Old Man Baby
normally i am too self-absorbed to talk about other people's luck, but today i'm going to make an exception. that is because this week, i am visiting this guy:
and he is SO CUTE. and--here's the lucky part--he is SUCH a good baby! he's really mellow, hardly cries, entertains himself and likes to be held. his parents don't even know how lucky they are. the bastards....
but--like so many parents before them--the harsh reality of how much work a baby is has set in. turns out, you don't actually know what they want ever, and it can seem as though there are five of them instead of just the one:
which is why it seems almost necessary to have at least one extra person around to help out. enter, ME! (we all knew it would come back to me eventually, right?) unfortunately for said parents, i'm going home today. good luck with the next 18 years! erin out.

Your Fly is Down....
today i write about one of those things that at first glance seems like good luck, but later we find out it wasn't at all. yes, i'm of course talking about no pants day:
just like homer, my pants have been chafing me all day, so it was great to find out I could ditch them entirely:
but, alas, i am not in new york, i'm in missouri where there is nary a subway car to ride pants-less in. also, it is SUPER COLD here, and even though i'm as lovely and fattened up as a spring lamb:
i am also super wimpy and could not withstand much cold. I hope it was fun for those brave new yorkers!

Dream Post 1
last night i had such interesting lucks happen in my dreams that i decided to create a new series for good and bad lucks that happen in the dream world. i'm not going to count these in the luck counter, but i will still color code them, since none of you are that bright... .
the good! tim robbins looking like ian "ray" raymond from high fidelity (only in a gray prison jumpsuit and with dreadlocks rather than the steven seagal ponytail) sacrificed himself so that the cast of community and i wouldn't have to go back to prison:
the bad! if a person never took his or her shoes off for long enough, then it meant that s/he was a llama:

Wheel of Fortune
this morning, i was out walking charlie as per usual. she was sniff, sniffing about, pretending she has a sense of smell (she doesn't, she's a sight hound):
when lo and behold! i spotted something shiny. could it be...? YES:
a shiny quarter! who says the economy is in trouble. i found a quarter! do you know what you can buy for a quarter?! so many things!
one buffalo chicken wing:
a gumball:
one paperback book from goodwill:
or--if one were so inclined--a tootsie roll pop:
not that we would EVER buy a tootsie roll pop after what that company did to us....at any rate, i'm practically a millionaire now, so i'm going to contemplate my fortunes and leave you to your poverty. ta-ta! (<-- that's what rich people say.)

House Warmed, Finger Cut
good luck, everyone! charlie, c.b. and i:
had some folks over this weekend, and we didn't have any spills or ruined anything!
i know, i know, we're all adults, so it seems like we might be past ruining other people's belongings, but i've found that one is never actually past this. at any rate, my stuff successfully made it through the day.
unfortunately, today i was opening a new toy for charles, and the box cut through the side of my fingernail:
what the what? the side of a fingernail? what does that? anyway, now i'm bleeding all over the keyboard, so i'll just close with this picture of a flying squirrel (the toy for charlie is a squirrel toy):

Secular Rosh Hashanah
today is a new day. it's also a new year, it turns out:
the first meal of this first year turned out to be a lucky one! i went to brunch at cronin and phelan with my sister, her boyfriend, and c.b. we chose there because we were told they were serving brunch, and they have this amazingly delicious french toast:
but when we got there, they were only serving a limited brunch menu--a menu that didn't include french toast! but erin, you may say. you said this was a lucky meal. i did, i did, and here's the lucky part:
our waitress asked the chefs if they'd make us some, and they said yes! we got our sweet, greasy, delicious french toast! sister and i both ordered it separately and each ate exactly half of what we were served. started out the new year wasteful:
happy new year!
