Every year, my friend Susi participates in Revlon’s Run/Walk for Women. It’s an event to help in the cause to fight women’s cancers, a cause to which she is personally dedicated because cancer touches all the women in her family. I’ve sponsored her nearly every year since I’ve known her, and every year she raises her goal. Even her daughter participates.

I didn’t turn suddenly into a desperate housewife who had to do the gardener or anything, and I managed not to turn this day into my 6th anniversary of my 29th birthday. H.E. didn’t leave me for a younger woman, though he did admit to me that he lusted over a 34-year-old woman yesterday. He’s so totally over it now. I got everything I wanted today. Love. Money.
