Kodacrome Nightmare

"Last night, I dreamt I went to Manderley again…" Naaaah, that's Daphne Du Maurier ~ but I did watch Rebecca and snacked late on leftover cold noodles and sautéed string beans with hot oil. After the Hitchcock film I went to bed and had a strange dream.

I was in the land of my father's paintings and in front of a snowy moon lit scene stood an angel who looked like Elsa Lancaster in the Bride of Frankenstein. Her hands locked in prayer, pleading with Pee Wee Herman with Teridockle wrapped nervously around one of his legs. "Pee Wee fly away with me!" She implored.

He wasn't there, but I could hear Charles Laughton's booming voice barking from afar, "Where the hell's my wife!"

When I woke, it was easy to remember the dream's details, but impossible to get their meaning. Was Dad secretly into Pee Wee and never told me?

Has someone been stealing the heads off my daughter’s Barbie dolls and putting them on Christmas angels?

Should I stop eating hot oil after 11pm?

Food for thought, but right now I have to go back and finish a good cry, I'm watching Lassie Come Home.

"I'm putting a light in the window tonight. Per chance, she’s just gone for a long run."

How You Gonna Keep Them Down on the Farm After They've Seen Paree?

Clearly spending too much time indoors today, I organized a trip for Pee Wee & Elsa Lancaster Barbie to visit Alison's farm with geese in winter. Ali painted the farm when she was ten, making her grandfather, Bob, very happy.

Mad Mom's Not Pleased With Pee-wee

Despite Mad Mom's best efforts, Pee-wee continues to woo Bride of Frankenstein Barbie.
.
In the last month, Pee-wee bought fine art for his angel, taken her to roof top restaurants for French cuisine, arranged tango lessons, and spun Bride of Frankenstein Barbie through Central Park in horse-drawn carriages. The last straw for Mad Mom was hearing Pee-wee told Bride of Frankenstein Barbie that her Italian sauce was the best in the world. Made Mad Mom's blood boil.

Mad Mom promised to blast this tryst asunder. Stay tuned...

Watching the action, my Uncle Mommy's teddy bear & friends. There hasn't been this much excitement in the living room since Lawrence Tynes drove the ball through the uprights in Green Bay sending the Giants to the Super Bowl two seasons ago. Teddy is hoping to get called into action later in the football schedule this year. Teddy told me he was in a car last week, and a guy pulled up along side him in a yellow Hummer with a sticker on the side that said "Top of the World." When Teddy looked inside to see who was driving he saw a guy with a bad haircut wearing a Dallas Cowboy jacket.
