Wanna Go To the Prom?

So I've been thinking...um...well...you see there's this dance...and...um...well...

Wanna go with me?

I'm proposing we have a blog prom. I have no idea if someone else is already hosting one, but why not go to two? I mean you'll have the dress/tuxedo and all.

So here's what I'm thinking. Let's do it the last weekend in March. I know it's a little early for the "traditional" prom season, but hey that's what's great about not being in high school anymore. We can have prom whenever we want to.

So start digging through your photo albums and pull out those dusty old pictures, get them scanned. We're having ourselves a prom!

And this isn't going to be a one night affair. We want to see you getting ready, we want to see your ride, the flowers, your date, the after-party...the whole shebang. Didn't go to prom? Tell us about what you did instead or get dressed up and take some pictures of yourself to share.

On Friday, March 30th write a post about getting ready for the big night. Post any pre-prom pictures. Did you go to the tanning bed the day before? Did you have your hair done or did you do it yourself? How did you ask your date? How did your date ask you?

On Saturday, March 31 tell us about the night. And we want pictures!!! We want to see your terrific taffeta or lovely lace. Did you sport the powder blue tux or was it tails? Did you hoof to the dance or was their a fancy limo? What was the theme? Were you the queen/king?

On Sunday, April 1 we want to hear all about the after-party. Did you stay up all night? Where did you go? Again, pictures.

Let me know if you want to go and I'll start a guest list. If anyone knows how to make a button so you can tell people about it and post it on your blog, I'd be happy to include it. I'm just not that talented--yet.

I'll also start thinking about categories for a prize or two. I went to the prom in the late 80's, so I can promise LOTS of hair. Any other ideas to make the prom better? Let me know. You can be on the prom committee too.

So that's it. That's my idea. I hope you wanna go with me. I think we'll have fun...my dad's going to let me borrow his car.

Is Your Kiss On My List?

Do you and your significant other have your lists assembled? Are they fluid or is the rule at your house that they must be laminated--no substitutions?

You know what I'm talking about right? The list of 5 famous people you can hook up with should you actually be presented with the opportunity.

There's no laminating in our house. Because, you know, we're surrounded by so many celebrities here in the DC burbs that we just don't want to get pinned down.

So here's my current version:

1. Patrick Dempsey
2. Bono
3. Derek Jeter
4. Patrick Dempsey
5. Patrick Dempsey

And Shakey's:

1. Ashley Judd
2. Ashley Judd
3. Ashley Judd
4. Ashley Judd
5. Ashley Judd

As you can see, we're both pretty committed.

So who's on your list?

And because this was inspired by Joe, who would be on your list if you decided to switch teams?

Me? Thanks for asking...

1. Ashley Judd (the brunette version)
2. Mariska Hargitay
3. Jenna Jameson (oh come on! you know she must have a trick or two)
4. Ashley Judd (the red head version)
5. Ashley Judd (the blonde version)

So be honest. Who's your fantasy Daddy/Mamma?

And I totally reserve the right to adopt your list if it's better than mine.

Have You Hugged Your MILF Today?

Lovely comments abound from men of a certain age (older than 35?) admitting that they like their women with a little meat on them. What sweet, sweet music to my ears.

You see I have no aspirations of being rail thin. I'd be happy for "in shape." Pursuing heroin chic for me would be like searching for the end of a rainbow. I was blessed with curves, that for once in my life, I actually don't want to lose completely. I'm happy to look like a woman. Though yet another cruel joke of nature is that some of those "curves" tend to be the first things to disappear when I do lose weight. And that's sad, because I've loved reading those Ds on the bra tags for the first time in my life.

Anyway, I had a good week. Ate healthy. Stuck to my plan. No snacks. No sugar.

I'll be hopping of the wagon for a brief time at the end of next week, because no one can really expect me to go to New Orleans and not enjoy the best part about the city--THE INCREDIBLE FOOD.

Did I mention I'm going to New Orleans next week?! I'm going to New Orleans next weekend for a long weekend!

I am so excited! Went to school there. Haven't been back for years. This will be the first trip there together for me and Shakey. The first time we've gone away alone with each other in seven (yes, I said SEVEN) years. Cue Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get it On." Oh yeah, and there will be basketball--first and second round of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.

New Orleans, basketball, food and sex...don't hate me!
