MY FUNNY LIFE

My life is never boring and sometimes can be quite funny.
Well, maybe not to me at the time, but when I can laugh at myself I share so you can laugh at me too.

Had such a wonderful time on the trip through Wonderland with 2 of my grandsons. It was a trip of a lifetime. On the playground at the little school down the street there is a school bus made out of chairs and a steering wheel. I decided to hop on and take a ride with them. They told me that we were taking the long tour that would take 3 hours. I thought okay, I have no other thing that is more important than spending time with both them right now. Besides as a bonus who wouldn’t like going through Wonderland. They should have told me to bring my appetite though, because the bus stopped quite often for food and candy. On the first stop after seeing the snorficusses, I enjoyed a hot dog with relish and a tootie frootie ice cream with sprinkles, because I didn't want the frootie tootie (I didn’t want to smell those fruit farts). Then we continued on our way down the road enjoying the sights. It wasn’t a real 3 hours and I was kind of sad about that, but it was wonderful to spend the time with them and get to share in their imaginations.

You know that feeling you get when something just isn't right, but you just can not quite figure out what it is?

Well sad to say that I had one of those days and am here to tell you that paying attention to detail is a good idea. I woke up one morning and began running the moment my feet hit the floor. I was quite busy all day, but just couldn't shake the feeling that something just wasn't right. I continued about my day, but as the day got later, that feeling just kept getting stronger. Had I forgotten to do something important? Did I miss a chore? For the life of me I just could not figure it out. Then about 4 pm I had stopped for a moment and happened to look down at my feet (probably for about the 5th time). Be darned if I didn't have 2 different colored shoes on . Not only that, but they were also on the wrong feet. I am a dork. You may laugh at me now.

Life As A Comedy Episode. Some days are pretty good, but most days my life is a comedy episode. I have had a few tragedies too, so I will take the funny. Besides, it most likely brings a smile to someone's face. Keep it real, keep it fun and just enjoy.
Life is too short to not laugh at me.


I once told my grandson that I killed a fantasy. I know, my grandson was confused also.I was sitting in church one day after the service and my grandson comes and rubs the collar of my coat. "Your coat is so soft, Grammie" he says. I told him "thank you, I like it too". Without missing a beat he asks me "what kind of animal did you have to kill for it?" I answered back, "a fantasy".
I got the most dumbfounded look. You see, my coat was made with fantasy fur, so no real animals were killed. I guess kids don't know about fantasy fur anymore.
I however, can not answer him as to which fantasy had to give up its life so I could be cozy.

You know how there are those days when you should just quit before you start? June 13, 2017 was one of those days for me. My husband called to say there was a bad storm heading my way. I come from a place where they are seldom right about the weather so I wasn't too worried, but I figured I better batten down the hatches as the wind does blow here. Little did I know, but my day was to go south, as they say, real soon. I had a pallet in the yard that I did not want to hurt any critters. I leaned over to pick it up and that is where things began. I knew I was falling. I tried to stop it, but soon realized that was not going to happen. I decided I would try to fall with gracefulness and dignity. That didn't happen either. If someone had been there with a phone they might have a little money right now. Awesome face plant into the pallet it was. At least my nose went between two boards, so it was my forehead that took the brunt of the blow. I think my dignity took a bigger blow. I quickly looked around for any one who saw, whew, no one in sight. The worst part was having to explain to people when they asked "what happen to you?" Dignity took another face plant when I saw the look on their face when I explained. So I donned a bandana on my forehead like an 80's rocker band member and sailed into the weekend

The cerebellum is at the back of the brain, below the cerebrum. It's a lot smaller than the cerebrum. But it's a very important part of the brain. It controls balance, movement, and coordination (how your muscles work together).
THAT EXPLAINS IT! I had to take a muscle relaxer for the first time in my life last night and this morning trying to get out of bed was in no way balanced movement NOR coordinated.

Sometimes I feel a lot like that little white rabbit in Alice's Wonderland. No matter how hard I try, I am always late for an important date, (and they are all important). Some who know me say that I will be late for my own funeral, but I say no.
I won't be late, because someone else will be dressing me. No opportunity to walk by the mirror, sigh, and go through another 20 wardrobe changes.
I won't be late, because I do not have to make coffee; feed the animals; straighten up the kitchen (or any other room that I might happen to wander into); put away the laundry, and while I am at it, fold the clothes in the dryer, put another load in then one in the washer, and put away those clothes that I just folded.
I won't be late, because I do not have to put the dogs out; clean the cat box; shower, hair, and make-up; pour coffee into cups; make breakfast and the other 20 things that come to mind as I am frantically racing around to get out the door just to make it on time.

Here I was the other day thinking I was so "cool" with my steampunk look. Turns out I was just a "fool" with my glasses upside down. DORK. Just more proof that I am usually good for a laugh, even if you are laughing at me. Hope your day was full of smiles
