Funny Friday #3

Funny Friday #2

I just love readers digest, for the main reason that they have good jokes. :) Whenever I visit the chiropractor (which is more often than I would like), I like to read the funny snippets from the magazine. So, since many people will begin decorating for the holidays today, I thought I'd post this little blurb from Reader's Digest.

What Your Christmas Tree Says About You
White Lights You ask houseguests to remove their shoes
Mulitcolored lights you're an extrovert
Blinking lights you have attention deficit disorder.

Homemade ornaments You have lots of children
Strung popcorn you have too much time on your hands
Red balls only you wish you lived in a department store.

Yellow star on top you're traditional
Glowing Santa on top you shop at Kitsch'R'Us
Cutoff top You didn't measure the tree

Vague evergreen smell you bought a healthy tree
Strong evergreen smell you sprayed your tree with pine-sol
Just plain smelly there's a dead bird in your tree

-Rebecca Munsterer

Funny Friday

considering the title of my blog, not only is it important to smile, but it's important to laugh. And since i just can't help myself with these cheesy alliterations, i thought i'd post funny things on fridays. :)

So...today, being the first Funny Friday of How to Smile, i'd like to share an amazingly hilarious blog with you. My sister-in-law, Jody, just introduced me to it today. I read his first real post, & i was laughing so hard by the first paragraph, that tears were streaming from my eyes, and i could hardly get through the rest. This man just has a perfect way with words. So without further ado, you must check out Life Between Naps and at very minimun read his post titled, "Raisin Ruby"

12 days of....

With thanksgiving just a few days away, i thought you might enjoy watching this video, to help you get into the holiday spirit. :)

Fun

Thanks, Jessica for sending me a link to some fun videos by MercyMe, a popular christian band (well-known for their song, "I can Only Imagine".)

I thought all my girlfriends from Dallas would enjoy this one, especially. ;~)


Here's "Ice Baby"


and "The Eye of the Tiger"


"Never Gonna Give You Up"

"wow! I get to give birth *and* change diapers!"

My mom found a bunch of cute cards the other day & showed them to me. The were so wonderful that I had to check out the website of the person who made them. These were some of my favorites. :)

Great Quotes

Here are some fun quotes that i've heard/read recently... i plan to add them to my sidebar shortly.

"I'm CDO. That's like OCD, except the letters are in alphabetical order, like they're supposed to be."

"Setting a good example for children takes all the fun out of life." - William Feather

"What good can come from a day that starts with getting up?"

"Ever notice that 'what the hell' is always the right decision?"

Airline Fees

Here's a funny video that Ruth showed us over the weekend... so perfect after flying all weekend. :)

all those kids!

I saw a bumper sticker the other day. i've *got* to find one for myself, now.


"I child-proofed my house, but they keep getting in!"

good answers.

Dad commented on my last post, that i should have some sort of answer to give people when they make their comments. I agree, but unfortuntely, i'm not very quick verbally. --even when i plan ahead, can't do it.

The most common comment i get from people is, "wow, you have your hands full." I actually apreciate it when people say that, because it says to me that people care about the amount of work i put into raising my children. I usually hold up four fingers (representing my 4 kids) and then show the other six & say "not yet. I still need six more." :)

Anyway, i found this funny website awhile back that has clever answers to people "lots of kids" remarks. you can check it out here.

They're pretty funny, but here are some of My favorites:

Haven't you heard of birth control?
(for dad) Yes, but I just can't find a rubber that will fit me! (BWA-HAHAHAHA!)

Are you planning to have any more?
Before we were married we planned on having 2, but I didn't know that my husband couldn't count!

Don't you know what causes that?
*Oh yes, we finally figured it out and we now keep the tooth brushes in seperate glasses!
*Oh yes, I now wash my husband's underwear seperately.
*Water or sex but I don't want to give up either.

