Emily Dickinson is on my husbands's "five people you would invite to dinner if you could" list. His reason is that, even if you don't actually come, it's still nice to be asked.

Just back from True Grit and margaritas. Jammies and Scrabble time because of the snow. Sometimes, even when my kids are pissed because I've said no to taking the car out tonight, life is still good.

When I have a sad, I totally retreat to my diamond house and make love on mink. Except that I disguise the diamonds with peeling wood and the mink is bred to look and feel like clearance sheets from Target. I'm thoughtful to the neighbors that way.

hmmm....Anti-Palin sounds really self-aggrandizing. I want Palin to go away like Mab, fading into nothingness because people just choose to turn their back on her ways. I don't know enough about the new CA AG to give an opinion on her political savvy but I don't want someone trumpeted as the Palinslayer.

@cool_as_KimDeal: and when Oprah had him on about this, there was no calling him out - it was all thank yous for being man enough to speak his mind to women honestly. That was my Oprah tipping point right there.

Please can we have this theme repeated for Valentine's Day?

@Dorisaurus: You said what I was thinking.

@rollergirl76: you must be sexual napalm, have you met my friend John Mayer?

I am very happy for Tracy Morgan. I hope he'll be well and live long. I wonder which Lohan will eventually be asked to step up and donate a kidney to Lindsay.

@lanersg: A woman I work with does a choice of homemade kahlua or pecan turtle candies. I love her.

I like this. I also like the idea of them coming to life and terrorizing all of London the way the StayPuft Marshmallow Man terrorized New York. I should probably stop drinking.

I would like to start the rumor that the this whole student protest is actually a deep cover for the Queen who is desperate to give the crown to William but wants to eliminate Charles for being such a royal disappointment and for bringing the royal family to a low point because of his feckless earlier life. Once…

@uhohineedstars: I wanted to believe. I'm still dealing with the whole no Santa thing.

But Ben Bailey is still real, right? Right?????

Jesus weeps.

When my children were small and both loved Star Wars, people would always ask my son, "Who character do you wish you could be?" and he would answer, " Obi Wan". They would ask my daughter who would lisp out, "Da Emperor".

@mwynn13: And the grass always seems greener until you have to be the one to cut it. This is why I am waiting to be old enough to just be the crazy androgynous cat lady.

@la_maman_du_poete: I so completely agree. And, congratulations!

@LadyTudorRose: Maybe she's had a more literal seminal moment a la "The Uncommon Reader" by Alan Bennett ( a perfectly lovely book)

Well let's see, the time my daughter was nursing and decided to stop eating and start screaming. My nipple flew out of her mouth and sprayed the row in front of me with the power of a Sparkletts water show.
