As the alcoholic that one I despise the most is when I'm awake and thinking.... one glass of wine won't hurt-afterall my demon was whiskey & shooters. Then I see my husband and realize, he's never seen me drink/drunk. We've been married 13 years novemeber and not once has he had to know this person. <br /><br />Besides, spooning... much better than that dream!<br />Hugs<br />TammyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-89218267197083297542009-08-25T21:46:59.315-04:002009-08-25T21:46:59.315-04:00Whoah!

Almost forgot, I LOVE that picture...a lot!<br />And, my recurring dream...which was more frequent 10 or 20 yrs. ago is that I arrive for a final in my Art History Class and I haven't been to a SINGLE class ALL year! Yes, it's true. I took that class at the University of Nebraska and it was so difficult for me for some reason! I'm a singer and had a music minor, a history minor and a Psychology Major. But, Art History...it was like Rocket Science to artsy Cindy.

I have such dreams, and then I wake up and tell him ALL about it (which he doesn't get as he doesn't remember his dreams) and then after telling him this awful dream where he caused anxiety for me...I slap his arm and he walks away shaking his head.
