Oprah and eggs

background 1:  I make eggs for breakfast every single day so I'm always buying eggs at the grocery store.  I'm not a freak about the quality of the eggs in the container I buy but I do quickly check to make sure none of them are broken.

background 2:  I watch Oprah maybe once every couple weeks.  I'm not obsessed with her by any means but I do find her show entertaining every once in a while.

My dream:  I had a recipe that I needed 6 eggs for.  The day I was going to the grocery store to get them was Easter so I knew it was possible for the eggs to be gone.  When I got to the egg section there were containers strewn about most of which were only half full of good eggs.  So I decided I would take eggs from different container to make one full container.  I was looking through all of them and only finding cracked or tiny or filthy dirty eggs.  I was there for a very long time trying to gather 6 good eggs.  I wasn't happy with what I got but I really had looked at all of my options and this was the best I was going to be able to do.

When I got in line, Oprah was in front of me.  I HAD to try to make conversation with her so I showed her my pathetic collection of eggs and she was very nice and commiserated with me.  There were two other black women in back of me.  They kept trying to cut in front of me to get near Oprah.  She had already arranged to pay for these ladies' groceries.  She and I continued to chat about a topic that had been on her show recently and how I wasn't happy about it.  

I had put my eggs down on the belt and the cashier rang it up with the other ladies' things.  I said "Oh no!  My eggs were with their stuff!" and Oprah said, "Don't worry about it, I got it."  She and I walked out to the parking lot together chatting the whole way.  Once we got to our cars I realized I didn't have my eggs!!!  Oprah said she'd go back in and see if they were still at the checkout.  She started literally hurdling over cars to get back to the store.  That's all I remember.

The whole dream was very strange.
