kindnesses...
Kanani sent a "kissing ball" made from a tree native to Thailand just in time for B's visit. Just when you think there are no surprises, people floor you with generosity. So deliciously sweet. Thank you.
 
my fortune...
"A refreshing change is in your future."
 
worth subscribing...
In my opinion, it's worth subscribing to HBO just to see the commercial that Ben Affleck put together for the Project Greenlight "Best Imitation of Chris Moore" contest.
 
a bath companion...
It's not exactly the most risqué bath companion I've had, but Erika's birthday present to me-- a silver tray/caddy/bookstand/wine glass and candle holder-- is an awesome companion for my long, decadent baths. I told her that my cordless phone even perfectly fits into one of the trays for those needy baths. Oh the joy of a perfect bath with all of the right equipment.
 
forgotten...
The following phrases are written on a block of post-its next to my computer:
 
Mike Tyson - principle of loser school;
what are you doing for Billie Holiday Weekend?;
Ari Fleischer-type asking me to help him pick out a pair of black socks;
Wonder Woman's invisible airplane animator was just lazy
 
Once upon a time, I think these things were trying to make their way into the whirlygirl snapshot column. Now they seem like jokes whose punch lines are long forgotten.
 
upcoming...
a dressy client meeting which will require an iron;
a working weekend;
lunch in Annapolis with Kate;
the infamous 5:30am Academy Award Nomination phone call to Michael and Jolene;
a big day;
a bigger day;
the biggest day
