I would imagine everyone in the world knows the meaning of daydreaming and I would also imagine everyone in the world has had the experience of daydreaming.  Personally, I seem to excel in this particular act.  According to my mom and dad and all my teachers while in grade school through high school, the main discussion during parent/teacher meetings was that act in which I excelled in.  Back in the day when I was a cute little thing in grade school and "report cards" were given out to be signed by the parents once viewed and returned to the teachers, there was a section where the teacher could evaluate the students character while in class.  Each and every year was written the words "Connie would be a great student if only she didn't daydream so much".

Hey, what can I say?  School was totally boring to me - well, with the exception of science, PE, and lunch, that is.  As I have aged and had many life experiences, those daydreams have saved my sanity many times. So, this blog has been created for me to daydream out loud.  I need a place to vent, to express my thoughts to someone, to share my feelings and who knows, maybe to even reach out there into cyberspace and possibly help someone else.
