So call me redundant, but I must call attention to today's 'word of the day' as displayed by dictionary.com.
"Trencherman= a hearty eater". For some reason this word gives me the utmost delight. Yes, let's celebrate those with a healthy penchant to provide the body with sustenance. Not gorging. Not gluttony. But eating with heart. Enjoying your individual feeding frenzy. I do admit this particular word is too masculine. Let's have a happy word for the female love of food. One that doesn't connote a girl with a problem. Suggestions?

Event horizons
So I decided to make myself a little timeline today — of all the things I need to accomplish in the next six months. I spread out all my goals along the calendar line, leaving a little breathing room between the marks. Because breathing is one thing I often forget to do.
Then I checked my horror-scope. Just because. And dang if my numbers and the astrologer's didn't match up. Sometimes it's so hard not to believe.
"You may have given up on a special deal, or believed that you'd never get a certain promotion or offer that you dearly wanted, but hang on! The days near November 20 may prove that you should still believe in miracles."
[Maybe I will meet that deadline.]
"If you aim for a bigger job and a better title, the eclipse on March 3, 2007, will probably change your career life anyway in a big dramatic way, so wait until then before making any decisions."
[Maybe I will change jobs. But why worry. It'll work itself out.]
"Romantically, December will be your big month, but you will see things start to sparkle now, the moment the Sun moves into Sagittarius on November 23."
[Maybe I will find love... Okay—I added this to my calendar after I read the 'scope. It was lacking spice.]

True Inspiration
We started out slow and now we are going steady. I'm at his place everyday, and you will be too in no time. Guaranteed. I'm still waiting for wikipedia to formally define "Sartorialist". It seems in the realm of dandy, fop or popinjay. The man speaks of pocket squares daily! Sigh. I've fallen for him.
