The beginning

Sorry about Darlene she gets a little excited with new things, like this blog, and decided to jump right into it instead of explaining where we come from.

A little about us:

Darlene and I (Tootie) work at this amazing real estate company. We met about 3 1/2 years ago when I started in the position. I wasn't quite sure about this cold hearted bity-ichay. She seemed like she wanted nothing to do with me, but then as we got to know one another, we quickly learned that we were two peas in a pod. We have had many adventures together and along the way have met multiple characters, one of which we have named our blog after.

Throughout the day we get many couriers coming in and out of the office delivering their packages. One of our newest is a FedEx guy, that we will call, Jim-Bob. Jim-Bob is a very lively older gent that loves to tell us his entire life story with just one simple question, "How was your weekend?". Every time he arrives with his package in hand he will start out with "Hows it going?". Which my usual reply is "Fabulous! How bout you?". Now here is where it all starts. He then proceds to go on a tangent about his grand-kids and taking them to McDonald's. He orders them each a happy meal and a BigMac meal for himself. But the little stinkers end up eating half of his meal plus their own. Or about this auction dinner that him and his wife went to. They bid on all this stuff like painting projects for the grand-kids. Who freakin cares? Really? Those bratty little kids are going to take that painting project and start painting your furniture and carpet, not to mention the walls with their grubby greasy hands.

Now his departure is the most amusing. He will sign off with something along the lines of "But life is good!". And always adding "That's what IIIII'm tal-kin' aboooouuut!"

One time we skipped all the chit chat, he strides down the hall and blurts "Look at you, you lookin' good, smellin' good. That's what IIIII'm tal-kin' aboooouuut!" Dude, your like in your late 50's. Who talks like that anyway?

This is where our title for our blog derives from. That's what we're talkin' about!

Anyway stay tuned for more adventures between Darlene and Tootie!
