Life is full of questions…

Life is unpredictable because we can't see the future. Life is full of questions. Some are simple to answer: What am I going to eat for dinner? Where did I park my car? Others are, well, more challenging.

Is there a time limit on fortune cookie predictions?

Why does the Easter bunny carry eggs? Rabbits don't lay eggs?


Do the minutes on the DVD movie boxes include the previews, credits, and special features, or just the movie itself?


Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why is it called a funny bone, when if you hit it, it's not funny at all?


Do you wake up or open your eyes first?
How come cats butts go up when you pet them?


How come you never see a billboard being put up by the highway?


At what point in man's evolution did he start wiping his butt?


What is Satan's last name?

Do bald people get Dandruff?


Why do we press the start button to turn off the computer?


Why do they call it "getting your dog fixed" if afterwards it doesn't work anymore?


Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

When you're caught "between a rock and a hard place", is the rock not hard?


Why do people say they're head over heels when they're happy? Isn't that the way we normally are?


Do you have any answers?
But please don't think you are going to win something for each answer you get right. Sorry, that's not going to happen.

My Boy Lollipop



Although this song may be the most annoying song (or voice) I have ever heard (You're my sugar dandy???), I think it’s appropriate for Halloween. I don’t celebrate Halloween (Halloween is not a big thing in the Netherlands. It’s a pure commercial event over here) but I have enough sweets and candy in my house to put me in a candy coma. Thank God for self-discipline. Yes, I ate all the chocolate… what of it? Maybe Adam and Eve were seduced by an apple because they didn't have any chocolate lying around. At least that’s what my sister says and I agree with her.

Anyway, Happy Halloween if you celebrate it and if not...Happy weekend !!!
Enjoy !

P.S.
Jodi, if you are reading this: Take good care of yourself, get plenty of rest and feel better soon!

Not the brightest crayons in the box

Some burglars use ski masks others use stockings, but these Iowa burglars decided on something even better - a black permanent marker from Sharpie for disguise!

I’d like to give props to Matthew McNelly and Joey Miller for their resourcefulness and ability to think out of the box. I’d like to, but, I can’t. I will, however, give them props for making me laugh so hard I almost peed myself (BUT I didn't!!!). They must have been smoking something before they went on their 'rampage' last week is all I can think.

Authorities received a tip that two suspicious men that appeared to be in black face were attempting to break into an apartment. Regardless of their diabolically clever disguises police were able to track down the two law breakers a couple of blocks away when they pulled over a car that matched the description of the suspects’ vehicle. Both of their faces had been haphazardly scribbled in with black marker, resulting in what appeared to be a…Batman…scruffy beard face…raccoon… McNelly and Miller were each charged with attempted second-degree burglary and are currently out on bond trying to wash the permanent marker off of their faces.

Permanent marker… now don’t that just take the cake! You just can’t make this stuff up... so were they stoned or just naturally stupid? You can even see where the guy on the left tried to wipe it off… and FAILED! It’ll 'lighten up' – but it’s going to be a while until it’s gone.


Let this be a lesson to all would be criminals or common thieves, be sure to cover all areas and stay within the lines!

Oh no! It's Monday again?

Those few days that I took off to be sick were quite interesting. I had a lot of couch time, and therefore, a lot of TV time. Have you ever noticed that whenever you’re sick and stuck in front of the TV you’ll pretty much watch anything? Well, almost anything. After copious amounts of channel surfing I've come to the conclusion that regular TV programming is pretty boring. But there are some exceptions.
I wasted hours I'll never get back watching:
~
Deadliest Catch:
BBRRRR!! These brave men fish in the most extreme Weather! I’m really not sure why I like the show so much. It amazes how hard the work seems to be, how much money they can earn, while risking their lives and how the Discovery Channel films the show. The paydays can be huge, but the work is backbreaking, the hours are unending, and the injury rate is almost 100%. I'm addicted to it, plain and simple.
Family guy:
Lois Griffin: Together we can do anything: face any foe, overcome any obstacle.

Peter Griffin: Yeah, climb any mountain, rent any video, dial any phone. And not just our phone, Lois, other people's phones. Decent phones, God-fearing phones, phones that everybody else gave up on, but we knew better because we were a team!
Brian Griffin: What the hell are you talking about?
They may be completely insane but the show makes me laugh (most of the time) and that's all I can ask for.

American Dad:
Francine Smith: Anything for me?

Stan Smith [looking through mail]: Just a postcard that says your hair looks like crap. Hey, it's from me.

Yes, I like to watch animated series when I'm sick ;) They really did a great job pushing the offense-o-meters with American Dad. Amusing but totally out there. But I love Roger the alien. There I have said it!

The Graham Norton show:
Graham Norton - you either love him or you hate him. I love him. He’s hysterical. He's just having fun with his guest and his audience. It's just a celebration of the weird and funny things people do. One of my favorite Graham Norton episodes is the one where he talks about MILFS's (I'm sure everyone knows what it means). Click here if you want to see it. Skip the Enrique Iglesias part (boring!!!)




