Day 330

Happy Thanksgiving!

Day 164

Tonight was an event that I've been looking forward to for five years. The radio station that I listen to features comedians in the morning and afternoon for about five minute sketches. I love standup comedy for some reason. I love to laugh.

For the last five years, the station has brought in four of their favorite comedians for a night of comedy. I have never been able to go due to birthday parties, newborn babies, or just plain scheduling conflicts. This year when they announced it for the day after my birthday, then I just knew I was going to be clearing the calendar that night and celebrating my birthday in style.

It was a great night! Of the four comedians, I really enjoyed three of them and fourth was okay. That's actually not too bad. One of the guys is coming back in October and I'm hoping we can find the time on the calendar and scrounge up the funds to go.

There were no pictures allowed inside the venue, so I'm glad I stopped to snap this picture before we went in to find our seats.

Day 116

In a relatively spur of the moment move, we joined our friends for an evening out to see some Christian comedians. To be perfectly honest, I really didn't expect a whole lot, but it was a fantastic evening!

The group was the Apostles of Comedy and their mission is to prove that you can enjoy comedy without vulgarity, foul language, and sexual innuendo, and they did a fantastic job of it! My only regret was that they were not in town for more than one night. As I was sitting in the audience, I could think of so many people who would have enjoyed this as well.

Day 85

We're nearly a quarter of the way through the year and I don't think I've even mentioned my job. I work a full-time schedule - three days in the office and eight hours worked into my time at home.

Today in the office, I looked at this comic on my calendar all day before I succumbed to pressure and had to get myself some hot chocolate. The comic is another one of my favorites - Baby Blues. In it Hammie has snuck Zoe's hot chocolate and the chocolate mustache gives him away.

The mug is from one of our vendors. I work in sales for a fastener distributor. Don't have any idea what that means? Neither does about 99% of the population. You should see how giddy we get when someone has a clue what we sell. This particular manufacturer makes retaining rings. Look it up.

Day 72

Since I wasn't really inspired with anything to take a picture of today, I thought I'd browse through my pictures of the boys and see if I could use anything. When I saw this one it just made me laugh out loud.

Matt was playing around in the rocket this evening and was peeking out the windows. He squished his little, chubby face right up against the plastic window and this was the result.


It struck me as so funny!

Day 60

I don't take a lot of time to read the comics, but I do try to catch my favorites on Sundays. One that I look forward to reading is The Pajama Diaries by Terri Libenson. Her humor often hits close to home.

Today's seemed especially appropriate for my life, so I'm sharing a completely unauthorized reproduction.


Make sure you click on the image so you can read it. The gist is that when men decide to turn in for the night, it's takes five minutes. When women do, it's a two hour process. This is totally my life! That and I'm rarely in bed before midnight.

Thanks Terri!

Day 59

This was one of those moments where I just had to laugh at myself!

I had this bag of mini M&Ms, and I was too lazy to go track down the scissors to open it properly. I figured I could just open it without them. In a total comedic moment, the bag burst open and there were mini M&Ms all over my desk. This photo is of the ones on my keyboard.

I'll probably be finding the little Ms for a while. Or one of my guys will. ;)
