Thank you ever so much to V for these delights:

Cake Wrecks

Bridesmaids’ Newest Duty – I’ll just state this now, I will never inject anything into my body just to look better for a wedding. If you want a model in your wedding party, hire one. I’m negotiable on the boob job.

And for this one, I thank Elephant Soap.

It has monopolized my weekend and I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard at a blog ever. In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I sent link after link to friends and coworkers just to share the laughs. I was saddened to learn that one such person had “been reading her for years – she’s great!” Stop HOARDING THE FUNNY!

Do the 42 dimensions here include appendages?

Method to My Madness

I eat the broken chips first (potato, tortilla, corn, etc.). It’s “survival of the fittest.” Natural selection, even. Had they been strong chips, they’d have stayed whole and survived longer.

As a side note, those chips deliberately broken by any meal companions don’t count as “broken” in the true sense. I consider those artificially broken and are not necessarily weaker so much as bullied. I feel sorry for bullied chips.

Don’t get me wrong, when the bottom of the bowl approaches, no chip is truly safe. I enjoy eating them all – especially with queso. I’m just saying that, as with everything in life, there’s a hierarchy.

Love Thy Neighbor

As if the neighbors needed more reason to quickly divert their gazes from us, I find this delightful item. Think maybe seeing this will keep the dogs from peeing on my new bushes? Watching the looks on the kids’ faces alone would make this worth the $90!

Replace That Old Gnome With A Garden Zombie

Silence is Golden

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit a restroom in an eatery near my home. I entered the restroom which had 4 stalls and took an obviously open one. I was silent (as one should be in a restroom) and proceeding about my business when I heard a sound from the stall next to me.

What could that be? It isn’t! No! It’s a cell phone ringing. And is that rummaging I hear? No! Please tell me it’s not!

Yes folks, SHE DID IT! She answered the phone while in the stall doing her own business! And she had a conversation that all could hear without any consideration for other occupants or the person on the phone. This didn’t even sound like an important conversation. Not a long-lost friend, an emergency with the kids, or even plans for the afternoon. It was a casual conversation. I was dumbfounded and knew I should do something quickly. So I flushed. Then I smiled knowing there was no way the other person would want to continue a conversation and she would now be mortified. Nope, she kept on conversing then flushed and exited her stall.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, she then proceeded to the only sink to wash her hands (one at a time so she could hold the phone and not interrupt the conversation) while the rest of us stood in line watching her futile and inconvenient attempt to multi-task. Some people are just oblivious to those around them.

Please, don’t ever call me while in the restroom or answer my call while you’re preoccupied with the same. I promise to be understanding when you return my call only moments later.
