but that's why I have a blog

Today my neighbor, let's call her X, who is also a writer, and in her 60s, came over to see my kitchen. Then we had the following conversation:

X: Hey, you inspired me to start a blog! (she's been reading my blog for kitchen updates)
Me: That's great!
X: So I wanted to ask you for a favor.
Me: Sure! (thinking she's going to ask for writing advice)
X: So, I want to buy you a membership to match.com. Then you'll go on dates and I'll write about them.
Me: Um. What?
X: I bought my sister a membership and she went on some dates but nothing really funny happened and then she met someone and got married.
Me: Oh.
X: Maybe you'll meet someone and get married. And then I can write about that.

(uncomfortable pause)

Me: Don't you think the back splash turned out really nice?

Maybe I'll stop inviting people over to show off my kitchen.
