Actor John Cusack is getting married and I've been invited to the wedding. I'm focused on two things---getting there with someone else behind the wheel (it's in New Jersey and I don't drive long distances) and shopping for a wedding gift.

I'm at a boutique and I bring up a box of different perfumed round soaps and brag to the cashier that I've been invited to John Cusack's wedding. She tells me that I shouldn't go with just that but a few other items as well. I end up with a cat statuette, a decorative lamp, and an expansive vase. I only have a $50.00 bill and hand it to the clerk and she tells me it's $80.00 total.

Now I'm fishing through my purse looking for my credit card as others are waiting behind me in line. When I finally finish paying for the merchandise, I see the shop clerks have wrapped the gifts for me and I'm pleased. I walk out of the shop trying to balance all of the gifts in my arms as I go to meet the car that's taking me to the wedding.

Why do you think you are buying gifts for someone else and not doing things for yourself? What is it about John Cusask?

Sorry it took so long to reply.
I think what may have sparked the dream was a conversation I had with my mother that day before about the film "Better Off Dead." We were talking about how the price of the newspaper has gone up and starting joking about "two dollars," a line heard throughout the film. Cusack's character is being chased around by a paperboy who wants money for 10 papers he's delivered without payment.
