Return from the Bender, and Now Stranded

So you might have noticed my absence from my regular shift here at the Smartini bar. Luckily, the other wenches were kind enough to serve up plenty of good stuff in my absence - and not give me too hard a time about being off on a "blogless bender" of sorts. And now, I'm back, trying to get over my blog hangover and now I'm stranded on this desert island with...

1. An Endless Supply of Romance Novels - I mean, let's face it: the beach is the best locale for breezing through these mindless paperbacks. So if I'm stuck, I want to have stacks and stacks of books with covers like this.

2. Diet Coke - I admit it: I'm a Diet Coke-aholic. I love it! Ice cold, refreshing. I'll definitely need to have a mini-fridge well-stocked with my favorite beverage.

3. Something to Write With - Preferably a laptop, but if I've got pen and ink, I'll take it. I think if I couldn't write down what I'm thinking in some form or fashion, I'd go totally mad. Forget all the best books in the world and a flowing fountain of Diet Coke - if I can't do more than write SOS in the sand, I'm a goner.

4. i-Pod - Is life without David Gray really worth living?

5. Manicure Set - I might be able to rock the Rastafarian natural look. I could find a lagoon to bathe in and scent myself with island lavender. I'll chew some tropical tree bark to freshen my breath. But if I can't keep my nails short and trim, I'll scratch my eyes out.
