I love this wine holder.  It’s so awful and bad, it’s great.  It’s also an exact replica of Stevie and Macy, so I love that too.  I bought this tacky ass wine holder in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, home to  Dolly Parton’s Dollywood… I bought it proudly — and now it’s displayed prominently in my apartment. I mean, come on.  It’s hilarious.  And everyone who sees it, laughs and takes a photo of it.  It’s too damn good.

I had new shelves installed today.  The cat wine holder is now perfectly placed right in the middle of the shelving cabinet.  It’s so awesome and awful all at once.  I’m just assuming my friends will all know what its signifigance is — and why it’s cool, not tacky.

There are other things on these shelves worth pointing out.  The big Buddha candle, being one.  My cousin Kim gave that to me years ago when I was promoted to Vice President of publicity for Peanuts.  I really wanted a big Buddha candle, as did her journalist husband Alistair, and one time when we were in London together, she refused to let Ali and I buy a big Buddha candle. The Buddha candle was something like 100 pounds — and in her right mind, she knew that was way too expensive.  Ali and I were not in a logical state at the time, and we were really mad at her for not letting us buy the big Buddha candle.  Fast forward, a year later, this Buddha candle showed up at my apartment as a congrats for my promotion — thank you, Kim.  I love it, even though my asshole cat Lou knocked it over and his nose and ear is a bit mushed.  Still, I think it’s super cool. Big Red Buddha man.

The tall bright green thing is a cat I bought in Buenos Aires after an amazing Patagonia hiking trip with Jeannie and friends.  I love my Argentine cat.  It’s paper mache and happy. And came from a cool store in Palermo, Buenos Aires.

The two green pears are my attempt to be Feng Shui.  If you know anything about Feng Shui, you’ll know why two pears might be good karma. I can’t be bothered to explain.  Go do your own research.  And the books on the shelves, well the books are the ones I kept after lugging the rest of my assortment to Housing Works. There are two signed by Andy Cohen up there.  Two from Scott Adams (Dilbert) and a few from other Peanuts VIPs…..

And yes. I know I named Voldemort the other night and that was a big deal.  Just briefly, I let my followers know his name, and I sent him the link so he could see it.  He didn’t respond of course  since I was trashed by him and probably never thought of again after he did that.  It felt good to get Fucker’s name out there…I really hate him and will never forgive him for what he did to me.  But the next day I thought about it, and was thinking about it too much — so I deleted it.  As my friend Liz pointed out, the whole point of this blog is to tell my journey to you all– and my getting over this thing– this thing I’m going through.  Thinking about Fucker too much was enough for me to know I needed to delete it.  He’s not worth another minute of worry since he is a terrible, awful person.

But I’m glad that those of you who read it, now know his name.  Fucker is a Fucker!  Also — sorry, I was in Hawaii last week and didn’t post. I know a lot of you were pissed at me for no updates.

Thanks for sticking around!
