Sweet Diary. $ How are you today? I'm in such a good mood! Do you remember that cutey blue Dolce dress I told you about the other day? Roberta from Dolce & Gabbana called me last night (all the way from Italy!!) to tell me they were gonna send it to me as a gift. Isn't that wonderful?! I'm delighted, can't wait for it to arrive! It will be the perfect dress for theNew ' Yorkers for Children Fall Gala'. Ken sent me some roses this morning with an invitation to the event :$ Also a reason why I'm in such a happy mood. He wrote the sweetest text ever! It read: G ' eorgous B, I would only want to go there with you. Love Ken'. He called me georgous!! Isn't he just the best thing? I immediately called Tinsley. She and Dabney will be going to, so it should become a really good night. By the way, I haven't heard from Ken in two hours. Maybe I should call to see if he is ok..? Anyway, the gala is in three weeks. I should call Bob Greene, really need to get back in shape. I'm starting to feel a bit worried about those lovehandles. I felt sick this morning when I looked in the mirror, didn't like what I saw there. Don't tell anyone though, currently I'm hiding it under a big sweater. A few workout with Bob will work wonders I hope. But Gossip Girl is about to start so gotta dash! By the way, you look great today!!! Much love, BARBIE $
