Need some bostonfred input here:

Last night I dreamt that we were living in temporary housing until we moved into our new house. Our temp housing was amazing, though--a roboto-worthy palace--and tons of our friends were over oohing and ahhing about it, but I had to tell them we didn't own that place but were buying a different house.

Anyway, I was looking for my hiking pants, which I never found, but throughout the house our friends were going through boxes and boxes of paperwork to gather documents in response to a subpoena involving some fraud alleged to be committed by some bank. But all the paperwork in the house comprised every bit of paper or documentation that had ever involved me in my whole life. As I walked through the house searching for my pants, I kept coming across my friends pulling out documents to see if they were responsive to the subpoena, and I was getting really pissed off because they were not taking good care to put the documents back in the order they were in but were just flinging stuff around and being really careless.

Then I noticed one of my friends was about to get to my tax returns, and I stopped him and said this was ridiculous, because all these documents had to do with me, not some bank fraud, and of course none of them were going to be responsive to the subpoena, but really I just didn't want him to see my tax returns and know my income. But when I told him this was ridiculous and that none of these documents would be relevant, he pulled out a tiny piece of paper, square, that had been folded in the middle twice. He unfolded it and told me that some of these documents were clearly relevant, like this one, which said: "Krista and Linda: Miss Coppertone called", and it was signed "Donna".

[Pause to mention that Linda was a paralegal who worked for me at Kraft, and Donna was my admin there, and in the dream I knew these were the people referenced.]

I took the paper and realized he had misread the handwriting, and it really said, "Krista and Linda: Good cooking. Donna"

Fin.

Honestly I think you know what this one means. This isn't complicated.First I think you're struggling a little with the constant moving. Partly because it's stressful, but partly because you have some occasional doubts about ask this moving and how it's impacting your life. You're a smart successful person and you know your value to an employer, and sometimes you wonder if the turmoil in your life is impacting your ability to be the best that you could be.

I think you took the joking about your Chet bragging a little personally. The people looking at your tax returns represent a mild embarrassment about your success and people making comments about it. (You should know that that's not really something you should be worried about here. Everyone here likes you and if anyone is joking about it it's because it's shtick and fun, not because anyone actually gives a #### ).

I think you're frustrated that sometimes people don't understand where you are coming from. You have legit work here that your doing and everyone access like it's just a given that your going to earn your keep and keep succeeding. It's hard and people don't always give you credit for all that you do. You would never say it aloud but it bugs you a little because you take pride in what you do and you feel like you're sacrificing a lot to get where you want to be. And you've invited a lot of people into your world who don't totally understand that.

The miss coppertone thing is weird and I can't say for sure without understanding your relationship with those two people better. But absent that, I think it represents the implied sexiness of your life, and the way your friends misunderstand your lifestyle, when you perceive your life as being more like a girl who likes to eat good food and hang out with friends.

With people not putting stuff back where it goes,it feels like maybe your worried that real stuff is getting lost in the shuffle. Maybe your worried that your not doing the best you can, or maybe you're worried that your relying on people who can't support you the way you need them to

The hiking pants thing is just you realizing that you had mentally committed to being a mountain dwelling Seattle hippie and now her you are changing your life around again. Each time you've moved I think you've committed to changing your life a little and I think it bothers you a little when you move on and don't get to be that person who moved to Nicaragua, Pitt bought a cool house in Seattle, or whatever next change you make. It's a very stressful thing to move around like you do, and you seem to be dealing with it in a fairly healthy way.

Also I think you really want to show your titlties to your good friend bostonfred via pm because you trust him not to share them with everyone else. And your instincts are right. I would be so careful with them. Totally trustworthy.

Speaking of "bugs you a little"... the grammar here is going to drive her up the ####### wall.

:lmao: I assume at this point that people do it as shtick.

BF, that summary was shockingly serious and possibly accurate (well, other than the last bit :lmao: ). Miss Coppertone likely somehow relates to my pasty white skin.

What did I miss?

 
Texas people: I want to buy a gift for the old folks who are selling their house to us for less than they had hoped. They have bought a house in Texas somewhere, so I'd like to get something Texas-related. I don't know much about them other than they're 70-80 years old and the wife is into photography and painting. Ideas?

BevoETA: Or a photo of you with a painting of money bags and you in the painting laughing and pointing to a map of Texas.

Maybe a painting of something quintessentially Texas like the Alamo or Davey Crockett or Buck Rodgers?We also like guns. And bibles.

Maybe a painting of something Seattle-esque to remind them of home.

Painting of Willie Nelson with a Bible and a gun standing at the Alamo?

I'm having a hard time imagining what could be urgently interesting to both you and me.

I've been going over and over this and can't come up with anything. I didn't realize until now that we have basically nothing in common. :lmao:

It's quite the mental exercise, right? All I could come up with is some sort of cheerleader/lawyer skit.

I bought a bag of ice yesterday for $1.99. I handed the cashier $2 and walked away before she could even try to hand me one of those outdated useless coins.
