#MM We Were All Young Once

Here's the perfect summer song as a young Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake team up for a funny song sketch at Camp Winnepesawkee. 

Although I must say, when I saw Justin circa 1983 at the Tennessee Teachers' Conference, he was a much cuter (and less nerdy) little boy than the one he's playing in the above sketch. But judge for yourself as you watch young Justin and Ryan Gosling sing as Mousketeers.

#AtoZ : Y is for You

Thank you to all the wonderful people who have been regular visitors to my blog. You make it happen!
Without you, I'd be another frustrated comedian wanna be with no audience. Yet, you visit my blog and tell me I'm funny. That makes my day.

On another Y note, we visited an aunt who is 91 years young. She told me I am pretty. Her daughter told us, she's been speaking a lot of nonsense . . . although not in that order. Since, I'm beautiful, I took a couple selfies just for you. I think they may be suitable for framing beside your Farrah Fawcett poster.

A kiss for you!

Oh, and please, don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Actually, at the risk of sounding tacky, I may be prettier than Farrah, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn, too. But we can't be sure until someone digs up their graves and checks out how they look. I just might have them beat these days.

#AtoZ : "O" Oh, no! What Happened?

Psych! 

Did I get you?

#WW #AtoZ : Nice Date

Remember prom night in high school? 
You wore your best to a high class restaurant. 
Then, you texted about it throughout dinner!

#AtoZ : Matzah

It's time again to give up real food for flat crackers that give one digestive problems. We can purchase all kinds of derivatives for matzah, such as matzah fartful, too. Oh, yeah, don't forget the Gas-Ex with the Passover supplies. And remember, Moses's line, "Let my people go," takes on a whole new meaning.

It's going to be a great week!

#AtoZ : Killer Cookies

I had a craving for cookies. Our cupboards were bare, and I don't eat sweets, anyway. But, to get the satisfaction, I filled a soup mug with pancake mix, an egg, baking powder - spilled, too much vanilla (oops), Splenda, and I added a few decadent chocolate chips. I didn't measure anything, and the batter was too

salty, but with the made up concoction in the oven for eight minutes, we shall see.

I Yi Yi! These taste horrible! I kid you not, even the cookie monster wouldn't want them. Do you think it's the fact that I spilled the vanilla or put too much baking soda in them? Of course, burning these suckers didn't help, either. 

Next time, I'll follow a recipe because even my dog cookies taste better than these. Today, I tossed my cookies!

#AtoZ : I am Not Spoilt!

This morning, my middle child posted a Facebook Buzz Feed Article called,  Were You A Spoilt Child? Readers are asked to tick off everything they owned from Slip 'N Slides to a Darts Board. At the end of the test, the post will tell you whether or not you were spoiled.

The following conversation ensued: 

Memories of the Clinton White House

A German friend of my daughters decided he wanted an internship in Australia. What he should have done is brushed up on his English before walking into the business establishment;  for he was met with strange looks when he repeatedly told everyone he was looking for intercourse.

Disclosure: My daughter recently sent me a text saying, "That's not exactly how the story goes." However, this is the original story that made me laugh, so I'm sticking to it!

#MM: Rapper's Delight

This is good. LOL!

I've always loved this rap song, but it's 

even better when done by Brian Williams!

WW: Look What Happened!

 

Doubts

When thinking of what to write, I checked out Theme Thursday and saw the topic, "Doubts." Not knowing what to write, I stared at the word and came up with a definition for it. See if you switch the /U/ and /B/ in DOUBTS, you come up with the words DO BUTS. It's the perfect definition of the word. I'd do it, but . . .  See when you want to do something but the "but" gets in the way, it makes you doubt what you want to do. And if you continually doubt things, you have a lot of buts.

If you are laughing at the word "buts," you would fit with my fourth graders because they continually giggle whenever that conjunction pops up. Why is that?

Wordless Wednesday: Dogs in Snow

Since we hardly ever get snow in Memphis,

 I figured I'd improvise.

The Blogging Lounge: Who Am I?

The new Blogging Lounge has asked us to answer the question "Who am I?". I don't want to bore followers, so here's a short tidbit.


In my youth, I looked like this: 

But now, I look like this:

Not really.

Let's try again. When super young, everyone told me I looked exactly like Shirley Temple. I had the curly bob and peppy spirit, too. I hated hearing that I resembled anyone but me; and she was actually cute, so imagine how I feel now.


As the years went on, a friend swore I was a dead ringer for Flashdance star Jennifer Beels. I liked that comparison. Of course my brother-in-law had to pop my bubble by telling me she's much prettier than me. Since he started dating my sister when I was only thirteen, he's always been more like an annoying, big brother. You should be lucky enough to have one.

Now, I constantly hear how I look like Bette Midler. No offense to this talented actress, but I don't think she's pretty, and would like to go back to looking like Jennifer, thank you very much; especially when a little girl jumps up and down in a restaurant while yelling and pointing, "You're the witch! You're the witch!"

I said, "I'll get you my pretty and your little dog, too!" Then cackled. 

That shut her up.

Of course, who I look like is pointless, because who I am has nothing to do with my looks. Plus, if you've followed my blog for any length of time and still don't know me, I guess you never will. I'm not one to stain the internet with stories about my abusive childhood, miserable marriage, or rat infested home. I can't do that because actually, it all was and is pretty good. That's why my life story would put you to sleep. So, instead of writing about my dull life, I invent book characters and abuse them. :)

Wordless Wednesday: How to Take Perfect Photos

To capture the perfect picture
 pretend to bite into an apple.

This perfect picture is no surprise since photography talent runs in the family.

Remember the I Am A Great Photographer post?

#GBE2: Happy Endings

Beth from GBE2 gave us the weekly blog topic of "Happy Endings," so I was thinking about how I could write about a happy end. I've always heard about the happiest of end names around: Gladys, which means "Happy Butt?"

Then my daughter talked about someone having a "bubble butt" that popped. How could a bubble butt pop? Is that one of those silicon butt jobs that leaks with age? I don't know about bubble butts, but I have seen a "booty do." That's when someone's stomach sticks out more than their booty do.

Anyway, my kids said I can't write about "Happy Endings" because it's inappropriate, dirty, and gross. 

"What's wrong with the theme Happy Endings?" I asked. 

Since I couldn't get an answer, I looked it up in Urban Dictionary. They were right. 

BETH, HOW COULD YOU?
