It's chilly this morning. I may have to turn off the A/C for a few hours.So what's new, other than the fact that Wheezus is boring and neglectful?

Thank you.I just didn't feel like making the appointment, because I waited too long, and I knew his schedule would be full, but if I called he would suggest fifty million other options, none of which would have worked because our schedule was so tight, and I would have felt bad that he tried so hard to fit me in, and then he would be

What has Wheezus done lately, you are wondering.Well. I'm working on final edits of my novel. Which is quite nearly done, or totally done, or far from done, depending on what day you ask me. In my spare time, I am learning how to go about getting it published. I spend my evenings reading from pseudonymous literary agent Miss Snark's blog. But my day is not complete without a dose of Evil Editor.

I? Love Disney's High School Musical.And at this very moment, my children, ages 12 and 9, are watching Sesame Street (I know, I know) and we've discovered that Ernie has no nipples. Also, it pleases me to hear Elmo sing "Figaro".Now you.In other news, I heard that Lois Lowry's Newbery Award winning novel, "The Giver", is being made into a movie. This is one of the best YA books I've ever read.

consternated about the Brady Bunch house.Picture it with me. Not from the photos at the above link, but in your mind as you remember it from the tv show.If you are inside the house, on the driveway side is the family room with the slider door, right? Then the kitchen, with Alice's room. Which is a really strange place to find a bedroom, isn't it? On the other side of the kitchen is the dining

I know you are dying to know how Peep is doing.Day 11 of the Peepsaga: He is still trapped in my backyard, walled in, so to speak, and unable to clear the 6-foot concrete barrier. However, he has managed to conquer the tiki torch, and the outdoor fireplace. In fact, he falls into the fireplace from the space at the top of it, and can't get out unless I leave the grids open. For some reason, he

PEEPDATE #1: Peep is still in my backyard. He cannot fly, but he can hop. He hops along one wall, staying in the shade. Mommy and Daddy Mockingbird still bring him food all the time. As long as he doesn't jump in the pool, I think he'll be okay. So the birds are procreating profusely in my backyard. The mockingbirds made a nest in the north tree. I always wondered what a baby mockingbird sang.

I just know you've been sitting around wondering where Wheezy is. Well, I've been under the bed with the tuna. And I'll tell you why.The Bird flu has arrived to the US, right in my back yard, in fact. So far we've had three dead birds.Okay, 2 dead birdies, one was not much more than an embryo. But still, a very serious situation.Here's the thing: the first two birdies were tiny babies, and were

I know you've missed her.She and dad were planning on coming to visit again last week, but lo and behold, my dear, sweet, wonderful, loving sister took one for the team and decided to have 30 gallstones (just like an 86 year old grandma, not that we're mentioning that to her) right around the time the Glennie was planning on starting the big journey to the southwest.

It's rare when Phoenix has a snow day. It didn't actually snow in the city. If you wanted to physically touch the snow, you had to elevate yourself about 1000 feet or so. But if you were good with just looking at it's delicate, frosted cinnamon roll appearance on Superstition Mountain, all you had to do was step out into the driveway.Here's a shot from my driveway yesterday.

When's the last time you've been pleasantly surprised by the service you've received from an online shop (or a store in your own neighborhood, for that matter)?A few days ago, through Amazon.com I ordered a few items from this place called Third Choice. It's basically a small skater's shop run by a team of skateboarders. Yesterday I got an email from them saying one of the t-shirts I ordered was

This was fun. I have been to 30 states. How about you? Click on the link below to find out. (yeah, I guess I'm a little bored today.)On edit: Okay, I took the silly map down so T-box can find her link to the Survivor and TAR blogs. Sorry to those who use IE -- I didn't realize it was messing it up that badly. Carry on.

Your silence is deafening. Let's change the subject. Hmmm...Hey, did you hear about Mississippi and their new abortion ban? Oh, it's getting fun now. No? How about we talk about how cute 'chicken little' Kevin is on American Idol. Isn't he such a little darling? He could be my kid. I think that's why I like him. He looks like he'd be a nice kid to have around.Hey, who's quitting smoking next?

Carl Sheeler needs your help. I know Carl Sheeler from a message board. He's running for Senate in Rhode Island as a progressive Democratic candidate against Republican incumbant Lincoln Chafee. I know, I know. You don't live in Rhode Island. But if you are frustrated by the state of our country and want change, we can do it this fall -- we can elect Senators and Representatives who will stand

You are such cool friends. Another wise person I know said quit for 10 more minutes. :)Still hanging in there on day 6. You should see the list of prizes I'm promising myself. We may have to go into debt over this. I got my Werther's. I have some super pepperminty gum, which helps a lot, though I'm not real fond of smacking gum all day and it hurts my jaw. And I've started scheduling things to do

This quitting smoking is bullshit. I hate it.I have found that this time of day, from about 5pm until 8pm or so, is the absolute worst. Luckily I have people who have taken the time to distract me these last few days during this time especially, since Mr. Wheeze has been extremely busy this past week and hasn't been home during this particular time of day since I quit. So I am thankful for you,

In the past week, new flames rose in the bellies of Americans who felt lost in the eyes of their representatives. The fire turned to action for thousands of the complacent, and refreshed the hearts and souls of the already passionate. In the past week, I saw people come together to offer kindling for each others’ fires in solidarity, and a new light, for perhaps the first time this century,

"I'm going to attempt to quit smoking, and there's a drug I heard about that can help with the cravings," I said.Silence."I think it's called Zyban, or Welbutrin," I went on.Silence."I was wondering if Doctor B-- would give me a prescription for it."More silence, followed by, "Not without seeing you.

I don't eat breakfast. No, no I don't.Except when Ilse the southern cook and The Landru cook me some eggs over easy, with bacon. And today, they are not here to cook for me.I have some eggs in the fridge. The date on the egg carton says Dec. 16, 2005. Do you think they are still good? Because I may have to make me some eggs.
