(Said with giddy excitement and glee): “Wait wait shhhh!!! This is the best part coming up, where you actually wake yourself up!”

Things He NEEDS
Me (watching Eric troll on Amazon): “It’s ridiculous how much you love to buy things.”
Eric: “Only things I NEED, though.”
Then he added this to his cart:
A Sincere Thank You
For those of you who don’t know (and if you’re my Facebook friend, that is damn near impossible– unless you’ve blocked me from your newsfeed, which would be entirely understandable and something I would probably do), I am running the NYC Half Marathon on March 20th to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in honor of Eric, my wonderful boyfriend and a Type 1 diabetic. I’ve done FB thank you’s and sent emails/texts (maybe even put in a few VOICE calls! No just kidding I didn’t), but I wanted to also use the blog as a platform to express my sincerest gratitude to everyone who has donated to the fundraiser so far. I am astounded by how quickly I was able to reach and exceed my goal, thanks to all of you– your kindness and generosity never ceases to amaze me, dear friends and family (time and time and time again. And again. I know I fundraise a LOT….)
And just a quick special shout-out to Eric’s friends (aka, my new friends— because what’s his is mine and what’s mine is ours…). I definitely felt like a weirdo sending you guys solicitation requests, but I know how much you care about Eric and figured *maybe* you’d be interested in throwing some change to the cause in his honor. But you have COMPLETELY exceeded that expectation– and then some. So thank you from the very bottom of my heart, and, of course, from the very bottom of Eric’s heart…
Eric’s heart isn’t that deep. I don’t know, maybe it’s the diabetes.
GO BRONCOS!!!!!
(I told him no, by the way. He understood. Kind of.)
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, FRIENDS!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!
Impurities
Eric: “What is that?!”
Me: “A clay facial mask.”
Eric: “What does it do?”
Me: “It takes out impurities.”
Eric: “Like…your Judaism?”
Worth
“I make your life worth reading about!”
— Eric, whose presence in my life has reduced my blog stats by roughly 70%.
What is Love?
(Part of the What is Love series)
Love is when he wakes up in the morning, wraps you in his arms, nuzzles his face in your neck and whispers “I wanted to strangle you in your sleep last night. You need to start using Breathe Right strips.”
When Eric Makes the Bed, Part 5
What Are You Trying to Tell Me?
I can only assume that Eric gathered up all his Broncos gear today because he wants me to burn it all in one shot before we live together, so that there’s more room for us to buy things that we can BOTH appreciate, like lacy throw pillows, jeweled trinkets from Anthroplogie, and designer handbags.
Ok, fine. I’ll do it.
Because I love you.
Moving in Together: Two Jewish Mother Responses
Eric and I decided to move in together. He told his mom, and her response was the following:
“That’s great! Do you need help with anything? If you want to store anything at my apartment, please feel free! Let me know what I can do! Congratulations! Very exciting!”
My mother’s response:
😒
Today is a BIG Day!
I started my pee medicine! Now I won’t have to run to the bathroom every 10 minutes like a coke addict!
Oh and also Eric and I are moving in together.
(I think he was waiting for the pee thing to be under control…)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
