I owe my long time blog to two of my great friends (who abandoned me and moved to Seattle - I'm still a little upset about it) who convinced me to start a blog way before it was cool. Most people didn't know what blogs were back then but they got me on the bandwagon early and I still strive to have a blog more like theirs (here and here). They are the funny, witty writers that find the "blog worthy" substance in everything. I'm just a little envious - if you couldn't tell.
Today, it just so happened the I struck gold with my own little "Conversation of the Day" (a bit of a common thread on their blogs):
CoWorker 1: I swear I did something with your sister in that little office up there (pointing to the dark abandoned office in our building)
Me (just coming into the conversation): Did you really just say that?
He was in fact trying to figure out if he opened an account or closed a loan for another co-workers sister, and decided to investigate with that line. Classic.

Nice. Are you really sure it was a loan....
And for what it is worth, I love your blog.
That is awesome!
YES! A little misinterpretation to create scandal always provides blog-worthy material.
I love your blog too and thanks for the shout out:)
Love the post, love the blog, but most importantly love you.

Yeah, what the heck. No need to be envious of others' blogs. You have a great one!
