More dreams last night. They seem to come in long, cluttered batches now. More than before.

But I got to dream about a Phoenix. That's pretty cool, right? Does anyone else dream about those?

I GOT IT.

Was there ever a doubt that I would?

I'm beginning to see a trend in my dreams, and that trend appears to be Tony Stark Almost Dying. I suppose it's a good thing that I'm not human in them, otherwise I'd likely have suffered several heart attacks. I don't know how Pepper does it, really.

JUNE 28!!! We picked the date! The castle has been reserved. Now we're working on catering, flowers, invitations, accommodations, travel... oh, and Honeymoon! Not sure about that one yet. This is all so exciting! I can't believe it's so close!

Anyone out there that knows how to repair extremely advanced bullet-proof material?

God, it's so HOT. I don't think I've ever had to deal with this kind of HEAT before. I mean, Vegas was hot, but we all had air conditioning. Why don't houses in California have AC? What's wrong with these people?

I've got work to do. Have to figure out how to make some of the things from my Dreams a reality.

[Private to Pepper]
I need you to find me a doctor. Internal medicine specialist.

[Private to Jarvis]
There's a solution. I dreamed about it. Let's just hope we can make it happen before I get sick from this thing.

What happens when Time's men of the year make a bet?

They have to pay up.

Yes, that's right. In all their glory may I present to you Mr Tony Stark...





...and Mr Kevin Flynn

How am I out of Girl Scout cookies? Again? How does this keep happening??

I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Celes. I'm not sure what people really talk about on this thing.

Whoever ate the last of my Girl Scout cookies is fired.

I'm noticing a somewhat upsetting trend the last few days around here. That is, people forgetting their birthdays. And I'm sad to say I'm one of them. In the midst of work and the whole volcano incident, it was the furthest from my mind until I got a card in the mail from my parents this afternoon.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one, at any rate.

So on Valentine's Day I kinda eloped with my fiancee to Vegas. And took my BFF and his girl with us as well.

Pretty sure that sounds like a plot for a just about any Valentine's Day chick flick.

Anyhow, Kevin Flynn is officially off the market and a married man! Who woulda thought... ;)

I will give $1,000 to anyone who brings me a box of chocolate-peanut butter Girl Scout cookies within the hour.

It pains me that this recovery is going to take as long as the doctors said it would. I was hoping to jump right back on my feet, but apparently my body has other things in mind. I was only at my sewing machine for a few minutes before I started having some pretty terrible pain in my collar.

The insurance agency says they'll take care of everything for me. Even litigation, if it comes down to it. But I've talked to a lawyer on my own as well. I want to make sure I've got all my bases covered.

I actually found myself saying "Jarvis," aloud in my lab today. As if I had the computer from my Dreams in there with me.

Well, flying back to good 'ol Cali tomorrow morning. CES was a blast! I got mobbed trying to leave the hall after our presentation on our ENCOM Oasis flexible screen and Intelliwave Motorcycle Helmet. Was also fun hanging out at Weyland and Stark's presentations, nice job guys. It was great hanging out after hours too. Vegas is the place to do it!

It was also nice to spend some time before the show with my fiancée on the anniversary of when we first met two years ago. Love you babe!

If anyone wants a good laugh, check out this article on all the FAIL things at CES. Though I may have bought the Star Trek Pinball machine. Because pinball machines are awesome and I know I'm going to miss my arcade as soon as we board the plane :(

In other news, found a few copies of this at the hotel and even had a few folks asking me to sign 'em. If anyone wants a copy, I still got a box a bunch lying around at home.

OOC: I may have had just a bit too much fun Photoshopping this cover <3

Because I need a head count for my own, personal reasons... raise your hand if you've had a Dream, and if you're acquainted with me in said Dream.

3 days in Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show... Jarvis, you coming with me?

Kevin, I'm assuming you'll be there. David?

It's going to be... interesting.

In order to welcome in the New Year - which will hopefully not be quite as crazy as this one though I'm not holding my breath on that - Stark Industries will be holding a party on New Years eve.

I hope everybody had a lovely Christmas and I look forward to seeing you at the party.

