Writing through the pain

I had yet another physical therapy appointment today. I must say, this is not at all fun. I'm in pain here people! Looks like I'll be going in for cortisone shots in both the elbow and shoulder. They use the big square needles for that, don't they?

Anyway, pain makes me random. Shut up. I can blame it on the pain if I want to. So I'm warning you now that this post may be a bit loopy.

Speaking of loopy, have you seen the little monkey at the top right of my blog? Well, I've been invited to join the Fellowship of the Traveling Smarty Pants. I'm pretty thrilled about it! It's such a fun group of bloggers over there. And it's not just in the posts, but the comments, too. If you'd like, you can read my latest post here. If you do check out the site, make sure you've made a recent trip to the bathroom first. Oh, and be warned - there are monkey butts ahead. Hey, you've been warned.

Next item of randomness... My bloggy friend, MoonGoddess, just did her 100th post yesterday over at Where My Mind Roams. Go on over and show her some love, huh? Comment away! She could use some love right now. 'Nuff said.

My (much older) sister is turning 40 tomorrow (the 30th). How about pouncing on her blog and giving her a hard time for giving up after one post! She must be taunted!

Okay, here's a random thought: Reduce, recycle, reuse. Would hot dogs fit in to 2 of those 3 categories?

And because random and the Far Side go hand in hand...

Simon says go join in my blog carnival, Life is Funny. You know you want to. Everyone who is anyone is doing it.

Apparently, my dog can type.

Photobucket

So boys and girls, what did you learn this week? Find out what others had to say over at Musings of a Housewife.

This week I learned a few things about my dog, Gidget.


Photobucket

Photobucket

She was a pretty cute puppy, wasn't she? Anyway, someone has taught her how to type. And use a computer. And set up a Twitter account. Yes, my dog is on Twitter. Want to check it out? She's CrazyGidgetDog. I'm not quite sure how she does it since I've never caught her in the act. But really, how does a dog type when they don't even have thumbs?

She just signed up a couple of days ago, but she's already got friends there. How? I mean, sure, she looks pretty cute in her puppy picture... I'm sure she's going for the cute angle here... But I think she might be more popular than me! Do I need to up my cute factor?

Gidget is sitting here looking at me right now. Is she waiting for her turn on the computer? Or is she waiting to read what I've written here so she can talk about it on Twitter?

Oh, I'm on to you, dog...

Need more funny in your life? Got some funny to share? C'mon over to my blog carnival, Life is Funny, and join in! You'll be glad you did.

Life is Funny - Oh, fudge.

Photobucket


Hi folks! It's time for another round of Life is Funny. Is your life funny? Of course it is! So feel free to join in below!

Way back in the day, when my folks were newlyweds, my mom wanted to make a special treat.

Photobucket

She decided on fudge. Who doesn't love soft, creamy fudge, right? She hadn't made fudge before, but how hard could it be? So she went to the kitchen and worked her magic.

Yes, magic.

She managed to turn what should be soft and creamy into a substance that ranks on the hardness scale right below diamonds.

It couldn't be cut.

It couldn't be chiseled.

They had to throw the pan away.

I'm not really sure why, but my mom hasn't made fudge since then...

Newlywed cooking makes life funny.

Ready to play? Here's what you do.


1. Anytime this week, blog about what in life you find funny. It could be something that happened during the week, your general impression about why life is funny, or even just your favorite joke. Be creative!


2. Please put a link to my blog in your post. And I'd appreciate it if you'd add my carnival button (made for me by Andie - thanks so much Andie!) to your post. To make this easy, I've put the code to do so under my blog button on my sidebar to the right.


3. After you've posted, come back here and sign up on Mr. Linky below. For the first box, put your name and your blog (example: Wendy @ Weight...What?), then your URL in the second box. Make sure you link directly to your "Life is Funny" post (not to your main page) so we can all read what you have to say.


4. Visit all the other participants and see what they have to say, even if you don't have a blog of your own. And very important: Comment, comment, comment! Oh, how we love getting comments...


5. If you Twitter, please tweet about this - the more participants, the merrier! So go out and spread the laughter! I can't wait to see what everyone has to say!

Are there any women here...?

Oh, Saturday... A time for great silliness. I had planned on posting this video a little while ago, but decided that since it was around the Easter holidays, it might not be a good idea. But now, I just can't hold myself back any longer. Must...post...video...

