I love your list. It's like having a mini conversation with you :) The photo of your cat is GORGEOUS. It really should be a postcard or something.

I read Zinsser in a college magazine writing class almost 20 years ago. I should re-read it!

Wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much I love your website and your handiwork. All of your items are so inspiring! Thank you from my children as well as myself for making our Christmas holiday lots of fun with all of your ideas. We loved them!

Wishing you a great new year. We'll be looking at your site often.

Hi Bella,
I found your site featured on Typepad, while I was entering a post.
Your work is lovely. Also, the movie Mrs. Palfray at the Claremont is a 10.
Wishing you a happy New Year!

Oh, what a lovely list and your kitty, too. I have lists, too, and some of the items look similar.

Posted by:Amber | 01/11/2008 at 06:52 PM

Your cat is beautiful!!

We use Netflix too. We get 3 at a time and have seen a lot of movies. It's one place to get BBC films and TV series. I am a BIG LOVE fan... have seen it on HBO. We adored Mrs. Palfrey at the Clairmont. Jim Jones freaks me out.

We just completed the BBC series HUSTLE. Really got a kick out of it.

Thanks for sharing your goals... motivates me.
