Adult Truths #5

"A fitted sheet can only be folded by magic."

I find this particularly apropos today as I am, once again, looking at a lump that very closely resembles a wad of chewed-up bubble gum...  Sigh...  Where's my wand?

Another Amazing Day in Colorado

The weather here has been absolutely gorgeous the past few days!  

I believe the name of this area is Confluence Park - 

it is behind the REI Flagship store in Denver.

Excellent place to walk and ride.  

There's also a water park area where people were kayaking. 

It's Colorado, so we are expecting freezing temps in just a couple of days...  

Well, it is January, after all :-)

Speeding Senior Citizen

Despite the fact that I read the comics every morning, I'm not actually into jokes, so it will be rare to see one here.  However, this one was worth repeating :-)




A Florida senior citizen drove her brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership...

Taking off down the road, she pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through her snow white hair. "Amazing!" she thought as she flew down I-75,  pushing the pedal even more.

Looking in her rear view mirror, she saw a Florida State Trooper, blue lights flashing and siren blaring.   She floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120.  Suddenly, she thought, "What am I doing?  I'm too old for this!" and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival.

Pulling in behind her, the  trooper got out of his vehicle and walked up to the Corvette.  He looked at his watch, then said, "Ma'am, my shift ends in 30 minutes.  If you can give me a reason for speeding - a reason I've never heard before - I'll let  you go."

The elderly lady paused then said: "Three years ago, my husband ran off with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing him back."

"Have a good day, Ma'am,"  replied the  trooper.

A Perfect Day!

Colorado.  Blue sky.  Friday.  61 degrees.

A walk in the park with Miss Daisy.

Life doesn't get any better!

Alegria!

Amazing what can be done by a traveling production!!  

Who? Me?

No I have not seen your lipstick,why would you even ask me that? 

I'm insulted! Every time something goes missing around here, 

everybody looks at me!

            This is not my little Daisy, but it's still one of the funniest things I've seen going around the internet!

People Who Don't Make the News

What floats my boat today??  Honest people!  I left my leather jacket at Starbucks and someone turned it in...  The folks at Starbucks were kind enough to keep it until I claimed it :-)

We are constantly surrounded by news that reports the bad, but rarely do we hear about the good.  I truly believe that our world has more good than evil in it.   Here's to whoever found my jacket and didn't walk out with it - Thank You, Thank You!!

Adult Truths #4

"There is great need for a sarcasm font."

Oh my gosh, is there ever?!?!

You didn't miss anything, #2 and #3 didn't make the cut...

What a Busy Day... Not!

More of What's Going Around Facebook

This actually worked and, of course, I played along.  I'm always happy to share the smiles...

1. Go to Google Maps and click on "Get Directions." 2. Enter "USA" as your start point. 3. Enter "Japan" as your destination. 4. Go to the 31st point on your route. 5. When you stop laughing, post this as your status so that others can laugh at it too!

Rise and Shine...

Dear Lord:

So far today, Lord, I've done all right.  I haven't gossiped, haven't lost my temper, haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or over-indulgent.  I'm very thankful for that!  But in a few minutes, Lord, I'm going to get out of bed and, from eight on, I'm probably going to need a lot more help...

Amen :-)

Note:  I've had this for so long, I no longer remember where or when or from whom I received it.  However, it fits me so well, I must have a cosmic twin out there somewhere.

Adult Truths #1

My sister sent me a great e-mail yesterday titled "Adult Truths."  Some of them were really funny and right on the money.  I'll be sharing a few of them :-)

"Part of a best friend's job should be to IMMEDIATELY clear your computer history if you die."

Not that this is relevant to me, mind you, just a precautionary reminder to others...

Geese Galore

I think I live in the only city where geese can bring traffic on a major thoroughfare to a complete standstill...    There seemed to be some sort of disturbance about 1/2 block ahead - the traffic wasn't moving in any direction.  Pretty soon, the southern-most lane starts moving, then the next lane north, then the next, then it was my turn.  As I get closer, I see the last few stragglers slowly waddling out of the bike lane up onto the grass.   Canadian Geese migrate here in droves every winter and just take over.   HEAVEN FORBID you are not under cover when a fox (or anything else, for that matter) scares them and they take flight en masse!!

Laughter is Good For You!

I found this on comcast.net this morning under a slide show about easy energy boosters.  All the ideas come from Real Simple (which has a GREAT website - realsimple.com).

Get the Giggles

“With laughter, you reap the recharging benefits of exercise without having to spend time at the gym,” says Clifford Kuhn, M.D., a professor of psychiatry at the University of Louisville, in Kentucky, who is also known as the Laugh Doctor and happens to sell red clown noses on his website (drcliffordkuhn.com). “After a good laugh, you experience a momentary surge of energy, which—in addition to reducing stress and boosting immunity—can help your body regenerate more healthful cells over time,” he says.

Bathing Beauty

Miss Daisy catching some warm Colorado rays.  

I wish I could fit into this sunny spot!!

What's Going Around Facebook

I have quite the cast of characters on my Facebook Friend List, so almost everyday brings something to laugh about.  This one cracked me up!!  I decided to share it because, as I do my chores, it keeps popping up in my mind (like the song that gets stuck in your head) and giving me a little chuckle.

"PLEASE READ!!! If someone comes to your front door and asks you to remove your clothes and dance with your arms in the air, DO NOT DO THIS. It is a scam. They just want to see you naked. Please copy and paste this to your status. I wish I had received this yesterday..."

Saved by the Microwave

Today's big thrill is a new microwave.  Some folks may roll their eyes, but I am completely serious - I am so excited!!  With a busy schedule that sometimes requires separate meal times combined with culinary skills that are somewhat lacking, the past week has been very challenging in the kitchen...  Hunan's (our favorite take-out) just doesn't taste the same re-heated on the stove and cheese quesadillas are impossible!  Hip, hip hurray for Doug and Brianne's installation job!!  Woohoo!!

Living Room Romp

The idea behind this blog is to find the little things in life that make me happy or smile.  Today I spent some serious quality time chasing Daisy around the living room while clapping my hands.   She was thrilled and got in some exercise.  I was laughing and my spirits were much lighter.  Not that I would have wanted anyone to see us, but still...  great fun!