New blog carnival starts tomorrow! Life is Funny. You know it is. Now learn to play well with others and join in, huh?

The heavens parted and the angels sang

I got a wonderful phone call yesterday. Dare I call it miraculous even? My friend, Stinkerbell, was at the one grocery store in town that I hadn't been to in search of deeply discounted Easter candy, and she told me that they had... Wait for it...

Photobucket

Cadbury Creme Eggs!!!

And they didn't just have a few, but a plethora! Yes, I like the word "plethora". And at 22¢ each, I totally scored! Now, I'm not saying how many I bought, but we'll just say that it's enough to last a good, long time. And then some. Plus, my friend will get her traditional birthday gift of Cadbury Egg goodness in July.

Yes, order has been restored to the universe and the birds can sing again.

But don't think that this gets you off the hook, Target. Yup, I've got my eye on you.

Still time to share some laughs at the Life is Funny blog carnival. Don't we all need a good laugh once in a while?

The rack, thumb screws and an iron maiden

Photobucket

Are you wondering what I did today? I went to physical therapy. Oh sure, they call it therapy, but I know what it really is - torture!

Before this arm thing I've got going on now, I'd never been to physical therapy before. My sister's been through it quite a bit though. I'm not saying that she's clumsy or anything, but how else would you explain 7 knee surgeries on a non-athlete in the same knee? Okay, she's a total klutz. Before I had to go in, she was telling me that physical therapists are always cute so that they can get away with torturing you. She may be on to something there. Well, cute or deceptively nice. It hides the pure evil until it's too late.

Today, my therapist told me that he'd be doing something good. Everyone likes this, he tells me. He then proceeded to start digging into my shoulder with his forearm, his elbow and an ice pick. My screams of agony only brought a smile to his face. Everyone likes this? What color is the sky in his world? When he told me to relax and breathe I wanted to pop him one. I was so happy when he was done...

But he wasn't done...

Next he moved to my elbow. He started there with some ultrasound therapy. For those of you who don't know, "ultrasound" is Latin for burning your flesh from the inside out. Of course, he couldn't just leave it at that. He had to start the digging thing on my elbow, too. And just for good measure, he hooked me up to some electrodes for a little shock treatment and covered my arm in the sleeve of hypothermia. All with a smile on his face. Can you believe he actually sounded happy when he said, "See you on Friday!"?

I think physical therapists enjoy your pain a bit too much.

Now, how about joining in on my blog carnival, Life is Funny? It's much less painful than physical therapy.

Who needs Krazy Glue?

Photobucket


It's time for "What I Learned This Week" over at Musings of a Housewife. Want to find out what other people learned? Then pop on over to her blog and check it out.


Photobucket



As for me, I learned the following:

Glitter glue is stronger than Krazy Glue when it's applied to your kitchen table.

Silly Putty is stronger than Krazy Glue when it's stuck in your carpet.

Pineapple juice can seep through a plastice container and make that container stick to the refridgerator shelf as if it had been put there with Krazy Glue.

While parents might laugh and joke about how nice it would be to be able to apply Krazy Glue to the mouths of incredibly loud children, your child will not think that it's funny. At all.

Krazy Glue and duct tape are not interchangeable.

Not everything that is broken can be fixed with Krazy Glue.

Yes, Krazy Glue will glue your fingers together. Trust me on this one.

So what did you learn this week?

Want to check out something that's Krazy Glue free? Take a peek at my blog carnival, Life is Funny! And when you get there, why don't you stay a while? I'm guessing you've got some funny stories to tell yourself...

Oh! And as an added bonus: Today (Tues.) is free cone day at Ben & Jerry's stores! Gotta love free ice cream!

You mean it's not all about me?

I had intended to do a post today about what people have Googled to find my blog, but Katdish beat me to it. Probably on purpose. So now I have to come up with something else to write about. And since I'm feeling completely unoriginal this evening, I'm just going to put stuff out there that I've found on other blogs lately.

I know it's past Easter now, but you should check out this post on Because I Said So. Pretty funny!

And who knew that birds could be so hilarious? Take a peek at this post on Where My Mind Roams. Make sure you don't have anything in your mouth when you read the story though...

Now, stolen right from the page of another blog...

Yes, that's stolen from Fellowship of the Traveling Smarty Pants. That blog is always a good read. Make sure to check out the comments when you visit that site! Hilarity will ensue.

