Sh*t My Dad Says

If you haven't read Sh*t My Dad Says by Justin Halpern then you are really missing out. We've all had parents and they've most assuredly said something or done something that was ridiculously embarrassing or crazy and this book hilariously connects with its reader on that level.

I was wary at first when my boyfriend handed it to me. Having seen the television show and deeming it not worthy to take up space on my DVR, I was apprehensive about the book but since it was only about 150 pages and came with a glowing recommendation from my boyfriend I figured that I'd give it a try.

I read the whole book, laughing the whole way through at the humorous anecdotes and the similar situations I had with my own parents. Definitely add this to your list of books to read.

Worse then the Avian Flu

Everywhere I go I have to listen to Angry Birds this and Angry Birds that. I have played the game and it is pretty fun but not so fun that my entire life should revolve around it. The radio is not safe, the internet is not safe, and now work is not safe.

A couple of people at work have become so addicted to this game that they are playing it at work, even when we are behind on our workload. Seriously?

When I saw this video I knew that I just had to share, because I love Star Trek and frustrated with everyone addicted to Angry Birds so I found it completely hilarious. : )

Over the River and Through the Woods........

On our way back from my Grandmother's 70th birthday party in Alabama, we stopped in Pensacola, Florida to play on the beach. Even though it was 60 degrees outside and the water was even colder we still had a lot of fun.

Here are some pictures of the good times that I took with my new Windows 7 Phone. (I'm loving it so far!)

We were feeding them cheesy bugles. They really liked them! : )

 When we ran out of bugles they went after our shoes!

This was at a gas station on the way home and I just thought it was funny.

All in all it was a pretty fun trip. My family is spread all over the south so it isn't very often that we can all get together.

New Years Eve

All I’m going to say for now is:

 

1. Alcohol was definitely involved
2. There was some gambling
3. Yeah someone passed out and got markered
4. Yeah someone threw up --- Causing other drunks to need to puke. LOL
5. Kinect Sports + Alcohol = LOTS of FUN!!!!

 

Perhaps I shall post stories later, but for now I don’t know where to start.

More Evidence that Stupid People walk the Earth

As many of you know when you work a retail job you see some crazy things. Yesterday I do believe we had a true demonstration of stupidity.

A man comes in and is looking around. He asks where the bathroom is and we tell him. Nothing interesting there, you never know where you'll be when nature calls. He wanders around the store "browsing." Before he walks out the door he looks at the TV display where we are selling these really cute portable Televisions and looks to the cashier and says I'll be back for the TV and walks out the door.

He just successfully stole over $90 worth of merchandise. But that's not the crazy part.

About 15 minutes later the manager gets a call from a customer saying that she thought that the guy was stealing stuff from the store so he reviews the tapes and sure enough there was video footage of this guy cramming stuff in his pockets.

Here's the good part....

Less then a hour later the guy comes back, just like he said he would, and his first order of business is to try to return all the items he just stole for store credit.

Seriously?

He just went out to his car and took off all the magnetic strips and came back inside. If he hadn't come back we'd probably never have caught him. If you want a mini-TV that bad then get a job or just steal the stupid TV.

The story ends with the guy in the back of a police car. Justice has been served.

I've only got three things to say to you today!!

1) I am super excited about our trip down south for the weekend!

OK, now that I've gotten that out of my system.

2) One of the things I enjoy is looking at and (when I have money) buying funny/cool t-shirts. So I figured that as I peruse the Internet in search of awesome shirts I'd post some of them here so that you don't have to go hunting for hours clicking through trying to find something that is in the least bit worth while. In that spirit I will post a picture and link to an awesome shirt for you're enjoyment.

My current favorite on the list is the one I found on Amazon of R2D2 running away from a giant Star Wars Camel

3) Again I was perusing the Internet when I found this blog post and felt the need to share. It's basically some pictures of some FAIL cakes in honor of breast cancer awareness month. Now I realize that breast cancer is serious, but you just can't help but want to V8 slap whoever made these.

Here's the link:

You should go look, its pretty funny! : )

Silly Goats

My folks have some land down south where they have created a little farm. There are goats, donkeys, and lots and lots of squash.

Sophie & her Babies : )

Donkeys Dixie & Chloe

I love all the animals, they are pretty funny to watch and will follow you around if they think you'll give them a treat. So naturally when I saw goats on the news I had to share it with everyone. Goats are super sweet and social animals, but they aren't particularly bright. This is one reason why you have to have really good fences that they can't escape or get stuck in. Fortunately there was a happy ending.

Check out this news video!!

Aren't they so cute! Poor Goats! : )

 

 

Its Business Time

As I said before I work two jobs. Job #1 -- I do design drafting at an engineering firm I've been there for 4 years now, Jesus that seems like a long time.  Job #2 -- I'm a pharmacy technician (since last November).

Yes I know that they have nothing to do with each other, perhaps later I'll explain how this happened, but not today.

Yesterday was another crazy day at job #2 and I came home went upstairs and passed out on the bed. A few hours later boyfriend came into my room singing a catchy little song. I didn't get it seeing as how I'd never heard it before, but being that I'm already awake now and I am who I am I started singing along even though I have no idea what the words are, sometimes I was singing with him other times I was just making stuff up. Then he breaks out his computer and proceeds to play the song. It was freaking hilarious! I had no idea what I was singing, but now I'm like "OMG this is so freaking hilarious!!"

I realize that this is probably a really old song, but I lived under a rock for the first 20 years of my life and I've only had 2 years to catch up. That being the case, all the awesome and funny stuff that y'all out in Internet land saw years ago is totally amusing to me.

Seriously though, I can remember being in high school and my parents telling me that the TV would melt my brain if I watched to much and that I better not watch that giant python sci-fi movie my sister and I have been drooling over for weeks. Yea, we thought that Disney and sci-fi channel movies were the best things out there. Well, to this day I do still love sci-fi, but not even 1 in 10 Disney movies is good any more and that makes me sad.
