Last night I dreamed I was out perusing the garage sales with a friend, and we happened upon Tom Cruise’s house. He was, indeed, having a garage sale. I guess baby Suri is growing up and they were getting rid of some of her designer baby things. We met and talked with him as we were picking over his stuff, and then I asked if I we could take a picture with him. “Sure!” he enthusiastically replied.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera, but my friend said she had one, but it was just one of those disposable cameras. But we figured it’s better than nothing, (what, Tom Cruise doesn’t have a good camera around? No paparazzi at his garage sale? I guess not) so we took the pictures with Tom Cruise with a crappy disposable cameras.
After we had taken the pictures, I said, “Here’s one for the blog.” I don’t think I said it very loud, but Tom Cruise heard me, and said, “Oh, yeah, I love your blog! I laughed so hard at that one about the sandals! Oh, are those the shoes you were talking about?” and he pointed at my sandals.
I laughed, and said that yes, they were, and was a little shocked that Tom Cruise would read my blog.
“Oh, yeah,” he said, DeEtte pointed it out to me, and I love it. Keep it up!”
Now, DeEtte is a friend of mine, who I’m pretty sure doesn’t read my blog, and I really don’t think she knows Tom Cruise (but I guess it’s possible; I’ll have to ask her), and I wish I knew what blog post “about the sandals” he was talking about. If Tom Cruise liked it, it must have been good, right? I wonder if Katie reads the blog, too?
So when I was rudely awakened this morning by Natalie telling me it was ten minutes to seven, and didn’t I remember that they had to be to school at 7:00, it was really a shock to me. I was in that “just woke up fog” wondering if I had really met Tom Cruise, and did I buy any of their cute designer baby things?
Back in reality, I’m pretty sure there are no famous celebrities reading my blog. I did find out recently that a few of my friends have been reading my blog, and my neighbor told me that once she found it, she stayed up until one in the morning reading through all the back entries. But did she post a comment? No.
So, I’m asking you to just leave me a comment every once in a while so I’ll know you’re out there. If you’re new here and have never left a comment, just say hi and let me know who you are, and if you’re Tom Cruise (or if you know Tom Cruise), WELCOME! (and maybe you could tell me that story about the sandals, because I’m sure it’s a good one).
I look forward to every new post and love your posts!!!
At least you didn’t find out that your kid’s whole school is full of lurkers at your place…
That was no dream–I really do love your blog!
–Tom Cruise
(I’m typing this on your sister’s computer, so just ignore that this says it’s really a comment from her.)
Did you dream about Tom Cruise last night because you watched him on Oprah yesterday?
Have you been watching Oprah lately? Is that why Tom Cruise is in your dreams? (I’m commenting this time, Paige. I’m the “one in the morning” neighbor who didn’t comment. And, by the way, it was 1:30. I had just discovered Paige’s blog. I just couldn’t stop reading. She’s hilarious and wise at the same time.)
I haven’t seen the Tom Cruise on Oprah interview yet, but I have heard people talking about it, and I must have seen that it was there on my tivo waiting for me to watch it, so I guess I had Tom Cruise on the brain. Thanks for your sweet comments!
Remember what Shari Dew said at Women’s Conference about Oprah–not to get caught up with her or even watch her. And if you heard her, you know why. I wasn’t there, but I heard about it.
What I don’t understand is how you have time not only to blog, but to go back and read the comments, and to keep up with the blogs of your friends. That’s amazing!