Feel the need for some funny stuff about kids? Try this post from ChaseNKids.

Want to see how a post can start out perfectly wholesome then end up with Catholic porn? Check out Random Musings and make sure to read the comments, too.

Sure, there's plenty more out there, but Heroes starts in 6 minutes. So now, it's all about me.

Oh, and before I forget... Jump on the Life is Funny Carnival Train! Yes, your life is funny. Let us know about it so we can laugh at with you.

Life is Funny - There is no butter.

Photobucket

Hi boys and girls. It's time for another round of "Life is Funny." Can you say, "Life is Funny?" I knew you could.

Don't ever send your husband to the grocery store for a specific item. Why? Because you won't get it. Trust me on this one. I think that they must have all attended some kind of special class that we as women, until now, didn't know about. In this class, they were taught ways to avoid ever getting asked to do anything by their spouse. I have a sneaking suspicion that some men even went on for their masters and doctorate in the subject.

Case in point. My husband. He's an educated man. He can even tie his own shoelaces. But what he can't do is find butter at the grocery store. Butter. Yes, one day I asked him if he could run and get me some butter for something that I was baking. I gave specific instructions not to get margarine - it had to be butter. And, surprise surprise, what did he bring back? Margarine. He told me that the grocery store didn't have butter. Isn't that amazing? A store without butter! So I had to make a trip to the store. And do you know the crazy thing? They had butter! Lots of it. To this day, he insists that there was no butter there when he was there. Clearly they were holding out on him, just waiting for him to leave before stocking the butter section in order for me to find a plethora of butter when I went in.

Photobucket

Oh, those silly grocers. Don't they make life funny?

Ready to play? Here's what you do.


1. Anytime this week, blog about what in life you find funny. It could be something that happened during the week, your general impression about why life is funny, or even just your favorite joke. Be creative!


2. Please put a link to my blog in your post. And I'd appreciate it if you'd add my carnival button (made for me by Andie - thanks so much Andie!) to your post. To make this easy, I've put the code to do so under my blog button on my sidebar to the right.

Fingerprint Friday

Okay, I finally get to participate in Fingerprint Friday from Beki's blog PamperingBeki. Hmmm... That's odd. I guess this is the first time I've really read her header. It says "Pampering You" as the title. Yeah, I think I'll still be calling it PamperingBeki. I'm old and set in my ways. Anyway, I've never participated before because I'm the not-so-proud owner of 2 truly pathetic cameras. Actually, to call them pathetic would be an insult to pathetic cameras. They're even worse. All of this is to say that when it comes to getting pictures, I'm at the mercy of others who are willing to share the pics that they've taken. Such is the case with my entry in this weeks Fingerprint Friday.

Photobucket

This fingerprint is a two-fer.

First, I totally see God's fingerprint when I look at my daughter. She's such a gift and I can't even begin to express how much I love her. God giving us children let's us see a small portion of just how much He loves us. His love for us is so big! Awesome, huh?

Second, God's fingerprint was on the time back in Florida for my father-in-law's funeral. My daughter and I got to meet members of my husband's family that we'd never had the chance to before. I also got to meet my (new to me) sister-in-law, "S", who took this beautiful picture. Hey "S", you can move to Washington any time! God was able to bring a lot of good out of a lot of pain. He's pretty cool that way!

So there's my post. If you want to see what other people had to share, click here.

There's still time to jump in on my blog carnival, Life is Funny. Still waiting for your life to get funny? The next carnival starts Sunday!

Thursday, April 16, 2009

Yeah, I got nothin'.

Photobucket

Alright people, I've got nothing here. I put off writing a post all day because I was hoping that something brilliant would come to me. Okay, so brilliant might be a bit of a stretch. Odd, random, unusual... Those could work. Unfortunately, even those have eluded me.

I blame Target.

I'd be much more creative if I had bags and bags of greatly discounted chocolate surrounding me.

But let's not go there again.

I have something for tomorrow, but since it's for a blog carnival, I can't just post it now. I'm no early bird, you know.

Well, since I still can't think of anything to write, I'm forced to pull out the backup plan...


Gotta love a good fart scene...

Hallelujas, Bubble Butts and Target Practice

Hmmm... Does my title make me look a bit scattered? Are you thinking, "What's new?" Okay I'm a bit here and there at times. And yes, this is one of those times. So let's go in order, shall we?

