I woke up this morning with a mandrake leaf in my mouth. Let me tell you, that is not a fun experience. I'm pretty sure I very nearly died. Aside from the choking hazard, this is vile tasting.

[Lily]
And, according to my dreams, I'm probably going to have to keep it there for at least an entire month. Sorry, luv.

This is the most glorious morning I’ve had in a year and a half.

Woke up to no one’s thoughts or feelings in my head but my own. I can’t sense a single person anywhere. All my powers are gone. Thank fucking god!

I took the day off and I’m going to go back to sleep, then probably play video games the rest of the day.

As much as we have loved the time alone together in the Bahamas, we have missed the girls and our pets so much. We haven't been on the network much while we were on our Honeymoon, since we promised each other we wouldn't. So curious what we're going to be coming back to California to? It's been a while since the OC has decided to ...be the OC and I just want to make sure everything is still standing.

Having Chip stay with me while Amycus and Regulus are away has made me realize I want a dog of my own. Not as large as he is of course - I don’t think I could afford that amount of food each month for one thing. For another I’m fairly certain he’d take up my entire couch forcing me to sit on the floor to watch anything in the living room. And then there’s the matter of just how much he’d shed. No I think a smaller less hairy breed is the way to go for me. Does anyone know of any rescue groups or shelters that specialize in those types of breeds? Possibly one who won’t drive my neighbors absolutely mad with nonstop barking while I”m in class and at work?

I really was expecting to be more nervous this close to the wedding but I just keep feeling even more certain that this time is right. The only bit I am nervous about is being away from our girls for so long. I haven’t spent more than a couple nights in a row away from them since getting custody back. I’m probably going to drive Regulus insane with wanting to check on them at my parents. And if by some miracle I don’t end up driving him nuts doing it I will end up driving mum and dad nuts with it.

[Filtered to Magic Guild]
I’ve been told that I’m not allowed to pop back while we’re away. No matter how messy things get here. If we end up facing another mini-apocalypse though...hopefully one of you can get around to making sure our house is still standing. I’m going to redo my wards before I leave so people breaking in isn’t a concern.

For anyone interested, The Nightcrawler will be showing the Women's World Cup semi-final soccer match between the U.S. and England tomorrow. So if you want, come on down to watch the game with other fans and enjoy some specials on drinks while it's going on. Kick off is at noon Pacific time.

I finally made my way to the grocery store this morning and I saw something I really wish I hadn't seen. Who brings their pet to the store and then leaves it locked in the car with no windows open?! No living creature deserves that.

Why did that git have to show up in my Dreams? I should probably be glad that my Dreams are coming in a more linear fashion than my roommate’s did. I have at least a bit more context for what’s going on in them, and that’s a relief. This time I met another person with magic who actually lived near my family, and he finally told me what I was - a witch. I should probably be glad that my Dreamself finally has a word to explain all of the weirdness happening around her when she gets upset, but here I’m just disappointed. I’d already figured that out. I was hoping to learn something new when I got the next Dream because there was such a gap following the last one.

How many vacations can I get away with taking in one year? I work for myself so I don't have to clear it with a boss and my assistant is more than capable of handling the phones and keeping things on track once the contract is signed and all the vendors have been hired. Doomsayers, dragons, all of that I can handle. An earthquake damaging the buildings around my office before we get to move in and my best friend's boyfriend almost dying ending up in the hospital in the same week is pushing my limits.

If anyone is looking for a new place to eat, you should check out Ortecho's Diner. It's a family owned and has some of the best milkshakes in the county and no, I'm totally not biased. Okay, I'm a little biased, but it's still true.

And if you've been there before then you probably agree with me about the milkshakes.

And for anyone who hasn't already guessed, yes, I'm plugging my parents' diner. I'm Liz Ortecho and have recently moved back after about ten years. It's kind of crazy how much has changed in that time.

Oh I’m so going to have to pay my brother back. And he knows it. He decided to send me a random gift which would generally be a nice thing. I thought so until I opened it. Do you want to know what I found in the box? A giant stuffed kangaroo. He knows how much I hate those damn things. They’re creepy as hell!

Anyone have suggestions of a gift I could send him in return? The more horrific and scarring the better.

No. No. No! I can’t - I hope that - Just when I think I can’t sink any lower in the Dreams, I do. It seems that my return to Hogwarts as an instructor was an even worse idea than I thought it would be here. Not only do I change the course from Defense Against the Dark Arts to the Dark Arts period, I force the students to use spells to torture one another. When I’m not busy using curses on them and torturing them myself of course. What I wouldn’t give for some of that Dreamless Sleep Potion here that we have there.

There's this brilliant sport in my Dreams called Quiddich, where the general gist of it is that you fly around on broomsticks, attempt to dodge the bludgers, score with the quaffle, and attempt to catch the snitch. Dead simple. I'm a Chaser in the dreams - so one of the blokes who attempts to score with the quaffle.

Anyway, I was driving past the park today, and imagine my surprise when I saw a bunch of muggles running around throwing balls at one another with broomsticks between their legs. Apparently there is a muggle version of Quidditch. I had no idea this existed! My Dream self sure didn't know about Quidditch, though I suppose he doesn't spend much time with muggles. Though, you'd think that some of the muggle-borns would have mentioned it. Maybe they were just embarrassed since it doesn't hold a candle to wizard Quidditch.

Still fun though.

Here's a fun fact: Human beings put a man on the moon before we put wheels on luggage.

Another interesting fact: The people in my dreams can literally teleport anywhere in the world, and yet they still think that tying a letter to an owl and sending it off is the most reliable way to deliver the post.

