For the past week I have been taking my birth control pills one day ahead of schedule. What can I say? I live for the future. I took my Monday pill on Sunday and I took Tuesday's pill today. I'm...
This whole time I've neglected to mention that those surprise earrings I got for Christmas were made by Nat at Evil Eye Emporium. Thanks, Nat! (Thanks also to Cinnamon and Brenda for their help!)...
For details about and stuff I'll be doing in the next couple of months, including a reading in the west suburbs (Chicago) in March....
January I went boot camp crazy: did way too many lunges, squats. Thanks to this stupid page in Feb. you could calculate our mutual hots! In March I blathered on and on about horoscopes, Kirstie, and chick lit. April was...
Maybe you thought your weekend was hot shit, but you weren't riding the CTA Santa Train when it totally derailed. (Again!) And you probably didn't build a Gingerbread Currency Exchange either. Then again, you might have actually gotten all...
For those of you coming here after reading the article on women bloggers in January's issue of Glamour, welcome. More about me here; older entries (including the one quoted in the magazine) are here and here, and yet more of...

Maybe you should buy a Sunday New York Times this weekend. You can buy it other weekends of course, but perhaps you really should buy it this weekend. It’s a very big paper, yes, but you could just read one section… or, you know, whatever.

I'm not sure I know what you mean ;).
Oh well, I guess I'll get the times and figure it out, since you told me to get the times. Are there good coupons? The Sunday comics are usually good. Maybe you want to torture me with the crossword puzzle?
This better be good.
The crossword is really hard this week? Is that it?

Posted by: mykull at November 12, 2005 04:49 PMI love that Big Ben alarm clock (assuming I pinned the right Wendy). Congrats on the article. I'm a total voyeur of people's online lives, and yet it had never occurred to me to look at people's wish lists. Damn you for introducing a new dimension to my online lurking!
Posted by: Tassie at November 13, 2005 04:56 AMYep, Big Ben is the right WMM -- check her profile. (who knew -- Marie!)
Posted by: sPiKe at November 13, 2005 02:08 PMI look at people's wishlists too. But everyone I know is way less materialistic than me (4 pages), so I'm a bit embarassed by mine. I didn't know you could put your fist in your mouth.
Posted by: marianne at November 13, 2005 03:04 PMYou rule. I thought I was the only one who e-stalked my exes' Amazon wishlists, hoping to see they all requesting copies of "Oh My God, Why Did I Act Like Such a Shit to That Amazing Woman?"
So far, no dice.
I also just read "I'm Not the New Me" and it's brilliant. Genius. Brilliant and genius.
Posted by: Sidhedevil at November 13, 2005 04:12 PMGreat article! Congrats! I've never even thought of looking up wish lists. I'm sure now I will become a total junkie, because this using wish lists to spy on people thing TOTALLY sounds like something I would do! Damn you for planting the thought in my head!!
Posted by: Spillwench at November 13, 2005 04:19 PMMarianne--it's the only interesting fact about me!
As for the clock, a friend of mine has one in her guest room (hey Amy!) and I liked how it lights up with the alarm!
Posted by: Wendy at November 13, 2005 04:37 PMCongratulations, Wendy!
Posted by: Ancrene Wiseass at November 14, 2005 03:10 AMOMG! Chris Ware, Elmore Leonard, and YOU!!!!! Congratulations. It would have been a great blog entry--how nice that it's in the Sunday Magazine instead. And to think that just yesterday I was leaving a friend's house in New York and the magazine section was on the breakfast table. If only I'd known to pick it up and say "oh yeah, I know her. She grew up in Oak Park."
Posted by: Ann at November 14, 2005 09:25 AMCongratulations!
Posted by: Tamara at November 14, 2005 02:43 PMWow, NYT Mag! Congratulations!
I love reading other people's wish lists...I think they say a lot about a person. I always wonder what people might infer about me from my wish list. Currently, it appears I am a creatively-frustrated, grammatically-fixated, geeky comic book girl with a penchant for musical theater. Scary.
I am also addicted to searching other people's Wists lists - www.wists.com. It's like window shopping inside someone's head.
Posted by: KellyLove at November 14, 2005 03:23 PMCongratulations, Wendy! And wow, my clock made it into your bedroom AND into the NYT? Exciting! Can I ride the clock's coattails to fame? Do clock's have coattails? Should some metaphors even be attempted, much less stretched to the point where they no longer make sense?
What were we talking about again? Oh yeah, congratulations!
Posted by: Amy at November 14, 2005 05:55 PMI thought I was the only one who went wish list hunting. I feel much better knowing I'm not. :)
Posted by: Jill at November 14, 2005 10:08 PMI haven't been so excited for someone I didn't even know since Herman Cornejo was promoted to principal dancer at ABT (2003). The Sunday Times is a huge deal, and all your friends and fans should be making a huge fuss. Congratulations!!!!!
Posted by: Sarah at November 15, 2005 10:05 AMFinally, they put someone funny on the funny pages! It's about time. I love Chris Ware, but he just doesn't belong in that particular category.
Posted by: sue at November 15, 2005 04:32 PMhee hee! great piece, but now I have another bad habit. BTW, you can order that clock new from, of all places, LL Bean: http://tinyurl.com/3ulv5 (and it works great).
Posted by: Carolyn at November 15, 2005 07:15 PMOh, the siren song of the Amazon wish list... after reading your article, I typed in the name of my high school/college/beyond crush only to find his wish list full of "baby's first year" and "how to get your child to sleep through the night" books. The dream is over! *sob*
Posted by: lisalog at November 17, 2005 01:39 PMI forgot I used to do the same thing!!! Ain't internet salking fun! Love the article! You is my Shero!
Posted by: Fil at November 19, 2005 03:06 AMI love Target and now I have to boycott it. It's easy to stay away from WalMart. This is going to be hard but I'll be strong.
