Make Me Laugh Monday

It’s Make Me Laugh Monday! These thing made me laugh. I hope they make YOU laugh… because My blog has nothing to do with Me… it is ALL ABOUT YOU :)

OK. I have something for the boys and the girls. I will take care of the fellas first, since they struggle with paying attention very long at all. This is why men maybe shouldn’t own action figures:

Hilarious. What’s even funnier - I was jealous that I didn’t come up with this first. Yep. Forget the dead-forest-creature… this is stinkin’ hilarious. I want to be the one to come up with that stuff. I’m sorry. I am not completely right in the head. I know this….

My friend Lisa actually posted about this picture the other day. I hate it when she beats me to the good stuff… I prolly had it before you, I was just waiting for Make Me Laugh Monday. Nah.

Ok, now, for the ladies. It’s an audio clip from NPR. I came across this hilarious clip when I visited Crazy For Trying this morning. It’s about finding alternate sources of power… You’ve heard of solar power. But have any of you heard of Mammary power???

Bored?

Contrary to popular belief, I seldom find that I get to explore the feeling/condition/sensation of “feeling bored”. In fact, of all the feelings I experience as a woman who has had her saliva tested and is certifiably hormonally imbalanced… the condition of “boredom” is prolly the one condition I suffer from the least not at all. But I have found that you don’t have to be bored to spend lots and lots of time on mindless entertainment and visual stimulation. Jen, Lisa… shutup. I believe The Professionals have labeled it “denial”.

I visited Does This Blog make Us Look Fat?, and found a fun, new time waster obsession! Wordle.net. Ya go there. Then ya plug in your URL or type in a bunch of text. Then it throws the words together. Then you can play with fonts and colors and…

Ooooh….shiny….

Oh, sorry. I just got distracted by another Wordle… I think YOU should make a Wordle. Wow… look at all the pretty colors… Look, I just did another. The one above was created from plugging in my URL. For the one below I copied the text from one of my posts about my son:

Help me name my awesome road bike!

It is with joy in my heart and more debt on the plastic that I announce to the world - I got a road bike!!!

My other bike is a mountain bike/cruiser… I added road tires to help increase the speed just a touch. My Cruiser has taken me through 5 sprint-distance triathlons - since I got bit by the tri bug 7 years ago. My big ‘ol cruiser holds a special place in my heart… *kiss, kiss*

However, it is time to move on. To slim down. To get legit. I am planning on biking further, and to haul my cruiser 24+ miles at a time - is just… medieval! I am way too “retro” for “medieval”! It took a little financial creativity, but I worked it out…

Here is my new carbon-vision of all loveliness:

Isn’t she just lovely??? I snuggle her frame, sing her a lullaby, kiss her gear shifters, and air up her adorable skinny little tires before I tucked her into bed at night. *SWOON*

I rode her 20 miles on Saturday and 12 miles this morning. I cut 7.5 minutes of my 12 mile route - all because of this new beauty in my life. I Luh. Her. So. Mauch.

But I would like some input. I have a few names I’ve been tumbling about, but I said to myself, I said, “Jenny, I bet your hot online friends would love to have a say in naming the new love of your life.” Then I said back to myself, “Yeah, Jenny! You’re right! As. Always.”

So here I am - presenting a few options. I was going to try out a poll program from Vizu, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Instead of getting all-fancy, let’s just go “old school” - comments! 

Here are your choices in alphabetical order:

  • Buffy the Asphalt Slayer
  • Butter (because everything is better with butter!)
  • Mz. Thang
  • Speedy Speederson
  • _____?????_____ (if there’s something cooler and edgier - I am open!!!)
:)

June 2008 Search Keyphrase Wrap-Up

Well folks. It’s that time of the month again… Out of 345 search keyphrases, here are the most interesting 42ish. I was only going to list, like… 10. But I didn’t. I listed 42ish. I know. I’m crazy. So here they are! The select 42 search keyphrases that brought inquiring minds to my little home in cyberspace… (note: I left out the nasty stuff, cuzza I’m not a huge fan of “nasty” and I don’t want them coming around here again…):

big cupcakes - I am a huge cupcake fan. The bigger the cupcake the better.
jen in braces - True dat.
peanut butter donuts (doughnuts) - Glory be. Friends who come visit (hint, hint), we always treat them to this local phenom…
somtn - a.k.a. “something”
nose ring toenails - Really? Did you really type that?

