.1.T just celebrated her birthday and has officially become the first of us girls to enter our Carlsberg Years.

.2. Speaking of which, I am starting to notice a change in my own life as I approach the official entry in to…

For example, saw ‘Must Love Dogs’ and noticed something. It was called ‘Jake’.

Found myself mysteriously and tremendously drawn to the character. Do believe it has everything to do with the fact that his lines very nearly made me collapse a lung.

Erm. Think I should be wooed by the scriptwriter rather than the character?

Perhaps; but only if the writer is 6’something”, with a circle for a mouth and is at his sexiest with floppy hair and in an inviting sweater.

Aside: If a man can make me laugh hysterically, they are halfway to ensuring shall hide around corners and follow them about (with a toothbrush & a lamp…because you just never know).

Just kidding.

Not really.

Well, ok, I am.

(Anyway, Jake = John I-too-would-force-him-to-pull-over-and-let-me-drive-and-have-I-mentioned-he-can-wear-the-shit-out-of-a-sweater? Cusack.)

.3. In the film ‘Must Love Dogs’ aforementioned Fox meets Diane Lane via on-line dating. We were discussing what we would place as our…handle…call sign…that one-liner that’s supposed to get men’s (in my case, anyway) attention.

I said mine would read: “Daddy?”

No one thought that was remotely funny.

I, on the other hand, am still laughing…and people on the street are starting to stare.
