Overheard in New York

Overheard in New York: "Naked chick #1: I tried to call you Sunday, but your boyfriend said you were taking a nap.
Naked chick #2: Oh, why?
Naked chick #1: Well, I was reading Craigslist and this guy said he'd give someone $100 for 14 pills of tetrazepam and I was like, 'Wait a minute, I have that!'
Naked chick #2: So you were calling to ask me if you should sell drugs over the internet?
Naked chick #1: Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Naked chick #2: Was there anyone on there offering money for a blowjob?
Naked chick #1: Um, no.
Naked chick #2: Because that's another career option I wouldn't recommend.

Overheard in the Office

"Boss: You know, I'm really glad we hired you. You're a good sounding board for all this stuff I take in front of clients, because you don't know anything. So you probably know as much as they do. So whatever confuses you will probably confuse them.
Associate: Uh...
Boss: Exactly.
The above quote sums it up! This hilarious blog repeats what has been overheard in the office! Read more at Overheard in the Office.

One more of the baby nook.....

Baby Nook

So people ask me if we're planning on moving? The immediate assumption is that now that we're having babies, won't we need a bigger apartment? The implication being that no sane parent would raise a child, much less two, in a one bedroom apartment! "No" I reply, "not immediately!" and then we move on to other topics....

We don't have a baby room! We do have a baby nook! (BTW, that carpet is COMFY! You have to stand on it barefoot to truly appreciate it!). Here it is still in its early development!