[OOC: Let's pretend this was posted with a little more notice]

Stark! You owe me five grand and an embarrassing gif as promised. Pft, and you said I couldn't hack your precious new firewall.

Kids stuff, man.

They apparently make nail polish especially for dogs.

I think Charlie needs to be a pretty princess. Or maybe red and green for the holidays?

Well this 'truth telling' thing that's going on is certainly enlightening, I'm trying to be an understanding person but some people need to accept that they should just keep quiet and go home.

Are there any Halloween parties this week? I've decided that I am going to give this Halloween thing a try. Why not? I've even decided to dress up in a theme with a few friends. It should be fun.

I think the Stark party last night was great. I mean, would it be anything else. Conveniently I got my suit just in time, but this morning I got something else from the dreams, too. And it's not the first time, obviously, but this one is ... I feel sort of emotional about it. Not sure why.

There's a picture in it - it's a compass - of this woman that I knew in my dreams. If I'm being honest, I'm pretty sure I loved her in my dreams. I've never met her in this world. I don't really even know much about her in the dreams. But looking at this picture brings a lot up. Is that weird?

Also, I'm glad I'm not afflicted with whatever's going on here right now. I'm sorry to everyone else, but I'm glad I still have my voice.

The last couple weeks have been exceptionally busy. I've had weddings and parties, not to mention the every day workings of the bakery. New employees coming in, old employees going out... it's been a bit of a mess.

Merlin and I are just returning from a weekend getaway. It was much needed rest. I feel refreshed. Now it's time to plan our wedding!

Oh, and Pumpkin Cookies are on sale! Mention Valarnet and they're buy one get one free!

Stark Industries will be holding their annual Halloween Costume Party on Saturday 26th October, it will be open to everybody and will be fully catered.

I look forward to seeing you all there.

Hello, all. My name is Ororo Munroe. I'm originally from Portland, but moved here about ten years ago to work for Operation Go Home, which helps homeless youth, with a special focus on LGBTQ kids. I love my job, and genuinely find it rewarding.

In my off time, which isn't much, I'm a food blogger; you can find it online at [web url]. I'm divorced and live in Mission Viejo with my cat. I hope to meet you all eventually.

Last night is officially fired. I'm tired of the dreams, and the nonsense they bring with them. I didn't need to dream that I was bait in a trap for Scott, or that he almost left after Jean died things got bad, or that Logan planted bombs all over our stupid floating island to make us all leave it.

Especially not after the day I had, in addition. I'm going to spend the non-work portion of today eating caramel ice cream with vinegar and hope to God I don't dream again tonight.

In light of the recent events Stark Industries will be making a charitable contribution to Orange County's Disaster Relief Fund. If you have been effected by the events as of late and are in need of monetary help for whatever reason we urge to to contact this organization for help.

I've begun dreaming again. I had one out of order. First Scott dies and gets brought back and Kitty gets shot out into space to save Earth from a giant space bullet, then I dreamed of trapping the world's most powerful/second most powerful telepath in my brain and making him face the things he's done. Then I dreamed that I kissed a recently widowed man on his wife's grave and we started a school together. I don't know why that one makes me feel guilty.

All things being equal, I've had worse dreams.

I know you have all probably been waiting for this news with baited breath, but Tony and I have decided on a date for our next wedding; November 16th. It's going to be a small ceremony here in Orange County at a local church. Invitations will be going out soon, but this wedding will be limited in attendees. We feel having a smaller ceremony will be best for everyone involved considering... everything. We're hoping this will be the last attempt and we won't have to cancel our honeymoon plans again.

I don't think I've ever been ordered to take a vacation before.

At least it wasn't my fault the wedding went up in flames this time? It's going to come out anyway so I might as well tell everyone that the dragons that attacked the cruiseliner last month were mine. They were just trying to protect me, but we've since had a very nice conversation and they understand a little better what they can and can not do. That being said I'll be riding Drogon to Vegas. Maybe we can help instead of hurt this time.

T minus 3 days until the 4th wedding attempt. Wish us luck.

Canes are boring.

