Barbara's having...

So, if you didn't catch it in my countdown post, I let it slip that my little sister is having a baby girl!!



I am going to have two nieces and I couldn't be more excited!

On a side note, I have never felt more out of place then last weekend at my older sister's baby shower. I was the only one there who is not (i) married and (ii) pregnant/has babies. I'm not saying it was a bad thing, but very, very strange.

#68: Go to a comedy club

Um, so, I totally have a list of 108 things I want to do in 2008, and while I have done like 20 or more of them I have only crossed two off my list. Why? Because I have actually mostly forgotten what is on the list, and I don't realize that I have done many of them. So, hopefully (ha!) I will manage to update that list a lot in the coming days because, well, frankly, this blog is my online scrapbook and I am just totally botching the job up.

And today I had an epiphany. I was going to just post about the fabulous time I had Sunday night going to The Funny Farm comedy club in Roswell, but now, since I actually looked at my 108 in 2008 list (imagine that), I can cross #68 off my list!

So, back to the comedy club.

Katey invited me to go to the club with her boyfriend Travis and their friend Mark to see Steve Trevino at The Funny Farm and enjoy some El Pollo Loco before the show. What can I say. We were feeling the latino vibe.

So, anyways, the company was wonderful, the food was great and the show was hilarious. And since we were seated right up front (thanks, Mark!), we were able to interact with the comedians. (For those of you who have not been to a comedy club before, there are typically two or three openers for the headliner, hence, comedians). And Travis became very good friends with Nick Valentine. Because they have a very important factor in common. They are both 5'5". Seriously.


Aren't they just precious.

And Nick. Well, he is 25. I couldn't believe it. I thought he was maybe (MAYBE) 21. And I received double confirmation of this when he heard me gasp, no, after he told us his age. Yeah, oops.

But age is just determined by how you act, right?



Right?

9 things I hate about everyone

I love my dad. For many, many reasons.


My sweet daddy.

One small reason is his sense of humor, and how one small email from him can make my busy-as-hell day become much more manageable. Emails that contain valuable information like this:

9 Things I Hate About Everyone

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time. I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!

5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?"... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

8. When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

Hope that gave everyone a huge end-of-the-week chuckle. Needless to say, I laughed my bum off. Happy Friday!

An oldie, but a goodie

So, ages ago I had a different blog - and not Brits and Grits - that is now defunct. OK, it was only like four years ago but that feels like forever. And I went and looked at it for the first time in many moons, and found a photo on it that made me giggle. A lot.

So, for the two readers from that era, the following photo will come as no surprise. And I'm posting it because it is Wednesday, the ever-wonderful Hump Day. And just because it's totally one of my favorites.



Happy Hump Day, y'all!
