During Election 2008 I wrote of dreams I had regarding politics. There was one dream I didn’t mention, however…because I didn’t think it would come true. It was President and First Lady Obama dancing at an inaugural ball. Michelle was wearing a black and white polka dot dress. I dreamed that last summer and kept insisting in my mind that it wasn’t an inauguration I was seeing, but perhaps just a celebration Obama’s nomination. Well, I remembered that dream when I saw an interview in which she was wearing a black and white polka dot dress. As for her ball gown…it isn’t black and white, but the 
frills are a little polka dottish, are they not?
I don’t know what the significance of polka dots is, but I decided to write it down so no one would think I had given myself over entirely to selective memory.
I don’t know why I’m blogging about this on my 19th birthday. Perhaps because I spent the past two days studying for my second History exam which I just took yesterday. Now I have to get to work on my English assignments: a diagnostic paragraph describing my “Favorite Fictional Character” and an essay on “Three Things In My Purse And How They Define Me”. How exciting.

Black and white polka dots…Maybe it signifies skin color or something…!? This election was all about “black and white”, wouldn’t be surprised why that’s why you dreamed that, dear goofball sister. =) Happy birthday, by the way.

That’s funny. I am rather in awe of people who can dream things other than nonsense.
Happy birthday! I wish you the best with your studies.
It was lovely to hear from you! I have seen your blog and visited a couple of times with every intention of coming back, it is just lovely here. And gray is very mature and literary also :)
That is a interesting dream! I also admire someone who can dream about things other than almost chaotic situations whilst one sleeps. My cousin always has a good story to tell from her dreams and I somewhat envy her :)
Have a Great Day!

I hope you had a wonderful birthday! May God richly bless you in the years to come as you grow closer to Him! :)
That is funny that you have the same shirt, humorous how things like that happen.
Happily,
