The night before last, I dreamed of spaghetti and meatballs. Last night it was pumpkin pie, only that one was somewhat of a nightmare. You see, I'm growing pumpkins--yes, in real life. But in my dream, my mother came to visit, picked all my pumpkins and started to bake a pie with them...but a pie that I would be unable to enjoy because I was still committed to this faminesque diet of rice, beans, and cornmeal.
I checked this morning and, thankfully, my pumpkins are still there--bright orange. I only hope they last until August 17th! Perhaps last night's dream was more about my anxiety of having the pumpkins go bad than my hunger for real food.
(And yes, Jackie-the-English-Professor, I made up the word faminesque.)
Hey, I would have invented that word too!