Hallelujas - Do you remember a post a while back about my tooth? Well, hallelujah, it's in! Well, mostly in. It's in there, but with temporary cement. I'm not sure when the permanent cement will be in, but for now I'm pretty darn happy! Bring on the corn cobs!

Bubble Butts - Sherri, you'll be happy to know that this post has nothing to do with you. :o) (For those who are wondering, go ahead and read this post and then check out the comments. Hmmm... I wonder who Very Sarcastic Speed Reader Lurker Person was...) No, this has to do with my daughter. My daughter is almost 7 now, and just starting to learn the joy of gum. She's been afraid of it for years. Why? Because she just didn't get the "don't swallow it" part of the equation. We'd let her have some gum and tell her not to swallow it, but she always would, then panic. One time (the little stinker), she swallowed her gum, but then continued pretending to chew so that we wouldn't know what she had done. But now she's big and has decided that she is gum capable, so her Easter bounty included a multi-pack of gum. This evening she was asking if she could have a piece of gum and I told her that she could. My husband chimed in with, "Don't swallow it!" She then asked why it was bad to swallow gum, a question she's asked many times, but this time my husband told her that if she swallowed the gum, she'd start blowing bubbles out of her butt. Never knowing if she can believe Daddy or not, she asked if he was serious. He fessed up, but then told her that it's not a good idea to swallow it. Of course, I had to start chanting "Bubble butt! Bubble butt! Bubble butt!" at her once she started chewing the gum. She didn't really appreciate it for some reason. I'm still kind of hoping to see bubbles come out though... Maybe if we gave some to the dog...

Photobucket

Target Practice - Okay, finally to the last topic. In yesterday's post, I wrote a formal complaint. While I would love to say that the Target bigwigs saw my blog post and decided to send me a big box of leftover Easter chocolate, it wouldn't be true. So for grins, I decided that I'd copy and paste my post into one of their "contact us" emails. Can I just tell you that they sent back their automated response in no time? Here's what they wrote back:

Dear Wendy,

Thanks for taking the time to share your comments about your recent Target experience. I'm sorry for your disappointment. Easter candy at Target is on sale for 50% off this week. You can view this at Target.com/weeklyad. I've documented your thoughts and comments, which will be shared with our Store Operations team for further review. It's just one way we can keep working to provide you with the experience you've come to expect at Target. If you ever have concerns during your visit, please visit Guest Service and ask to speak with the Guest Service Team Leader. They'll make every attempt to resolve the issue during your visit. We appreciate your feedback because it helps make Target even better. Thanks for writing, Wendy.

Sincerely,
Target Guest Relations

So, not only do they not have any candy to buy, they're going to taunt me by saying that it's in the Target ad this week as a sale item?! Unbelieveable! Kinda like pouring salt in the wound, isn't it? I think my favorite part is where they tell me that I should go speak to the Guest Service Team Leader. Yes, just let me loose on the poor pimply-faced kid standing behind a counter when I freak out over the lack of bargain candy. Target, I just don't think you're that into me.

Can't seem to get enough? Check out my blog carnival, Life is Funny, and feel free to join in! C'mon, share the funny! Some of you have already shared some funny stuff. If you haven't read what the others have said so far, make sure to take a look!

a formal complaint

Photobucket

I'd like to file a formal complaint. Target, I've loved you for years. You've always been there for me and had what I need. And I've been loyal to you - I wouldn't dream of stepping foot into Walmart. I visit you many times each week and tell all my friends of your goodness. But today you let me down. I came to you with a deep need... A need for Easter candy at clearance prices. How is it possible that you could have nothing for me? Not even one bag of yucky jellybeans? What am I to do with my yearning for creamy chocolate at bargain prices? How can I live without those Whopper Robin's Eggs? And don't even get me started on the Cadbury's... Oh! Cadbury's! I'll have to wait an entire year for your rich, creamy goodness! I don't know if I can make it... I've heard rumors that you let others down even before Easter. I heard that there were near riots on Saturday when there was no candy to be found in your Easter aisle. Target, how can you live with this shame? Oh sure, you can tell me that I can just hit the regular candy aisle and pay (gasp!) full price... But that just takes all the joy out of it now, doesn't it? And now I'll have to wait until Halloween for the next holiday candy to come out?! Oh, the humanity! Target, I have to tell you that this taints our relationship. Sure, I still love you, but there's a hole in my heart that can only be filled by a greatly discounted chocolate bunny.

