I got your book a few years ago (advanced reader copy, I love having friends who work in bookstores) and have been determined to look up your blog. And I will admit that, even though I'm just a high school student (I know, I should be studying, but she's just so FUNNY), I have very much enjoyed all that you have written that I have been privy to. It has gotten to the point, recently, that I will be laughing out loud in the library at school, which is frowned upon. But as a babysitter, Simone makes me smile, and the rest of your life makes me fill with anxious glee. Namely, the anxiety comes from thinking "Oh my God. Am I going to be this woman someday?" which is quickly followed by "I hope so!" I enjoy reading this so much.

They don't tend to stay long.

I love the search term commentary posts - they are so funny. Now you'll have to excuse my lameness - I know that the terms you use to label your posts can determine if you'll pop up as a result of some random search, but how in the heck can you tell who found you and why?
