"Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Writing Well"
I don’t see what’s so funny, this is me and Kevin every day.
That’s why our marriage works, don’t you know, because we torment each other.
Also? Snow. *DROOL*
I’m not a big fan of snow, but since we’ve had 100 degrees plus these past few weeks? I could go for a little snow right about now.
You enjoy your long weekend, ya hear?
HAHA!
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Hey man,
I know this spoof is making fun of Windows – I get it. And they’re right, Windows can be terribly frustrating and wonky and Windows users definitely have these issues, but here’s the thing – I’d rather be a free-thinking Windows user than belong to an electronic cult.
Because speaking as a non-Mac user from outside the hoopla that surrounds every Apple product? (I own an iTouch. That’s the extent of my Apple enthusiasm). It’s a little bizarre to see people into their electronics THAT much.
You know?
P.S. No disrespect to Mac users – I’m sure ya’ll are the bees knees, but seriously? The crazy devotion to one control-hungry brand is a little creepy. Just saying.
(HA! My boys EXACTLY! One is motivated, one is NOT).
(That’s how it is in my house, only it’s not insulation, but video/computer games. *sigh*)
(HAHAHAHA! Actually, I think MOST young people nowadays have that attitude).
A perfect depiction of my “comical” life with teenage boys …
(haha! I had this VERY conversation with Jazz the other day. “Jazz. What time is it?” “I don’t know, I can’t see my digital clock.”)
(SO TRUE!!!!)
A perfect depiction of my “comical” life with teenage boys …
Oh my gosh – these last two are me EXACTLY. HA!
Definitely how our boys do their homework. Must get their awesome writing skills from their momma. *ahem*

Happy April’s Fool Day!
I don’t really get into April Fools’ (especially now that the boys are older and usually catch on right away), but I found some funny pranks that I thought I would pass on to you in case you want to pull a fast one on a co-worker or a loved one.
Forgetful
Tape magnets to the bottom of an empty coffee cup, and attach it to the top of your car. Laugh at all the people who frantically try to get your attention as you drive by.
Wild Flowers
Buy some fake but realistic-looking flowers from a craft store and “plant” them in your victim’s garden. They will be shocked to find they have a greener thumb than they thought!
Invisible Ink
Go into the victim’s office and locate every pencil and pen in their desk. Paint the tips with clear nail polish. When they try to write, none of them will work. (After the prank is revealed, the nail polish can be removed by dipping the pens and pencils in polish remover.)
Kidnapped
Take an item from the victim’s office (something they use a lot such as a special coffee cup, stapler, pencil cup, etc.). Take a picture of the item and leave it on the victim’s desk (in the same spot where the item was located), along with a “ransom” note.
Clipped
Make some copies of a paperclip. Then put them into the paper tray of the copier. People will go nuts trying to find the paperclip stuck in the printer.
Filed Away
Take a tape recorder and fast forward a blank tape about half-way. Then record yourself saying “Hey, let me out of here!”, then knock on the tape recorder with your knuckles. Let the tape run a bit more and repeat as many times as you want. Now, rewind the tape, and hide it a file cabinet or other piece of furniture. Right before you know your victim will be in the area by themselves, sneak in a press “PLAY”.
Document Panic
Has your victim been working on an important document on their computer? Carefully hide the document in a safe place, then create a fake document with the same name. Fill the document with gobbledy-gook or a funny story. At the bottom put “April Fool’s!”
Incorrect
If the victim uses Microsoft Word, go into the victim’s computer and change the auto-correct feature so it misspells common words. Just open Word, choose “AutoCorrect Options” from the Tools menu, and have it replace common words like “the” and “and” with wacky words like “eggplant” or “Uranus.” Be creative.
Away From Home
Change the victim’s homepage to something unexpected. Open their browser and choose Tools->Options and enter the URL for a new page.

P.S. I just noticed that, according to Grammar Girl, the correct spelling is:
