Just in time for "Let Us Obliterate Our Central Nervous Systems and Terrify Our Pets in Celebration of Our Crumbling Republic" weekend. Don't despair, there will still be hot dogs!
I hope I just became your 100th subscriber because then you can say I’ve got 99 problems, but this bitch ain’t one 🤣 I loved this, Eileen. I laughed and nodded along multiple times because I am also someone who says yes and then when the day comes I think why tf did I say yes? But sometimes I end up being really glad I did. So glad to have connected with you! Xo
ALLY HAMILTON, you are indeed my 100th subscriber! Johnny, tell her what's she's won!
Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts. Cannot wait to see what happens in this space, lately I think it's the only place I feel slightly sane. xoxo
Book comes tomorrow. Can’t wait! I subscribed to your Stack as well, I was sure I already had, but maybe I’ve just been catching you through Kate M on my feed.
Oh, boy, babe, this makes me long for the city. Here in our suburb, muthafuckin’ morons have been shooting off fireworks for weeks. Lately, I want to slap the shit out of people. And don’t get me started on our current state of affairs. Much like a horny teenage boy to whom impregnating his equally horny girlfriend would be the end of life as they know it, Biden’s gotta pull out. IMHO. By the way, I love “Blue Jasmine.” Great dispatch. Keep ‘em coming and take care of yourself.
Candor is your superpower, Sherry! Yes, there have been weeks of practice bombings around these parts as well but probably nothing like the suburbs. I feel like every time I fully relax for an eighth of a second, there is a KABOOM.
Thanks for your support. I love seeing you here keeping it Sherry flavored real.
Thank you for making me snort with laughter with this paragraph of deadpan wit:
"Last year at this time, I was fully engrossed in my annual “My self esteem is getting a bit out of control, I should probably let the world of dating apps club me in the kneecaps for a bit” period. Cut to me making out in our backyard with an older neurotic Jewish man with a rock and roll podcast who strung me along for a month or more."
Doesn't matter how often you feel up to writing Eileen, I'm here for it. xxx
I think you and I always relished the Chicago summertime distractions. Just the best place to be in the summer. Endless opportunities for fun…. And hotdogs!

YES!!! I feel weirdly buoyant about this win, lol. And me, too, I love it here :)

Yay! Can’t wait to hear what you think. And I’m happy we’ve connected however it happened!
