Lisa Yee's Spring Peep Show-A-Palooza!!!
And now, for the event you've all been waiting for . . . Lisa Yee's SuperSpecialSensationaSpring-PEEP-Show-A-Palooza!!!

It began at Rite-Aid where Son checked out this season's Peeps . . .

We got our stash . . .

Sigh. To our dismay, the Peeps could not play well together, and started fighting . . .

The deliquent Peeps decided to settle it in Kitchen Arena sans weapons (uh, I only had one toothpick). Each brought their pals to rumble with them . . .

The battle got ugly . . .

And uglier . . .

The Peeps were so ashamed that it had come to this . . .

Not even Puppy knew how to react . . .

Then, one brave Peep shouted, "Why can't we all get along?"

And so they did . . .

It was a beautiful sight as they waltzed round and round together . . .

Past Peep Shows . . .

The Best Peep Show Ever

Poppin' Pumpkin Peeps

Peeps Do Battle (My personal favorite.)

And here's a Peep/Library saga that's hysterical.

In non-Peep news, I will be interviewed LIVE on the national Jack Roberts radio show this Thursday at 5:30 a.m. Hahahahahaha.

Oh. Sorry. When first contacted I thought it was at 5:30 PM. "No problem!" Then when I realized it was A.M., I started to freak out. I AM NOT A MORNING PERSON. So, if you're listening, and if I am babbling nonsensical things, you will no why.

Also, I'm gearing up for my San Francisco and Denver SO TOTALLY EMILY EBERS book tour. Click here for some dates and places.

Happy Peeps to you too! Did you know that Target has exclusive RED ones? I had to get a couple of boxes of those.
Better your kitchen than mine.
Peeps are not good for Puppy and she knows it.
Congrats on your radio interview.
I am not a morning person either, so I understand but I'm not getting up for you either.
Why doesn't anyone come to Arizona? Come to Phoenix Lisa and I'll make you pizza with Peeps on it! We have book stores, honest.

Clearly, you are a night person, too. It's almost 1:30 a.m. here. It must be later in Phoenix.

Thanks for the Red Peeps tip. I had no idea!!!

This half of the year, you and I are in the same time zone. So, it's 1:30. We should both be asleep. sigh. (confession, I'm not writing, I'm playing Insaniquarium until I get sleepy)
The red Peeps are pretty cool, weird, but cool.

The Miami Herald had a contest for decorating Peeps. My personal favorite was Dali Peeps, which showed a bunch of Peeps melting over clocks. Close second was Peeping Tom (a Peep, labeled "Tom," looking through a dollhouse window).

Happy Easter!

I don't know if I could justify flying out to California for a book signing. However, I would move the earth to come see you do your Peep Show live. Wait a second...that sounded lewd.

Love the Peep Show! My son says that plastic cocktail toothpicks work even better than the wooden ones.

Hope you're not too peeped to enjoy Easter! :-)

Glad I could arrange your audience with the Pope.

Babbling nonsensical things is what you do best, so I'm sure you will be a smash hit. I hear from a certain group of Disco Mermaids that you're also appearing at SCBWI LA writer's day. How very fun!

Yep, I'll be at Writer's Day. My topic is "Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me?" (or hazards I wish I could have avoided on my way to becoming an author.)

Hmmmm . . . now all I have to do is write my speech!

Looking forward to hearing it. I thought having to leave the house at 7:15 AM next Saturday was bad, but not as bad as a 5:30 AM interview...

I was SO glad to awaken (NOT at 5:30 AM) to be greeted by the Easter Peep-a-Palooza! You never disappoint! And did you plan that the cover of E.E. would TOTALLY color coordinate with Easter Peeps? Didja? Genius. xo - Sally

The Easter Bunny left my 4 & 6 yr olds big chocolate eggs with Peeps hiding inside :) He also left a whole box of them for my mom...must not have had her address! The only problem is that my 6 yr old ate all but 3 and has a belly ache now...

Good question. I'll find out and let you know!

I don't know -- that ring of peeps with the pink center really looks a lot like a Georgia O'Keeffe painting.

By the way, speaking of Peeps, I'm working on a special surprise for you. But I'm not sure when I'll be able to do it. :-)

The Washington Post had a great Peeps diorama contest:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/05/AR2007040501976.html

Only a few of the entries are in the article, but if you click on "Photo Gallery" at the top, you can see all of them. My son's favorite was "May the Peeps Be With You."

You harmed the peeps!
However, looking at that seething mass of sugar makes me think that peeps would make good s'mores. Ever try it?
Today is a happy day- the day that Peeps Everywhere go on SALE for half price! Get 'em while you can, before the 4th of July ones come out!

Okay. That does it. Next year, I'm doing a diorama. Unless I have a book due or something.
