One of those stupid dreams

August 22, 2008 | just for fun

I had one of those stupid dreams last night. You know, the ones where you are somehow unprepared. Whether it’s you left your underwear at home, or don’t know the combination of your lock. Except this was a play and I had a part. I was a pirate.

I held my script, but the guy’s scarf kept covering the words. So they gave me a hand-held monitor, but I couldn’t see it because the lighting was dark. So they moved me away from the guy with the scarf and tried something else, except I forgot who I was in the play so I didn’t know where to begin.

This went on for hours, or maybe it was seconds. All I know is that I continued to say things like, “I’m sorry. I really think I can do this. I don’t know why I can’t find the words. I’m usually much better at things like this.” (more…)

Meme - 9 things that made me smile

When I first heard the word “meme”, I wasn’t sure what that meant. My children call my mom “meemaw”, but I don’t think that’s the same thing.

Someone asked me to “meme” 9 thing that made me smile today. It’s early. 7:55 a.m. So I’ll meme 9 things that made me smile yesterday.

Have you ever done something and instantly knew it was a mistake?

Right before I traveled to She Speaks I thought it would be a great idea to add some highlights. My beautician had cut it but didn’t have time to do anything else. I went home, bummed, until I saw Melissa. She and Josh were visiting.

I ran to Wal Mart and picked up a highlighting kit that promised to be easy and fun. I couldn’t wait to tell Melissa that I had handpicked her to help me with this hair project. And according to the box, there was fun to be had as well.

“Don’t ask me to do this,” she said.

I was surprised at her lack of enthusiasm. Melissa loves hanging out with me (a total blessing), and usually she’s game for a challenge.

“I’m begging you,” she said. “You’ll regret this.” (more…)
