Now, for laughter — I have 2 things to share today:
*****
I volunteered to help out with the children’s choir at church - for their Christmas performance. We had rehearsal yesterday. There is this adorable little girl in the choir… I think she is in kindergarten… the smallest child in the choir. She was to lead the group offstage at the end of the performance. I kept saying, “Now ‘YOU, HONEY’ go this way…”. I could not remember her name. I finally broke down:
Me (bending to reach her eye-level): Honey. I am so sorry, but I can’t remember your name…
Little girl: Wolf
Me, to this very adorable, very sweet, very girly little girl: I’m sorry. What?
I am posting this a little late. I missed my 12 a.m. posting cuzza I got a belly ache & the shivvvvvers last night and collapsed into bed. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Makes me wonder if all that smoked salmon dip and bottle of wine didn’t agree with me so much… It has me wondering if I am a good decision-maker afterall…
Aaaaanywho. And THEN, this morning, I dove into iChat with my friend Casey and then our kids iChatted until the laptop battery died… Thank you for your patience. I suggest you take a seat… or bookmark this for when you have 5 or so minutes to giggle with Ellen DeGeneres as she chats with Glady’s… It. Is. Adorable. At one point she says, “I love Jesus but I drink a little.” I think it would be awesome to spend Christmas with Gladys… and wine… at her house… Thank you Aunt Jame for alerting me to this clip!

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…
“I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause…” EWWW! Not so much! I don’t care WHO is under that beard and bright-red suit…. No. Just… NO. My kids are creeped-out by the thought of it too. What can I say, I raise smart kids.
Lucy’s preschool Christmas party was yesterday. Every year (all my kids have gone to this preschool) Santa comes to deliver little gifts to the children. Usually Santa is our teacher’s husband, but this year it was a student’s grandfather. This detail is important for later.
Each year, Mrs. Cindy has the children prepare songs to perform for the parents. It truly is delightful. I remember the first year with my son when “J’s” jingle bells sailed across the preschool for all the jingle-bell passion and heart he put into his choreography. This year… My sweet Cole… At first I thought it was adorable, all her chicken-bock-bock-bocking and twirling and passion, and singing to her classmates instead of to the parents. “Oh, she’s so social!” I thought.
THEN as she continued, I began to freak out a bit. I wondered if she was exhibiting signs of certain health issues. This is not the funny part. I was actually a bit freaked. People, my daughter was acting WEIRD. I wish I could show video, but for her online protection and protection of the other kiddos, I regret I cannot :( It is pee-your-pants funny as well as A-to-the-dorable.
Back to the party — At one point, I overheard a friend say, “She’s gone. She’s gone…” I took it as. “She (a preschooler) escaped the property, we must form a search party!”. No. Apparently sweet little “E” was in her car with a tummy ache - because she was afraid of SANTA!
After the performance, the children and parents waited for Santa’s arrival. Santa hadn’t even made it through the door when “B’s” face dropped. It was like she had seen a ghost. She began to cry and ran to her mother saying, “I don’t like Santa!!!”.
I am happy to report, Santa’s feelings were not hurt in all of this — and as far as I know “B” and “E” are doing just fine. I am thinking Santa is doing just fine to, because the last I heard about him was when the preschool teacher’s husband said,
I am going to go help Santa get undressed.
*insert my junior-high sex-ed class giggle here*

