My dreams continue to put me to sleep.

Last night I dreamt I was, get this, on the Today Show! I wasn't even naked or fumbling. I showed up on set and had some coffee with Alice and then went on air. Which is pretty much exactly what's going to happen, for God's sake Subconcious.

Then, I was at Ann Taylor where they were selling lycra bike shorts to wear with cashmere and even the size two had huge hips and tiny barrels for leg openings. That's right Subconcious, I don't like bike shorts. Or skinny jeans. Can we dream about that tonight! Put me in a pair and watch the rage unfold! How creative!

Then, I was at the doctor with Max to have his ear infection rechecked. And it was all cleared up! Guess what I'm doing today at 3pm? Taking Max to the doctor to have his ear infection rechecked. My Subconcious is really pushing my boundaries!

I've developed a slight cough with chest congestion. So, I bet you can't guess what the last dream I had was about? No, not that I'd inhaled a snake and was trying to cough it up. I called the doctor to ask what I could do about this cough because I'm supposed to be on TV on Friday. WOW! I really out did myself.

Since I just wrote about jeans at The Buzz Off I'm surprised I didn't dream about showing up in New York wearing Mom Jeans. But no, that's too creative for my Subconcious. If I dreamed about jeans and the Today Show I would have dreamt about finding out what Ann Curry's favorite denim is. I'm guessing she likes a dark wash, low rise.

Hang in there! I'm excited to see you on the Today Show! Hope you feel better by then.

It's entirely possible that bike shorts and cashmere will be the next big thing. After all, man leggings are all the rage for fall.

Maybe you're a style savant.

The only thing that aggravates me about your Today appearance is that it got rescheduled to the day when I'll be on a business trip. Dang it! Promise me you will have Logan YouTube it.

I will have my subconscious send your subconscious some sort of greeting card, Get Well Soon! or Rest and Recouperate! with pictures of kittens or maybe Presbyterians eating kittens while wearing skinny jeans.

I have a big, full, interesting life. Really, I do. But yours is one of the sites I frequent daily. Or many times a day, hoping or wondering if you've posted. How you can live so out there -- talking about your rift with your sis or the Presbs -- with them reading, I am sure -- how can you do that? It is fascinating. I am not saying you should not, don't get me wrong. I am just so curious how you can. Given that you're not above what others think of you (since you've shared that inner critic with us), doesn't it pain you? Again, I must say, I am not saying don't. In fact, I am saying DO. Your basic instincts are so right on with everyone's inner-most fears. But you just shoot it out there and let it hang. That's a gift. And I totally appreciate you sharing it with us. So thanks.

[Several minutes have passed and I am still pondering this all.]

So there's you, putting yourself out there for us to aborb or reject or whatever it is we will do. But then what do you do with us? We feel like we know you. In fact we do know you. We know everything you've put out there. What do you do with that? And what do we do? Is a comment on your blog enough? Do you expect anything from us?

[A few more minutes pass.]

You have your gig with Alice and Heather and others, but I for one feel a part of it as I read you all. But I am faceless. You didn't see the bacon I ate this morning, not to mention my French toast. How do you think of us, your readers? As a group? Or maybe you don't think of us? Maybe you shouldn't because that could get creepy...much like this over-winded comment.

It's great that you had a positive (or at least uneventful) dream about the Today Show experience. And is Alice really meeting you for coffee on the set? She seems like she'd know just the right thing to say. I'm so excited to see you on t.v. on Friday!