Little People Big World:
I don’t watch reality shows because I don't like drama and I’m a bit scared of the whole reality series phenomenon that threatens to fry your brain and steal your hope for the world's future but I rather watch the Roloff family than Jon & Kate plus Hate (or any other reality series).
Cooking shows:
I could start my own restaurant now ;) Quite frankly, for me it's food porn. It’s pure entertainment because I love to eat and try out new recipes. Lord, I’m turning into Martha Stewart!!! Yes, I'm exaggerating. But I did write a post about my favorite chef once. Click here to read it. My sister calls it ‘the porn post’. Ahum, I have no idea why? It’s just a post about the finer points of ‘dessert’. And there is nothing wrong with a little after-dinner ‘dessert‘, is there?

And since sick TV viewing requires movies that are a bit tasteless and easy to digest. Here’s the movie I saw while the germs tried to eat my brain:

Yes, let’s hear it for the Muscles from Brussels a.k.a Jean-Claude van Damme! Known for his splits, his kicks and his “franglais” expressions. I had a major fame crush on this guy as a teenager. I didn’t care about his ‘acting talents’. Staring at his arms and ass was enough entertainment. Yeah, I lusted after his body, so sue me. Even after all these years, the movie is still BAD (on just about every level ) but highly entertaining ;-)

I'm not sick anymore so everything is back to normal. This means that the television whore within me has left the building *sniff, I miss you* I would like to thank the TV for the nice moments we spend together. I’m really grateful for that.


I’m also grateful for:
- Central heating (brrr, it’s cold!)
- Good food
- My comfy bed
- My 73 followers
- Oxygen
- Pencil sharpeners
- Doorknobs
- Donuts
- Eyeliner
- Laughter
- Bookshelves
- Google
- Chocolate milk
- Little emails that result in big smiles
- Nostalgia
- Cake
- Music
- Stores that sell used books
- M&M’s
- Generosity

I could go on and on but I won’t. Have a nice Monday and a fresh start to your week!

Dinner rolls and some fun against the fence


I’m all about making dinner rolls right now so this blog post is going to be short and sweet. Because let’s be honest, is there much of anything that is better than hot, fresh, homemade dinner rolls, I ask? I think not.
There is nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread in a kitchen. Mmmmmmm….. can you smell it? Nothing seduces the senses better than the smell of fresh bread baking and eating it hot is even better!!

Alrighty then, I got a little carried away. Since I can’t share my buns with you guys, I’ll leave you with a classic joke that I just thought of.

~
An elderly couple, both in their 70's, is enjoying an anniversary dinner in a small tavern when the husband leans over and asks his wife, "Do you remember the first time we had sex together over 50 years ago? We went behind this tavern where you leaned against the fence and I made love to you."
"Yes," she says, "I remember it well."
"Ok," he says, "how about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old times’ sake?"
"Oooooooh! Henry, that sounds like a good idea!" she answers.
A police officer is sitting in the next booth, listening to them and having a chuckle to himself. He thinks, "I've got to see this. Two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble," and he follows them.
They walk haltingly along, leaning on each other for support, aided by canes. Finally, they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence.
The old lady lifts her skirt, takes her panties down and the old man drops his trousers. She turns around and as she hangs onto the fence, the old man moves in.
Suddenly, they erupt into the most furious sex that the watching policeman has ever seen! They are bucking and jumping like 18 year olds. She's yelling, "Ohhh, God," and he's hanging onto her hips for dear life. Finally, they both collapse panting on the ground.
The policeman is amazed! He thinks he has learned something about life that he didn't know. After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggles to their feet and put their clothes back on.The policeman, still watching, thinks, "That was truly amazing! He was going like a jackrabbit. I've got to ask him what his secret is."
As the couple slowly walks by, he says, "That was something else! You must have been having sex for about 40 minutes. How do you manage it? You must have had a fantastic life together. Is there some sort of secret?"
"No, there's no secret," the old man says, "50 years ago that damn fence wasn't electric!"

ps. Ok, ok, I didn’t come up with this joke. I stole it from Jodi, from The World According To J.J. in L.A. Sorry Jodi! You know what? I will send you some dinner rolls :)

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yessssssss!



Well, the video says it all....

I'm 'officially' off the cold now :) I'm still coughing like crazy but I'm done being sick. YeeeHaaaa! That's right, bring on the real food and get all that soup away from me. Holy crap, where does the time go? Did anyone get married/divorced or engaged (or other such events) while I was sick? Please let me know. I will buy you a present or throw a divorce party for you.

~
That's it for now. So THIS IS IT.
Wait, where did I hear this before?
Oh yeah, Michael Jackson......
Um sorry, I don't like his 'new' song. But who cares??? I'm NOT sick anymore!!!!
See you all later, gotta go 'play' now!

ps. 'play' is a metaphor for going to bed. Just wanted to clear that up!

When bananas go bad

I have been holed up in my house for two days now and I’m enjoying every minute of it. Not! This cold better be gone when I come out of the shower or I’ll be forced to say mean things to my reflection in the mirror. I wonder if these knots will ever get out of my hair again?
Anyway, I have decided to speed up the recovery by eating lots of fresh fruit.

Vitamin C, come to mama!
