For my love, Davin

What Leanne said.

If you know my dad...

...you know he's forever throwing out puns that make you both laugh and roll your eyes at the same time. My brother Tim posted this forwarded email on K-Chat, and I thought I'd share it with you- it's got Joe written all over it. (Although he didn't actually write it).

Please join me in remembering a great icon in the entertainment industry. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions. Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

If this made you smile for even a brief second, please rise to the occasion and take time to pass it on and share that smile with someone else who may be having a crummy day and kneads a lift.

....this is where you laugh, roll your eyes, and say "Groan".
Happy Monday! :D

Laura, Louie, and Leanne

Need I say more???

Oh, okay, I will! We also rode on the roller coaster!!! And laughed. And acted stupid. And laughed some more. It was a good, fun, FUN day with my sis! (Leanne, for those who don't know- but of course you do!!!)

Oh, and while I was doing this, Davin was driving in St. Cloud and accidentally let another car smash into his car- EEK!!! He's doing good- no injuries other than whiplash. However, because of his lung embolism and being on blood thinners, I am a bit worried. He's gone to bed, but I intend on waking him every few hours...just to be safe... oh, and his car, it didn't come out so well. Smashed good, I hear. Thank God he was okay!

...I love Davin. ...just wanted to tell you all! :)

I love The Big Bang Theory also.

I like to follow up on or copy other's blog posts. It makes keeping a blog easy. Sometimes, I like to copy Leanne, 'cause I actually agree with her a lot. Plus, she's cool. Here's my follow up to her TBBT post:

You know you REALLY love The Big Bang Theory when...

...when you want to sit down in your spot, and nowhere else.

…when you dress up like the Doppler effect for Halloween.

…when you accidentally use "spock" in a game of rock, paper, scissors.

... when you refer to rearranging your sock drawer as "the new organisational paradigm".

…when you disagree with someone you raise your hand and say, "Formal protest!'

…when your most frequent argument is "I accept your premise, I reject your conclusion."

…when you now use Rocket Scientist as an insult rather than as a compliment for high intelligence.

…when you line up all of your cereal boxes in order of fiber content.

…whenever you fall down or drop something your immediate response is: "Oh, gravity! Thou art a heartless bitch."

...when you have established a roommate agreement with a sidekick clause.

...when you want Sheldon's (knock,knock,+[your name]) to be your new ring-tone.

...when you become facebook friend with Sheldon Cooper.

At last, a litte peace! I hope...

Okay, Davin and I have been counting Weight Watchers points for about a week now. Well, me, two weeks, and Davin one. So what's the problem? Davin. His math geek personality as come forward in full force! Don't get me wrong, I love his intelligence and love for all things numbered, but things are getting out of control. All I hear about when we're together is points. SO annoying. It started one night when I he was on his computer and he asked a question about how many calories something had. I looked at his computer screen and saw he a big 'ol Excel spreadsheet open. He had it all figured out. Freakin' columns and rows with freakin' formulas to keep track of his points. I busted a gut! He thought it was mean of me to laugh at him. His response was "Anyone would keep a spreadsheet." Like, duh. I thought it was hilarious- and cute. But it hasn't stopped- the talking talking talking about points. Today I was informed that he was trying to figure out the formula for calculating points. I said I would just buy him a points calculator, but he said he would rather figure it out because "it's funner". Something about it not being linear. ??? But what if it takes months for him to get it down? That would mean months of chatter about it. So I went on a hunt. And low and behold, I found the formula on Wikipedia! I gave it to him, he's fired up, and I'm happy as a clam. Happy because I feel a little bit smart for finding it, but mostly happy because now he's got his dumb formula and his spreadsheet for tracking points is complete.

Davin: "Oooh, yeah!"
Me: "Amen to that!"


ETA: Formula for Leanne:

Dancing Phalanges!

Bones is back on tonight!!!

If you've never seen the show, you probably won't appreciate this clip. However, if you have, you have to admit one of the episode's was when Bones had temporary costudy of a baby. FYI, obviously someone has inserted some screen words on this youtube clip, but it's still great!

Dancing Phalanges

By the way, I have played dancing phalanges with babies. Does that make me odd? :D

Missing airplane ride story...

I had posted a really, really funny story that somehow got lost. I don't know if I accidentally deleted it when I was editing it- or if someone thought it wasn't funny and hacked into my account and deleted it. Actually, someone probably thought it was so funny that they hacked into my account and deleted it so they could use it as their own original idea. ...that's probably what happened.

Anyway, here's the shortened version:

I was bored on the flight home from Vegas. I couldn't sleep and everyone around me was chatting away. So I pretended to talk in my sleep. People stopped talking. I heard someone say "should we wake her up?" and another say "no, I don't think we're supposed to." After a few mumbled phrases I stopped. And after about a minute the chatting started again.

Now, you may think that was just obnoxious- it was- but it was so much fun! And I kept a straight face! Davin thought it was weird, as did others, but hey, it kept me entertained for a few minutes! So if you're ever looking for something to do on a boring flight, take this into consideration. Just don't talk about bombs or anything. I suspect that may get you into some mighty trouble.

And there's the missing story...

My all-time favorite youtube video!
