I swear. I just had to say, Belle! Perry Como, I love him. Check this out . I was watching it last night and Polly came and sat down beside me. She watched for a few seconds and then looked up at me and asked, “Mommy, do you think he’s handsome?”I noted that she said handsome instead of cute or hot, which are her usual words for attractive. “Yes, I do.” I replied. She watched me watching the screen for a little while longer and then asked, “Does dad know?” I laughed, but I’m thinking he might soon, especially when I ask him to get me some Perry Como songs for my Ipod. He had a voice that makes me melt inside, seriously.

Also, I couldn’t read “Interview With a Vampire” either. My husband loved it so much that he wanted me to read it. I started it over and over until I finally gave up. I did, however, read every page of Anne Rice’s erotica.

I love these guilty pleasure comments. John Denver seems to be a common one. I was expecting Smokey Robinson, Neil Diamond, Julio Iglesias and maybe even a little Jimmy Buffett.

Ok, back to the real writing, if I can get anything done in between phone calls from my Mom, who returned from Ireland last night and has so much to tell me that my phone has been ringing all morning. I told her she should just come over, especially since she claims to have tons of gifts for everyone, and one of them just has to be a fine whiskey, doesn’t it?
