RN: The other night I had a dream that I was George Clooney's date for the Academy Awards. I wore a pale green dress (which I deem to be the next color rage) with delicate beading on the hem of the skirt and the around the edge of the bodice. My hair was pulled back softly and I had a white silk wrap and a beaded clutch. I was also dripping in diamonds and together we sparkled like Hollywood royalty.(I was also very thin in this dream, but I still had the bust needed to fill out this tight bodiced dress with a full skirt) George was very debonair in a white tux coat, very Cary Grant-esque and the whole scene was very 50/60's reminiscent. We walked down the red carpet, with me on his arm, and people kept referring to me as "guest" George clooney and guest, because I am a nobody in Hollyworld. He smelled faintly of cologne, very spicy and sensual, and I suspected that was just his scent and I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear as we stopped for cameras and posed for pictures with his arm around my shoulder, cheek to cheek with his sultry smile, perfect salt and pepper hair against my rich chocolate coif, his sexy stubble and perfectly places smile lines next to my impeccable make up job that I had done by the top hollywood makeup artists earlier that day. There were some with my arm through his, standing so close , and a couple of me in tow, hand in hand, both of us smiling back at the cameras as we ventured inside. As we made our way to our table, I couldn't stop thinking about telling all my friends at the clubhouse that I was George Clooney's date for the Academy Awards, and at the same time kicking myself for not bringing my digital camera, but then remembering that my picture was going to be plastered all over the news peices with headlines saying "mystery woman accompanies George to he big event" and other similar headlines. I then thought, Landi will recognize me and scream "there's escapee!....OMG she's with George. " and she'd report back promptly to the clubhouse. At our table was Brad Pitt with Angelina and Matt Damon with his wife, both a little plumper than I due to just having babies, (even though I just had one too, well six months ago) so I really shined in the wake of their recent deliveries. We all got along smashingly, talked of recent home purchases and child birth stories. Then they asked how George and I met and I couldn't answer them, because I didn't know. I couldn't eat a bite of what was served because my nerves were so on edge but I sipped my champagne, just enough to give me an extra glow, and watched the show in the classiest way I knew how, yet all a-flutter because George had his hand on my knee beneath the table cloth. Then they called George up for best actor and as he walked up the runway, the camera's flashed to me smiling from ear to ear and clapping with Angelina and Matt's wife looking a bit jealous, but the underline when the camera's showed me said "Mystery Woman" and then they both looked a bit smug as no one knew who I was, yet. But, I didn't care. I was with George Freaking Clooney! Then during his speech, he thanked me for all my support. After an overwhelming standing ovation, I awoke to the sound of clapping, which was really my TV all snowy and loud. Ahhhh, sweet dreams.

RN, Clay Aiken's new album has a cut, "When I See You Smile", that was my son and his girlfriend's song a long time ago. They have now been married about 10 years. What a huge suprise to see the group, "Bad English's" only huge hit, on Clays Album. I'm now off to listen to the rest of the album. I do believe I'll by buying this one for sure.
