Summary

Well, I would welcome you to our annual Christmas podcast - except I don't think Melanie and I have actually recorded a Christmas podcast in about five years. We are far too fond of flying by the seat of our collective pants to plan anything in advance, much less to commit to it on a yearly basis. We like to tell ourselves this is part of our charm, but it's actually probably a little annoying.

This time around we talk about a bunch of different stuff: Melanie's theory about Pinterest, Christmas with little ones (newsflash: our kids aren't really "little ones" anymore),  TV shows that make us paranoid, holiday treats, my ongoing eyelash issues (and Melanie's solution), and our observations about overly familiar customer service. So basically we just ramble, but since we recorded this one on December 21, VOILA: CHRISTMAS PODCAST.

Also, for some reason my Mississippi accent is real strong this time around. I watched Steel Magnolias the night before, and apparently it triggered some dormant speech patterns. I say this because there's a point when I pronounce "our" like "ire," so I hope you folks from other parts of the country don't require a translator.

Merry Christmas, y'all. So grateful for you!

the tech support stuff, because like I was just saying, I would pretty much just have to

We've never been more big time than that. You know, you know, that time that I read that,

1:37.3

what's this magazine, that Mac live, and it said like podcasts like the pros, and I determined

1:43.1

we were doing everything wrong. Yes, I had never thrown away that magazine. It's been in our

1:47.7

guest room for months, and so I went and grabbed it when I couldn't get the other thing to work.

1:53.2

And so say old-fashioned magazines handy. And so that's how I needed to download this,

So I could grab a door life, I could grab an install or a people, but we wouldn't have anything
