I'm actually pretending that Valentine's Day is sometime next week, since I won't be back in Atlanta until nine tonight. But we have three bottles of wine at home, and that's all the Valentine's Day I need (well, that and sonme sweet tarts).

More about Miss America (For H): well, yesterday I felt a little guilty. Miss America had her breakdown yesterday morning and was all sobbing and running makeup, but she sure enough turned it on for the tv interview and the breakfast. And she really was so poised and articulate - I thought I had me shit together at age 21, but after seeing her, I clearly didn't. She's small - only 5 foot 2 - and she's not a big-hair at all (she wore it slicked back in a low ponytail). But she was all frayed nerves. Well, come to find out when I read the paper this morning, she and the Miss America org aren't getting along all that well. So, I feel less guilty for her having to run all over the place for PhRMA.

Mike, I loved your entry. Yay!

Thanks! She still has to say yes when the time comes, you know.

But things are definitely going well.

Mike, Mike. Of course she'll say yes.

Do all guys worry about that? Seriously, I think that if you thought she'd say no, you'd no. She'll absolutely say yes.

What? Mike, don't be ridiculous. She'll say yes! Who wouldn't?

Are y'all really here today, or did you post all of the above in the middle of the night?

I"m here. But I'm leaving at noon.

And Mike, don't be silly.
