grats

1. Craigslist (not just for getting good band equipment, FYI)
2. The inventors of the swing dance.
3. Padded bras and teeny-tiny, mostly see-through panties--for the confidence boost.
4. Ditto for Gilette for making the Venus shaver.
5. Carlo Rossi and his winery.
6. The makers of "The Black Dahlia" for creating a movie so boring, that people are pretty much forced to make out, if only for sheer entertainment value.
7. Serta.
8. Thought I'd never say this: Duran Duran, for the soundtrack.
9. The Trojan company, for their fine, fine product.
10. And, mostly, for the Dancing Civil Engineer (now, my boyfriend), for being a very sweet, very kind, very wonderful lover.
