Confessions of a Shattered Mind

I am a dreamer.  I like to pretend I am a guest on Ellen.  Wouldn't you just love to shoot the breeze with her?  I also will in turn pretend that I am the cool talk show host who gets to interview everyone. Wouldn't you love to sit and chat with Harrison Ford?  Of course my daughter would insist on Taylor Lautner. 

I also like to dream that I have written a best selling novel.  And then it becomes a series. And then the series becomes a movie.  And then all of the books are movies.  And I am suddenly the next pop culture icon. 

I also like to go and visit my happy place.  There are no kids there.  There are no dishes.  No laundry.  Just me and my thoughts.  And probably some kind of fruity beverage with an umbrella...sans alcohol.  I go there a lot.  One day I will really go there.
  

Am I alone in my fantasies?

You are most DEFINITELY NOT alone. I dream of a tropical island far, far away quite often. In fact, if you stop by my place today, you can even see who I'd have visiting on my dream getaway. It's my 100th post too, and my day won't be complete without you. ;)

Lourie, I am laughing out loud right now. You my dear blogging buddy are my Louise or Thelma. Can't remember which one is what. I don't want to be the one who gets the money ripped off by Brad Pitt thou.

These talk show hosts, we know we could do their job. Right? Let's see who I would like to interview... Harrison Ford sounds good but he seems a bit shy and difficult to open up sometimes. I think I would chose Henry Cavill, the British guy, to interview. He needs more exposure.
Also, the writing thing, and the Stephenie Meyer thing, yeah...and writing with three young boys, sometimes one on her lap. Made me finally get my act together and write and I wrote two manuscripts after I read that. I have never tried to send a query letter to a literary agent because I'm a chicken.
Thanks for this post, again I laugh and relate to the core.

Ha ha! Awesome post. I can't wait to find that dream place too. Not too hot, not too cold. And quiet!

Writing best-sellers wouldn't be too bad either!

Day dreaming is pretty much how I get through life....always have. this week I've been daydreaming about when my boys go off to college and how although I will miss them, I will move back to the city, buy a fantastic loft, get me a little dog companion. Of course by then I will be a famous published writer and have a wildly handsome boyfriend.

I think you'd make a FINE talk show host, and when I come to visit, you'll need to add a bit of rum to that big ole drink!

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
