes.
Erin, Is that you?? You need to put your name. Maybe it's Otto.
Anyway, you guys should try to hook up to the Midwest when EMily and Scott will be here.
P
I hope Duke pukes and is out fast!
Hi ERIN! Lots of weird dreams in the family lately. Erin, how far would you bet on Iowa to go if betting $50?
Mary-
Don't tell me you are not going to root for the home state team...?
Mary--- Why would I want to bet with the unfaithful.
If GW, Syr or LSU beats Duke that pukes, why not Ia? go hawks!!!
That's funny. I haven't read this in a while, so didn't know about Ed's dream. Last night, I dreamt I went to buy potting soil and they sold me a huge bag of meth. It looked like soil, but "meth" was written all over it. I couldn't get rid of it after that so decided to put it in the flower box anyway.
But I guess that's what I get when I go back to Council Bluffs for a few days, a dream about meth.