An INCREDIBLE new blog!

Uh! Mah! Gah! My sister-in-law started a blog!

*** breathing in paper bag ***

She is so friggin’ cool-tastic! I mean, if we weren’t SISTER-in-laws, it’d be like we were sisters or somethin’. I mean, it’s almost freakish how similar we are. Freakish. 

Like, I named my son Joel, then 3 years later she named her son Cole. It’s crazy how we have the same taste like that. I mean - you should hear it when our families get together. I call “Joel!!!!!” and Cole comes running. Someone will call “COLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” and instead Joel tears into the room. Our family is so much fun, and most of it is because of Kerry.

At least that’s what SHE thinks. I know that if it wasn’t for me, life for all of “them” would play out in shades of brown. But shhhhh, don’t tell her I said that. I like to let her think it’s all about her, when it really is all about me - JENNYonthespot. Shhhhh, it’s our little secret…

Anywho… Kerry has started a new blog. And, I must admit - it really is genius. Pure genius. From the look… to every letter of it’s content. Genius. Sh to the izzle. I’ll give her that. I will give her that…

Oh, yeah - click here to check her out :)

More about my weekend in The Big Apple

The view from our room - if you stand on the balcony and look left… Times Square-ish!

When we were there, we really only ate 2 meals each day…. brunch and dinner. It was such a treat to sleep in and not have to make breakfast or fill sippy cups or anything! Look at those happy, well-rested faces!

  

I had an omelette and a very satisfying mocha. Prolly one of the best I’ve had the pleasure to drink. I don’t know if it was the coffee, the chocolate or the fact that we got a table right on the street… I felt so “city”.

06.27.08 - (Guest) Fridge Friday

I am skimming the edge of the day here. It’s 11:21 in the p.m. as I begin this post. But I MUST get this up! For,  Jenny 867-5309 has taken some pictures of her fridge and has graciously offered to share them with you… with me… with US!!!

Oooh - shiny!

JenGi says, “A little too clean, ay?  Just don’t look at the sides.”

Before I post any further, let me fess-up. JenGi… Where do you live? Somewhere South, yes? I think the synapses in my brain have quit firing. I’d feel ashamed if I wasn’t so derned tired!

Postalaya

In other words (of which I have many) - a post of many things…

• I have loaded uploaded cross-loaded down-loaded over-loaded transferred successfully put a little video on YouTube. My first. It’s not exciting. I hate the sound of my voice, but this is my first debut as a voice, a videographer and a producer. It’s of the downpour we experienced while in NYC.

Living near Seattle, I am familiar with rain, but we seldom get THIS kind of rain. The kind of rain where most of the people on the street seek shelter and wait it out. We don’t do that here…

A contest!

OK, readers and writers of the maternal persuasion. You are literate (I assume since you not only read but also write). You are woman. You are strong. And you are broken… because those little people we “fondly” call “our children”… anyway. Ladies, MommaSaid.net has a the perfect contest for you and your drive to be famous and fabulous and win a $250 spa basket. I know.

Do you have a story to tell? Actually - do you have a Mom’s True Confession? That is what the folks at MommaSaid are looking for… It’s called the TrueMom Confessays™ Contest. You can get ALL the details here. But you need to get a move on - submissions for the contest ends June 22nd…

I am planning to submit something. I am not exactly sure what… I am going to troll my archives - or wait a day or two until my kids give me new material to work with. I’m thinking I may want to try a video - ooh, and wear make-up… and… and… I better win. Game. On.
