Reader's Digest Favorites

Throughout the years I have occasionally picked up an issue of the Reader's Digest or had a subscription. The humor sections are my favorites and often have me laughing out loud I find them so funny. Well, I thought I'd share a couple good ones I've read recently to share the laughter. Enjoy!

First by Kay Strayer, Aurora Nebraska:

"There are women whose thoughtful husbands buy them flowers for no reason. And then there's me. One day I couldn't stand it any longer. 'Why don't you ever bring me flowers?' I asked.
"'What's the point?' my husband said. 'They die after about a week.'
"'So could you,' I shot back, 'but I still like having you around.'"

Second, by Dana Biscotti Myskowski, Henniker, New Hampshire:

"Like a typical teenager, my 15-year-old son dreaded our family vacation at a seaside cottage in the middle of Boring Nowhere. But his eyes brightened when I said, 'Did I tell you we'll be buying lobsters from Pamela Anderson? We'll even bike to her house to pick them up.'
"His face grew dark as the horrible truth dawned: 'There's more than one Pamela Anderson, isn't there?'"

Have a fabulous day! :)

My US Travels

Yes, I'm following the crowd on this one, but I think it will be ok....Here's my map of states I've visited. Clearly several holes, more if I'd not worked for Creating Keepsakes, and several of the states are on my list of places to visit someday. Now I do need to clarify that my visit to Texas was a layover, however, after a 7+ hour layover in the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport I think I can count that state. No other layovers but a few states I've just driven though as well...

Poor New Mexico, all there by itself. Guess I need to plan a road trip there soon so it's not such an island....

How do I fit the whole map????!!!!

My L-O-V-E Prediction

I'm sure you've all see it, MSN.com has a variety of articles that scroll through on their home page. Once in awhile they have various horoscopes. Now, I don't really get into all that stuff. I do read my horoscope weekly in the TV Guide but at the end of the week (for entertainment purposes only) and then I see if it "came true" and usually laugh at the predictions. Well, tonight they had an opportunity to view your love horoscope. I thought, "Why not? It's Friday night and I'm spending it home alone again. What could it hurt? Maybe I'll get a good laugh out of it." So I decided I'd see what they had to say for my love life (or lack thereof might be a better way to explain it, ah...so it goes sometimes....). Well, here's what the stars say about my love life, as of today:

"May 18, 2007
The current celestial energy encourages you not to put any limits on how good you think your love life can get. You may have done so in the past, based on what you feel you deserve, but the cosmic lineup right now is quite clearly saying that you deserve far more. You have every right to as much happiness as you can get. So go for it."

HA! We'll see about that. I'm sure it's good for nothing more than a great belly laugh. Thinking I deserve more and getting more are two totally different things. (Which might be part of the reason I'm home alone on a Friday night...I think I deserve better than just going out for the sake of going out and want to spend an evening with someone who interests me and isn't just a "free meal.") Guess I'll have to wait and see how it all plays out....[diabolical laughter and haunting theme music begins...]. I suppose someday I'll be able to tell myself, "I told you it'd all work out ok." (If I don't tell myself that, I'm sure someone out there will tell me instead.) Sadly, if history has a tendency to repeat itself, as I've heard it does, I won't be saying that for a long time. (But let's all keep praying I'm proven wrong on that account.)

The randomness of it all...

I HAVE to make this quick since it's late and I really need my sleep. I'm in the middle of an intensive 2-week phonetics course so my time is split between 3 hours/day in class, working part-time at a local high school as a teacher's aide and coming home and studying for several hours. I just thought I'd do a quick post with that update and so it doesn't seem quite so long since I last wrote. Bottom line-I'm alive, mostly well, busy and will get back to this probably in another week.

A few other random ideas:

-Why do people make promises they never intend to keep?
-Why, when you have absolutely no time, do you get a cold and feel wiped out?
-Why doesn't Utah use their left-turn arrow lights at more intersections?
-How come I always seem to post on my blog late at night?
-Why is it that since I decided to start blog I seem to have nothing to say?
-Why is it so fun to drive with the windows down & the radio blasting?
-What was I thinking taking this 2 week course?!
-Why did I let myself forget how fun it is to play volleyball, softball and other team sports?
-Why is it possible to have gray hair and zits?!
-Why do I not exercise regularly when I like the results, know the benefits and see a need?
-Why did I suddenly loose the sound on my computer?
-Why are there words that I always spell wrong, typed or written?
-How did we ever get along in life without cell phones, computers and the internet?
