Sights, Smells, and Places to Rest our Heads

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Yesterday morning I woke up from a dream in which Marc and I were at one of the B&Bs from our trip. We were eating, like we did on our trip, our full English breakfast (consisting of egg, sausage, bacon, baked beans, sauteed mushrooms, toast, and cooked tomato — that’s toMAHto, not toMAYto, of course). [...]

Honeymoon Memories Part 1

Monday, July 5th, 2010

The other morning I woke up from a dream that left me a little frazzled for the rest of the day. In the dream, it was the day Marc and I were to fly to England but we didn’t have anything ready. (Our friend’s daughter was also an Olympic swimmer, but that wasn’t really the [...]

The Wind Beneath Our Dreams

Monday, May 17th, 2010

This morning Luke and I were at the table eating our toast and I asked him if he had had dreams last night. Usually his answer to that question is one word: “I dreamded Superman” or “I dreamded Batman”. No explanation. Just the superhero name. Today his answer was “I dreamded flying”. (Yes, one of [...]

One Dream

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Just to give you a little glimpse into my head. Here are the events of one dream I had this morning, right before Madeline woke me up at 6am (!!) telling me she was dressed for school and wondering if it was time to get up. (I think it’s time we put a curtain over [...]

Back to reality

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

I was just standing around, shooting the breeze with Meryl Streep, waiting to get into the cafe where we and the rest of the movie crew were going to have lunch. We sat at our tables and I got up to get a drink. Then I saw the cream-filled donuts… But had the self-restraint to [...]

“Stealing” a Kiss

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

I have to be very quiet tonight because Marc has a paper due tomorrow and the library isn’t open on Sundays. He gave me a choice between Steve Bell’s Feast of Seasons and the new Swell Season cd to put on while we’re being quiet together. I told him I wanted Charlie Brown Christmas. He’d [...]

Remembering 1: Dreams

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Early Sunday morning I woke up crying from a dream. I was so sad and so emotional, I almost woke Marc up to put his arm around me (which I always do when I have nightmares). Eventually I fell back asleep, but not after crying for quite a while and going over the dream in [...]

Random snippets from this morning’s dreams.

Friday, May 29th, 2009

And yes, I did write them on a scrap paper when Luke got up to pee at 6:30am .
Apparently I was so moved by a particular episode of Newhart that I kissed George Utley gently on the lips. (Not sure how he ended up in my parents’ family room but there he was.) And then [...]

Runaway Dreams

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

I’m sitting here waiting for Luke’s dvd choice is finished, so I can put on Olivia’s choice. And, yes, the amount of tv the kids are watching is directly proportionate to how sick we all still are. Luke has thrown up at least once a day since Friday. (ugh…) So the tv goes on just [...]

Failures & Forgiveness

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

I had quite the dream last night. Okay, I have strange, extremely detailed dreams every night (and you should all be glad that you don’t get the play by play every morning over your coffee and muffin), but the one from last night needs to be shared, I think.
It started off with a giant meteorite [...]
