the cranberries

eliz and i were in a car, a limo maybe, and we were headed to see the cranberries. i got out of the car to use a public restroom, eliz waited in the car. while reaching for the paper-towel dispenser to dry my hands i saw caroline. what was she doing in seattle? i thought maybe she was visiting her ex, but that seemed unlikely. she was somewhat vague, presumably she had not expected to run into me and have to explain her presence.

i invited caroline to come see the cranberries, too, but she seemed disinterested. i did not tell her that eliz was going, because i thought then she'd certainly go just to hang out with eliz-but i wanted caroline to sincerely want to go and hang out with me. (i obviously had some issues in this dream that i needed to work out.)

i don't know what caroline decided, but when i spoke to eliz again and mentioned the cranberries she responded, "what? we're going to see the cranberries?"

where the hell else did she think we were headed? sheesh.

(i would like to note that this is one of my first dreams about eliz that did not involve a library or librarianship directly. it did involve several librarians, but that's just a coincidence, i'm sure.)
