I am my biggest fan

I was trying to follow my sister's blog and ended up following my own instead...I am so popular.

Who, What, When, Where...Huh?

Why does being pregnant make it okay for complete strangers to walk up to you in the mall, at the grocery store, in line at the post office, in the drive through, put thier hand on your stomach and say, "Ohhhh, how cute!"

Why did it take longer for me to put pictures in my daughter's baby book than for my daughter to go from conception to eating solid foods?

Why are children the only people who can open child proof caps...and doors with those stinkin' door knob covers?

Why do they teach English rules when they don't apply on the first word reading list? Let's sound out have and once, shall we?

When the doctor tells you to de-stress your life and then charges you $800 - isn't that counter productive?

Who still loves Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, She-Ra, and He-man? (Besides me)

Why are they bringing back 80's fashion when it wasn't that tubular in the first place?

When did nine year olds start coming with their own cell phones?

Where are my glasses, cell phone, keys, and socks when I need them?

Hey, how can I get in on this action?

Picture Day

When I was a kid I never understood why everyone got dressed up for picture day. Didn't they want pictures of the way we really looked? I still don't get it...but I curled my daughter's hair for it...

Warning: if you can read this: You are on my blog

Ok, so I decided that I have to try a slightly different tack with this blog. Only writing when something strikes me as "blog worthy" funny, is obviously not working out very well. So, I am going to keep the name, "Of Life and Laughs" and keep writing when life is seriously funny. However, in an attempt to write more than once every six months, I will be branching out a little in subject matter.
Ah ha. You have been warned.

Wait...which side is the steering wheel on?

DMV handbook information:

*Don't drive on the sidewalk
*Green means go
*Cars need gas

Written driver's test questions (you know, the one you take after you study the handbook)

*How far, to the tenth of an inch, does your face need to be from an airbag to be safest?
*How many roads in America have a speed limit of 35?
*What year did Henry Ford get married?

Another being honest moment

My daughter informed me the other day that I don't remember things very well. Being on the defensive, I replied, "I remember all those stories from when you were a baby." To which my daughter gave the all too quick reply, "Well, you were younger then."

Warning: May Cause Vicious Cycle

A few days ago I had a pretty good (pretty bad?) virus. The doctor told me all he could do was give me a prescription for the dizziness I was experiencing. Better than nothing, right. Wrong. Number one side effect for my dizziness medicine? "May cause dizziness." Well, that's going into the medicine cabinet right next to the stomach aide that may cause diarrhea.
