my favorite thing to drink on a hot summer day

1 water, of course
2 apple juice, which is not all that thirst quenching in the long run
3 smirnoff ice, this is my real favorite but could not be mentioned first in the name of not looking like a drunk
4 strawberry margaritas, which i never make at home and so really only get once in a long while

list 2, my favroite members of the british royal family, in order of preference

1 prince harry
2 prince william
3 prince edward
4 prince andrew
5 the queen
6 prince charles

I do not mention any other royals because they do not qualify for a list of favorites. They are either shuffled down to the list of royals I do not care anything about or, far worse, the list of royals I do not like in any way shape or fashion. Pity the poor royals on that list.

I should mention that I once longed to marry Prince Edward. This was during the time of Diana and Fergie finding their own place within the palace walls (oh how they did enjoy their time there) and I thought it might be nice if I too had a set of rooms therein. I selected Edward because a) he was the only prince left and b) he was available. Then he went and married some girl who looks like Diana anyway and I was left to accept that I would never be a princess after all. Such are the cold realities of life.
