undefined method 'ContactLists' for ConstantContact::Contact #9

When i try to obtain ContactLists from a Contact which got with ConstantContact::Contact.find_by_email(email) it respond "undefined method 'ContactLists' for ConstantContact::Contact" but when i use this with a Contact recently saved it works successfully

The example at the bottom of the README notes that lookups by email don't return a complete Contact:

c = ConstantContact::Contact.find_by_email('jon@example.com')
@contact = ConstantContact::Contact.find(c.int_id) # Because Constant Contact doesn't return a full contact when searching by email

It would be nice to see the object automatically make the second find call if the data is not yet defined.

The two calls have different use cases. This could be documented better, but I don't think the code should be changed.
