What was once broken…

September 5, 2005 by Wendy

is now fixed. There were a couple of MT database issues that busted the site for a few days, but things seem to be back in order. A few recent comments that were waiting for approval seem to have been eaten in the process, though.

I can’t say I’ve been doing much besides checking NOLA.com about 10,000 times a day. That, and working to finish up a big honking project involving these things. Hang in there.

    I sure hope the project you’re working is the recipes to all those delicious looking foods! And that you include the current Weight Watcher Points. I cannot wait to make the Jellied Tomato Refresher. Oh boy!

    Hey Wendy! I just finished reading your book (bought it at B&N 2 days ago). Very funny 🙂 Do you like David Sedaris? You guys have a similar sense of humor and writing style… Any more projects in the works?

    Yeah, I’ve been really wrapped up with what’s going on in New Orleans as well. I’m so stressed. At least I can take comfort in knowing George Bush Jr is are leader and will bring everyone together in this time of crisis.

    Have you seen this book, The Thing About Jane Spring?
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0670034177/qid=1126549696/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-8610433-0701741?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

    It’s not weight-focused, but reading the summary I got eerie chills and Jemima J flashbacks. It is the story of a “ball-breaking” NYC attorney whose life is transformed by a Doris Day marathon on TV. Enough said.

    Wendy,
    I just read your book. I bought it at the airport on a quick trip home for my 97 year old Grandmother’s funeral. I love Jennifer Weiner and bought your book without hesitation with her reccomendation on your cover. I laughed outloud several times on the airplane. I love the comments you made on the old weight watchers crds. I also appreciate the full body memory you recalled for me when describing spacefood. I can tast it and can gag on the memory of that gummy texture. What was that shit!!!!!??
    Thanks so much for your book,
    Lauren

    I just finished reading your book and absolutely loved it! I’m also thinking about writing about body image and getting my girlfriends to write some stuff to for an essay compilation. Your book inspired me to get on it and quit slacking off. And by the way…you’re fucking gorgeous! You don’t need to lose weight! But that really means shit because people tell me that all the time and IÂ’m still eating “Atkins advantage” turd bars for breakfast.

    Thanks for your fabulous book
    -Em
