Cortland Fitzgerald

THAT is the name of Cory, who I've developed quite a little crush on lately. Hmm. We spent a good half hour on the phone this evening, chatting away about nothing. He's going out to sushi now. I've forgotten what it was like to date guys in my own age range. Very cute. he drives, too, which is rare in New York, AND he;s Catholic, which of course means he and Jen will get along well. Obviously, Chas will see him as one of "his" people, I mean come on; Cortland Fitzgerald. Wow. Doesn't get more Irish than that.

Was at the birthday party for Michael and Julia all day. He actually spoke to me! He's such a cute kid. I'm not sure if he knows I'm his godmother, but at least we're talking. He liked his Thomas the Tank Engine outfits, too. He didn't understand that his twin's birthday is his birthday, too... He kept telling me "Julia's Birthday!!!" Crazy... she is such a diva. I love it.

And Jen was on her best behavior even though I wore an outfit I know she hates to see if it would provoke her. I'm so bad. I wore the gauchos she so scorns and had an exposed thong to see what she;d say. She made a frown when I arrived but kept quiet. She even bragged about me to Margie, Grandma's best friend since like 1930. It was crazy. I didn't think the woman had anything positive to say about me. And I was surprised she bragged about aspects of my life I could never see her finding the good in; I mean we're so different; it's good to see her finally accepting me. It's never going to be perfect, but at least there is a peaceful coexistance.

So many blessings before London! Bridget's mother had a new baby, a girl named Kelly with red hair already! I love it. All three; redheads! So cute.

So now just hanging around needing to do work laundry.

Umm... Have i mentioned I consumed... erm, four thousand calories today?! Dinner with the Italians is crazy... not to mention the birthday cakes... oh, yes... Casey was doing CAKES today. One for each twin!

BAD!