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…
You may (ormaynot) already know that I am somewhat of a juvenile when it comes to my humor-style/appreciation. Simple things for simple minds? Perhaps. I prefer the term, “comedic genius”, but… you may use another term and why don’t you just keep that to yourself, m’kay pumpkin? So glad we are on the same page.
As a refresher, in case you are unfamiliar with what makes me laugh — words like “junk” and “business” and “salve” and “follicle” and… aaaanywho. You get the jist. So imagine you are in the car with me, and I drive past these advertisements:
Pretty much we are pullin’ over so I can take a minute to regain my composure… not pee my pants, and also take a picture for mah blog. And also, we will be late to your appointment… Sorry.
Or how about this… I am reading Skippyjon Jones and the Big Bones *snicker* to my childrenses one night, and imagine my moral dilemma when I read the following:
Then he popped a pickle in his puss. He slapped some glue all over his newfound bone and stuck it onto his model.
*blinking*
I can hardly write this without flopping on the floor in hysterical laugher… not unlike a 13 year old in sex-ed class. Excuse me. I need a moment…
How many of you Twitter? If you do, you are familiar with the email alerting you to new followers. Imagine my reaction when saw this in my email subject line:
Infection is now following you on Twitter!
Quite honestly, I was sure if I should laugh or start scratching… I also recieved this alert:
Santa Clause is now following you on Twitter!
Kinda wasn’t sure whether to write him or lock my windows…

Have something funny to share? Let’s try Mr. Linky one more week and see if he plays nice. Excited to see what ya’ll have found!

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…
I love reading the search keyphrases that bring people to my site. I also gag a little at times because, well… let’s just say the Internets has gots some creepies trollin’ around out there. I try to craft phrases so as to keep the freaks at bay, but sometimes a creep is just a creep no matter how innocently I write about a slipper. It’s true.
But onto the good stuff. Here is just a sampling of search phrases that drive the public to my little home here on the world wide interwoven web of information (sans the ones that make me feel dirty). Some of these make me laugh, and some just drive me to provide answers. Obviously I have something these folks need, and if My wisdom will make the world a better place, far be it from me to keep the world from becoming better. Without further ado, select searches and my commentary:
what happens when a nine year old cracks her knuckles? - A tree falls in the forest, but no one can hear it.
jokes about strawberries - Two strawberries were sitting on a fence swinging their legs back and forth… One strawberry said to the other, “Wait a minute. We don’t have any legs.”
concept of time - BWAAAAAHAhahahahahahahaaaa!!!
sumo spitting mistress - This is a case in which I actually gag.
chubby girl jeans - This is a case in which I feel judged and attacked. *opens box of cookies*
mayflower ship craft for kids - Aha! It is actually called The Cauliflower…
how to spawn a car on the spot - Hmmm… ya’ll? I’m at a loss.
how to spot personality disorders - Hey! Should I feel offended?
how to spritz glitter - Do not look directly into the glitter spray nozzle… I repeat: DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE GLITTER SPRAY NOZZLE!
spot crazy blogher - You know it. That’s right.
does chuck norris bleed? - No. He MAKES blood bleed. Duh!
a pic to make my friend laugh - I dunno, this one made ME laugh. Maybe it will make your friend laugh.
butt cake molds - No. Shame on you.
i have a story just call me jenny - This blog. My story. You hit fool’s gold here, My searcher friend… fool’s gold.
popped blood vessel in neck warmth - 2 things: 1) How’d my site come up & B) who searches for this stuff???
how to make monday fun day - Visit Kerryonthespot on Mondays!
child who spits - Mine. All 3. It can be like friggin’ rain forest around here some days.
dose the tooth fairy take the day off - At our house she does. She is actually “off” more than she is “on”.
why does the tooth fairy have wings? - Seriously? Did some really search that? There is just some knowledge we are born with. This is one of those cases. Even I can’t help this person.
multiple personality disorder when drinking - Are you talking about the state of being “drunk”? That is not MPD. Or are you talking about “beer goggles”? That has nothing to do with personality. I would call that more of a visual-judgement disorder… It can be pretty serious, I understand.
So, the other day (7daysago) Paul and I sauntered into a cute little shop. In that shop I saw this sign:
I immediately began thinking of place to hang a sign that was OBVIOULSY crafted just for Me. I thought, “Can I make that into a necklace? Can I mount that somewhere on my car? Maybe I should just place it above the front door of my home…”
As my mind raced with options, my husband made his preference known,
WE SHOULD HANG THAT OVER OUR BED.
He is such a guy… and yes we should.

Has anything made YOU laugh lately???

