Get Out of Here, Gergen!

I feel like I should document this dream to give Jelly Bean an idea of what's happening right now in our world -- given we've got two weeks to go!

With the repulsive Trump/Access Hollywood/Washington Post video leak on Friday, we have been watching a lot of cable news. MSNBC, CNN, a jaunt over to FOX News (to see if they're even covering the chaos), back to MSNBC, CNN, repeat. My good friend Rose, who's in town this weekend, joined us for several hours of viewing on Saturday. Where, during a CNN stop, she mentioned liking senior political analyst David Gergen.

In other non-related news this week (but important to the dream that I promise to get to), my wedding rings for the first time don't fit! Chubby knuckles (and ankles) have arrived. Not having my wedding rings on is an extremely unsettling feeling.

So here's the dream I had last night...

We are on a strange tropical vacation.

Steve decides that because my wedding rings don't fit, that he shouldn't wear his rings and that we should be on a break -- what???? 

Mind you, I am super pregnant.

So, Steve leaves me to find a skinny tropical Barbie doll.

I am left pregnant in a swimsuit hanging poolside with my two good friends Rose and Tintin...which sounds nice, right? Welp, then an old, disheveled man hits on me...

That man is...David Gergen. But it's not clean-shaved, respectable, suit-wearing David Gergen. It's gross, sweaty, vacation version of David Gergen.

He basically says to me all the horrific things that Trump was caught saying about women. That he wants to grab my 'you know what,' and kiss me and grope and basically have his way with me.

What??!

The best part is, I turn to Rose to be like..what the hell, Rose? And she says....why don't you want to sleep with him? He's very smart. 

What??? 

As bizarre as this is, I remember not wanting to hurt his feelings so I avoided responding to his "moving" on me.

I explained to Rose that if I'm going to give a man a shot, I am at least going to want to go to dinner and have a conversation.

PS (I did search the internet for "David Gergen" and "beach" to see if I could find a more realistic photo. As you probably guessed, nothing showed up).
