Are you sure you want to spit out $6 worth of red roses?!

Had an interesting dream involving red roses on a blue pullout couch bed (the contrast!), Jeremy amusing himself by spitting out $6 worth of roses in his bathroom with a gold sink / rose lotion / rose soap, Erin visiting a sick Grandma Carter from ER who had wrapped $5 / $20 bills around everything (including her cups and Bibles), Mike's sister Joanna being rather chunky from hermit living (and NOT being invited to an Awana dinner unlike me / Mike / Margaret), a plot involving newspapers and mosque-like structures, the Biblical book Isaiah having names like Jennifer / Leslie / Liam, and two kids driving a car and drowning under a Richmond mall. Apparently, the atom building in the city map had great Internet access, and two kids on bikes behind that car were missing. Not sure why I had that dream, but it was what saved me from another restless night. o_O

Speaking of Jeremy, he had a most amusing response to my Evite: "I will be there. 31 flavors sounds like the perfect bubble tea combination, and at Dragon Ball, that would only cost about $18.50." Hahaha, I was perfectly happy with having him come by default like he has the past two years since he forgot to reply to those emails, but this is cool too. Eric has this to say: "You will only get those 31 flavors if you go to Baskin-Robbins, and if you do, you WILL be Baskin-Robbins." Haha, whatever you say! Andrea says: "Yay! Leslie, you are all 31 flavors to me and more! Chuck would love to be there to bug ya, but he's on call that day." I don't know why I got Andrea's reply three times in Gmail, but it's all good. :D (We COULD go to Dragon Ball after dinner, but that's kinda far! Steph suggested having people over, but that might not be a good idea...)

Karen says: "If mister and I are in town, I will wear an outfit with a warm, soft celebratory tone that says, 'Hey, it's Leslie's B-Day and I got invited, invited, invited.' (sound effect: more elegant, sing-song cheer than taunt). Advance Happy B-Day to you Leslie! :)" Randal's reply, which caused my sister and me to be greatly amused on Sunday: "I will go even though I, unlike Karen, do not yet know what kind of outfit to wear. Now, what kind of suit should I wear on a birthday?" Sheena's keeping it simple: "Chalaine and I will be coming!" Danielle, upon reading Karen's reply: "Oh my! Well, if I wasn't gonna go before, I'm gonna go now just to hear Karen's singsong taunt. :P Hehehehehe!"

Then we have the people who are undecided / not going... Dawn will do her best to be there, while Teunis says that it's rather quite unlikely since he doesn't have a roadworthy vehicle. Unfortunately for him, I don't have any friends in North Vancouver or Surrey! (not inviting Vania since it'll be far, and I don't know what she's doing - unsure about Nathan's spiritual gift of chauffeuring!) Steph says, "So... it turns out I have training on Monday nights. If you all pray for me and if I end up being more physically fit than I thought I was (ie. If I can pass the physical), then I'll be there. If not, then I'll be with my trainer... :( " I knew about this, so we'll see. Jasmine has school considerations: "31 - I lost track of your age! :P I'm sorry, but I can't go out on Monday nights while at school! (I have an 8:30 AM calculus class on Tuesdays - ouch - and a cell biology lab on Tuesdays that I need to prep for). I hope you have fun." Ah well, it's all good. :D (The Hollywood theme rocks!
