Oh bloggy,
I am so happy to have started you! I've thought of starting a BLOOOOOOOOOG (or "online diary") as my best friend Violet insists upon calling this, for at least 30 months.
Now I will have to think of all sorts of tres amusing episodes and adventures to fill-you up. Where to start???
This week I made a fabulous impulse purchase -- a $44 plastic handbag in the exact likeness of "The Count" from Sesame Street. Its not a necessity, really -- though it is waterproof, durable-looking, and very colorful - and thus almost a practical accessory. I do love practical.

Those who know me might wonder -- Why a "Count" handbag? Do you really have the lifestyle for that kind of accessory?

Well, truth be told ... Nostalgia. The Count was one of the first crushes I had on TV icons ... My current and enduring fixation with Andy Garcia only goes to show you I stay true to "type". Actually, The Count came after Mr. Snuffleupugus -- but who wants a big brown furry handbag ... really!
