That's Where I Come From

So I was gonna write a serious blog or 2 today, and I still might, but after reading my sister's blog I just had to share. Check out what happened to her this morning in our wonderful hometown:

Thanks...I think

It would make it so much better if you knew my sister and could hear her voice telling this story, but it's hilarious nonetheless. Also, if you haven't seen the "Can I have your number?" sketch, you should watch it here and here.

Flying

So as I said in the last post, I'm traveling. I had 2 flights today. Airplanes remind me of one of my favorite youtube clips ever:

My Sister Finds the Greatest Videos

Check out the video on my sister's blog.

So True...

My friend sent me an email with a bunch of random thoughts. They are so true and so funny. I think several of them cross my mind everyday. Here are some favorites:

- I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was
younger.

- There is great need for a sarcasm font.

- Was learning cursive really necessary?

- Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty
sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

- I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

- Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't
want to have to restart my collection...again. (For me, this is DVD. I haven't stepped up to Blue Ray yet.)

- I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me
if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I
did not make any changes to.

- "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this -
ever.

- I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?...nothing), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

- I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing
anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

- I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to
answer when they call.

- Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and
suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.

- I would rather try to carry 10 over-loaded plastic bags in each hand
than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

- I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and
hunger.

- How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod
and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

- I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up
to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and
sisters!

- Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty,
and you can wear them forever.

- There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are
going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

- Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not
know what time it is.

- Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car
keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the
Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!
