What am I meant to do with this?

So it's my turn to share the happy news - Izzy and I are going to be expanding Cheshire Confectionaries to include catering services through our website. I know from past experience that it'll make keeping track of things a lot easier for me at least. Plus Cheshire can't mess with the orders that way since they'll be stored on the computer and not just written down somewhere.

I saw what you told Veronica on her post. I am so sorry.

Who wants to get blackout drunk a few drinks with me?

Bad timing to have gone sober. I could really use a drink about now.

I was watching the muppets this morning and had the most bizarre thought.

But Olaf (the talking snowman I created in my Dreams) and Gonzo would get along great! They have a similar view on life. Olaf is kind of a philosopher snowman.

Well at least I have one actual friend in my Dreams even without my mother's support for my desires though. Mary Ann, my confidante there and one of the maids, helped me get to my room and out of my flour covered dress without running into my mother since we both know that she'll fly into a rage if she sees me that way. While getting me ready she and I get to share some of the gossip that we've overheard around the house and around the town too - like that the King is planning to introduce his new jester at the ball tonight. And that there's going to be an empty storefront on Main by the end of that month which will be perfect for our pastry shop.

DreamMe knows that I'll have to act quickly to get the store before someone else and before Mother finds out what I'm up too since no heir of Rock Turtle Cove has ever owned or run a business and she's not intending for me to be the first. Since the theme of the party is black and white, I'd planned on a simple sort of white ball gown - which honestly I fell in love with here when I woke up to my wardrobe having crossed over - but Mother shows up at my room and insists that I wear her choice, a low cut red dress that is too just a little too small and the corset has to be cinched far too tight for my comfort in order for me to wear it. My mother's response when I tell her I can't breathe because of how tight it is "You shouldn't take seconds on desserts and you'll just have to go without dinner tonight". I just know that when the next Dream hits if it's that party it's going to be utter hell for me.

Mom got very sick, so I went to look over her care and tried hard to not be her doctor. However, she pulled through so that's blessing and now I'm finally back home.

Threw myself back into work and being with my family.

I haven't had a chance to check in with my friends.

I hope you are all doing well and we should get together soon!

I really wish I was older so I could drink, because these dreams are driving me to the edge.

Been a while since I had a dream. Tried to enter my dojo in a karate tournament, but because of the shady things that went down in the 1980s,m Cobra Kai was under a lifetime ban. I went to the committee meeting to try and get that over turned. Of course my teenage nemesis was on the committee. He tried his damnedest to make the others vote against me, but I told them how my Cobra Kai is different, it's a place where kids can go to feel like they belong. In the end, they voted to allow Cobra Kai to enter the tournament, so I signed us up on the spot. I just hope these kids can get their act together before the big day.

All right everyone. Meet Spock.

Last night's dream started off sweet and ended on a depressing reminder. Anyone want to eat ice cream and watch silly movies with me?

You swear you are still being careful? I can't lose you too.

It's March, March means being able to find mint chocolate things everywhere. I'm specifically looking at you, McDonalds. I'm not sure about all of them, but the one closest to us doesn't have the shamrock shake available. I get it's a limited item, but it's just the beginning of the month.

Some peope have a dog that barks whenever anyone comes near the door. I have a giant rabbit that thinks the pizza delivery guy is there for her and thumps her feet at us for not letting her out to go visit him. I guess that's preferable to barking at him, but still.

So this is the Valar net. Cool. I'm Gale. Lived in the OC my whole life. I own the Peppy Pie pizza joint, so there's that. I really don't know what else to say. Uh. I live with two dogs, two cats, all rescues who are living their best life now. Am I supposed to say I like long walks on the beach, and preferably after dark? I don't know. One of my customers suggested I check out the network, so here I am. I'm really not sure what to say, or whatever. So, hi, I guess?

Trying to change careers is stressful, but also thrilling. I really think moving out here was for the best. I have my family and now I have a chance at a new life.

How are you all doing? Making any big changes too? BTW, my invitation to dinner is still open to anyone who wants a home-cooked meal. It gets a little lon--

I keep hoping that common sense will prevail but then someone uses Gorilla Glue in their hair and is then surprised at how big of a mistake it was.

