Possum Parts

I was mowing my backyard and kept coming across possum snouts and tails. They were pinkish-brown and they were all over my yard. I thought to myself that there must be a lot of possums shedding their parts, like snakes shed their skins, but the parts were rubbery not papery. Sam and Rudy were playing with the parts and I was trying to avoid them as I mowed the yard.

Drunk Scheryl

I was with Susan and we were looking for a Reading Rainbow store. We walked by Jefferson and saw a sports bar across the street, so we went in. I saw Scheryl across the room standing with a bunch of people drinking a cocktail. I went up to her and gave her a hug and could tell right away that she was drunk. She laughed and denied it and I said, "But it's the middle of the day and you have to go back and teach this afternoon! You're going to get fired!" She took a step backwards and fell into a glass coffee table, shattering it. Everyone stopped and stared and I ran over to help her. I picked her up off the floor and laid her on a couch where she curled up and went to sleep. Everyone was still staring and it was very quiet so I told them to go back to what they were doing. I was so worried she was going to get fired!

Weekend in New York

I rented an apartment in NY for a romantic weekend with Russ, but he never showed. Susan was there and I was trying to pack my bags and get to the airport. I was mad at Susan because she kept doing things to slow me down and I didn't want to miss my plane. We got into the car to leave and I realized I had left my shoes in the apartment. I ran back inside but didn't have my key, so I had to ask a housekeeper to let me in. I didn't have on any clothes, was just wrapped in a towel, and as we were standing at the elevator waiting the housekeeper kept trying to cover me up. I got my shoes and ran downstairs and there were two cops standing there. I told them I was trying to get to the airport and asked if they'd give me a police escort. Suddenly I found myself climbing up a wall at the airport, trying to take a shortcut to my gate. I started to slip, but there was a Vietnamese man at the top of the wall and he leaned over to help pull me up. I grabbed his hand, but didn't have any footing and knew he couldn't hold me. I slid down the wall and landed on the floor in frustration. My flight was leaving in 15 minutes and I knew I wouldn't make it. Some guys told me not to worry, that there was another flight leaving in an hour, but I couldn't be consoled. I was so pissed at Russ for not showing up.

New York Boyfriend

I was in New York and met a guy who was not my type at all, but I was interested in him. He was white, rich, and funny but not that good-looking. We went to his apartment, which was huge , and were having sex in his bedroom. He was very good in bed, but in the middle of sex two women walked in on us. We thought it was hilarious! I continued to hang out with him and he took me to several parties. I had a lot of fun with him. He reminded me of Jerry Seinfeld.

Lincoln Retreat

I was at a resort that had a pool and golf course with Lincoln teachers. Olivia had bleached her hair blonde. We were sitting around a large table and being served delicious food - sushi, bagels, and cream cheese, and tons of little appetizers all arranged beautifully on tiered trays. I found myself in a room with Michale Gentry trying to adjust the clothes I was wearing. I had on a long black skirt with a long tan chiffon skirt on underneath. I was showing Michale how I could pull the black skirt all the up to my armpits and wear it like a maxi dress. I went back to the room where the food was and they were packing everything up. I got a plate and served my myself some rice, then poured blueberry sauce over the top. I couldn't find anything else and I was so disappointed that I had missed the meal. Next I was in a golf cart riding around the resort. I slowed the cart down and jumped out when I saw some friends on the path. They said, "Diane, what are you doing???" as we watched the golf cart continue to go down the path and then crash into a retaining wall. I laughed and said I forgot I was the one driving the cart. I ran down the path to the cart and got back in, hoping it would still drive. I continued driving, trying to find a place to park it. I couldn't figure out how the brakes worked and could never get the cart to completely stop. A man and his teenage children tried to help me and I nearly ran over one of the boys.

Basketball

I was playing basketball with a group of guys. They were very nice and were surprised at how well I could play. Afterwards, we all went to the house of one of the guys. I had a crush on him. He was very tall and good looking. He was showing me pictures of his family and his parents and grandparents were all different races, which I thought was very cool. Omar was there and everyone was planning on spending the night at his house so we could get up early the next morning and go on a basketball trip. I told them I hadn't brought any clothes or a toothbrush with me, so I wouldn't be able to spend the night. My phone rang and it was Holly. She was at my apartment and was crying. I told her I wasn't home, but to wait there for me and I'd be right over. I told the guys I had to go, but then things kept happening and I ended up staying. We were horsing around, dancing and eating. Somehow we ended up at a river. I was afraid to jump in because I could see rocks underneath the water, so I eased into the water. I really liked the tall guy and swam next to him. It was a slow moving river and we let the current carry us downstream. Then I remembered that Holly was waiting on me and I tried to swim against the current to get back to my house.
