Here's a fun little anecdote from this morning. I was having what was a pretty normal dream (I can't remember the first part of it, but I'm pretty sure it was normal), when suddenly it turned into a nightmare because there was a tiger in my apartment. (And any of you who've been to my house can attest to how small it is. There really isn't room to run/escape from a dangerous animal.) Midst my freaking out - in my dream - about what in the world was I going to do about having this tiger in my house, I kind of woke up, and I thought "Oh, I'll just sing to it... and I'll feed it red meat" and then "I can't give you anything but love, Baby" cued in my head (and in my dream) and I fell right back to sleep and sang to the tiger, which it loved. And then I fed it raw hamburger, which it also loved, and we were totally friends and it was no longer dangerous.
I've never felt more like *Katharine Hepburn in all my live long life, and it feels so good. You just can't beat channeling a classic screwball comedy and making it your reality, even if it is only a dream reality. Now, if I could just get a little Cary Grant in my dreams... That would be even better.
*Above is a shot of my girl, Katharine, with Baby (the leopard). Bringing Up Baby is, pretty much, the funniest movie of all time. For any of you who haven't seen it, you must. If you live close and are still in the vhs age, please feel free to borrow my copy. This movie is fan-freaking-tastic and it's my personal belief that EVERYONE should know the sound that a loon makes.

This post made me laugh out load. I sometimes wish I could even remember my dreams, but I can't. Which is sad cause there are some days where I wake up thinking about how crazy my dream was and that I need to tell someone about it, but them I can't remember what my dream was. Oh well. I do love Bringing up Baby. It is a very good movie and I am happy to say that I have it on DVD or Shelly does or something. But that we have it in close vacinity. :)
While I have not seen the movie, I did enjoy the picture that went along with your post. Cary Grant showing up in a dream would indeed be even better. :)
at the tone, the time will be, 9:30 AND 3 quarters. beeeeeep.
I was born o the side of a hill....
Isn't it sad (in a lovely way) that our family can all quote lines from the film? Loved your dream - maybe it's a good thing I don't remember mine, I'm crazy enough as is!
"No, this is my car" Such a great movie!! I don't think I've made Scott watch it. He missed out on so many of the classics. Curse having younger, "hip" parents!! I'm so happy that I was raised right!
Doesn't anyone who knows you know what a loon sounds like?
...hehehe, I just cracked myself up!
