I'm female, live in NC, used to live in DC and love reading about what is happening there. I miss that version of city life, passing 3 Starbucks on your walk from the metro to work. We have a severe shortage of Starbucks here. I find your writing hysterical and at times gut wrenching and brave. I'm fascinated by blogs in general and people's willingness to share it all with the world. I found your blog through a blog (retired) of a friend/sorority sister Brunchbird or probably someone on her blogroll. It really is like 6 degrees of separation…or in this case maybe 3 degrees. <BR/><BR/>I didn’t post on the book recommendations but I do have a few….the best book I read recently was All the Pretty Horses and also Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim. I'm currently reading A Prayer for Owen Meany and Blue Like Jazz. I like to read in general and that’s probably why I like the bogs so much. Although I am frequently disappointed when a really great blog links to some that aren’t quite as good. I’m not sure if you are one of those offenders or not. <BR/><BR/>Anwyay, please keep it up. Regular posts I'm sure are what retain loyal readers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-49329782694403760672007-07-22T12:22:00.000-04:002007-07-22T12:22:00.000-04:00DCup - Thank you!

Generally easy breazy, and you have some interesting and honest stories- and a totally cool way of looking a the world. You seem to be at peace with your ego. And I don't think you're as cringeworthy as you think- I don't read some blogs because the whole cringyness/unlearniness factor screws up any empathy I have.

My older son is 24 and works on the hill. My younger son is 18, taking a gap year from school, and will work for Citiyear starting in August. So I want to know how others manage, what they think and do, so that I can compare when they talk to me about their day.<BR/><BR/>For breakfast I had typical Texas diner fare, scrambled, bacon, toast and grits.

So periodically I like to "escape" to the internet. Although I've never met you, you come across as a witty, intelligent, interesting, genuinely nice person. You're also honest without going over the top. Any you're perky and cute without being annoying. That's all!<BR/><BR/>P.S. My pet peeve is when a sales clerk is giving you your change, he/she puts the bills in your hand then put the coins on top. My other hand is probably full so I now have to figure out how to get to the coins first without tossing them all over the floor.

I was amazed at how much traffic that link to the emergency shoe post generated. Sorry your boss caught you. I'm so delighted you're a regular reader! And you read good books!<BR/><BR/>Kristin - Ohhh, that's fantastic, and yes, it sounds like we have a lot of overlap. English Patient is my favorite film but didn't love the book - the ending really bugged me. I will check out Last Song of Dusk for sure. I'm so flattered that my blog is a daily read! I have a very dear friend who works at a non-profit focused on the Middle East...I wonder if it's the same one or if you know her. My friend Jen and I went to Proof last week and LOVED it. I will try to come by next week or the following!<BR/><BR/>MI - Ahh, thank you! Yes, your blog does feel to me like it shows who you are, and I like it. And looking forward to the next project!<BR/><BR/>WiB - I won't tell - promise. Thank you! I do try to write the way I speak, and from people who know me in person, they say it does sound like me. You are on a great path - an envious one, even. And thanks for the uh, very realistic suggestion.<BR/><BR/>Justin - Oh, that's sweet! Although I'm trying to figure out why blue would impress more than maroon?<BR/><BR/>D - Oh, that made me laugh. That binder clip thing was ridiculous. And you know I love your dinner.<BR/><BR/>PJ - I'm so delighted to be a daily read, particularly since I do like all the girly things you don't. Thank you thank you!<BR/><BR/>Steve - I feel all growed up now!<BR/><BR/>AtR - Thank you. Some days are better than others, and lately I'm quite busy with other things, but I really like it and I do try!<BR/><BR/>Alex - I haven't been to Minneapolis in years but need to one of these days, and will take some of your breakfast recommendations. My dad is from Duluth, but I haven't been to MN in years. Wow - I'm so excited that you got here so totally randomly and then liked it enough to stay! And yes, ugh, the dating thing.<BR/><BR/>Karen - I'm so glad you come by! We're all voyeurs everywhere, and I totally realize that's part of it.<BR/><BR/>Dr. MVM - Ahh, so many nice compliments!

I lead a very different life than you (married for 15 years with children) so the most appealing part of the blog is where you share the details of your life: I went here, ate that, drank this, wore wigs. <BR/><BR/>I suppose that means blog reader equals voyeur . . . oh well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-81380762876555399162007-07-17T23:17:00.000-04:002007-07-17T23:17:00.000-04:00I'm a teacher and it's summer (but I'm not "summer...I'm a teacher and it's summer (but I'm not "summering" anywhere, except for my non-air-conditioned apartment in Minneapolis), and I keep a blog with my family about breakfast restaurants, because going out to breakfast is an obsession with us. Anyway, one day, while I was obsessing about the grammar in my latest post and wondering when someone would read our blog and decide we belonged in the Big Time already, I hit the "Next Blog" button, because did I mention it's summer and I'm a teacher? I read a post about a cute skirt except that made it look like you had an erection, and I thought, "Oh, yeah, we've all been there," and then you ended the post by proclaiming that if you had a penis, your erection would be much bigger than that, and I thought (as I laughed out loud), "OK, now I didn't expect her to say THAT." Those two feelings have kept me coming back. I come to hear you talk about the things that I experience all the time, and I come to hear your off-kilter and original take on them. I wish I lived in DC so I could go to your blogger happy hours. I feel like I know some of you DC bloggers from the links on the side of your blog. I haven't found any Minneapolis bloggers who do it for me.<BR/><BR/>Alex<BR/><BR/>Oh, and one more reason I keep coming back.
