Relationship breaker
Last night, I had a dream that my boyfriend and I were participants in the Amazing Race. On the final episode, we kicked ass, building a substantial headstart. The final challenge, however, was to select and gift wrap presents for a young Japanese couple. The recipients would pick the winner(s) of the show based on what gift they preferred.
My ample lead dwindled rapidly as I ran around an antique store trying to find the perfect gift. Dragons, buddhas and jade stretched as far as the eye could see. I started screaming at D. to help me make a decision and things got ugly. I vacillated to such a degree that my top picks were snapped up by other teams and we were forced to settle for some trinket or gewgaw doomed to fail. I looked up from my hurried gift-wrapping to realize the race had already ended and all the other contestants were standing around watching me.
