YES, I especially agree with you about dust jackets! I bought an old library book from a second-hand store last week and took great pleasure in releasing it from its plastic-encrusted cover haha. Such a beautiful, 'neat', simple hardcover underneath!

You had me until you dissed my lifeline, Dr. Pepper. But, I love you so we can still be friends. LOL

I agree with two of them but not telling you which two. I remain a lovely mystery!

You are for sure a mystery, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

😂🤣 These are hilarious and on point!

1. I agree on the cargo pants. I don't know why they're back in style. Or did they ever leave? Either way, they make people look super boxy.

2. Nyla used to say when she was little about football, "they run, they fall down." As a 2 year old she summed it up well. If we had a son I wouldn't let him play football because of the injury rate and long lasting effects. I've said for years that football season is the way to basketball season.

3. Ron Swanson is the greatest TV character ever!

4. I hate dust jackets.

5. I want Coca-Cola classic. Preferably fountain or canned, even given the choice. No DP for me either.

Yes, fountain Coke is the best, especially from McDonald’s!

Leggings are not pants. Corollary to Number 1. Loved your list, Erin.

I agree about the dust jackets but I must disagree about cargo pants and salads 🤣.

I’m finally getting caught up on my reading and this made me laugh! I completely agree about football. And salads? It’s touch and go. I do prefer a good salad when it’s made by someone else and has the right amount of the right dressing. I definitely prefer salad to smoothies because I have a Traumatic Smoothie Story and things haven’t been the same since. But I do so love a good soup, and being vegetarian, you could make the case that I love a warm vegetable smoothie. That sounds incomprehensibly gross. Yet here we are.
