And when I catch up with her in our next incarnation I'm going to do her great bodily harm! Don't forget numerous shopkeepers who bow and scrape and see to your every need and send the bills to your husband to pay!! Me, I can't even get the cashier at Wal-Mart to smile at me and I work there! <br /><br />Thank you for the lovely "fantasy island" moment. Now its back to my revisions and I think there are two litter boxes in this house with my name on them. Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

Round-the-clock child care is at the top of my "must have" list, which would facilitate sleeping (in or at all! LOL!), frequent shopping trips and beauty treatments. If I could just have someone on stand by to pet me and pamper me all day, I'd be a happy camper :) Thanks for taking me on a dreamy trip this morning!Jerrica Knight-Cataniahttp://www.jerricasplace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-43747748697124032512011-03-11T11:45:01.916-05:002011-03-11T11:45:01.916-05:00Lil ~ That sounds wonderful.