I do not have the same hair care needs, however, I would imagine that nobody is keeping Gorilla Glue near their hair products. If you do, you should consider moving it.

Made comfort food..for once didn't just rely on door dash so I guess that's one point in my direction for effort? A for Effort in the attempts at being a functioning human being? Cajun rice..kind of a garbage bag of things but decent all the same.

Got a minute?

So Barry, something you want to tell me?

“I lied to you/kept this major thing from you to protect you” will always be an insulting excuse and not based in actuality. Especially if the person being lied to is still pulled into the middle of the danger or whatever it is they’re supposedly being protected from.

Ever just get in a rut and can't get out? Don't know what to do about it but there it is. That's currently me.

My mother's cookbook turned up! Who is coming to dinner?

If anyone sees Alaric Saltzman today, wish him a happy birthday!

Lat night's dream showed me how my dream persona ended up getting involved in Karate. Saw some older kids go in the Cobra Kai dojo, and I went home and told my mom and even though my step dad was a royal jerk, he paid for me to join. And then adult me was teaching my own students, treating them the same way Syd treated me. It was something of an awakening, but I have a feeling dream me isn't going to change his ways. He's an ass, plain and simple.

Got the dog checked out at the vet. He's deaf and blind, and pretty old, but he's reasonably healthy.

Just need a name for him now. Didn't stick around at my dream dad's place long enough to ask what the pup's name was.

I haven't had a new dream in forever. No dreams in awhile actually. It's nice and I should not be complaining. But I kind of want the gain access to the pieces I am missing instead of hearing it second hand from everyone else. I didn't think I'd be wanting to know more anytime soon.

Dreams on repeat seems to be a thing. I've seen a few people now questioning the meaning. Has anyone found there to be any? Rhyme or reason or patterns? Or just random?

I am so ready for a break from classes already 😩

I did get a completed Lego Death Star arrive from my dreams, though. Is it weird to miss a friendship you’ve discovered in the dreams but never had in real life?

So the cutest thing happened today. I decided to stop for coffee on the way to work, treat myself. A family was in line in front of me and the little girl looks at me than aggressive declares as she points at me to "Don't stop smiling today."

I replied "Yes, ma'am!"

She replied with a growl "Good!" and than her dad turned her around, telling her she wasn't suppose to speak with strangers and her mom looked over and mouthed "sorry,' I shook my head at the apologize, "It's fine," I mouth back and we both smiled at each other.


Don't stop smiling today!

My kid just told me at breakfast today that she wished she could see Santa's naughty list. I asked her if she's worried that she's on it because of the epic tantrum she threw at dinner last night.

She said no. She wants to see who she can have the most fun with.

I think I'm in trouble.

My baby book showed up out of nowhere! I can't remember the last time I saw this old thing. Is it terribly selfish to wish for Peter's to show? I know I had it around somewhere...I want to play embarrassing aunt and post some pictures of him.

It's odd showing up at work and realizing your partner is no longer your partner.

At least he texted me with the heads up.

Not sure if this means I've going undercover soon. Working in Dad's unit spoiled me, I knew what he was thinking. Here I'm just as blind as everyone else.

Anyone have any clue if you can strangle an invisible cat? The little monster completely wrecked a cake I'd spent all day working on minutes before the client was picking it up. The sugar spires alone took me hours

I finally had one of those dreams. I admit I feel dull compared to most of you. I just got snippets of childhood. You know, first day of kindergarten, my parents teaching me to ride a book and cook, and even my first day of high school. It was like my brain leaped from one spot to another as if on a projector. Gosh, I am showing my age with that projector comment, aren't I?

I guess I should count myself lucky.

Looks like in the dreams I've been researching the town for years. Missing family heirlooms is definitely bad. I agree with my dream counterpart on that one.


That can't mean that she's dead here too. Can it? Or that it was his doing?

I just got a thank you gift from the local Chinese place for my continued support..apparently paying off my tab helped put the owners kid through college. Not sure if that's good or bad.

What do you get for the man who has everything?

Even his dreams keep leaving him excellent items and I'm over here like socks?


The joys of being married to Captain America, I guess.

