I get stuck in the mechanics of writing -- spelling, punctuation, etc. -- and lose the flow of the story.

I get stuck with that too, but in an bass ackwards way.  As it pertains to clothing design, that is.  I do a lot of reverse-engineering.  What happens is that I get the flow of what I design, but can't figure out the best way to make it happen, i.e. get stuck in the mechanics.

Oh, dear, my birthday is moving up quick! 33! That's so very solidly in the thirties, isn't it?

Puh-leeze.  I'll be celebrating the 11th anniversary of my 29th birthday in about 3 months.

Age is always hardest for me to deal with when I'm not happy with where I am in my life. 25 was a very difficult one, and in so many ways I feel like I'm right back where I was at 25, hitting a big ole' wall in my life and trying to figure out where to go next, hoping to turn a corner soon....

I don't remember where I was when I was 25. 33 - just had my first daughter.

Age is not indicative of anything.

Yeah, I know, I guess it's just that it's a milestone. Like Christmas and Thanksgiving are starting to make me a little sad, because I keep thinking it would be more fun with children....

*huggles*

I know.

*hugglesmore*

Aww, thanks.

Didn't mean to get all whiny and feeling-sorry-for-self again on ya'll, sorry.

Wine! Whine! :)

My take on the dream -- there's a saying that "having a bun in the oven" -- being pregnant, not that you're mistreating your baby.

Your subconscious wants to be pregnant.

Oh, I got that immediately.  The problem was the way that I failed to take care of the baby.  I forgot it was in the oven, no water or sustenance.  Or even remembering baby was in the oven!  Epic Fail.

*tickles* You wouldn't want to know what passed through my head when I was pregnant, had infants. It's normal. Nature's way of making sure we don't put the baby in the oven, etc.

I woke up so many times thinking I had the baby in bed with me and I thought I had rolled over and smothered her!

I hate dreams. I can never make heads nor tails of the things.

*nods* Silly subconscious. It makes so much more sense not to have children. That's what I keep telling my biological clock, too. Wish it would listen!

I've got to go to bed. Work tomorrow. *sigh*