Rehabilitation is boring.

I'm so boooooored.

Pepper, I can walk with a cane now. I'm making no promises about it not being needed to walk down the aisle next week, but I promise to wrap it in tulle or something, okay?

Bruce, sweetie. You really need to take better care of Dexter, okay? He's so hungry, and you never let him peer review your papers.

You're hurting his feelings.

So, uh, that dream thing. I guess I'm part of the club now? They're weird, aren't they?

Also, to my clients who are all on here, I'll send you all e-mails in the morning, but just a heads up I'll need to reschedule our appointments. My asthma's flaring up pretty bad, so for the time being I'll be sort of ... Out of commission I guess.

As weeks go, this one doesn't seem to be great. I'd really appreciate it if the universe would stop messing with my friends and family.

Now I'm worried something will happen while my mom's in town, and I'll forever hear about how I tried to kill her by bringing her to a war zone or how I should have planned for a. . . fairy invasion or some nonsense like that.

What is it now? 3-0? I'm actually starting to lose count of how many disastrous wedding attempts Tony and I have had at this point.

I can't believe I'm making another one of these posts

Despite popular opinion The Dragons were NOT a part of the wedding event. We did not hire dragons or a dragon tamer to put on a show during the reception. Believe me, I checked the invoices and our bank accounts. I thought it was another terrible idea of Tony's at first too.

We will, of course, be paying the hospital bills for anyone who was harmed during our attempted wedding. Please, everyone, accept our sincerest apologies for yet another wedding mishap. I'm not sure we will be attempting another one on such a large scale.

You're welcome.

The next wedding is in a week and a half on June 15th. Invitations went out a week or so ago so everyone should have already received their invitations. This Saturday is the last day to RSVP. We need to know how many people are coming so we can get the rooms aboard the cruise ship allotted to everyone.

Believe me when I say Tony and I will completely understand if people who have attending the last couple of weddings don't want to attend this one. There will be no hard feelings if you turn down the invitations, but we thought we would give a big wedding one last go.

Siri says hi.

Eowyn says hi too, but since Siri's doing most the work I thought she deserved a shout out.

Sorry for worrying you all. I'm fine. Pepper? You around?

BRUCE BANNER

How unethical would it be to go to a college and absorb all the things the professors there know about psychology? I'd state my motivation, but it doesn't terribly matter, I think. Not when the question is about what is right, and not what is necessary.

Nate
Do you want to go visit the UC Irvine campus once things have become temporarily stable again?

I just wanted to take a moment to write a formal apology to those of you who attended Tony and I's wedding this weekend. We had no idea something like that would happen again. We'd like to thank those of you who helped us in the ensuing battle I can't believe I just typed that and apologize to those of you who had to evacuate or were injured. Two dead Tony and I will be picking up the hospital bills for all of those who were injured, so please don't worry about money. In the mean time Stark Industries will be sending out the newest Stark Tech Tablet to everyone in attendance at the wedding as both a thank you for attending and an apology for the travesty. This model is not due to be released for another few months. We understand what happened was not our fault, but we still feel we bare some of the responsibility for cleaning up the mess. If there is anything we can do for you or your family please send me an email at pepper@starkindustries.com and I will do my best to accommodate you.

Oh, son of a bitch.

[Backdated to yesterday. Pepper's birthday is May 6th fyi]

I just got an e-mail reminder from Sephora. They're offering me 15% off at their store this week because it was my birthday on Monday. Guess who forgot again?

Although to be perfectly fair I forgot too. I've been so busy with planning this wedding on Saturday it completely slipped my mind. It's the big 4-0 too. It's a big one too.

Hey everyone! So, I'm back from visiting my family. The trip took longer than I expected, so, uh, sorry if I missed anything. Guess you'll have to fill me in.

Also, someone recommended to me that I start branching out and take on private clients. I thought I'd just hand out some business cards, but I was told that's too old fashioned and social media's the way to go (which I guess it right). So if someone out there is looking for a trainer or anything, maybe we can talk? Until I find someone to help me put up a website or something, I'll sort of have to rely on the Net.