Hi, this isn't anything to do with dreams, just a call for help:

I work at a charity called Help the Homeless, we run a number of soup kitchens and food banks throughout Orange County. This Christmas lots of people are going to be spending the festive day alone and out on the street. We're going to be doing two things to bring Christmas to them and we need your help.

Firstly we'd like to give them some presents, so if you've got something that you'd like to give away then please wrap it up and deliver it to one of our kitchens, it'll help make someone's day.

Secondly we could always use donated food to make Christmas meals that extra bit special. Refrigerated items can be dropped off at our kitchens, for everything else we also have some bins at local Walmart stores near the registers.

Lastly, if any of you have any spare time then we're always looking for volunteers. There's no fixed hours or anything, just as you can when you can!

So, hypothetically speaking....

Is it considered cheating to use my SoulSelf to shred/grate potatoes for latkes to cut down on prep work?

I don't know where he came from, but looks like there's a dog suddenly in our home. He's an adorable little guy. Already has run of the place too.

So who is gonna watch that Colonel Sanders Lifetime movie on Sunday?

Is this a bad time to admit I love The Year Without a Santa Claus? I just saw Heat Miser and Snow Miser arguing. It took me a minute to realize they weren't actors! This place is insane. Is everyone alright?

For those of you that don't know me, I'm Kate Kane. Better to get introductions out of the way, I'm sure. Just returned to the OC from Italy.

Speaking of, if those that do know me can't get a hold of me here on the network, then they can get a hold of me at my Wayne Enterprises office.

BB8 is loving the snow. He rolls back and forth, making tracks in the yard. I was worried be might rust if he got wet, but I feel whoever makes droids, in my dreams, probably takes that stuff into account when they make them so he's probably rust proof. Plus we've been to so many different planets with so many different climates, in the dreams, and he's never had a problem, so I'm betting a little snow won't hurt.

Speaking of my dreams, I've recently gotten both, my flight helmet and the outfit I've been wearing in my recent dreams. I've got to say, I love getting stuff from my dreams. I mean, I've gotten some pretty awesome things, so how could I not love it?

It's snowing...of course it's snowing. Because Orange County Things.

It's December!!! This year is almost over, thank goodness.

My mom left yesterday and I have to say that introducing her to Elsa went quite well :D She also helped me get my place all decorated up for the holidays.

Now I just need to go brave some stores and buy some presents.

Oops, I sorta forgot about this place! Um. Hi, Barry Allen. Chronically late to everything. Side note; only use the excuse got stuck in traffic if you know, you drive a car.

All Mare keeps talking about is how she wants Turkey and the Giant Turkey to come and bring us all our Turkey Dinner.

She also is insistent that after Thanksgiving we go see Santa.


Can she stay this little and sweet forever?

Just a friendly reminder that if you don't know how to properly deep fry a turkey, don't. Or if you decide to try, make sure your fire extinguishers are charged.

Everyone in my dreams is extremely nosy. Especially my fan club. I still don't understand why I have a fan club. They call themselves #teamsarawatswives and they're very interested in why I've been hanging around with Tine. Like I can't have friends or something. No one asks why I hang around with Boss and Man.

I'm glad that I don't have to deal with anything like that in real life. I'd go crazy if I constantly had girls following me around and screaming when they saw me.

So now that I'm safely back home and don't have to drive anywhere for a couple days so I can just relax - I have awesome news! I just signed a contract to be the face for one of my favorite brands! And we've finished filming on my movie so long as we don't have to do any reshoots which - THANK GOD! I love my costars but it'll be nice to have one less thing to keep me from sleeping in. And maybe in the Spring I can register for more semester hours to get back on track for graduating on time with Mina.

Bad news though - I won't be able to use Pinterest to save pictures on for people to search or Etsy to buy accessories for my new outfits since their companies have decided to ban Lolita fashion on their platforms because it 'exploits and sexualizes children'. How does dressing like a fluffy pastel cupcake in outfits that cost hundreds of dollars and are designed to be bought and worn by adults sexualize a child? It's scandalous in Lolita fashion to show your shoulders and knees.

And yes before anyone points it out to me - I'm aware of the novel.
