I’m excited to announce that today is the beginning of the Poppytalk Handmade Love Transforms showcase. I added a banner over to the right, so please check it out.
I’m also happy to share that my friends Tom and Nikki won the essay contest about whose love rocks. I’d like to thank everyone who followed the link here and cast their vote to make that possible.
One more announcement: Sweetcheese is having a contest/giveaway on her blog. You could go over there and check out the awesome stuff she will send you, or um, I mean me, when I win. Um, I really want to win :)
One last thing. When I was napping yesterday I had this dream and when I woke up I wanted to remember to mention it for my blog entry about sleeping and dreaming, but then of course I forgot. It wasn’t until I went back to sleep that I remembered it. It wasn’t anything all that special, but I just thought it was awesome while I was dreaming it and funny when I woke up. I dreamt that I lived in a different house and we had a HUGE fish tank in our living room. Imagine a standard 10 gallon tank but only hundreds of times bigger, probably about 10 feet tall. Funny enough, even though it was so big, it didn’t take up too much room. I got the idea to climb in or maybe I fell in and as I was climbing back out I grabbed the edge and decided to kick my legs and splash. Then I realized how cool it would be to swim around in the tank. I couldn’t wait to tell matt and have him join me so we could swim around in the tank and explore it. Before I had a chance to track him down the buffalos (yes, there were buffalos in the house) came to the edge of the aquarium to drink (and yes, they were just regular sized buffalo, but they could drink over the edge of a 10 foot tall aquarium) and like a cheap plastic kids pool, if you bend the edges they fold in or out and all the water in this HUGE aquarium came spilling out into our home. Once again, how a rigid flat glass tanks edges could bend is beyond me, but it happened. I started freaking out that all the water was in the house, but even though I was worried about the flood, I was still excited about the possiblity of swimming in an aquarium in my home. Hmmm, I wonder what a dream interpretation would say about this.
Okay, I know I said that was the last thing, but just one more quickie. IT’S SNOWING! Snowing like crazy. Since last Friday we’ve probably had about 12 inches or so and it’s supposed to continue snowing (blizzard warning or watch) style till early tomorrow afternoon. Matt told me how he heard so many people at his work already saying they weren’t going to be able to make it into work tomorrow. I think that is the most hilarious thing, when people start talking about “THE SNOW!” “THE SNOW!” and then even if we only get 1 or 2 inches, no one will show up to work the next day because they already made up their mind the day before that they would have a snow day the next day. I’m not one of those people at all, but it’s still fun for me because when you go into work on those days, it still feels like a special snow day because no one else is there.
Okay, I’m done.
Haha! The buffaloes are my favorite part!
(And thanks for the mention–I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.)
I am so excited for you and your Poppytalk showcase. I love that site : she has great taste as eviddenced by choosing you to be in the showcase.
Your dream is great! I wish I could remember all of my dreams in such vivid detail. I love how enthusiastic you were about swimming even though there was a threat of buffalos and spillage. I think that would be my interpretation: even under duress your enthusiasm never wains.
Also: ditto the snow reaction here. People really do freak out, but there is such a buzz in the air if you actually do venture out. I almost feel giddy.
Okay: did mean to leave this much, but all of these things needed to be said. So, I will move onto another post now.
