I’ve been very naughty about reading blogs lately, but I intend to get back into the habit of cruising my blogroll daily so I can stay on top of what’s happening in my favorite folks’ lives. (Sleep? Who needs sleep?) So, here’s what nine of you have been up to lately:

1. Michele wants you to give her the bird… recipes, that is.

5. David wants to know if you’d vote for a Vampire for President. Frankly, I figure they’re going to bleed us dry regardless, so it might be nice to know what I’m getting up front for a change.

6. Chaz has come over to the dark side: those of us who turned the heat on before November. (Pity the child who “Trick or Treats” as Al Gore on my doorstep this Halloween.)

6. As a mother, let me just say now that I am far too busy to find time to rule the world.

7. You say “conspicuous consumer consumption” like it’s a bad thing. Oh, wait….

1. The greatest songs of all time that really aren’t that great.

2. Hillary changes her tune… by 2 percent.
