My family was having some friends over for dinner and each of my friends wanted a different kind of wine. One of our wine bottles was a screw-top while the others were all corks but some of the corked bottles had already been opened. I tried to find a wine that each person would enjoy, but some of the wines I had had chunks of fruits - mostly pineapple - in the bottom and I didn't think that they would like that. Finally I found a kind of wine for each of the people except for Nancy, who wanted me to open up one of those really large bottles of wine (you know, the ones that are in those absolutely huge bottles that I don't think are even meant to be opened... boyfriend has one at his house) but I didn't have a bottle opener that would work on that size of a bottle so I was in our kitchen at my house in NJ fretting about it and then my mom came to the rescue with a small bottle of the same kind of wine as was in the large bottle so that I could pour it.
I remember the next portion of the dream much clearer: I was trying out for softball on UR's field and everyone kept saying how great it was to have me back, but I don't remember where I'd been, why I hadn't been on the team. It was so different than playing ball for real because there was a mix of UR and Pingry people there trying out and some of the Pingry people weren't on the softball team in HS, they were on the other teams I played on (basketball, soccer). I kept going through the "lines" but for the life of me I couldn't field a single ball cleanly, even though I was diving and getting in front of the ball... by the way Anners was hitting the balls at us. Marg was also there, to supervise I think. Of the people trying out, here's who I can remember being there: me, K.Wiz, Jen Z., Amanda P., Anners (hitting the balls at us) and then finally I made a comment to Anners about how it just wasn't the same without J.Mo being there as we were shagging the softballs and putting them into gray plastic shopping carts (I dunno!!)... and then J.Mo shows up! Except - and get ready to laugh - she looked like she had a Weird Al wig on because she had this super thick, curly black hair and I was like "Wow things certainly have changed around here!" Hahaha anyway, so then this shady van - one of those brown ones with blinds on the windows - rolls up on the field and Amanda P. goes behind this little wall that was sticking into left field from the left field fence and she's going to change into some nice clothes. I've just missed another ball even though I dove flat out to try to reach it so I went to the back of the line and asked her where she was going. Apparently she was going to see "Grace" in concert, who I clearly recognized in the dream as a country singer. I was excited for her because I thought that it would be a great show. Then, out of the brown van, this guy climbs down and says that he's there to wait for K.Wiz to be done so that he can take her back to Buffalo. We go through a few more turns with lines and then we were scrimmaging all of a sudden and I was playing left field and I dove for this one ball that landed just inside the left field line in that spot where the left fielder, third baseman and short stop all run to get it but it just drops in. I'm super upset because I just barely missed making a great diving catch but I scramble to my feet, pick it up and there's no cut-off person for me to throw to so I throw it to home - one-hopper - because there was a runner rounding third, but then I just turned around and walked back to my position without watching to see if I made the play at the plate.
