dreams come true.

now i'm no scientologist but i do have a weird thing with dreams.

most of the time they are completely bizarre and don't even make sense when i'm in them much less when i wake up. but other times they are just real enough to freak me the heck out. like the dream where my mom died. i wasn't right the whole next day even after i talked to her and knew she was fine. i think it was so terrifying because i have a tendancy to have parts of my dream become reality.

ah, if only all my dreams could come true, right?

but when my friend told me she dreamed i had frogs in my bed and that bailey was eating them, i didn't really think much of it. first of all, i've never had/known that someone elses dream about me came true. second, bailey and mallory have some kind of weird connection (as in bailey would like to attach her nose to mallory's hip and mallory would like for bailey to go sit in a corner and leave her alone). and third, bailey would eat a frog if she had a chance.

case in point, last night.

i had a small mound of laundry to put away before i could finally get to bed after the marathon that is extreme makeover. as i folded up one shirt i saw something go flying out and crawl up my bed. cue my blood curdling screams and bailey's ears and nose at full attention. it was a gecko. in my bed.

i'm pretty sure my neighbors thought i was seeing dead people, not a little lizard.

we chased it off the bed and into the corner. bailey really wanted to get her paws on the thing and i just wanted it to get the hell out of my bedroom. i was able to get it out in the hall where i had to take a break to freak out. in that 10 seconds bailey sucked the thing into her mouth.

cue more screaming.

by biggest fear was that she would chomp down and then i'd be dealing with gecko guts. my shrieks freaked her out enough to spit it out into the bathroom, good job dog. i thought about leaving it there but then i imagined it back in my bed...crawling across my face...while i slept... no thanks.

i was eventually able to corner it, trap it and get it outside. with much screaming and jumping around like an idiot. i was actually pretty impressed with myself. i had put my big girl panties on and dealt with it all on my own. apparently it was hard work though because i was sweating like a maniac.

i'm also pretty sure geckos taste bad because bailey really wanted some water.

anyways, i asked mallory if she could dream that i would win lots of money and find a hot boyfriend. because that would be way better than more amphibians in my bed.
