Weird Dream about April

I woke up remembering a dream about April. We were living in an apartment building/hotel building that was really nice and with lots of pastels and wood. My dead, female, elderly relatives were there too. April was unmarried, but might have been dating Phil. Her father paid her cable bill and there was a new romance cable option where you could have 6 additional cable channels -- the two options were "now" (modern romance) and "then" (historical romance). April chose "then" (historical romance) to add to her television channels. Some weddings were going on in the building and some girls were making cookies and being wedding planners, essentially. The dream was basically of only women.

Swedish Days

Today my mother, brother, Michael and I went to "Swedish Days" in Geneva. It's like a big fair with lots of crafts and food -- especially Swedish food, though there was also carnival food. I wish I were less afraid of trying new foods:-/ Michael bought a frog marionette and we went into the Scandinavian gift shop. It made me really want to go to a Scandinavian country... I want to visit so many places, but I really want to visit a Scandinavian country someday (I can't decide which one). I definitely want to read some folktales/fairy tales from Sweden and Norway. Michael and I also went into a used record shop. Geneva is really nice; we almost moved there when I was 1 year old, but we moved to Glen Ellyn instead.

My brother is trying to make a deal with my mother that he will do certain things if she takes him (and, by association, me) on a trip to Disney World. I think it would be foolish if she gives into him, but at the same time I desperately hope she agrees. My brother has been much more behaved lately and seems to enjoy working.
