LadyGypsy.net – the blog of Kimberly Dowd of New Jersey

Remember when I was blogging my nightly dream so I could jump start this blog? It worked so well that I don’t even have room to discuss the dream anymore. But last night’s was a doozy.

I have a job on a farm¹. It involves raking things and riding cows. So in this dream I ride a cow bareback around a racetrack. I could feel its bristly fur in my fingers and all I had to do to make it go faster was gently tap it with my ankles. That was one fast cow!

Once I was done, I went into my quarters and walked by displays of my jewelry². There was smoke coming out from a sweatshirt. Turns out my iPhone was plugged into the wall and inside the sweatshirt³. I put the fire out and my tooth hurt⁴ so I went to the dentist.

Who was an ex-boyfriend of mine. He told me I looked better now than I did when I was younger and that I was the loveliest person he’s ever known and why did I come back into his life a week before he was getting married?⁵. Me: “Because my tooth hurts.” Then he proceeded to create a filling for my tooth with copper wire.

After the filling I went back to riding my cow.

¹ Yesterday I was talking with a coworker about the local counties’ 4-H fairs.
² I’m considering opening an Etsy shop.
³ My 3GS gets REALLY warm when it charges.
⁴ My teeth have been sensitive lately.
⁵ Obviously, my subconscious is my biggest fan.

Guess what I learned today? When I’m stressed out, I clench my jaw and grind my teeth in my sleep. Awesome. Found out because for the last few days I’ve woken up feeling like I’ve been punched in the jaw.

Dream:
I meet Karina Smirnoff from Dancing with the Stars and admire the new short-short hairdo she’s sporting. I admire it so much that I get my hair chopped in the same style, and end up looking like Ellen DeGeneres. (Lovely funny woman, not the hair for me.)

This is very bad. Family and friends are literally YELLING at me because of my stupid hair. I meet Karina in the street again, and notice her hair is long and curly.

“Hey…what happened to that haircut?” I asked. “It looked so good on you that I had THIS done.”

Karina looks at me in disgust and replies, “It was a wig.”

Fail.

I have a “Cast of Characters” page that I wrote a few years back and it’s horrifically out of date. On it, I give you guys a rundown of who the heck I’m talking about on this site, since I’m huge on nicknames & all.

Here’s the entry for my brother:

My point was proven, by the way, because he never mentioned my “blogging” about that. Ha!

Anyway, I’m happy to announce that John & Kristen are (finally) engaged and will be married sometime next year.

Which means two things:

1) I have GOT to lose at LEAST 35 lbs by some undetermined date. Obamarms optional. Note to self: tapeworm.

2) I have to make pretty cupcakes for Sunday, after which I shall commence with list item 1.

Congratulations, you two!!

Dream:
I’m obsessed with the Jim & Pam wedding on The Office. Obsessed to the point where I’m collecting Pam dolls and am trying to create a replica Pam wedding dress on a mannequin in my living room. I think this was as close to a nightmare as I’ve been in a while.
