So glad it was just a dream.....

I know I have reached R.E.M sleep when I start dreaming. Somehow, I seem to have vivid dreams that can be off the wall...... Weird. Ever since I was a child I had dreams that were so crazy. I remember the time I dreamt of myself riding my red tricycle on the 101 freeway (It was scary! I ran off the cliff!). Then there was that dream of my childhood pet Kitty Cat....Jake....doing backstrokes in our pool of strawberry jell-o. I've had dreams where I was literally enveloped in an environment that was cartoonish...like Toon Town. Oh yes....I can't forget.... there was that dream when I had the power to control the weather. (I believe I was around 8 years old...but I thought that was pretty cool!) ANYWAY....I had reached the R.E.M dream state this morning. I was dreaming....that I went to the spa at Glen Ivy....to get a nice, relaxing Facial. You know....something to REJUVENATE my skin. It seemed relaxing, until I looked at myself in the mirror to find out that the results were similar to what happened to Sammy Sosa (That baseball player). Please refer to the following photo:



I.....Was.......M-O-R-T-I-F-I-E-D. I mean, I didn't look like Sammy Sosa in the literal sense....but I was just as pale as Edward Cullen...the Vampire. I'm so glad it was just a dream......................

Really....I'm not Twenty anymore...or Am I????

So My dearest hubby asked me out on a date to go to the Laker Game, and as a supportive wife for his love of basketball (which I in turn, have been molded to love), I thought sure why not. Then he tells me, oh yeah I also got tickets to opening night of NEW MOON to premiere at the brand new theater at LA LIVE across the street from Staples Center. (A MIDNIGHT SHOWING??? ARE YOU CRAZY.....That's what went through my mind) Jason knew that The Twilight Saga has been my guilty pleasure and I have to admit I read all of the books in 4 days. YES...4 days. HOWEVER, despite reading the books in record time, I know i'm not a spring chicken anymore. The last time I was able to stay awake past midnight was over a DECADE ago...when Jason and I were still dating. (Well, i'm sure that there was a time between where I probably did stay awake past midnight...possibly due to heartburn or indigestion). I wasn't too excited because Jason knows that I like my space...I don't want to be amongst the crowd, especially around little Teen Twilighters screaming over these new "heartthrobs". My ideal situation is to wait a couple of weeks until all the excitement dies down....go see New Moon during a MATINEE show when I'm awake. Jason argued that whenever he plans something that is "out of my comfort zone" I always look back and say that I had a good time. TRUE. Well....I had to tap into my early twenties again. We had a chance to double date w/ some awesome friends, who I warned, that they had to keep me awake because I doubted that I had any special powers to be alert during the midnight showing. Well, it was definitely a big deal spending an hour waiting in line to get into the theater and people watching. We saw George Lopez interviewing people on the street. Once we entered the huge theater, people were reserving seats...but thanks to our hubbies, they were able to secure some awesome front row balcony seats where we could rest our legs & enjoy our buttery popcorn and other healthy snacks. I actually had to defend our seats while our spouses went to get refreshments....there was a Twilighter with an attitude that was trying to modify our seating arrangements...but I had to stand my ground and told her what's up. We did have a great time, New Moon was definitely Hollywood Spectactulous...and Hilarious because all the Twilight teens went GaGA over the mighty torsos plastered on the big screen. Some fans were dressed like Edward! Crazy. It was a memorable night to be able to feel Young again and to spend it with great friends...Thanks Coral & Matt.
