so last night...
i was driving down a lane with trees and fields and all sorts of prettiness. finally i got to a building that looked campish; a big one-floor building with a foyer and one big open room with a concrete floor and whitewashed walls. it also had a basement room with desks (the connected to chairs kind). that was where i headed. for my acting lessons apparently. there were only a few of us in that class and after awhile the teacher and most of the students left; it was just me and some guy in a flannel shirt and a jacket. he volunteered to help me out in this class - we could be study buddies or something. and i thought, 'um...okay. that's cool. you're matthew lewis.' because apparently after eight harry potters, some tv, and some theater work, he still thought he should take acting lessons.
next thing i knew i was upstairs, which now had hardwood floors and red velvet draped on the walls and toys scattered everywhere. there were a bunch of kids playing (the boys very boy-ly and the girls very girl-ly) and a couple grown-ups from my church (except i only actually recognized one of them). one girl stood up, looking like she was going to be the boss of the girls who were pretending they were ballerinas (not that there's ever a boss of course - just a girl who says "how 'bout?"). suddenly i remembered that i had a skirt (which kind of looked more like a slip) that had 1 1/2" coins (that looked like yogurt lids) all over it that made noise when you spun that would probably fit this girl. i brought it over to her and realized it was honor, who put it on right then over the skirt she was wearing. she then proceeded to lead all the other little girls in what was obviously a pre-choreographed routine.
when the girls were done, i had to leave, at which point honormommy said she didn't think it was fair that i gave something to only one of her children and that she wished i hadn't given the skirt/slip thing to honor. i told her that the other kids understood that the next time i saw them i would bring something to a different one, and in the meantime they could have fun speculating which one it might be and what he or she might get.
i then headed out to my car to go to church for some event. one of my friends asked if i could give her a ride to save gas. i said yes, but suddenly it escalated to 5 grown-ups scrunched in the front seat and honormommy's four children in the backseat. i told the other grown-ups that this was absolutely ridiculous and we should at least split up the grown-ups and kids, but for pete's sake why didn't someone else just drive, too. they would hear none of that.
nor would i hear any more of that cuz then i woke up all annoyed.

normally i wouldn't have posted all that in the midst of all these other long posts, but i thought honormommy would appreciate it :)
Yes, I was pleasantly surprised! Although, not so pleasantly because you woke up annoyed in a dream I was in. Also, I must say that dream HM is not much like real life HM because I would never say it wasn't fair that you gave Honor something and no one else. In fact, I often discourage aunts from trying to "be fair" and get stuff for all the kiddos when it is just supposed to a special day for one. I figure it all evens out in the end and they will get something else special another time...
But I feel loved that I made it into your dreams...with Matthew Lewis of all people! :-D
i wasn't annoyed at you. i was annoyed at the dumb adults in my car. i was so smooshed against the door that i couldn't reach the pedals or the ignition, but they would not get out. your children were being angels in the back seat, though.
and i didn't actually think you'd care about honor getting a present in real life. :)
and yes, you should feel loved. in a dream with matthew lewis is quite an honor. :)
Oh...well at least my children are angels in your dreams... :-D
Also, I like that Honor led everyone in a "pre-choreographed routine"--it sounds so flash mobby, which I so love :-D.
you're so weird
lol to HS's comment :)
