You are funny! I'll miss your posts while I am away...I'm headed to Europe for three weeks...Watch the news....Italy may soon be all out of pasta!:)And my friends all want a picture of me with the pope like you have.:)

Take care!
Amy:)

I intend to retire to the pool with a cool drink - all weekend.

That the pool is a little plastic thing with splashing children in it, and that the pool boy is my 12 year old son . . . these are trivial matters.

I will swealter by the pool whilst the pool boy attends to my beverage needs (tropical iced tea - sans lemon).

Life is good (and hot).

Have a great weekend, sweetie! I'll be posting pictures of my gardening experiments later on this afternoon on my blog. I've planted zucchini.....GADZUKES!

I totally thought the title said "ends with a preposition," and I was real confused for a second.

I wish I could send you some of our rain. We are under a flood watch in Northern Virginia.

I grew up watching Dallas Raines and Johnny Mountain. I was convinced that you had to have some sort of meteorlogical or geological name to be a weather person. I still think it would be quite helpful.

Just wanted to say HAPPY FRIDAY! Here's to a snark-free weekend! (i swear i'm going to make an effort. Maybe.)

Have a great weekend!
I wish my Friday would end with a proposition, but sadly my streak of fabulously bad luck continues and my date for tonight has been cancelled. so i shall lounge on my porch under the ceiling fan with a bottle of wine instead. is it June yet? 'cause May is not working out so hot for me.

I would also gladly share my rain.
I have to camp with girl scouts and it's supposed to rain all weekend. grrrr.

The 88 degrees is considered 'warm,' you know summer's here!

Also - commenter above me with all the insurance? That's just weird.

Dallas Raines is soooo hot. I watched the weather channel in awe this morning as they discussed 134 year old heat records being broken out west, and not just by a degree or two. Yowsa. Or maybe it's Yowza. Anyhoo, stay cool with Dallas, pool and margs. Have a great weekend!

It is good to know that there is someone else out there in the world who gets looked at like she has just grown a second head. I also have had second head syndrom (SHS) on several occasions. As clumsy as I am, you'd think that we'd bonk heads by now.
Anywhoo, have fun this weekend!

Up here in northern Oregon we are supposed to have a high of 99 degrees. A month ago we had snow.

It was 63 here. Again. Also, soggy. Gas, as of 1:00 p.m. was $3.91. I have not noticed a decline in traffic. Our weather man has a pedophile moustache so there will be no propositioning.

Wow. I can't believe you are getting weather in the 100's. Being from the south I can relate but not this early in the season. My sympathies to you and your kitties. At least you can stand in your panties in front of the fridge but they can't. Maybe you could make them some kitty popsicles--you know freeze little bars of Fancy Feast? Sorry--just an idea. Good luck.

My family in California keeps calling or emailing me to let me know exactly how hot it is out there at any given moment. It seems to early in the year for those kind of temps. You must be roasting half to death out there!

That had to be the dumbest movie plot twist ever. Like an alien ship wouldn't have a firewall!

We had roaring hot winds up here (nor cal) night before last, reminded me of LA. I hope you and the kitties stay cool - get out the wading pool. What IS it with these high temps!

Something tells me a career as the weather guy out in L.A. gets kind of boring in the summer. Hot and Dry, Hot and Dry, every single day.

ACK! That sounds like something I would do. My brain just shuts off and I keep talking. Oh well. Hope the fires are easily contained.

You do not have three heads missy! You are southern bred! That's the same thing that happens to me now-a-days. Comment on something in the grocery and bam - your the weirdo who must be ignored at all costs.
In a southern grocery that would have been an invitation to share on granny's hip surgery.
Oh well.

~~we wait expectantly for your next three headed post. :-)

My habit of continuing conversations with strangers has backfired on me a couple times lately, when I've ended up stuck in lengthy talks with crazy people, so I've been staying in my shell this week. However, I'd be happy to take a few of those degrees off your hands - then my stinky indigo vat might start fermenting! It's been too cold. Alas, there will be no dyeing of things blue this weekend. Instead, I have to write this Thing I've Been Avoiding. No propositioning the weather man, either, not even my favourite Calypso-singing weatherman, Hurricane Harold, can make it warmer here any faster.

It's in the 90s here in SJ too. Hot! And its forecast to stay in the high 80s to mid 90s for the next few days. A taste of the summer to come!

If she could not discuss the use of Macs in movies (especially Independence Day) then she probably couldn't offer you any decent conversation anyway!

I love Dallas Raines! Two things I look forward to every evening is checking out what Dallas has to say and what he is wearing and Charlie Gibson telling me " I hope you had a Good Day".

I love my ABC news and weather men.

It's gonna be a little cooler up here in Camarillo, but not by much.

Here in Charlotte NC we have a weather man named Larry Sprinkle! No lie! Have a great weekend. And by the way, the guy that does the traffic is...Jeff Roades

Gawd Laurie, here in Longview, Texas it has been SO freaking mild that the pool sounds like torture. Usually by this time of year we've been in the 90s for several weeks but not this time around. Weird. It even flooded our favorite park(again). I would LOVE for it to be near 90 here, but thankfully it isn't. Our pool is undergoing a make-over and not swimmable for a few more weeks.

