I had a dream a month ago where I was in the band for a concert and I had to play a French horn solo that I didn't know much at all, and it was all high notes which were hard for me playing on a non-double horn.... I pretty much resigned myself to not being able to hit most of the notes correctly.

IOHornN, in 6th grade - the first time I ever played a song with the full band, I immediatly got lost, burst out laughing, and could not stop laughing....

Frank is me. I suddenly realize I need to go to class, and then I realized I haven't been in like, months, and I really have to go but I'm really scared to, etc...

Yep, that's exactly it. "How did I forgot about this class???!?!??!"

First, the construction of this sentence just made me think, "Last night, I dreamt I went to Manderley again."

"I had the pear dream again."

Need -ma

Could have a book contract. In last stage before getting the go ahead and having contracts signed. Need the -ma

(No, I can't talk about details yet, unfortunately)

t smooches Teppy It's my brilliance, I just can't help it :)

I've had this one too! And it's always the day of a big test or final.

"I had the pear dream again."

"We are all lost."

I have college dreams every now and then, but they're always sort of fun (I had such a freakin' great time intellectually and it was such a pretty campus with lots of great rambly neo-Gothic buildings to explore; when I dream about going back and living there again as my late-30s wiser, better socialized, properly medicated self, it's academic geek heaven).

My big, big anxiety dreams are always about plays -- every time I finish a production, about 6 weeks later I'll have a dream that the play wasn't actually over, it was just on hiatus, and the first performance of the second run is in a few minutes. Every word of the damn thing has completely deserted me, the house is packed, and the rest of the cast is dressing and running lines and giving me puzzled, uneasy, "Please don't betray us all with your incompetence" looks, and I beat myself up endlessly for my stupid forgettery.

Which I suppose is the upside to not having done any shows at all in the past three years, I guess.

Contract-ma in abundance, CaBil! Whatever its other faults, 2006 has definitely gone like gangbusters WRT Buffistas and book contracts.

It seems the store has a fulltime employee whose job it is to swoop up and grab babies out of the shopping carts their deficient parents leave them in on the way up the shopping cart escalator. Wheee! It's a carnival ride! Except for the dozens of signs in several languages warning about its dangers.

Whuh-huh? Mal goes in the cart on the cart escalator at least twice a week. It's less dangerous than having him standing trying to cram his fingers into the treads or getting stomped by the people shoving their way up the escalator. In fact, it's not even vaguely dangerous - the shopping carts are more dangerous on slick marble. And before he could stand on his own, what was I going to do with him?

Do the shopping escalators there require carts with special wheels?

I was sad I didn't have time to stop for food on the way to work but when I got here there was a big box of goodies from mall management. Yay! Cookies for breakfast!

Hellooooooooooo, Bitches!!

From last night:

I directed our Readers Theatre piece. It went well and was fun.

Neat. What was it?

It was a story from the children's book "Bible Stories You Can't Forget No Matter How Hard You Try." It has funny takes of well-known Bible stories. The one we did was "The Three Wise Guys." While it sounds like a Sopranos version of the story, it really isn't. It's cute and fun and we add in some lines that we know will go over well with our liberal, lefty church. People seemed to like it which is always nice.

{{Ginger}} Tooth bits are supposed to stay attached.

All kinds of ~ma for CaBil.

So far at work today, I have gotten here at 11am. Answered a few emails, finished a report, futzed around, gotten coffee. I enjoy this short-timer thing. I do, however, look exceptionally cute today in a new dress [link] and new shoes [link]
