The Joker

Note to self: People, in general, are NOT in a good/ joking/ jovial mood during this time of year.  'Nuf said!

Well, Grainiacs and one banana!  I stepped on the scale this morning and I'm down a few ounces so I'm heading in the right direction.  6.2 pounds to go to reach my 7 pound goal.  Baby steps, right?

I think I told you I'm a working Strawberry now.  I received my first paycheck.  I started working in between two pay periods so this check was rather tiny.  I'm sure Payroll was thinking "Why bother?"  But it felt good to receive it.  I even opened my own checking account.  I know Hubby is thinking "Why bother?"  I get free checks!  So I ordered the most girly, foofy checks available.  (Wasn't I just talking about "impulsive" yesterday???)  I told Hubby would you like to use my checks.  He's a man of the cloth so he just shook his head "no."  I'm sure there were some choice phrases but since he is a Rev. Hubby, he kept them to himself.  They look something like this one...

He might like to watch HGTV and cooking channels but he draws the line when it comes to paying bills.  And by the way: Please don't write me or call me at this address or phone number.  I am NOT Lisa Smith nor is Hubby's name Michael.  Thank you for your consideration and I know Michael and Lisa will thank you!

The funniest thing happened the other day.  I was working at the computer and I noticed movement in my peripheral vision.  I stopped what I was doing and just watched.  My fur-mily is soooo entertaining.

Kitzilla!  Let sleeping dogs lie!!!

Wait! What's that you see?

Do you see what I see?  Something else is not going to let a sleeping dog lie....especially when he starts rubbing his legs together!

It's a cricket and not a very smart one at that!  Is there a phrase "Dumber than a cricket?"

I'm thinking this joker has a death wish.

Catch me if you can.  Oh, she could and she did!!!  Now who's laughing?

DO YOU SEE WHY I don't get anything done at my house?!  It's really not my fault (she says sheepishly/ jokingly).  No joke; I do have to go unload the dishwasher before work so it's off the blog.

P.S.  The cricket survived sans one leg.  Boy took it outside and stuck it in a plant.  It was the least we could do. Cricket offered so much entertainment to all of us!

P.S.S. My first comment pertained to some sophomoric shenanigans happening at work (I wasn't involved; just watching it all unfold as an innocent bystander. Really!!!).  People! Take a joke.  Yes, it was juvenile but it was all in good fun.  Some people just don't joke about football.  'Nuf said!!!
