I heard a good analogy for the chances to win the big lottery. If you had a stack of pennies the height of the empire state building, then the odds of picking one particular penny out of that stack are a thousand times better than picking the winning lottery numbers.

Do you ever lie in bed at night, in the dark but not asleep, and think that it could be any night of your life when you were lying in any bed as long as it was dark and if you reach out and turn on a different lamp you will be in a different room than the one you went to bed in?

Had trouble getting up this morning.

That's fascinating. I dreamt my cat pooped a lot in the litter box and I had to clean it. Thanks dreams!

The window cleaners are back.

I dreamed about work meetings. So incredibly boring.

I had a dream we had a new neighbor who brought over 2 strawberry bushes (I know they don't grow on bushes in real life) to my house and 2 plants with money tied to the branches to our next-door neighbor. I asked the next-door neighbor if he wanted to trade 1 strawberry bush for 1 money bush so we would each get strawberries. He was all, "Yeah, I'll keep my money plants, thanks." And then on closer inspection the "money" was just coupons that look like money.

So basically I won, is what I'm saying.

Is that a prophetic dream that you aren't winning the lottery? Better enter the strawberry lottery, Tep. Which is basically what planting strawberries is, I guess.

ETA also, I have a Strawberry Tree in the backyard which is for shade and ornament, not for eating - it has fruit that kind of look like strawberries and they are technically edible but, as the lady at the nursery told us when we bought it, you wouldn't want to. SO be careful with those strawberry bushes.

Is that a prophetic dream that you aren't winning the lottery?

I hope it's a prophetic dream that strawberries are coming my way! (Well, we bought strawberries at the grocery store this weekend, so they already came my way, but I'll take more!)

ISTR that, in the dream, I saw that a real $10 bill had fallen off the money bush, and I pocketed it. So this means a couple of things: 1. I am a shifty thief in my dreams, and 2. $10 founding father without a father, yo.

But if I randomly find a $10 in the next couple of days, I'm going to open up my own psychic hotline.

2. $10 founding father without a father, yo.

I am seriously wondering if they are still going to go ahead with the plan to replace Hamilton. I wish they would replace Jackson.

Also, I think Facebook is reading my mind. Twice I have THOUGHT about something, just in my mind, not out loud or anything, and an ad for that thing has come up on Facebook. I was just thinking I needed to ask my uncle for a recommendation for a massage therapist, and there was an ad for a groupon for one!
