p.s. I COVET your amazing bacon shoes! I’m a serious bacon worshipper and have always maintained that I would eat anything with bacon on it — including an old shoe. Luckily, yours are new, but I think you might be my anthropomorphizing solemate. (Sorry, couldn’t resist the pun!)

Who’s peeking out from under a stairway
Calling a name that’s lighter than air
Who’s bending down to give me a rainbow
Everyone knows it’s Windy

Who’s tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees
Who’s reaching out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it’s Windy

And Windy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds, above the clouds

Who’s tripping down the streets of the city
Smiling at everybody she sees
Who’s reaching out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it’s Windy

34milepizza — I wish she would get a friend, too. A brand new bag that would get stuck close enough to her that they could chat a bit. Windy could give the new bag the lowdown on everything.

Michelle Gartner — Calimari. That’s a good one. Yes, she’s looking pretty limp out there. Despite that, I’d recognize her anywhere.

this old man — Two years in March. Make sure you come back around then for an update. There will be another party and another cake, no doubt. Not kidding.

Jessica — We were very worried too. My coworker and I panicked a little today because we couldn’t see her from a certain stairwell. But then we found her and calmed ourselves down. This winter will be very hard on Windy. Pray very hard she survives.

Aside from the decomposition angle, another newsworthy national story could be about the obsession a bunch of people have reading updated blog posts about a plastic bag.

Sue — Nothing would make me happier. I actually did try to get her on CNN at least, but they never wrote me back.

Abbey R — I’m going with silent glee.

Sue — I feel like Windy really is the symbol for hope. Strange as it sounds. Great observation!

Maureen — Don’t ask her that! I was on the verge of a breakdown this summer. I guess if she makes it to two years, I’ll be happy. Daisy kills me.

Shieldmaiden1196 — You put it so well. That’s exactly how I feel too. Sniff.

LaTonya — Yes she is. Mmmmm, coooookie!

Jeff — It’s funny. I’m not even sure she’s biodegrading. Just splitting into pieces. I’m glad you liked the music for that. I’ve had it in my head for days and I don’t mind it.

grannyann — I figure her strips will get whipped so bad this winter, all she may have left is what’s wrapped around the branch. But then you never know. She’s surprised me more than this.

Jenn Thorson — Yes, it says everything about it. Which is why I’m trying to get mainstream media to pick up the story. There’s still hope for that.

Crickey!
