About a week ago, I ended up on a spontaneous date with Jim Halpert. Not the actor, John Krasinski, who plays Jim Halpert on The Office, but the character. At least that’s how it was in my dreams. It was actually kind of funny. Funny enough to tell my husband that I dreamt about going on a date with another man!
In my dream we kind of knew each other, had the same friends. I was walking outside at this big shopping/hang out place. It was mostly outdoors, but nicer than a flea market. There was lots to do there and he just happened to show up in the same spot I was standing.
“What are you doing here?” I asked.
He was going to get some dinner, and asked me to join him. So we walked on over to the outdoor Hibachi grill in the shopping area we were in.
We sat down as several Asian ladies came up from behind the box-shaped counter to take drink orders. Diet coke for me! One of the older Asian ladies brought me my drink a few minutes later, but she didn’t seem so nice. Seems like she was half-way scolding me for something…maybe it had to do with my drink? I really couldn’t tell because she really wasn’t making herself clear. Hmmmmmmmm…what’s up with that? I couldn’t figure out what her problem was, but I remember her making me feel a bit uncomfortable! Not good for business! Oh well. Back to Jim.
I found it interesting that he went ahead and ordered for the two of us. And as they cooked up our food, we enjoyed the beautiful weather outside and talked about life and friends. When they brought us our food, I could not believe the amount on my plate. They heaped on noodles and rice and meat. He must have ordered the most expensive thing on the menu! One for each of us! I didn’t even put a dent in it. Awesome! Leftovers! For a week!
As I was still nibbling here and there on my plate, Jim asked to be excused for a minute. He walked off and I took a few more bites. When he came back, he’d obviously changed, so I made a comment about the uniform he was wearing before spooning another fork-full of meat in my mouth. He responded that he had a football game to get too.
Football? I looked at his uniform again as I chewed my food. Oh. my. gosh. I could have swore when I first saw him he was wearing a baseball uniform! Thank God I had food in my mouth before I said anything and made a fool of myself! THAT would have been embarrassing! So yeaaaaaaah. Football. (I wonder why that sport got thrown into my dream? Couldn’t have anything to do with watching Leatherheads, right?)
As we sat there, waiting for our food to get boxed up, I realized that, oh my gosh! I’m pregnant! I sat there as he talked away and tried to process how this happened. Who in the world did I sleep with six months ago to get me pregnant? I looked down at my belly. For the life of me, I could not remember. Then I realized how much I liked Jim. So does that mean I’ve ruined our chances? How will he feel about the fact that I’m pregnant…will he too want to know who it was I was with? I didn’t even know, what was I going to say to that? How was I going to tell him?
And then…relief! Waaaaaaaaaaaait a minute. I have FIVE OTHER CHILDREN! AND??? Jim knows about them! What’s one more kid? Right? Suddenly, I wasn’t too worried about how he’d feel about this pregnancy.
And then I woke up. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah…I think I’ll blame this one on the pregnancy hormones!
That is hysterical! You made my day, I love you.
ha ha… that was hilarious! i loved the part where you suddenly realized that you were 6 months pregnant.
Hah hah hah! Pregnancy dreams are the most wacked out things ever!
hahah, that is the best dream ever! jim is perfect he would never care if you had 6 kids with another man haha!
Your dreams are the best! And that you remember them…and they are with Jim Halpert! Lucky girl!!
