You're my obsession

Laurel and I have been known to become quite obsessed with a number of things (and people) before -- some of you are reading this and saying "No Shit." Last summer we were obsessed with the murdered pregnant ladies. I'm not trying to be insensitive by stating it that way, it's just that, well, we were obsessed with the murdered pregnant ladies! We swapped every detail discussed at length who said what? did what? seemed suspicious...

This summer our obvious obsession is BLOGS, blogging, bloggers. Depicted by Laurel's sad observation in the following email:

how lame are we? .....these are now our typical drunk conversations:

"Did you read Dooce the other day!? oh my gosh, LETA is so cute--and Jon what a sweetheart, and oh my God, blah blah blah, septic tank poopy red hair color.....blah blah blah..."

"I sent you mail at work, hehehe, (snicker snicker)...Interdepartmental mail rules!! We are so sneaky!" snicker snicker..."

"Oh my gosh, did read so and so's blog today?"

"Ahh, I LOVED your recent post, the pictures, the description--ALL WONDERFUL, how did you get the link to do that, and how do you add to your profile, I looked at this other guy's template the other day, blah blah blah..."

• I told Laurel that I'd try to "raunch" up our drunk convos this weekend (hopefully up north), and I suggested she do the same :)
