Laurenburg

When I was in fifth grade my class went on a trip to Colonial Williamsburg. For one of our projects we had to create a town. My dad and I created a magical world of popsicle sticks that looked more like the O.K. Coral than 1776. Let's be honest, my dad did most of the work. But, when he was done, he dubbed the town Laurenburg and painted the word on a popsicle stick sign. Ah, sweet Laurenburg.

Vivid Dreams. 31 Weeks.

Is it best to start backwards? To add insult to injury of the preceeding six hours two little children attacked me while I was waiting to board an elevator. All the escalators were moving in the opposite direction that I wanted to go. And they moved so fast I was nearly thrown off!
I was engaged to one man, having my baby with another. In the end the baby daddy was gay. Both times I had the dream (there was a pee break in the middle) the guy I was going to marry was just awful. First time I had the dream baby daddy was Evan and it seemed maybe we were married, not sure how I got into the jam with groom #2. The second time it was old flame TS. Or, maybe he was bum #2. Ooh, the first time creepy guy was one of Ev's cartooning associates. The one from "Transylvania"...
I had nothing to wear. My closet from growing up was pretty bare and everything was tiny and fitted so I couldn't get my extra 30 pounds into it.
Manager, come sales rep, PT was my life coach. Well, she was more of a teacher. We were in a classroom, with only a few students. She gave me a big gift then listened to me explain the whole situation - how I was already married and couldn't marry the new, yucky, guy.
I missed my hair appointment with Audrey's stylist, it was $400 but she paid, what was she thinking? When I finally did leave the hotel that's when the kids attacked. Pushing a hand into my face, then one little fist near my stomach. At first the mangy babysitter/aunt held them back, then I had to pull the lift door firmly shut behind me and hold it closed while hitting the button to go up, up, up. Dreadful.
