Funny Friday: The One With The Chihuahua

I’m visiting family for Thanksgiving week, so I’m a little surprised Funny Friday is happening. I didn’t have an idea, until my mother-in-law literally placed one in my lap. The dog’s name is Daisy. She’s my brother-in-law’s pet. My brother-in-law is a fifty-year-old landscaper. I’ll just let you chew on that for a moment. The…

Funny Friday: The One With The Wines

I was recently discussing wine with a few friends. Don’t worry; the words “oaked” or “bouquet” didn’t enter the conversation. We were mostly telling funny wine stories. For example, on one wine acquisition outing, I was approached by an employee who seemed to know a thing or two about the more popular wines sold at that…

Funny Friday: The One With The Tip Jars

The great thing about Funny Friday posts is they make me find all the funny in the world. Today’s post takes something that can be uncomfortable and turns it into something that could brighten someone’s day: the tip jar. I think tip jars are a mainly American thing, and to be honest, I don’t always…

Funny Friday: The One With The Costumes

Happy Halloween!! Today’s post is all about costumes, mainly funny or awesome costumes. I’ll start with me and my boys posing in our minion costumes – because it’s my blog, and I can. Ha. Now that we have that out of the way, I bring you a collection of costumes I found from around the…

Funny Friday: The One With The Signs

Okay, so this has been a really busy week and I didn’t have adequate time to think of an original Funny Friday post. Ergo, I bring you funny signs! I know these aren’t new. I’ve been around the interwebs long enough to realize this. So my goal here is to present signs that are new to…

Funny Friday: The One With The Googly Eyes

I finally did it. Something I’ve been wanting to do for months. I googly-eyed my kitchen. I know, it’s not a normal life goal. But I never claimed to be normal. Life’s too short and interesting for that. It started in the evening, after the kids went to bed. I wanted them to wake up to…

Funny Friday: The One With All The Irony

Welcome to the latest Funny Friday post. This week, it’s all about irony – situational irony, specifically. That’s when things happen the opposite of how you expect them to. I did a post a while back about why irony is hard to teach (read it here), and one of the points was irony is easier…

Funny Friday: The One With The Statues

I’m trying something new. Seeing as this started as a humor blog, and I’m sure some of you are here from those days, I want to make sure I tap into those humor roots more regularly. So, I’m devoting Fridays to humor and writing the subtitles in the style of Friends episodes: the one with…

What If Everyone Used Their Imagination?

I read a book review the other day, and it’s been irritating the crap out of me. The story that accompanied the review is set during the Napoleonic Wars, except the fighting countries have air forces comprised of talking dragons. I read the book, and I loved it (find it here). The dragons spoke eloquently in the…
