Sometimes we decide to record a podcast because we want to talk about some specific things.
Today we recorded a podcast because I had been in the kitchen all day long and wanted to pursue some sort activity that didn't require mixing a softened stick of butter with sugar. And Mel wanted to do something that wasn't watching the same episode of "Friday Night Lights" for the third time in a row.
I'm telling you: sometimes boredom will just propel you into all manner of podcasting ambition.
Anyway, this one is completely random (SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW?). We talk about my search for a birthday gift for my sister-in-law, our mutual disdain for coconut, Mel's hunt for a maxi-dress and how her shopping habits eerily resemble a woman I know who likes to sign cards and letters like this:
Love,
Mother
"Martie."
It's all very big fun.
As long as you remember that the words "very," "big" and "fun" are completely relative.
