The iPod. Never has a "gadget" so effected my life. I am not a tech person by any stretch of the imagination. To be honest - things with wires strike fear into my heart like few other things in this world. But this item - I truly adore. I love downloading a certain song that fits a certain mood. I love making playlists that consist of the most random assortment of music that anyone else listening to it would be like - um - did you seriously just jump from Marky Mark and the Funcky Bunch to Il Divo to Taking Back Sunday? Yes I did - now go away. An iPod is like having control over a small portion of the universe - I love it!
Lipgloss - and I don't mean lipstick. This is the most important make up item I own. It is actually pretty much the only thing that I consistently wear as far as make up goes. I find it hard to believe that I once painted my lips crazy colors like dark brown and red with a waxy, paste-like substance that tasted like dirt. Lipgloss is so much happier and it often tastes yummy. Yes - I know it is sticky and guys can find it irritating - but get over it! Stubble sucks and causes rug burn - we deal with that crap - you can suffer a little lipgloss. 
WINE. Aahhhh - the nectar of the GODS!!! While I am not a wine snob, I have a fond affection for this beverage. I know what I like and what I don't. If it tastes like band-aids or soap - bad! If it tastes like you never want to bottle to end - good!
Oversized Sunglasses. These bad boys can conceal a bad hangover, bad eyebrow wax or bad day. They are essential camoflauge for any woman.
Flip Flops! These things I might actually die without. For me these are seasonless and anyone who knows me knows that I own hundreds of these babies. Maybe because my feet are one of the few parts of my body that I don't loathe! I don't know why, but this foot gear holds a special place in my heart.
Sushi. Relatively guilt free fast food. Yes, I know there are mercury issues associated with this fine cuisine - I just don't currently care. It makes me happy and it does NOT give me heartburn (which pretty much everything else seems to do).Domo arigato!
Flavored Vodka. Love this stuff - it changed my life. I can't really drink beer because I can't burp (a disability I STILL believe should qualify me for handicapped parking), so hanging out in a bar can be difficult. This is how I tasted much of the band-aid flavored wine mentioned above. That was until every self respecting vodka company started producing yummy flavored vodkas. Friday night has never been the same . . .
Crosswords. I inherited this addiction from my Mom. However, while she could do the New York Times Sunday Crossword in like an hour - I can't get past Wednesday most weeks. That said - these puzzles and my iPod are what keep me from going postal on New York City transit each morning.
Starbucks Skinny Lattes. Love these damn things! They enable me to get through the entire work day without taking a nap underneath my desk. Until this country invokes mandatory siestas - I will need these to function in civilized society.* They also make me miss Sissy. Sissy WAS my assistant and IS my friend. Sissy made working at one of the scariest lawfirms around worth every second of pain. The lattes kept me awake - Sissy kept me sane.
E-Mail. I am blessed with a large network of friends that spans the country. They keep me grounded and I love and need them all! Being able to talk with them each day by e-mail truly is a gift!

You introduced me to Raspberry Stoli & tonic. Girly tasting w/o being girly looking. Changed my life. I told you the story about the night I drank every flavor of stoli in a row, right? And Dan was calling me Fruit Salad?