Happy Weekend!!

Molly(obviously in east Texas)

Keep the kittehs cool this weekend. I also thought it said, "preposition" not "proposition," but my brain is too hot to read properly. It's 90-ish in Berkeley, and no AC in the office.

Yeah, it's over 100 here in SOUTHERN OREGON (aaaaaaagh!!!) right now. We are not happy, let me tell you. And the irony is that it's even HOTTER on the coast!!

Dang! I think I would die if it were that hot here. The highest it is supposed to get this weekend is 68 out in Boston-land.

I love Jeff Goldblume! I know exactly what you are talking about. :)

If it comforts you any, it's hot all over the west coast and inland... we just went from 50's to 90. Gah!

Dallas Raines grows tomatoes. Maybe you could call him for some garden tips.

Yep, going to be a hot weekend. I could tell this morning by the sound of sirens from PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) that the poor folks from the inlands and valleys are hitting the coast, the Orange Coast, already, and the traffic mayhem has started.

It didn't have anything to do with the plot, Neil. Independence Day was a hit simply because Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith. Eye candy fills theater seats faster than plot ever will!

When I lived in Callyfornya Dr. George Fischbeck ruled.

He taught me what 'inundated' meant.

I loved him.

I also love Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith.

HAWT HAWT HAWT.

You have a POOL????

Train patronage in Melbourne, Australia has gone up 30% in the past year due to fuel prices and people are getting extra grumpy. Forget getting a seat if you are less than 10 stops from the city - it's standing, or rather squeezing room only. They are taking out seats so more people can squeeze on; it's like travelling in a sardine can. Soon we will all be like Japan where they have professional pushers to help squeeze more people into the trains.

My goodness, that's hot.

I'm glad to hear about all those transit users - commuting is so 'green,' you know. ;)

Enjoy your weekend!

Glad to hear that public transport is being used more widely. I hope that the services rise to the challenge as it can only be a good thing for both the environment and congestion.

Glad also that I'm not where you are - I can't cope with that kind of heat. It's a nice cool 12 Celsius over here (about 53 Fahrenheit, I think), which is much more my kind of thing. Certainly easier for knitting.

a) "california brushfires" OY VEY!! We don't have such things around about these parts and my overactive imagination shows me scenes from "Bambi" where all the little terrified animals are running....oh lawsy, stop me now! b) I have to tell you, my dear. Forget that weatherman. He's clearly in cahoots with the Devil. A forecast of 101 degrees ABOVE ZERO? That's not a prediction, it's a *threat*! I think you need to come visit me in lovely Madison. Not so many poolsides for margharitas, but paddling down a beautiful river in about the 74 degree sunshine makes up for it. MOSQUITOES? Who said that?? Shut up and go away, it's nothing but an ugly rumor.

Moats! I think everyone in brush fire zones should dig moats around their homes. Two-in-one: fire protection and an in-ground pool!

Strange for it to be so much hotter in CA than on Florida, where our highs are only in the 80s this week. Stay hydrated, dear!

Just finished your book a couple of days ago and, lord, did I enjoy it! Thanks so much for your gutwrenchingly honest and funny take on a horrible experience and how you emerged from it more YOU than you'd ever been. Brava!

if i were commuting on a bus, i would totally want you for a talking buddy!

i'm free for margaritas, girlfriend, after i torture mckid by making him play baseball in the heat.

Okay, I have to contribute! In Minneapolis, we have a weather person called Sven Sungaard...how very Norweigan!

Wow, you are spooky...I just watched Independence Day yesterday...we could have chatted for days...

If you want a change of pace you can join us here in the north-central valley, it was 106 degrees yesterday (friday). Fun with heatstroke !!! Bring on the frappuccinos (sugar-free and light, of course!)
Now all the cities are going to have to figure out mass-transit planning with on-the-job training. Let's hope.
Maybe we will fix global warming before we all croak, or the oil runs out.
Sorry, I didn't mean to be Miss Gloom and doom today, usually I'm quite optimistic.
It's the heat !!!
My daughter's had her eye on a kiddie pool, but that would involve going outside, and me and the cats ain't doin' that!
Stay cool!!!

If only! If only the temperature would get anywhere close to 68 or 70 F. I'd be outside planting my garden. It's such a cool, wet spring that I'm trying to talk my self into gardening when it's only 50 F. The crows will be right behind me picking out the seeds I've just planted, but maybe they'll miss a few. Turn on your fan, point it northeast and send me some heat. Please.

Please have LA send Chicago a note that it's now the middle of May. Thanksloveyoubye.

Let me say that some of those days look just like our forecast, and we are MANY hours north of you in NW Oregon, and for the record, that is just WRONG! I did my time in SoCal; give me back my Oregon weather!

I came across your blog a few months ago I think when I was searching for a baby hat pattern. I had vaguely meant to read your book if I came across it and lo and behold while I was catsitting (of course) I came across a copy and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I think I should write a prequel: Sober, Single, and Covered in Cat Hair.

Late spring is already here, I no longer envy you for your weather.
High in the 50's with rain today, 70's by the weekend in NY's capitol. BTW, I'm not wearing the proper shoes for rain. :(
