Everyone Gets Divorced

Here at EGD we make it a rule not to work on holidays. We also make it a rule not to work on random weekdays, almost every weekend, and for our birthday months. As our American fans know, today is Columbus Day. Some of you might have the day off from work. We do too! (Confession: we’re both unemployed.)

But this Columbus Day, we’re breaking all of our non-working rules. Columbus Day rules were made to be broken. Not at all like Flag Day. Flag Day rules are sacred and important and we have them for a reason.

Because it’s a holiday, I’m going to give you a little inside look at how Everyone Gets Divorced operates. I (Jessica) wake up in the morning and drink a Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi. Why? Because I love caffeine and hate being fat. Then I talk to Jeanne on g-chat (we’re too technologically advanced for “telephones”) and we say to each other  “Hey, should we do a blog today?” Usually we conclude that we should watch TV and eat snacks instead. But sometimes we feel guilty about only watching TV all of the time, or we feel too fat for snacks, so we do a blog anyway. Lately we’ve been extremely bad at blogging because SOME PEOPLE (Jeanne) decided to take a break from all the not working to go on a European vacation, But today I felt we needed to blog. And yet, what to say on this special day? I decided to give you a peek inside at the inner workings of EGD. So here is our actual conversation, expertly copied and pasted, discussing today’s blog:

Jessica: we’re probably going to have to blog again one day.
But I can’t bring myself to think about it.
Jeanne:  i know
i can’t do it now….and it’s a holiday
Jessica:  let’s just post a picture of christopher columbus and call it a day.

 Jeanne:  ok

i’m proud of you…  i just checked

columbus was married

and  then his wife died

Jessica:  GOOD. I’m GLAD she died. I don’t care who knows it.

Jeanne:  and then he had a “mistress”

Jessica:  can you have a mistress after your wife dies?

Jeanne:  i don’t know

that’s what wikipedia calls it for some reason

probably because she’s spanish

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatriz_Enr%C3%ADquez_de_Arana

Jeanne: interesting…

some people say his wife died

and others say he just left her

Jessica:  hm…

 Jeanne:  in that case

maybe he WAS divorced 12 times

and no one really knows

Jeanne: Also, i think it’s about time we edit wikipedia

…to make everyone divorced

Jessica:  OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let’s!

Jessica:  ok i’m writing a blog

and it’s my favorite one ever so far

Jeanne:  i’m so proud

so proud of you

i’ll be right back again. I need to get snacks.

Jessica:  ok

this blog

is very unconventional

it involves copying and pasting.

You’ll see.

Christopher Columbus was divorced 12 times.
