i am talking about Sseko. we here at Sseko eat, breathe and drink Sseko. yes, if Sseko was a baby, i would be that mom. you know, the one with a whole Facebook album devoted to a 60 part series of pictures of baby eating Cheerios. (my mom actually refers to Sseko as her grandbaby. seriously. i think it is cute. and great because it buys me some time before she wants the real deal.)

that being said, i dream about Sseko.

a lot.

not only the daytime dreaming and scheming i usually talk about, but also just good ol' fashion nighttime R.E.M. dreaming. in fact, while in Uganda, Julie and I would wake up a lot of mornings and compare what brilliant (read:trippy) ideas or things we had accomplished in our dreams that night.

i just recently had the BEST Sseko dream I have ever had. since i share a lot of my daytime dreams with you, i thought i would do the same with this sub-conscious gem.

it was pretty simple. but basically, we discovered a rare tortoise-like animal. this animal shed its shell (similar to a hermit crab) and moved into bigger shells as it grew. well, when you took a little hammer and chisel and cracked open the shell of this Sseko creature, inside was a star-like shape comprised of 7 perfectly made, beautiful pairs Ssekos. (the smaller the shell, the smaller the size. just in case you were wondering about the logistics.)

the next scene of the dream involved Julie and I and the seven Sseko girls all dressed in old-school safari gear, hunting for abandoned Sseko turtle shells.

i woke up and told ben, we HAVE to find this animal.

i was disappointed when he informed me that i was, in fact, dreaming.

(but secretly i will keep looking)
