First of all, happy birthday to the delightful thisisbone!

Second, I had very sweet SGA dreams.

It was Christmas time and I was hanging out with the SGA team. Teyla and John were being mellow and affectionate and Ronon and Teyla were being brother/sister adorable with teasing and hitting and Rodney and Ronon were talking about gifts and how expensive they were. We were leaving the house, and I was driving us to the airport in my old Nissan Sentra, ZuZu Hulahee, and no, I don’t know how they all fit in it, but before we got in the car, I was telling Ronon, ‘It doesn’t matter how much Christmas presents cost. Hello, remember that my favorite gift of all time was a giant roll of bubble wrap stolen from a construction site!’ [TRUE STORY!] And Ronon rolled his eyes and said, ‘I know. I’ve heard that story 50 times.' And I was sort of hurt, but I couldn’t argue that it wasn’t true, and then I saw that Ronon had a square of bubble wrap in his hand, the bubble so big it was like an overturned salad bowl, and he said, 'Does it have to be stolen? Because Rodney wouldn’t let me.' ♥!!

Then I drove us to the airport in the snow, but we skidding into a little bank and then I realized I didn’t have directions to the airport, and I figured we’d have to drive back to the house, but debra_tabor's Marvelous Mom was there, on the curb, in the dead of night in the snow, and when I asked if she knew how to get to the airport, she wrote the directions down for turn by turn, including mileage. Then I woke up, but it was only five, so I went back to sleep and the dream continued into a whole SGA/SG1 Upgrades subplot where Sam and Ronon had slipped away together to canoodle in a cozy little bed and breakfast, where a grandmotherly woman gave them the honeymoon suite and was charmed by them and they made love all morning in the sunny winter daylight and Ronon was teasing and adorable and they rolled around under the blankets and laughed a lot. Then Rodney and John showed up but Sam heard them coming and chucked Ronon out of bed. Using his superspeed he was up, dressed and across the street before the guys knew he was there. John and Rodney had been looking for her and Ronon because a senator needed protecting with their supah-skills. Rodney was eating Sam’s roomservice breakfast and saying, 'The quarterback would HATE that,' with his mouth totally full and then he noticed Ronon outside, standing across the street. He went outside and asked, 'Where have you been, we’ve been looking all over for you, what are you doing here?' And Ronon lied and said he’d followed them, all the while looking pretty pissed and chucking rocks across the street towards the bed and breakfast, very put out to be shoved out of bed and called into work when he could have been making out with Sam.
