Oscar Mania!

I have Oscar mania, and I can't wait for tonight's award ceremonies!

Like most performing hopefuls, I've long-envisioned attending the illustrious event. To take it one step further, I've imagined accepting my statue, too.

Yeah, right?! Ha! We can always dream though...

In the meantime, I'll stick with just being an extra, but tomorrow's 5:30 am call-time is early. So, here's hoping Hathaway and Franco don't run over. I need my beauty rest!

PS - Look for my "nosey neighbor" (think Gladys Kravitz) window-scene next Sunday, March 6 at 9 pm on Lifetime's Army Wives.

PPS - Fingers-crossed the camera doesn't really add 10 pounds!

It's a GRAY Day!

It's a GRAY day to dream, and I have one to share...

I want, for a period of my life, whether it's a week or ten, to live in the United Kingdom.  Preferably, in the countryside.  Maybe on a hill? 

To write, of course.

Again, I realize its impracticality, seeing as I have a young family of men, but that's no excuse for me not to put it out there.  To fear.

It could happen! 

For one, my husband loves Guinness and golf and football, too!

"What's the pull?" you ask.

I'm not really sure...

From the cliffs of Dover to the windy reaches of St. Andrews, I've traveled, and there's just something about the place I love.

Maybe it goes back to the romantic girl in me, and I'm fantasizing about Cathy and Heathcliff, and heather on the moors.

Or perhaps, it's the lure and magic of a hidden garden described so perfect on the pages of Burnett's classic.

Who knows?

I could go on, and say it's the sad spirit of Tess, the sass of Miss Bennett, or ol' plain Jane Eyre, but I'm not certain?

Whatever it is, I connect. 

My dreaming mind comes to life when the skies are GRAY.

PS - Have a GRAY weekend!

Sweet Dreams

I'm inspired by candy.  ROCK candy, no less.  I love the colors, the crunch, the taste.  This talk of confections leads me to a dream...

I want, in my lifetime, to throw a PARTY in a candy store!  And, what a SWEET one it'll be!  I envision cocktails rimmed with sugar treats, cotton candy by the pound, and frocks in shades of Wonka hues.

In Candyland...

We'll mingle with some Nerds, and then sit for a feast of saccharine delights.  Candles glowing.  Bottles popping.  Flowers in our hair.  We'll celebrate 'til our tummies hurt.  'Til our teeth ache, gloriously!

It all seems silly, right?  But, that's the point just there.  SILLY fun!  While I'm at it, I think I'll watch this classic to up the candy ante...

Oh, and before I forget, sweet dreams!  Thanks for reading mine!

Bears Go Barefoot!

The dreary weather's letting up, and the sun's been shining.  Such BLISS after a long cold spell.

Needless to say, we took a family trip to the local mini-zoo yesterday, and Aksel saw a BEAR.  I can't say the look of wonderment (mentioned here) overtook him, but nonetheless, it was cool!

Check out some highlights from our bear-y great adventure...

By the way, bears go barefoot.  Ya like the pun?  Now, the list...

1. Lions
2. Tigers
3. Bears

LIONS and Tigers and BIRDS.

I'm a dreamer, and romantic.  I'd be LION if I said otherwise.  So, I look to share, over the course of this next week, a few dreams...

For one, I want to take Aksel on an African safari. 


The cutest lion, Cal.

I want the look of wonderment to twinkle in his eyes, as he watches wild animals run free.  Namely, lions and tigers and bears. 

Maybe not bears, but you catch my drift.

Wait.  I've got it! 

I want the look of wonderment to twinkle in his eyes, as he watches wild animals run/fly free.  Namely, lions and tigers and BIRDS.



Outbursts aside, I'm wanderlust.  And to my credit, I've traveled a fair amount for my years.  I don't wish to stop though.  I want more!

I want to sail the high seas, and teach my child to be compassionate of those less fortunate, to form opinions about cultures different from his own, and lastly, to appreciate everything that's open to him in this life.  Basically, I want Aksel to care.

A long deep sight later...

In all reality, I'll most likely settle on an outing to the zoo, or better yet, Disney World.  But a dreams a dream, and it's worth keeping. 

So, we'll see what happens.