Are they all yours?
*No, this is not all of them, my oldest is at home with the triplets.
*No, actually two are the mailman's and I am not sure whose is that one.....
*No, a couple of them starting following us a few minutes ago. -- This is especially funny when you look at your kids and realize that one of them really ISN'T yours -- he had just started following you and you didn't notice before...
*No, I picked up a couple extra in the produce aisle.
*Of course they're all mine. Do you think I take six (or fill in your number) kids shopping for fun?
*Yes, and they're such good kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (the kids love that one!)
*Of course they are..wait..who is that one?Hes not ours.....oh,yeah,#5,I forgot I had him.
*I don't know. How many do you count?
*Yes. But if you have any you don't want, I'll gladly take them, too
*No. I've been an avid collector for years and just picked these up in the food court!
*Yes, at least that's what I tell my husband. (hee-hee!)

you can do it!

okay... since i have nothing interesting to talk about, i thought i'd post this commerial. i forgot about it when i was talked about commerials earlier. what tickles me is that the first time i saw it, i was going, "this is so corny, it just canNOT be real." and i was so pleased to find out that it wasn't! :)

Poor little bunny

My dad was sick over the holidays, so this became a running joke w/the family. loved this video!

scatterbrained

As i'm trying to get organized & pack for our trip to Texas, tomorrow, i'm reminded of an email that Ruth sent me. This *so* describes my life, that I made chris read it, so he could better understand me. :)

Recently, I was diagnosed with C. A. A. D. D. - Child Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests: I decide to do the laundry. As I start toward the basement, I notice that there are cheerios all over the floor and my house keys are in the cereal bowl. I decide to pick up the cheerios before I do the laundry. I lay my keys down on the counter, put the cheerios in the trash can under the counter, and notice that the trash can is full. So, I decide to take out the trash. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash I may as well pay the bills first. I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only one check left, my extra checks are in my desk in the office, so I go to my desk where I find a sippy cup full of juice. I'm going to look for my checks, but first I decide I should put the sippy cup in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the sippy cup a plant on the counter catches my eye--it needs to be watered. I set the sippy cup on the counter, and I discover baby wipes that I've been searching for all morning. I decideI better put them back in the bathroom, but first I'm going to water the plants. I set the wipes back down, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote, left on the kitchen table.I realize that when I go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the plants. I splash some water on the plant, but most of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down, get some paper towels and wipe up the spill. Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day: the laundry isn't washed, the bills aren't paid,there is a warm cup of juice sitting on the counter, the plants aren't watered, there is still only one check in my check book, I can't find the remote, I can't find the wipes, and I don't remember what I did with my keys. Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired.I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail. Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message, because I don't remember to whom it has been sent.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming.

And I wonder why I find dirty diapers in the fridge. :)

so this is my last post until i return from Texas! Merry Christmas to you all!

fun things to do in an elevator

found this years ago, but i still think about it... thought i'd share.

1) CRACK open your briefcase or handbag, peer Inside and ask "Got enough air in there?"
2) STAND silent and motionless in the corner facing the wall without getting off.
3) WHEN arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act as if you're embarrassed when they open themselves.
4) GREET everyone with a warm handshake and ask him or her to call you Admiral.
5) MEOW occasionally.
6) STARE At another passenger for a while. Then announce in horror: "You're one of THEM" - and back away slowly
7) SAY -DING at each floor.
8) SAY "I wonder what all these do?" And push all the red buttons.
9) MAKE explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
10) STARE, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce: "I have new socks on."
11) WHEN the elevator is silent, look around and ask: "Is that your beeper?"
12) TRY to make personal calls on the emergency phone.
13) DRAW a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers: "This is my personal space."
14) WHEN there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder, then pretend it wasn't you.
15) PUSH the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.
16) ASK if you can push the button for other people but push the wrong ones.
17) HOLD the doors open and say you're waiting for your friend. After a while, let the doors close and say "Hi Greg, How's your day been?"
18) DROP a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream: "That's mine!"
19) BRING a camera and take pictures of everyone in the lift.
20) PRETEND you're a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the Passengers.
21) SWAT at flies that don't exist.
22) CALL out "Group hug" then enforce it.

#18 made me laugh out loud.
I really wanna try #10 some day.

Barats And Bereta

heather sent me a fun video about mother's day, by a couple of guys named "Barats and Bereta" I'm not posting it, 'cause i'm guessing most of you have seen it.

but after watching that one, i went through & watched a bunch of other videos by the same guys. They were pretty funny. I especially enjoyed this one:
