thanateLast night involved weird anxiety dreams, beginning with the stressful but clearly tied to reality and culminating with one in which teenage boys kept wandering into my garden to set up boom boxes so they could serenade some girl who lived next door. Whole parades of them. Apparently this was some sort of bizarre courting ritual (and in the dream, it was very explicitly a courting-for-the-purpose-of-marriage thing) and while there were other guys who just went up to the girl's door like normal people, anyone who wanted to do something else came and wandered about in my yard blatantly ignoring my existence.
I woke up later than I'd intended and still very tired, but managed to drag myself out of bed to go to the farmer's market for the first time in over a month, and so now I have a whole bunch of honeycrisp apples and other worthy things to eat. And I was not even particularly late getting out to Gaithersburg to go to a doll show with my mother (a thing I don't think I've done since high school) where I was virtuous and only got the thing I went for (doll stands) and didn't spend more money at all. Well, except at the fabric store afterwards, where I got ALL the Butterick patterns since they're finally on $.99 sale again. (Ok, not all. But about eight, mostly geared towards usability as maternity and/or nursing wear.) And what I would like to know is what the heck happened to the sort of cheap chiffon that actually had drape to it-- it used to live on a rack of all two or three dollar chiffon in many colors & 45" width (and compulsively fall off its bolts) but the only thing I've seen since I last worked at a fabric store is the stiffer kind that's about 58" and often bespangled with stars or dots. And that's all very nice, but not at all the same. And what I want right now is yards and yards of the drapey stuff. (Not, I admit, that I'm entirely sure I'd actually buy it if I could, but there's a thing I've been contemplating for which I at least theoretically want it. And it is nowhere to be found.)
Anyway, we have windowsills in the new side of the house (a joint effort over the weekend... we shall not mention how long it's been since we *could* have gotten around to the windowsills), and I have ALL THE PATTERNS, including the Lewis & Clark dress one, which looks to be really easy to alter to a modern construction version that should be exactly what I want, and possibly I should go play with that instead of typing any more atrocious sentences. I mean, I don't even remember what I was going to talk about when I started this entry, but I know it wasn't the dream thing. Possibly I was going to complain (somewhat more coherently) about chiffon, which I did. So clearly it's ok to stop now.
