Not crazy at all. When I wrote that I "imagined" my dog's responses to me based on his facial expressions, what I really meant was that I think I know what he means to say back to me based on his facial expressions - so basically it's almost like he's saying them telepathically kind of, because I just know in my head…

Hilarious! Love that that's now the walking song. My dog loves "Blowin' in the Wind." But his favorites are "The Circle Game" and "This Land is Your Land." Whenever he's restless, I sing those two and he'll curl up in my arms and go to sleep with his head curled into my shoulder. I wake up with the worst shoulder…

This is awesome. Can completely picture this.

Yes to the frosting eating. Frosting all the time.

I think it has to do with the sheer quantity of Nutella I consume in these sittings. I'll go through extra bananas just because they're such a good vehicle for Nutella. And I don't exactly skimp on the Nutella. It's just always been a solitary Nutella-splurge for me.

Yes, exactly!

I eat M&M's in order, one color at a time. Like, I'll pick out all the blue ones and eat them first. The order of colors doesn't ever change. This is the only ritual I have - not OCD, it's actually exclusive to M&M's - but I'm generally pretty rigid about it and if I'm with my husband, who knows my order, and he…

Also, one tip: for maximum Nutella-ing, it can help to halve the banana lengthwise. But if you do that the Nutella will only stick to the banana effectively if you spread it on the outside of the banana - the exposed inside part is too slippery and the Nutella won't stay on there. Then again, the worst case scenario…

Oh, absolutely. Not even a question.

Do it!! You will not regret this.

SUCH a good feeling!! This is one of the very, very few things in my life that has been compromised by having a dog. Lotion no longer has time to sink in because he likes the taste of it, so he tries to lick it off of me anytime he gets the chance. If I sit on the bed all covered in lotion, I wind up doing a…

I miss my VHS player that used to do that! I have three or four movies that will reliably put me to sleep - I don't fall asleep to them often but will put them on when I can't sleep, and they almost always work. I have to own a TV with a sleep timer because of this. My husband has just kind of had to get used to my…

Favorite alone snack: Nutella smeared directly and generously on a banana. Delicious, but messy. But it's actually healthy, see, because you have a whole piece of fruit. You have to keep Nutella-ing the banana as you go.

Me too.

I've totally done this too! And it's fun to pre-measure stuff into little ramekins or custard cups so you can just - whoosh - magically have a tablespoon of whatever you need all ready to just add to your dish, like on the shows. It helps to move the narration along. A total waste of dishes, but it's fun.

Me too. Or I'll just put the towel down on the bed and sit on it, naked. There's something about being freshly clean from a shower and being naked that just feels great.

I do this with my dog. I put his name and any dog-related words I can think of into songs and sing them to him. I sing along to TV theme music, too, and substitute the words with his name and other dog-related words (wag, tail, woof, etc.), or I'll just make up words if the music is just a word-less tune.

Not strange at all. Also not limited to cheese plates.

Yup.

I think they mean the graduating class of 2020 - so that's the class that will enter in 2016.
