I have a dream...

I have a dream that one day there will exist a place where no one will ever be sick on Christmas. In this place there will be at least one hairdresser who knows how to cut thick, curly hair...and who doesn't say things like, " You pretty girl. You have face. Hair no matter." or "hair poofy. Poofy hair..." In this place there will be a pretty pink tablet that causes my hair to grow an inch a day and my fat to melt away over night. Chips and snicker bars will be healthfood. I will be able to run five miles a day...and spend at least an hour a day tanning myself under a bright, beautiful sunny sky.

My little boy and I worked out a pretty sweet little deal. He is going to take dance lessons with me...and I will teach him to drive on the way to the lesson. And then we will gorge ourselves on icecream and cotton candy before we go home. How much fun is that going to be someday!!!!

And....I promised my little girl that she will get a beautiful corsage of tiny pink roses every year on her birthday...and a gorgeous new pink dress...and we will wear crazy hats and go have tea somewhere very elegant and relaxing. Of course, once she is older...she and I will go get a manicure and a pedicure...and we wouldn't dream of not starting our morning off with a crisp, refreshing run. And that night we will snuggle up in warm blankets while we wear pretty nightgowns and drink hot chocolate...and we will watch Gone With the Wind and talk about all the wonderful things that happened the year that just passed...and we will dream about all of the wonderful things that are going to happen in the year to come.
