I dunno who Jamie is (sorry!) – I just read you ’cause my husband said to…wait, no. ‘Cause you read my blog…..no, that’s not it either. Actually it’s because you write interesting things. Pretty simple.

And now I’m even stalking you on twitter.

Wow, thanks so much! (Don’t tell Jamie, because you wouldn’t like her when she’s jealous, but your blog was also a major inspiration for me.)

A “pretend puppy” is the amazing, well-behaved, adorable puppy that my boyfriend and I don’t have. Our building won’t allow it, and we are not yet responsible, or home often enough to have one. And yet, we have long, detailed discussions over who is cleaning up the poop it just made, and who gets to walk it on the cold mornings, and if its disgusting to have a puppy sleep on the bed. Sometimes we name our pretend puppy, and we sneer at dog owners we feel are doing the wrong thing.

(We are insane.)

If Jamie tells me to do something there’s likely to be a good reason – and I like your style Erica!

Comments into double figures already (I’m still to break that barrier!) is a sign that folks wanna hear about your grandma and your towel shennanigans.

One question though, what’s a “pretend puppy”?

I love your blog just the way it is and read it often. Don’t change anything about it! The phrase, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” applies here. I like your blog because I can relate to a lot of what you write about. Keep up the good work!

I love your blog! I read it b/c you are a great writer. I love the page bc it is simple and clean and easy to navigate. It’s late and I am on cough meds so sorry if this is rambly or things are misspelled. I love it b/c you write what you feel and you are passionate about things. And b/c you say things, like this post, that are what I wish I could say! Keep on writing!

This post cracked me up! You totally have THE GIFT. The make-anything-funny gift. The one where you say out loud what we’re all thinking and make everyone else feel a little more human for having read it. I found your blog through Jamie and am definitely bookmarking it! Rock on, girl

The “towels” are why I bring my hot pink beach towel. So that I can keep myself covered because you can’t believe the inappropriate naked that happens in these locker rooms. And trust me, this isn’t like “high school fantasy” naked. It’s just … to much. Then I realize I am walking around with a hot pink towel and attracting attention. Like I am too good for the little white towels. Then, because I am a klutz – I accidentally drop it. And of course since I already had everyone’s attention (in my own head) I am now publicly naked because I had my hot pink towel beacon.