What did I learn this week? If you've made a tradition of buying your best friend Cadbury Eggs to save them for her birthday in July, make sure you get them before Easter. Drats.

Photobucket

Now go on over to Musings of a Housewife to see what everyone else learned!

And don't forget to check out my blog carnival - Life is Funny - because we all need a good laugh once in a while, right?

Life is Funny - Happy Easter!

Photobucket

Happy Easter everyone! He is risen and given us Hope!

It's time for another round of Life is Funny - the carnival. Put on your party hat and join in!

First I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. You guys are the best!

Okay, on to the funny. Since it's Easter, I really wanted to share a funny Easter story. Problem is, I don't have one. So instead, I'll just share a quick little church story.

Back when I was in college, I visited a new-to-me church one Sunday. Things were going normally until I started hearing some stifled giggles from behind me. I turned to look and saw a cute little girl coming up the aisle to go back to her seat. Okay, nothing funny there... Until she got past my row... Someone had made a bathroom run during the service. How do I know this? Because that cute little girl had managed to tuck the entire back side of her skirt into her tights when she was done doing her business. Unfortunately for her (but a lot of fun for the rest of us), she was sitting way up at the front of the church. Yes, a good many people had a bit of a chuckle that day in church. Sometimes life is funny when it's not happening to you.

And because I just can't resist, I have to throw in this cartoon:

Saturday Silliness - Bunnies and Buttercups

Ah spring... Time for bunnies and buttercups. Or is it?

On restaurants and water

Photobucket


First off, a good Good Friday to you all. Looking forward to the joy of Easter!


My birthday is coming up on Sunday (feel free to send gifts), so being that Sunday is also Easter, we went out for my birthday dinner tonight instead. Dinner was fantabulous! But of course, there was a small incident. Let me fill you in on a bit of my family history. Somehow, my husband has gotten a reputation for spilling water on my sister. It's become something of a joke around here, but truth be told, it hasn't happened that many times. At least, not of my husband's doing. But if water is spilled at the table and my sister is sitting at said table, it's a pretty safe bet that the water is flowing toward her. Well, my sister was sitting at the table tonight. I didn't sit down when everyone else did, so the table was completely set when I got there. Unfortunately, there were menus that were hanging a bit over the edge of the table where I sat down... I hit the menus which in turn hit my water glass, knocking it over and sending the water over to my sister who was sitting two seats away from me. She's a water magnet I'm tellin' ya! Of course I had to blame my husband and tell everyone that he paid me to do it...

And since we're on the topic of water and restaurants, I'll add on another story. Way back when (probably my late teens) my family used to go to this great steakhouse for dinner. Sure, the food was good, but my sister and I really wanted to go there for all the cute waiters. Yup, not a single female server in the place, just very good looking guys (a big thank you to whoever did the hiring back then!). So we were there one night for dinner and we had superhotguy as our busboy. I saw that he was coming around with a water pitcher, so I said, "Drink your water! Quick!" And who jumps on her glass of water and starts downing it? My mom! Yup, we still tease her about that one. I have to admit though, we had to make an awful lot of potty runs that night and we pretty much floated out of there. It was totally worth it.

Unfortunately, Wendy...

Photobucket

I was reading a blog that was new to me today (Don't ask me which one because I'm not tellin' I can't remember.) and there was a fun meme suggested. Want to play along? Here's what you do: Google "unfortunately, (insert your name)" and see what comes up. You need to make sure you add the quotation marks when you do it. Why? I have no idea. But be a lemming with me and just do it. If you do this on your blog, make sure you let me know in the comment section so I can check yours out!

And now, some of my favorite results for "unfortunately, Wendy"...

Unfortunately, Wendy gets busted, the cops are called, and by the time she is able to pay her way out of jail and make it back to the grocery store, Lucy is gone.

Unfortunately, Wendy just can’t get to her final destination the way she wants.

Unfortunately, Wendy’s car breaks down in Oregon; her money is running out; she gets arrested for shoplifting dog food

Unfortunately, Wendy had to cancel at the last minute due to “emergency gum surgery"—a bad break for someone who tries to make a living by talking.


Unfortunately Wendy didn't make a good impression in this phone conversation

Unfortunately, Wendy found herself disheartened, some say because of her career, but no one really knows except maybe those closest to her.

