Not a Sweet Dream or a Beautiful Nightmare

I'm not really a fan of that song, but I couldn't think of a better title, so it won.

Anyway...

I had a crazy weird dream last night. I'm getting ready for work, and the door bell rings. I find Ted has beaten me to the door...apparently he was not going to work that day because usually he is gone before I'm even awake. He has the door opened and he's chatting with someone. I walk over and who is at the door? Daniel. Of course, I'm rude because how else are you supposed to respond when your ex drops by unexpectedly on a weekday morning. Conversation:

Me: "Oh shit what the hell do you want?"
Daniel: "Wow rude much?"
Me: "Oh excuse me. Hello Daniel how can I help you this fine morning? Better?"
Daniel: "Yes thank you. I was just chatting with Ted here to see if you wanted to look through the furniture Joey is giving us in case you wanted something."
Me: "Fine. I need book cases."
Ted: "Well I guess that's a yes."

We then walk over to Joey's yard, which is covered in random pieces of old furniture. Standing with said furniture is Daniel's wife Lauren, who I have never met. Conversation:

Me: "Hi there. How's it going" (Really, as if I'm friends with her or something)
Lauren: "Hi! We're really good! Joey's being so nice to give us all his old furniture since he is buying new!" (Um, they don't know Joey in reality)
Me: "Oh how wonderful!"

*Awkward pause between the four of us*

Me: "So, which book cases do you not want?"
Daniel: "Those over there" and he points to some crappy small book cases that are coated in a bad white paint.
Me: "What happened to those?"
Lauren: "Oh I wanted to see what they would look like white so I threw a quick coat on them. I don't like them."
Me: "Yeah I'm not a fan."

*Another awkward silence as it is hitting me I've made out with two of the three people I'm speaking to.*

Daniel: "Well, if you don't want them I guess we'll go."
Ted: "Ok thanks for the offer"

Then I wake up. It is official: I've been obsessing over home renovations and improvements for too long, and I've been watching far too much Desperate Housewives episodes. They are all friendly with their exes when they randomly drop into their lives, so that has to be the reason that Daniel suddenly popped up. Yuck.