At first I had thought that it was just the technology problems that people have been having, but given how I was so rudely stood up last night, I'm thinking that there might be a less magical cause to the fact that my water is suddenly running green.

I'm pleased to announce that I got my wand from my Dreams! I spent most of the day attempting to do dishes by magic, though I think I ended up with more broken plates than clean ones.

And I accidentally turned my favourite mug into a mouse. I managed to turn it back though. Mostly.

Honestly, the most unrealistic thing about TV and movies is that people pull up to places and find prime parking right in front of where they're going on the first try. Just once I'd like to see them have to circle the block like twelve times for that real estate.

I really do try to keep the people in my office happy and work around their schedules. Unless they come in and tell me they need this weekend off because they have plans with their family and won’t be able to answer their phone if any of our clients need something so I’ll have to take care of it. Which is fine. Except that I told all of them I was out of town this weekend because of plans with my own family. And I told them that weeks ago. So why the hell are there plans more important than mine?

And here I thought all of you were just mad. But I think I've had one of those dreams you're all talking about. I was just a kid, growing up much the same as I've grown up now. Except I'm pretty sure there was a whole lot of magic. My mum and dad used it all the time, and we even had this funny little creature named Pooky who did all our cleaning for us. She wouldn't let me have any biscuits, which was very upsetting, let me tell you, and I just ended up in the pantry and got to eat my fill before mum and dad found me. Surprisingly, they seemed very overjoyed that I had finished them all off.

These are kind of fun, aren't they?

Even in the Dreams I seem to be looking for ways to use magic to keep the party going when I’m drinking, if the gift I woke up to is any indication. Bambi - did you know we apparently used magic together to make a never-emptying flask? I woke up to it on my nightstand this morning and it was full already. You can’t ask me not to check when I wake up to something like that and despite how many sips I’ve taken it hasn’t gone down at all. I even shared some with my client, pouring it in her coffee during our meeting and still full. I haven’t gotten a lot of gifts from the Dreams but this one is definitely in my top 3.

Gerald of course is number one as he lays in my lap, apparently really enjoying getting his back rubbed.

It took awhile but I finally managed to get a good grasp of Norse. Dream!me is clearly fluent, but I've been struggling with it.

I've enjoyed trying to read the original stories about myself, of course. And plenty revolve around the Gods, including my boss. It's been interesting, really.

So the costume party we’re at in my dreams? Is being thrown by some vampire named Bianca and she’s bound by the Laws of Hospitality not to kill any of her invited guests. Which sounds great. In theory. However if we do something that causes our deaths? She’s completely off the hook. And yes - antagonizing her fellow Red Court vampires counts as doing something to cause our deaths. I don’t see this party going well for me.

I've been searching all of the news sites but I cannot find anything about what happened to the raccoon that was climbing that building in Minneapolis today. I know that they were covering the story but I don't know if it's finished or not. Did he get to the roof okay? I won't be able to sleep until I know and I can't just stay up all night because I have to go and finalize the details for our trip next week. And take Antoinette to the groomers before meeting my student for our last lesson until I get back in July.

People who will literally never let go of a grudge: Severus Snape. What did I even ever ACTUALLY do to the guy? I'm getting shady side-eye because of pure association with two friends who will go nameless but not blameless.

What is this even, we haven't seen each other in thirteen years, how can I have ever done anything to warrant this. I mean sure he thinks I'm helping a murderous traitor but

Also I thought I really had these dreams figured out but I guess not. I guess not.

Cause those dreams aren't going to make things even more awkward.

As if the things I've already gotten from my dreams haven't been cool enough, I got the map that my friends and I created. It's a magical map of our school and shows everyone inside it and where they are at that exact moment. Sure, if doesn't show anything, but it's still pretty freakin' cool!

My friends and I, in my dreams, are freakin' awesome! We made a magical map that showed us where everyone in the castle was. How cool is that? I honestly don't know what part of my dreams is more awesome now. I mean, Quidditch, invisibility cloaks and now a magical map. We call it The Marauder's Map cause that's what we call ourselves; The Marauders.

We also enjoy hexing other students. Okay, so that might not be totally awesome, but it's mostly Slytherins. Most of them deserve it, so it's not all bad.

Is it sad that I'm excited for school to start up? I've felt a little aimless without school since I got back, but now that'll be changing. I'm happy to have spent Christmas with my family this year since it was strange last year to spend it with my travel study group. But, I was able to force my boyfriend to put on a tie and properly meet my parents, so point in that department.

On the dream front, not a whole lot. I have to admit dreaming about wizard school is actually exciting and I'm a huge nerd for thinking that. I've been practicing what I've been learning in the classes with my wand and it seems to be working! I managed to levitate some objects the other day before accidentally sending the lamp zooming into the wall (oops). I did turn a match into a needle, but I'm a bit afraid of getting a mouse to turn into a matchbox.

Okay, my dreams are so cool! It's not even funny! We have a sport, called Quidditch, that we play on brooms with three different kinds of balls and I'm on the Gryffindor house team as the Chaser. It is so cool! Now I wish I could play it here.

Then, me, Sirius and Peter can turn into animals. It's called being an Animagus and we're the youngest wizards to ever do it. I become a stag. It's so cool! We did it so Remus wouldn't be alone on the full moon. Why can't I do any of this cool stuff in real life?

And if the first two things aren't cool enough, I woke up to two gifts this two morning. First was my wand. Yes, a real magic wand. I tried using it, but nothing happened, which isn't cool. However, I also got a cloak, but not just any cloak, an invisibility cloak. I put it on and I become invisible. Honest to god invisible!!

I can't wait to see what happens next.
