I had a dream for years that one day, I'd have enough money saved up to move to a college town and open up a bookstore/coffeehouse that was animal-friendly (okay, well DOG-friendly) and I could wear sundresses and be barefoot at work.
I turn 40 soon. (gulp)
So when do you give up that unattainable dream? Or do you make it attainable? And is it only because it's something you think you might never actually achieve that makes it so alluring?
Or am I just wanting to be a stay-at-home mom to my three bad little babies?
What is/was your dream? Are you still pursuing it? Or have you given up and resigned yourself to your lot in life?
Oh, yes, and should I wear a tiara at my 40th bday party? Or is that a bit too much?

I guess I've given up. Trying to just be appreciative for the way things are these days. I used to want to be a weather-man, but now I've resigned myself to it just being a hobby. When's the big day?
I love weather - we used to love to get outside when it was stormy, and when there'd be tornadoes, I wasn't scared but excited!
Now they terrify me. Weatherman as a hobby is a good one, I think.
Ugh, it's March 6th. Countdown begins...
Tiara + chicken = absolutely, yes.
I'm trying for the whole "living the dream thing". Unfortunately I am still scared sh*tless.
Yay it's Pisser!
You absolutely wear that tiara!
Way I see it, it's not that the dream's unattainable - it's that the reality of that is not what you want. To be away from your family? Your home? You chose those things instead. At least that's what happened to me and the whole, working for a magazine in NYC thing. I got there, looked around, and decided sleeping on a nutty Italian guy's couch in Park Slope wasn't the dream I'd signed up for, and that dream was kind of sucky anyway, and left. Never looked back.
BTW, 39 was the year of the tiara.
I think you need the headdress Lucy wore when she was the chorus girl in that movie. The one with pearls draped and big feathers.
