A Day In The Life
Jen and I are often asked what it's like to be "professional" bloggers. How do we spend our days? Do we have a swimming pool filled with gold coins? Are there fantastic parties and gourmet ketchups? The answer to all these questions is yes. Jen even has a green dress. (But not a real green dress. That's cruel.)
That doesn't mean it's all fun and games, though. Sometimes we take naps.
In fact, I think I'll keep a diary for a day, just so you can see firsthand the "glorious life" of the "Professional Blogger." Enjoy!
------------------------------------------
1:00 pm - Woke up to cats hammering on door and yowling. Note to self: get thicker door. Also, new cats.
"Mrow?"
1:35 pm - Cats' yowls going super sonic. Ear plugs ineffective. Time for the Super Soaker.
"Mruh Mroh."
2:10 pm - Jen's awake. Cats are hiding. I ask in my best Kirk impression (complete with hand gestures), "JEN! Are... you... readytobe... funny? We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill!"
Jen:
Note to self: Avoid Kirk impressions before Jen's fully awake.
3:45 pm - Checked on Jen in the office. She has 27 browser tabs open and is humming "Loathing." So far, so good.
5:20 pm - Jen comes out of her office to reheat some "breakfast."
Pizza and Maalox: breakfast of champions.
7:20 pm - A yell from the office: "Oy! What're some puns for 'lactating?'"
7:32 pm - Final tally: Milking it, so cheesy, really sucks, staying abreast of the whole situation, whipped into a frenzy, creamy complexion, skim off the top, nipped a pair of area oreos
8:15 pm - Maniacal laughter coming from office.
8:21 pm - Loud sobs coming from office.
8:30 pm - Colorful swearing coming from office. Huh. Rapid mood swings may indicate low blood sugar. I bring Jen a cookie.
Effect is immediate. "Ohh, and also 'eat, drink, and be dairy!'"
10:45 pm - Heading to McDonald's for lunch.
Thank goodness we're not food bloggers. (Oh. Wait...)
12:20 am- Break time. Watching Castle with Jen.
*snorfle*
2:15 am- Jen heads back to the office. I'm off to bed.
(This was supposed to say "Just because." Seriously.)
3:35 am - Woken by a loud yell. Rushed out to find Jen staring horror-struck at a new e-mail:
"Why? WHY?!?"
4:04 am - Convinced Jen to come to bed. She lies in the dark, muttering, "Can't sleep. Lobster in blond wig will eat me."
I think it's going to be another long night.
Thanks to Lyle, James, Alistair, Carissa, Amanda M., Helen W., Elizabeth M., Kristin S., Eilen, Tyler O., Dana S., & Beatrice Y., for helping us avoid "real" jobs. Now: nap time!

P.S. We can't have all those boob puns without a shout-out to my favorite wire-free bra. I have four of these now, and they're all I want to wear:
Warner's Easy Does It Seamless Wireless Bra
I plan to keep buying all the colors. I love the under-arm smoothing panel - no dig or pinch! - and like most Warners, these are incredibly comfortable. Up 'til last year I ONLY wore wired bras, and it took buying-and-returning over a dozen different brands and styles before I found these gems. They average $25-30 Prime, but I watch the listing and buy any color that goes under $20. ("Rosewater" is on sale right now for less than $15, so I just bought 4 more!)
Oh, and be sure to check the image gallery for a better idea of how they look on larger tracts of land.
