I'm glad you've got some positive feedback, P-C. You've been working so hard. I hope all the contract stuff goes the way you'd like it to.

Jilli, I saw the picture of you in the red overdress and all I have to say is, Hail Satin!

You both looked wonderful!

"Hello, this is Kirsten?"
"Huh. Oh, you answered very quickly."
"..."
"Oh, wait, wrong number, sorry."
"Okay."
"I meant to put 800."
"All right. Bye."
"Bye."

I've set myself two goals for today. Four bottles of water and no sugar, other that what's already in the food I've chosen.

Guess which is harder?

I have plum trees. With plums on them. One just got ripe enough to eat, and YUM!

Very pleased.

My friend Fran has a longstanding understanding with her husband about Prince. He's a freebie;

I have a friend who had a List like this with her GF, who also had a list. Friend ended up in close contact to someone on her List. Cheating, ugly breakup, and 5 years later, friend is still with the person on her List. This made the List not so charming a concept in my household :)

Announcement: I have gained 5-6 lbs. in the past 4 weeks.

Analysis: Go team Grape-Nuts with half'n'half!

Other Announcement: I am craving dairy like a mad fiendish thing that craves dairy. I got a half-pint of 1% milk with lunch and OMG it is the absolute nectar of the gods. I could slam a 2-gallon jug of 1% right now, if I only had access to one. I'm going home tonight and do milk shots until the wee small hours. This stuff is so FG, I don't understand how I never comprehended the totality of its wondrousness before. All your milk are belong to me.

Other Analysis: The cravings, they are some fucked-up shit.

I have a friend who had a List like this with her GF, who also had a list.

Oh, ouch for your friend's ex-GF.

I think a key component of the List is (or ought to be) that the persons on it are totally improbable. My list contains Stephen Colbert, who is married with kids and devout and ethical and at the other end of the continent, and Seth Green, who is filthy stinkin' rich and a decade younger than me and before whom, if actual contact ever happened, I would be dead certain to make such a fannish ass of myself that he wouldn't touch me with a 10-foot pole (but he'd be all nice and polite about it, because that's how he is, which is why he's on my List).

My list emphatically does not contain That Cute Swashbuckler At Faire or That Sweet And Incredibly Gifted Local Actor I Kinda Know. Remotely real-world accessible=OFF THE LIST. This seems like a good safe rule.

Or anyone too international, like Isabella Rosellini.

Yeah, my list is people like George Clooney.
