We've had entire conversations just by exchanging a look or giving each other a simple eyebrow raise. With us, a smirk is worth a thousand words. That's the beauty of knowing someone for so long. :) XOXO to you too! Sarah-

Like when my best friend called me the other day and said four ominous words: "My mother in law..." and I instantly responded, shrieking in horror, "Noooo!" and she said, "Oh, yes..." and all of our subsequent sentences were just as short. And Liz, Bob Steinke tried to both Facebook friend AND Linkedin me the other day. So, you may want to take it personally... :) XOXO to you both.

It is true that my XOXO-ness doesn't make sense. Let's just blame Bob Steinke and call it a day. We can totally throw him under the bus because he'll never come to this site! PS: I love that you have now said "you wouldn't change a thing" and it's IN PRINT!! Can't take it back now! I have witnesses :) PS: The coffee thing is with us for life. But I think my discovery of the Keurig single cup "home brewing system" will save us!

Conversely, Xoxo flows like rain regarding kids, pets, vacations, or my old Homecoming photos. WTF? Thanks for making this all so simple Bob! :) I wouldn't change a thing. But thanks for the deeper look! Pre coffee Lisa and Work Lisa have handed out an Xoxo since they walked out of Pomona I don’t think.

Thanks for the book recommendation.... but to truly understand Bob Steinke, we'd need a series of books written about him specifically. He could be like the Twilight series, but Bob series instead. I think I'd find it fascinating! xoxo to you Bob Steinke! Erika–I’m glad you enjoyed the post!!

I love Chuck Bass... I love Dorota....I love it all--especially the XOXO! #2- maybe we should form a club of "Aunties" "Aunties Anoymous"....for the Aunties who don't know if they're inside or outside of Riley and Shane's bubble.... or we could be "A-List Aunties Anonymous" because we were told we were "A" list and given the Auntie title (although by blood you really are an Auntie?!) but are we really? PS: Riley let me take her to the movies once but she had to be bribed with a bag of candy to leave with me! :) #3- Auntie Jennie--"tall" really? For me, a tall can't even make a dent. I'm a two venti woman... OR a one venti w/ multiple shots of espresso... #4- INTERESTING development regarding the drunken call. Hmmm.....Who's drinkin the almond champagne now??? #5- Liz LOVES the xoxo. I love the xoxo. See, the xoxo is the perfect way for all the Mrs. Robotos of the world to express love... you can say hugs and kisses without having to say hugs and kisses--! XOXO Auntie Jenny! Auntie Jenny–

I however took the other route... I am overemotional instead of robotic. May I suggest a great book (far cheaper than therapy)if you ever feel the need to get past the daddy issues. The book is titled, "Longing for Dad: Father Loss and its Impact". It is generally for women who have lost their fathers to death or divorce, but it works well for those of us with emotionally unavailable dads. It helped me get past 30 years of issues through many tears and revelations as I read through the chapters. Lisa, again an insightful and charming post. I can't wait for the next installment of "Days of Your Lives" As a fellow woman with emotionally unavailable daddy issues, I feel your pain.

I didn't even have to bribe with a quarter for the guinea pig fund. And that night I drunk-dialed you? I wasn't toasting my love for "she who won't be named", I was celebrating the fact that for the first time in years I didn't have to suppress the urge to reach across the table during dinner and stab her with my fork. Baby steps... xoxo Mrs. Roboto (btw, LOVE my new nickname. Now I have an excuse to do the robot on the dance floor this weekend!) Auntie Jenny,

Hmmm, maybe that's just the xany talking?? #5-xoxo Liz!!! (are u hurling) :) #1-Gossip Girl rocks!!

Ha! Where are you going next year--Catalina? #2--I'm about to be 36 and I'm still f****ing single. So if anyone should be searching for enlightenment-- it's me! :) C'mon Gary Spivey--accept my friend request--please!!! #3--I guess I should be happy that Shane points to blonde girls in magazines and thinks it's Auntie Lisa. Let me know if he ever thinks I'm Heidi Klum (hey, a girl can dream!) #4--Yeah, for some reason, Bob Steinke just can't seem to wrap his head around Fenton. Maybe re-send the invitation as Clark? It's a long shot, but still... #5--I think we should agree that we BOTH suck before coffee and shouldn't email, text, talk on the phone or do ANYTHING until we've had it. I'm sure Matt & Mike have a few thoughts on this :) xoxo #1–I KNEW your QM love affair would wear off! Ha! Where are you going next year–Catalina?
