I Don't Have a Crappy Job When I Sleep

"Theresa, no one eats french fries for breakfast, not even you."
"I didn’t make them for us. They’re for the circus people living in the back yard."
"Oh. Well, I suppose circus people eat whatever they want whenever they want."
"Do you want to go out back and watch? I think the clowns are going to practice. It won’t be as much fun without their make-up, but we can pretend."


We shared the hammock in the backyard, bemoaning the fact that the circus people had packed up and left already. You tried to feed me cold french fries while you sang sappy Barry Manilow songs badly … or sang bad Barry Manilow songs sappily. I begged you to stop because my stomach hurt from laughing so hard.

I hate the damn alarm clock.

I want to remember a dream at all. I used to but now only rarely.

I wonder how you should interpret your dream, Theresa.

Sharing a hammock in the backyard is fun. Although I'm sure about clowns and circuses.

Holy Crap - I'm afraid of clowns - I'm not sure if clown phobia is a real disorder but I've got it.

Hey, girl. I know those days, when the dreams are better than the waking hours. I hope that turns around soon! And so sorry to hear about your tummy . . . but nice Sylvia will be evicted. You are in my thoughts!

We should all have dreams like that!

Spin Doc – I wish I always did too. My last dream was about my email account being flooded with uninvited bad homemade porn.

Unacknowledged Genius – Since I actually woke myself up laughing even before the alarm went off, maybe the dream is about being happy even after the circus leaves town. Or maybe it’s just a silly dream.

Aisha – I like clowns too. As long as they don’t party all night and piss off the neighbors, they can hang in my yard.

Shephard – Hmmm, maybe we should ask ol’ Barry? Could be a fun blog project.

Joy – It might depend on who you’re sharing the hammock with, but yes, in this case you’re right.

Andy – Oh yes, as they left, I do think I heard them say they were heading over to your place.

Al – Or, maybe they said they were going to Al’s place … I don’t know. I was busy dodging cold french fries.

Naïve – What respectable circus would have an Ass Clown???

Jayne – Thanks Sweetie. I’m almost done with my ordeal and back to normal … or as normal as I get.

Sumeeta – Yes, Sweet funny dreams for everyone!

Barry Manilow?
Sounds like a nightmare.

Good luck with the tum tum.

(some times dreams are a gift to let us know that everything is gonna be alright)

Just don't let my husband kill those clowns. You'll be begging for your alarm clock after that.
