I think this weekend felt more like Halloween than next weekend will.
Bob and I hung out with dear Francis and his new girlfriend, Audrey, on Saturday. Francis had been wanting to go visit the Lizzie Borden house for quite a while, so we finally made plans to go. The whole story is really curious. I'm still thinking about the possibilities of who killed the stepmother since I'm almost positive that the maid got the father... but anyway!
So we went there, and then when that was over, we decided to get the full effect of the Lizzie Borden experience and show Francis and Audrey where she's buried. I know, this probably sounds a little morbid, but with Francis being the history nut that he is, it ended up being an amusing time for all of us... lol. :) After that we did something normal and went to dinner at the 99 restaurant. We had actually decided on Applebee's, but apparently, Bob's car wanted to meander its way into the wrong parking lot! Very yummy, nonetheless.
I found out that Audrey and I have the same favorite colors, and that Francis likes chocolate chip ice cream, and that his eyes will light up like a kid in a candy store when you tell him historical facts. Bob demonstrated that a few times! :)
Then today was shopping day... Burlington Coat Factory and the Dollar Store. They had Christmas decorations and cards and wrapping paper! I was so tempted, but I was good and didn't get anything Christmas related yet. Bob just kept laughing at me. :sigh:
Watched some of the game at his house, then went home to drop my things off and back out to meet my mom, silly aunts, and cousin at Panera's. They really are insane. I have no other words. Getting sleepy now.... off to bed!

Dream, Dream, Dream...
My subconscious is very disturbing.
I don't know if this happens to anyone else at all, but I've been dreaming of very strange scenarios with people that I've never met. Particularly older people as of late.
Dream 1:
I'm visiting some place that looks like the midwest with my mom and Bob. We're staying in a nice neighborhood with an older man (maybe in his 70s) that none of us have ever met. I don't even recall knowing his name in the dream. Anyway, we were staying at his house, which he said was haunted by a woman who was murdered there years earlier. During our stay, the woman's spirit is frequently present, and only attacks the old man.
On one occasion, she throws him down the flight of stairs near his front door. Just before she attacked, we were aware of her presence and went into the old man's kitchen to fill a bowl with tomato sauce. As she was throwing him, we ran out of the kitchen and threw the bowl in her direction as if the sauce would stop her! The old man wasn't injured, but we wanted to get him out of the house for a while since he had come to the conclusion that the spirit wouldn't follow him out.
Then we ended up in a plaza that had a dollar store. As the four of us were walking toward the store, we passed a kid with ice cream. The ice cream was melting onto the ground, and I happened to look behind me at that moment and saw a set of footprints walking through the melted ice cream. We realized that the spirit was still following us, and then my dream was interrupted by my obnoxious alarm clock.
Dream 2:
I'm moving back up to college and I start unpacking my stuff, but I'm not moving into a dorm. I'm moving into the library, and the entire campus looks nothing like it does in reality.
Oddly, I know that there was more than one person that came with me on the trip, but the only person I recall from the dream is an old woman who was supposed to be my grandmother. Yet she looked nothing at all like how I remember my dad's mother or my mom's mother.
On one of my journeys back to the car, my "grandmother" starts complaining at me because I'm carrying something in my mouth. Then I argue back, saying that both of my hands are full and that my mouth was the only other place I could fit anything! I have no idea how I'm even getting that out considering that I have a CD case (or something of the sort) stuck in between my teeth...
After that, I walk back into the library with my things, and I see a bunch of people that I remember from Assumption, but no one that I was close with. Just acquaintances. And not a single person looked at me strangely because I was moving my stuff in there. It was as if moving into the library were completely normal. Then, yet again, my alarm woke me up.
I'm not even sure that a dream interpretation book could help me at this point! Weird.
