But what does it all MEAN?

blog

Last night, I dreamed that I was driving a logging truck in an ice storm – storms aside, I am fairly certain that truck-driving would be my ideal vocation.  When I finally arrived home in Montrose, Colorado, safe and sound, someone knocked on my door.  I opened it to find a man standing in the swirling snow; he told me that he built his own boat, and he really thought I should come see it.

“But – I’m not wearing any makeup!” I protested.

“You look beautiful,” he said.

“But – I don’t have any shoes!” I challenged.

“That’s okay – I brought you these.”  He pulled out high-heeled leather boots, lined with sheep’s wool.  They were his mother’s.  They were size 6 ½.

He won me over.  What can I say – it doesn’t take much.

This week, I promise to write about the following things:
–    “Friday Night Lights”
–    My 10-year high school reunion
–    How a doorknob reminded me that God loves me

    I love it! That is a fantastic dream. And I think the idea of truck driving as a vocation must run in your family because I remember your dad saying the same thing.
    I think the themes of the dream are these…home; true beauty; protection; safety; feelings of uncertainty and insecurity; acceptance…

    I didn’t miss the reunion, did I? Not sure that I would go anyway, but if you went…it would be fun, right? I guess I’ll find out your thoughts about it when you blog.

    I just went to my reunion. It was fun reconnecting with people, but Facebook and My Space have almost made reunions unnecessary.

    You can’t have had your 10yr yet unless you graduated in 1999.

    i am having a recurring dream for the first time in my life. i keep returning to college, only to drop out when i remember i already have a large amount of student loans. the dream becomes more stressful each time, because each time it feels more real. i have no idea what that means either.

    Much to my initial resistance, I am a huge fan of FNL and would love to discuss it with you. Clear eyes, full hearts, CAN’T LOSE!! Oh, and Riggins isn’t too shabby on the eyes :)

    p.s. Is it weird that I want to be a hot Texas house wife like Mrs. Taylor? I’m talking sundresses with cowboy boots, aviators, and flowing long locks.

    Maybe the boots signify the strength and yet inner softness of the man you need.

    I mean, those kind of boots would totally do it for me.

    The man is the boots? With the high heels?

    I don’t think I would want a high-heeled boot man. Especially if he was size 6 1/2.
