Smattering
~ This morning G and I are sneaking off to Brimfield. It's a clear cool September day and we're finally (after a decade of trying) going to check out all the antique offerings and spend the day walking around in the sunshine.
~ Never mind that yesterday I agreed to a very ambitious set of deadlines for this semester related to my dissertation prep and other sundry things. I think it will inspire a best-selling children's book entitled "If You Give a Gal a Deadline." I'm sure antique fairs will figure prominently.
~Yesterday my friend emailed me about her teenage daughter's dream. According to my friend it was a "horrible nightmare which involved some festering sores--when she told us (her parents), we appeared to be indifferent. But she said you were nearby and gave her a cookie. Thanks for helping out when we clearly were falling down on the nurturing job!" So in spite of my subpar performance in real life, I am rocking it in someone's dreams. I'll take it. In fact, it made my day.
~ On the other hand, I just realized I spaced my posting day at Segullah yesterday. Oy. Quick, someone dream about me being responsible and on top of things! Or at least giving out cookies.

I love a good antique show. I rarely buy anything but when I do it is such fun! I hope you have a fabulous day with your handsome husband.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Have a wonderful time. Brimfield has been on our list *for.ev.er.*
You couldn't have asked for better weather.
Enjoy.
Annie - you made an appearance in my dreams last night, too! You made a surprise visit to my house (which, as in most dreams, was at once my house and not my house), eager to talk about a book you had read. The book involved a Mormon man who invented insoles for running shoes, but who also had researched some little-known Hollywood actress. Fascinating in the dream - not so much when I read back what I'm trying to describe! Anyway, it was a very nice dream, so there are good vibes either coming from you or traveling to you!
jealous.
about your daytrip and your ambition.
(not your heavy deadlines...)
enjoy!!

I have never been to Brimfield. I want to hear all about it and one of these times I'm going to go!
i bought my FOOTLOOSE cassette at brimfield back in 19something-something. two lessons learned in hindsight from that experience:
1. musical piracy was alive and well, even before the digital age
2. i clearly had zero appreciation for fine antiques, as the cassette was all i came away with.
here's to hoping you acquire a better find!
ah, I'm the same way. I have a good day and commit myself to all kinds of deadlines.
We forgive you (but still miss your brilliance) over at Segullah. :)
