Dreams and Dreamy
Tuesday, 27. January 2009
Well, last night it happened. I had my second wedding-related dream. Both dreams have actually been nightmares in that NOTHING goes right in the dream. Luckily, in last night’s dream I was at least wearing the wedding dress that I bought, and not some long-sleeved lacy thing.
So here’s how it went last night. For starters, we definitely were not on the beach. We were in the woods on very rocky, unstable ground. The possibility of rolling down a cliff was very real. I was sitting in a little wooden shack all dressed and ready and kept looking outside at the ceremony site. There were like four people there. I couldn’t figure out where everyone was.
I quickly realized that I had never sent out the invitations. I had sent the save-the-dates and kept hoping that people would remember. They didn’t. There were no more than five people in attendance throughout the dream. Once I realized that no one else was coming, I decided to come out of the shack and proceed with the wedding. As soon as I saw my brother-in-law, Neil, I realized that Laef and I had never written our vows and had never discussed the ceremony with Neil. (Neil will be marrying us in real life).
Now I am starting to panic. I tell Laef to just make something up when it’s his turn to say his vows.
“Just say whatever comes to your mind. Whatever you think about you, me, us.”
(If you know Laef, winging it is not something that makes him happy).
I spend the remainder of the dream wondering how ghetto and unorganized Ben thinks I am for not remembering to send out invitations. I fear that people think “forgetting” was part of a bigger plan to save money.
I wake up before the wedding starts.
So today I am tired from “running all around” looking for my guests and trying to “write my vows” quickly.
Now, on to the second part of this blog. The dreamy part.
Oregon just hired a new wide receivers’ coach.
Are you kidding me?
Now, no one can hold a candle to Oregon’s dreamy-est coach of all time, Jeff T., but when did the Duckies start hiring Ken dolls?
I’m just sayin’. There weren’t any coaches that looked like that when I was there. Most of them were a)married b)50 c)had chew-stained teeth and d)were bald.

Are we talking coaches or GAs? Because I remember one GA….
Allison Says:
OMG. Whatever happened to him???
AJ Says:
I think that’s Dobber from Coach.
eddy g Says:
There was this HOT equipment manager who went to CAL. Is that who you and Angie are talking about?
Allison Says:
Eddy G. Maybe if you ever wore anything besides gray sweatshorts without underwear you could qualify.
Whitney Says:
1. Is that guy tall?
2. Is he single?
3. Is he invited to the wedding?
Allison Says:
If Laef OKs it, he is DEFINITELY invited to the wedding. You know, just as some eye candy for all my single ladies.
And, P.S., his bio has no mention of a wife.

Good one! The Dress Greys are a thing of the past. We have clothing requirements now. Khaki’s and a Polo baby. I always wondered why you never looked me in the eye when you visited the EQR.
Allison Says:
Shut your ass. You don’t wear khakis, do you?
Your junk was everywhere. I couldn’t help it.

This is hilarious. Scott Frost (aka “Scottie Too Hottie” or “Scottie The Body”) was fighting to make the Packers when I was there, and every woman in the building REALLY wanted him to find a spot on the two-deep. (And in their deep one, for that matter.)
AJ Says:
I just friend requested you on facebook (thought I’d warn you in case you didn’t recognize my full name!). I figured if I accept requests from high school people that I don’t want to talk to, I should at least try to be Facebook friends with people I like (even if I’ve never met them). So, you should konw, there are a lot of girls named Allison Ross out there! After squinting at about 50 little pictures, I got smart and realized I could search by email address:)
Allison Says:
Jason, that is hilarious. I think I am going to start a blog to find the best nickname for McFrosty. As Britney (Spears) says, “He’s cold as fire, hot as ice.”
Can’t make those lyrics up, people.

eddy g: gray sweatshorts?
i just fucking threw up.
asit6 Says:
Allison – I don't know what happened to him…
AJ – I can TOTALLY see the Dobber from Coach similarities…just needs longer, finer blonde hair.
Eddy G – I'm glad that we were able to keep our EQR crush quiet for this long.
As for McFrosty, I just hope he can coach some receivers.
(I'll keep you posted on the Allison & Laef's wedding-worthiness.)
