+ I had a dream last night that my teeth were falling out. It is a reoccurring nightmare I have. And perhaps the most annoying thing about going to sleep. I heard once that when your teeth fall out in dreams it means your subconscious is telling you your life is out of control. Duh. I do not need a horrible dream to tell me that.

+ I am realizing that if I am serious about this whole BOOK thing I have to stop sharing my projects online. No one wants a book of ideas they have already seen. The lovelies in the above photo are a new mini book. Dandelion magic from here and here.

+ Quite often Paul says something along the lines of "Babe, you know what we really need? A insert kitchen tool here." And I love to smile sweetly and say, "Babe, we can register for that." And suddenly he looks as though we really do not need said kitchen tool. It is an interesting social experiment.

+ I got a $14 haircut today. I have no qualms about spending $7.50 for a letterpressed greeting card, but a hair cut? I think I am missing the glamorous gene. But at least I can say with my straggly head held high that I steer clear of e-cards.

+ Tropical Storm Hanna is outside, college football is inside, I have a floor full of laundry that needs to be folded, we have friends coming for dinner tonight AND hooray, hooray – my teeth are all correctly nestled into my jaw bone.

Saturday, you fun-loving day you, rock on.

    I’m really excited about you writing a book-go for it! But promise you’ll still give us cool ideas sometimes, okay? You totally rock and I love your blog and your creations.
    I dream about my teeth falling out all the time. I start spitting them out. How frightening is that? It is a genuine fear and I suppose it comes out in my dreams. Have no fear; You are not alone.

    You comment about the kitchen tools and wedding registry made me laugh out loud. In the library. At Columbia. Every person in the room looked at me like I was crazy.
    I loved every second of it. You crack me up!

    I dream about losing my teeth a lot. Sometimes they all fall out at the same time, and sometimes they crumble, and turn to powder in my mouth. Either way it’s terrifying, because it actually feels real. I read that dreams about your teeth falling out also means that you have a fear of getting old or dying. Weird. But probably true, because I do have a fear of both those things!

    so if you’re going to register kitchen tools, does this mean you’re engaged!?

    Dude. I totally dream about losing teeth. I think I’m a teeth-grinder. But I’m not sure. Maybe you are too.

    Oh, the dreaded ‘teeth dreams’. I, too, have had those nightmares…and I also read it has to do with lack of control in one’s life. I really don’t know how those go together–it would make more sense if I just drowned in my dream or was falling through the sky!
    I am very proud of you for going for it with the book idea. Just remember to stay true to yourself don’t give up on your goals…we really can do anything we put our minds to. :)S

    i can honestly say i’ve never dreamed about my teeth falling out, but most likely will tonight thanks to the vivid imagery that i now have in my over-active brain. (woo.)
    on a more pleasant note, i have a fantastic obsession with everything dandelion. thanks for sharing. sweet! your book’s gonna rock.
