Thee Silver Platter

Today I packed up the family for a trip to the dump. Yippee.
I was on the search for some pictures frames, but instead found this beautiful silver tray.
The idea was to spray paint the middle with chalkboard paint, and hang it in my kitchen.
But after some rubbin love with the baking soda this lonely tray turns out to be a diamond in the rough.
  Just look at the engraving... I cant cover that up!
 I cant stop staring at this. Also keep telling Mark "Isnt it GORGEOUS!?"

awww... Im going to dream of silver platters tonight. But how could you serve anything on this?
Hopefully tomorrow I can hit up the Post wide yard sale and find something fun ... like a china hutch that Mark can make look pretty for me?

( October 21, 2006 , The night we met.)

One can be such a daydreamer. There are times when I daydream so much I wonder if I was actually sleeping and I was just dreaming.
I've always gotten so lost in daydreaming. Always wishing and wanting. Wanting to go back and time and change things. Or hitting the lotterey ( or something like that) and having things be so much better for everyone.
The biggest one I seem to do though is the go back in time. I go back in time alot. I relive my life so many times. I make things better , DO better. When I come back to reality though I think to myself " Do you REALLY wish that ?" . I get scared. I think to myself "if" I were to go back in time I would be scared to actually change things. Why? Because of my beautiful family that I have now. I've thought of this alot , and I would go through and endure all the good and bad all over again just to have what I have now.
For safety reasons I sometimes dream of dating Mark all over again. Then I get scared and think well maybe we wouldnt have married when we did , or maybe we would have waited to have kids , and would that mean having different kids?
There are so many different angles you have to worry about when daydreaming of changing the past. I just now woke up from a 48 min daydream. I put the kids down for a nap and couldnt fall asleep , so instead I let my mind wander.
There were so many things going through my mind. I was going crazy at the time the kids were going to sleep. I was thinking alot of negative, like not having ANY resolutions , not unpacking two suitcases, not being out of the house ALL WEEK. I was just feeling like crap. So it lead me to thinking about the crap I'm going to give Mark once he walks in the door, why? I dont know. Instead I starting day dreaming about meeting Mark all over again. It was such an intense real daydream it was as if in that 48 min I lived a whole 3 years all over again. Fell into such a deep love , well that day dream was amazing. Now sitting here , I'm still recovering from falling in love. Also a little sad that I will have my tired husband walk in the door that felt the same about me as he did this morning. LOL. Not the head over heals, in shape , tanned, active, no worries ( well not completely "no worries" if you know Mark), funny man I fell in love with.
Now am I saying that I'm not with the man I married. Not really. It's the same man , just with kids... a dog... me... a masters program... Now thats alot that can hinder you from being a carefree person. I love him though. More and more and differently everyday. Now that I think about I now remember why I started day dreaming about him. He turns 27 on the 22nd. I was thinking that I am now 24 and he was 24 when we married. I still feel so young and unaccomplished , but he was so ahead in life and seemed older. Now that I'm 24 it just doesnt seem that old.
