Last night I dreamed that I had taken my dog back to Macon to see a friend. She and her sister were living together for some reason, and at first they had been at Michelle's house. However, on this occasion they wanted to order pizza, and they could only get pizza delivered to her sister's house, so they were staying there. Michelle gave me a tour of the house, detailing everything she hated about it, as her family ate.
The house was old and rundown, but her most memorable complaint was the wallpaper on the ceiling. It didn't cover the ceiling, it looked more as though someone just didn't cut it at the top of the wall, so it ran over. In one room, the paper was sort of an 80's green. Not too olive like the 70's, or too forest like the 90's, sort of a pale sea mix - where mold may grow unnoticed. It had a strange 80's floral pattern as well, and it looked like it was coming off the walls...and ceiling. The corners were peeling back in places.
Before returning to her family, we stopped in one of the old restrooms. It was washed in a muted pink, but what's more, the floor was carpeted! I remember this because to my horror, I looked down to find my dog peeing on it. I cleaned it and apologized before taking my dog down the stairs that led straight from the bathroom to a bedroom. It was there that I found another little Dachshund! It looked just like my Abbs but with short hair. I knew it was Michelle's dog, but I plotted to steal it for my Abbs (Michelle does not have a doxie in real life).
Toward the end of the dream, Michelle's mom started walking around with us and scolded her for being so harsh on her sister's house. Like a sullen teenager, Michelle pouted back that they wouldn't even be there if it weren't for the stupid pizza delivery man. *And end scene*

Now, because my dreams are often much crazier than this, I try to figure out where they came from or what they mean. There are plenty of dream interpretation websites out there and you can comment back what they say this means, but I'll give the easy explanation.
This dream is the result of too much Facebook (Michelle), too much HGTV (all of the design shows), and my dog peeing on my bed last night! She hasn't done that since she was a baby!!! (And ooooh was I pissed.) Oh, and also my guilt over not having a friend for her to play with.
I've never met Michelle's family, so they didn't have distinct features in my dream, and not too much attention was paid to them. Things like the puppy and the interior scheme, things I've seen before, were much more clear.
Hey Rachel!
