Funny things that make me laugh

So, I’ve come to the conclusion that I should blog more often. That doesn’t mean it will actually happen, but it should. Funny things have been happening, and when they happen I think, “I have to blog about this,” but then I don’t. Then when I finally sit down to blog… can’t remember what I wanted to blog about. So here are the 2 funny things that I can remember….

When mom and I were on our way to Georgia, we were flying on one of the airlines that has XM radio. AWESOME! So, I decide to let my iPod have a break and I plug in and start surfing the XM channels. Mom does the same and finds the Broadway channel and is in Heaven. Anyway, as I’m listening, Daniel Powter’s "Had a bad Day" comes on. After hearing this song many times, I’ve decided I like it. So I reach over and start changing my mom’s XM station so that she can hear it. (I feel that I should share good music, it’s the nice thing to do, though apparently she didn’t think so) My mom says, “Hey! That’s mine, yours is on the other side.” So I explain to her that I’m trying to find a station so that she can hear the awesome song I’m listening to. She says, “I don’t want to listen to that song, I want to listen to what I was listening to.” And she starts smacking my hand away from the controls. Clearly she just doesn’t understand. So, for the sake of her musical enlightenment, I keep flipping the stations until I FINALLY find the right one. The whole time she is talking crazy, saying things like, “leave it alone,” “I was listening something else,” “BLAHBLAHBLAH.” I grip the arm rest and cover the controls with my hand, all in an effort to expand her musical horizons. I’m trying to help her here! And you know what she says to me?!?! This is a direct quote. As I’m trying to introduce new and wonderful things to my mother whom I love, she says, “YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF MY MUSIC!!!!!” I nearly lost it. I was cracking up! I know this probably isn’t nearly as funny to you all… but it’s my blog, and I think it’s hilarious.

So the next funny story (I’m realizing that the stories themselves aren’t that funny, it’s more there is a one-liner in the story that cracks me up… but whatever) happened on another trip. The author of the funny quote wishes to remain anonymous. Oh… yeah… one more thing….

So, my travel partner and I had just finished an awesome dinner at a really tasty restaurant. We were both beyond full and we were walking back to the car. The restaurant we ate at had very limited parking so we were forced to park across the street behind a Dunkin Donuts. So, as we’re walking back to the car we cut through the Dunkin Donuts parking lot and all the smells of tasty goodness waft their way into our noses and we both start salivating. Now, as I mentioned, we are both VERY full and have no desire to put anything else in our stomachs. So, we both start whining about how unfair it is that stupid Dunkin Donuts has to smell so good. And, can’t they keep their smells to themselves. So then my travel partner says, in a manner befitting a child whose parents have just declared their sibling the winner of an argument….. “Dunkin’ Fuckin’ Donuts!” Again, about lost it. Hilarious! Awesome! Dunkin’ Fuckin’ Donuts man! HAHA!

Ok, those are my funny stories for you, hope you enjoyed! Oh yeah… if we have hung out lately and you can think of funny things that have happened that I’ve said, “I need to blog about that” remind me so I can actually do it!

The Devil went down to Georgia…

Ok, actually, I went down to Georgia. So did my mom and eventually my dad. Thursday mom and I left and flew down to Atlanta for a conference. It was an ok conference. It was irritating because we had a retailer directly across from us and another one right beside us both selling our stuff for less than we were. The hours for the conference were really long too. We didn’t get a chance to do anything in Atlanta because we were both exhausted by the time the conference ended.

We were pretty psyched because we were staying in a Westin – yea for heavenly beds and heavenly baths. We got to the Westin and I was slightly less than impressed. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t a bad hotel, it just wasn’t what you expect when you hear the name Westin. I could go into detail, but that’s a lot of effort, and really, do you really care? Anyway, the bed was AWESOME and the shower totally ROCKED! I’ll just try to forget about the fact that I called Room Service 5 times and waited over an hour and half and still never got the set of silverware I asked for.

So Saturday the conference ended and I picked up dad from the airport. Mom and dad and I hopped in the car and started our trek to Savannah. Dad’s parents live in Savannah and we came to visit for a few days. Oh maybe I should mention that Dad’s parents didn’t know that he was coming, they thought it was just mom and me. Corky (dad’s mom) was thrilled. Yea for surprises!!! We’ve had a really good time just hanging out. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen Corky and Papa so it’s been fun. Only one problem…

I’M SICK!!!!!! SICK!!! I’m supposed to be on a mini-vacation spending quality time with my family and I can’t breathe through my nose! I’ve been poppin’ Allegra and snorting and over the counter nasal spray because I left my flonase at home like a dummy. My grandparents called their doctor and he won’t see me because I’m not a patient. I called my doctor and she said she could call in cough medicine for me. I’M NOT EVEN COUGHING!!!!!!

We head home tomorrow night and as much as I’ve enjoyed being here, it’ll be nice to be home, if for no other reason than so that I can have my flonase!

Read this instead!

Ok, i haven't posted in forever. I KNOW! Get over it! And now i'm not really going to post i'm gonna give you other things to read though! Linking = Posting! It's a law. Really i swear. it is. (in my world)

So some of you may know (ok really, all my readers know) I went to California a couple weeks ago for work. I could blog about that but.... Read this instead! It's Rica's story of our Cali trip. It's pretty much the same why I would tell it, except i would bitch A LOT more about being stuck in stupid Phoenix with no luggage and nothing to do. And I would definitely talk about the fact that In-N-Out is totally my happy place. Other than that... same story.

Also, I went to Massachusetts. I could blog about it, but.... Read this instead! It's Rica's story of our Mass trip. Are you sensing a theme yet? I love it when she does my work for me! Again, my story would have been pretty much the same, except i would have included these pictures for your amusement.



Ninja World! Is that awesome or what!?! I'm not really sure if Ninja World would have anything I need to buy. But i now sleep better at night knowing that there is a store named Ninja World in this world.


Ok, this next picture is really just for the Quitter. Not many other people will find it amusing. But she will. And that's the important part. So... here ya go Quitter!

Oh - one more thing that i have to share. On the flight out to Cali I flew Frontier airlines. They Freakin' ROCK! There's a TV in the back of EVERY SEAT!! AWESOME! So you can pay $5 to watch Direct TV, $8 to watch a movie, or you can watch their free channel. I opted for the free channel. So... they played a couple of music videos, 3 by this chick named Missy Higgins. She totally rocks my socks off! I already downloaded her CD from iTunes because i knew i just couldn't wait the 2 weeks it would have taken BMG to get it to me, even if it would have been free. Listen to this girl. She's GREAT. The whole CD is AWESOME, but if you would like to sample my favorite tracks on her website, listen to "Scar," "Ten Days," "All for Believing," and "The Special Two." I ADORE this chick and you should too!!!!!