Greetings friends and lurkers! Today’s installment of MMLM has to do with communication. In the spirit of this concept I would like to communicate with you about what Make Me Laugh Monday is about… you can find this information at the end of this post. But first, I want to try to make you laugh… Priorities people, priorities!
I went to a marriage conference this weekend… All about love, and patience and communication. At the event, the speaker showed a HILARIOUS commercial. I knew this commercial would have to be today’s MMLM post.
Did that make you laugh? Did ya laugh? Did ya, huh? Huh? *giggling*
Not only is it Make Me Laugh Monday, but it is also, MMLM… November 3, 2008… Which means it is the day before the 2008 Presidential election which means I can totally make fun of a lot of people here, and who am I to pass up an opportunity, aye?
Therefore and hithertofor… I post one of those FW: fwd: FWD:: emails, that truly made me laugh. It is not often one of those “FW: fwd: FWD::” emails really gets my gut rolling, so I knew I had to share it. You may have received this email, and if so… enjoy it again. If not, then… have fun! Also, I added one at the end. I’m crazy like that.
You wanna know my favorite? Aristotle. I chose him so you’d think I was all-deep and philosophophish. When you leave a comment, tell me which one is YOURS!
You guessed it! It’s Make Me Laugh Monday! I had the pleasure of laughing this weekend, and two of the instances were caught on film. The first picture is of my 3 year old daughter, Cole… eating a hot dog, but not the bun. Low-carbers, this may be your poster-child:
Next up - Lisa (The Blozulfog) and me. Lisa and I are always putting our nonsense together and changing the world in fabulous ways. Remember that one day you had that was so fabulous? It was us. I don’t know exactly how, but we were behind the fabulouness of your day. Yup.
For quite some time we have peed our britches giggled over the fact that we have appointed ourselves the President (Me) and Vice-Prez (her) of The Dance Party. However, People - last week we made it official. We created a group on Facebook, appropriately named — The Dance Party. We are looking to take over the world… In our world all disputes are resolved in a dance-off, and our platform? Uh… SHOES! Duh! The following picture was taken on Saturday. We went to the local casino to do some very serious campaigning… The Spazmatics (one of our faves!) provided the groove, and because we are committed to serving Our People we took this picture with two of the band members. People of The Dance Party… know we are always representin’. We are working hard on the campaign trail… for you!

It’s your turn! Feel free to use the MMLM image in your post! Plug into Mr. Linky down below, and link back to this post if you can. So tell me, what’s so stinkin’ funny?

Hey, hey, heeeeyyyyy!!! It’s Monday again! Aren’t we all just tickled to meet a Brand. New. Week?
No? Oh. Well, I am super excited for a new week because I am that impossibleI get better lookin’ every day it means my birthday is 2 weeks from today and I just can’t wait to see what you all get for me! And since it is my nature to HELP people, I will help you by vaguely hinting at the things I like: those Martha Stewart cake plates at Macy’s *swoon*, Starbucks gift cards are always a hit (go caffeine!), um… there is always something at Athleta.com that strikes my fancy (textile lust, textile lust…), Buckle has a pair of jeans I visit every so often to drool upon, oh… and I love that rectangle-shaped green paper that has pictures of U.S. Presidents and Founding Fathers on it. THAT stuff is awesome! My favorite Founding Father is Benjamin Franklin. *ahem*
Today I am doing something a bit different for Make Me Laugh Monday. Today I am going to recommend a book! Granted, I haven’t actually completely finished the book, but I carry it around wherever I go in the hopes I will finish every last drop of it *slurp*. It is not a romance novel - were my theme “Make Me Feel Romanced Monday”, I’d might suggest a romance novel. Were the theme “Make Me Sweat Monday” I might suggest a book on exercise, but this is Make Me Laugh Monday, so I will dangle a sweet carrot of humor before you and suggest you read this funny book — In the Event of My Untimely Demise: 20 Things my Son Needs to Know, by Brian Sack.