Unfortunately, Wendy is broke and so is her car, which croaks somewhere in Oregon.

Unfortunately Wendy's life was plagued with a disease that affects so many American youth today

Unfortunately, Wendy has a choice, she needs to come back with $1000 or else her friend will get beaten up again.

Unfortunately, Wendy complains this last scenario is ridiculous, the "kind of thing Wile E. Coyote would dream up"

Unfortunately, Wendy said, she never woke up, so she didn't know how she knew this.

Unfortunately Wendy was suffering severely from a migraine so didn't enjoy the trip.

Unfortunately, Wendy's experience was not unusual.

Unfortunately, Wendy suffered an injury as a yearling that made her unsound for riding.

Unfortunately, Wendy is overbearing and insensitive and has no skill in dealing with people.

Unfortunately Wendy had a small injury while playing with another puppy on Sunday and was a bit lame.

Unfortunately, Wendy collided with what looked like a normal delivery van.

Unfortunately, Wendy's experience is hardly a fluke.

Unfortunately, Wendy became enamored with her own culinary skills, gained about seventy-five pounds and was no longer able to perform the sometimes-rigorous physical requirements of the job

Unfortunately Wendy is bedridden, so she cannot be there to cheer.

Unfortunately Wendy thought it was a little too loud.

Unfortunately, Wendy can’t do this without spluttering, so her favourite line; “yes or no” with which she ends every rant, comes out as “Yetthh or Noooaaww” .

Unfortunately, Wendy's call was fielded by my monosyllabic teenage son, so details of their adventures are sketchy or non-existant.

Unfortunately, Wendy beat me in Paper, Rock, Scissors.

Unfortunately Wendy had a terrible day today.

unfortunately wendy i’m pretty sure misogynists say that all the time.

Unfortunately, Wendy had other plans and in her panicky state, made me drive away to check out real hotels.

Unfortunately Wendy was slightly paranoid, and she couldn't hear exactly what was being said.

Unfortunately Wendy could not afford an ISS system to replace these worthless human-beings.

Wow, it's like they knew me...

What is it with men and sheep?

I saw this video today and just had to share it...




Okay, that was fun. Different, but fun. I have to wonder, what makes a person come up with something like this? Do they just have too much time on their hands? Or just talent waiting to explode in the form of sheepherding? Of course, the big question is, where can I get me one of them there sheep?

Florida is trying to kill me

Photobucket

I'm back! And just in time for What I Learned This Week over at Musings of a Housewife. Want to see what other people learned? Then check out her site!

What did I learn this week? That Florida has it in for me. Seriously.

Let me back up a bit. I'm not a fan of Florida. At all. I don't do well with heat or humidity and since they've got both there all year long, it's not my favorite place to be. Apparently, Florida has taken this personally. We went back there 4 or 5 years ago to visit my husband's family and as soon as we got there, I came down with the flu. This wasn't just any flu, it was the one that was all over the news because it was killing people. I had a fever well over 103 degrees and was completely miserable. And Florida gave it to me. Not exactly the welcome gift one would hope for.

Fast forward to last week. As some of you might know, my father-in-law passed away last week. So we packed up and flew back there on Wednesday. Not exactly the ideal reason to be going back, but necessary. Florida knew I was coming. It attacked me while we were on our way there. I had horrible pain in my left arm. Not a good sign, huh? It felt like my arm was going to explode. When we finally landed in Florida, it was straight to the emergency room for me. They ruled out a heart attack right away, but were checking me for a pulmonary embolism. After they ruled that out, they didn't know what to do with me, so they sent me on my way. Uh, yeah. So I've been in pain since then and still have no idea what's going on. I see my doctor here at home today, so I'm hoping to learn more. But Florida? Enough already! Who knew a state could be so touchy?

Look for the Life is Funny carnival to start up again on Sunday. I just couldn't get it started this week. If you've got something to share, c'mon back and share it with us next week!

Johnny, what can you make of this?

Well, we're heading back to Florida this morning to attend the funeral. I'm not sure how much, if any, posting I'll be able to do while I'm gone. But since you know how I love to laugh, I had to leave with something fun. Since I'll be flying out and because of my undying love for Johnny, I leave you with the following clip. And by the way, don't order the fish.

Oh, and one last thing. Don't forget to check out my blog carnival, Life is Funny! There are a few entries there that are worth checking out. And hey, feel free to add your own!
