You know, I knew I was in for a tough battle in trying to get a date with George. I knew many, many actresses (and other women I'm sure) were lined up and ready to do whatever it takes to get close to him, but now my competition has taken an unexpected turn -take a look at the newest gal who wants to meet George:

In People magazine this week, in an exclusive interview, Abby Cadabby - the newest Muppet resident of Sesame Street, said that she'd love to meet George. "He has a potbellied pig and I've always wanted to adopt one," she says. "I hope he can come visit us at Sesame Street one day."

Yeah, I bet she does. She's trying to get to him through his pig that conniving little fairy! Why didn't I think of that? If I was to do that I suppose I'd need to rethink the pork I just had for dinner...

I am shocked to have just read in the New York Daily News (a sketchy news source at best) that George and actress Ellen Barkin are an item.

George, George, George - say it ain't so! And Ellen, you had your shot with a hot actor, (she's divorced from Gabriel Byrne - the handsome Irishman from "The Usual Suspects") and the rich older man - Revlon CEO Ron Perlman. C'mon Ellen, you gotta give a sister a chance here!

Days have gone by but alas, no word from George - yet. I have not given up I have many weeks until my birthday in November for him to come through.

In the meantime I have been getting lots of support and encouragement from many people - including my mom, who cut out a quote of George's from Reader's Digest:

"I know love at first sight can work. It happened to my parents."

So now that I know George believes in love at first sight, all I have to do is get a sighting.

I wonder if it counts if their first sight of you is a picture of your head stuck on Brad Pitt's body? Let's hope he's got a good sense of humor and imagination.

See? Even back in high school we looked completely adorable together! We'll just ignore the fact that since I'm five years older than you, you would have been in seventh grade when I was a senior.

Here we are on a dinner date. I'm loving my pink sweater - and being with you of course!

A big thank you to the king of all bloggers, Trent, at pinkisthenewblog, for his great shout out for my blog. Thanks to him lots more people are visiting the site and I'm sure it's just a matter of time before George comes calling! Thank you Trent!

OK, so there was a piece I read recently online about suitable dates for George. In my opinion none of the ones chosen, except the last are right.

Here's the list:

Uma Thurman:

Uma has little kids - for a guy who doesn't want kids that could be a problem. Does George REALLY wanted to be tied down? I don't think so. Bachelors and young children? Not a good mix.

Pam Anderson:
Pam just married Kid Rock - she's not available -but wait six months and she might be.

Heidi Fleiss:
Heidi Fleiss?? "The Oscar Winner and the Madam"? Sounds like a Lifetime movie title to me.

Ann Coulter:
Pahleese! She an arch conservative, and really mean!

Hilary Swank:
She may be a fellow Oscar winner, but I don't see it.

Emmy Rossum???
The "Phantom" star is a child - 19-years-old. I think it's a good bet to stick to over 30.

Candace? Possibly. Potentially best-selling author, good sense of humor, liberal political leanings, not completely unfortunate looking...she seems like a very safe bet.

Who needs a pal like Brad Pitt when we could lunch together?!

I love riding on the back of your bike George! But oops! Where's my helmet? The wind will ruin my hair!
