Friday - Time for Fun!

My friend over at Piles of Smiles has been doing Friday Funnies for some time and I finally decided to join in. If you want some help starting your weekend right - check out Friday Funnies. Here's my smiles:

Still Crazy After All These Years

Hillary is hosting a “crazy” blog carnival. (That’s the theme.) If there was ever a blog carnival that had my name on it – this is it. Here’s just a few pieces of evidence:

My sister and I can still sing every single word of the Joni Mitchell Song “ Twisted” without accompaniment and perfectly together. We love it. Oh mercy- some of you probably don't know this title as it was popular in the 70's. I was barely born then. ; ) Never mind that the title of this post is an Eagle’s song from the same era. Era- that word sounds old - but of course, I'm not. Call me delusional, but don't call me old.

I'll dance as if no one is watching, even if they are. My youngest child has been known to scold me and say “don’t EVER do that again”. Party pooper.

I call it “The Drama Gene”, which dictates that I’m not easily embarrassed. This doesn’t bode well for those shy people in my company. I love to laugh and do so too loudly, I’m pretty sure.

My mind can be like a Lazy Susan. It's full of good stuff. If I can't reach it at the moment, it will come back around.

One of my favorite cards, given to me by Uncommon Blonde several years ago, has the photo below with the inscription: Happy Mother’s Day to my very glamorous, sometimes goofy, always glorious Mom. I love it.
For lots of versions of crazy, visit Hillary’s place… you’ll meet some of my friends over there. My mama always said “you’re known by the company you keep” and “birds of a feather flock together.”

By the way, did you know that Joie de vivre is a lovely translation for “she’s a little crazy”?

Peace Be Steel

I have a daughter (Cupcake) and a sister who do stand-up comedy.

Oh, I don't mean in a club or anything like that, they are simply hilarious. And I must say, I'm an ideal audience since I laugh in all the right places. However, I may get a little loud sometimes. In fact, this is a given. People always want to be at our table to see what in the world is going on.

This YouTube video makes me laugh really hard. I wanted to post it last week when I saw it but it's not embeddable so I didn't. Today, ADHD was looking for a "Feel Good" guest for her scheduled Tuesday post and I decided to share a special guest to make her laugh. So this one's for you, my friend. I've never seen Madea before this.

Sunshine over Lugubriousness

Who among us doesn't love words? I have a collection of words that I think are cool and want to use more often. Lugubrious seemed appropriate for a Monday when I often attempt to counteract sluggishness with humor.

Lugubrious (adj) [lu-'gu-bri-ês] Mournful, gloomy, depressive, doleful.

Of course, you know my recipe for just about anything includes laughter. I've seen this "man message" before, but it still made me laugh when I came across this recently.

If you're dragging, it's time for a walk on sunshine. This is probably my favorite 80's tune:

Laughter is an Instant Vacation

Mondays often seem like a good day to discuss stress-relief since mine are always busy. Last week I promised I would try to find some new hilarity for this week. This very short clip titled "Are Women Born Like this?" found at Richard's creations, fills the bill nicely. Happy Monday!

"I Love Jesus But I Drink A Little"

Just to thin the blood, ya know. I got your attention with this didn't I?? I really didn't plan to post today, but I just got such a good laugh from watching this video, I had to share. Here's to Gladys....

Who Needs Pockets?

I figured you're busy making lists and thinking hard about those lists. Here's your daily dose of laughter so you can lighten up. 100% silliness:

Wipe-Out!

It is rare for me to watch TV- much less want to talk about what I saw. But this new show, "Wipe-Out" had Builderman and Fireman itching to be on it while I laughed my head off. This clip is representative of how I would perform on this show. (My hardest laughs were about the the Big Balls.) Check it out:
