LET GO MY EGGO! 
That darn mouse I shot with the squirt gun a few weeks ago got me back! I got up this morning after convalescing the last 3 days from, I guess, the flu……drug myself downstairs and walked into the laundry room, opened the dryer and damn if that mouse didn’t just roll out onto the floor right in front of me! He was deceased, of course. I believe he was wrapped up in some sheets that were clean and folded on the shelf next to the washer/dryer, and last night before going to bed, I had the bright idea to throw them in the dryer with a dryer sheet and freshen the bed up after being sick. Well, that went over like a lead balloon as after I turned the dryer on, I laid back down on the couch and fell asleep…..so this morning, waaaaa laaaaa! He got me good! (One less mouse in the house, yah!)
Through my fevered hazed stupor, I caught up on alot of sleep, and while sleeping I had the television on to keep me company, being by myself all day. I asked Marvelous when he got home night before last, “is there really an Eggo Waffle shortage or did I dream that?” He quickly responded with concern, “yeah there really is a shortage of waffles!” He then reported that a warehouse in Atlanta flooded and created this national shortage. I quickly responded to put his poor mind at ease, “don’t worry, I own a waffle iron.” That calmed him down.
There seems to be this “vampire” craze on all the networks due to the premier of ”New Moon” the second part of the Twilight series. Every network has their version of sexy, pubescent blood suckers to appeal to the masses that the above mentioned phenomenon has created. I kept hearing in my subconscious sleep, “are you Team Edward or Team Jacob”? I woke up thinking, “yeah, I want to be on a team with vampires, or worse yet, vampire lovers?” I don’t know about you folks but I will take Dr. Frankenfurter, the sweet transvestite from the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW ANY DAY! 
Just wait thirty some odd years from now and see if “Twilight” is still packing in those theatres at midnight, huh? No way! We will still be doing the TIME WARP in our wheelchairs, so there! I must say that my daughter, Becca is attending the premier of New Moon tonight at midnight and more power to her and her friends. I am all for her following the fun of a cult movie classic and I am glad she has gotten caught up in the craze. I will worry if she starts wearing fangs though……. THAT WOULD BE REALLY CREEPY BECCA! 
Although I had all of this daytime entertainment on the tube to occupy my time, it is rather helpless laying there not able to get up and move when you know your bank account is overdrawn! (Thanks Lysa for covering me, what would we do without our girlfriends?) Poor Marvelous had to go to town for me and get medicine, ginger ale and soup; he was a very good nurse. He is rather fearful of contracting the bug and he is keeping me at arms length, literally. Oh well, at least that is temporary. When I talked with Lysa tonight, I thought I would share with her all of the news headline updates that I had obtained and when I got to the story about Sara Palin’s daughter’s ex posing in Playgirl, she told me, “Honey, that is oooold news.” Shucks, I thought I had a scoop there. Then I surprised her with Oprah’s latest guest (no, not Sara Palin) JENNA JAMISON! She hadn’t heard about that one! Oprah did a whole show on women and porn. It seems that a new Nielson poll for the internet shows that 1 out of 3 viewers of pornography on the internet are women. So even if I am not a porn viewer that means out of my 6 closest girlfriends, 2 of them are! Oprah’s advice to viewers is, “next time you are out with your girlfriends, bring it up by asking, “Girl, do you watch porn on the internet?” She said we would be amazed by the responses! I can’t wait til our next girls night out! This has given me something to look forward to when I get well. Well, that is all the NEWS for now. Hope you all stay healthy through the Holiday! (As I am closing out this post my inner monologue is saying, “Dr. Frankenfurter is freakishly sexy.” Oh no, is that considered porn ya think? I just might fall into that new statistic!)
