Friday Fun

First of all, here's the winner of Cindy Woodsmall's The Sound of Sleigh Bells: Result: 12

Congrats to Katie! Email me your address and I'll send the book your way!

A shout-out and a big thanks to CeeCee of Book Splurge for giving me the One Lovely Blog Award. I love her profile description on her blog: I was born with a book in my hands. That was great for me, but a little hard on my mother. Sorry mom!

It's funny the way a joke will seemingly originate and then all of a sudden it pops up everywhere you turn - in multiple emails, conversations, etc. The latest one this week really did give me a chuckle. If you don't like that it's a Blonde joke, substitute Aggie or your favorite "two bricks short of a load" persona:

Upon conducting an audit of passwords, it was discovered that a blonde had the following password for her computer:

MickeyMinniePlutoHueyDeweyLouieDonaldGoofy
When asked why she had such a lengthy password,
the blonde replied,
"Duh! It has to be at least eight characters!"

I had a doctor's appointment today. It was my third attempt to see this particular doctor in the last two weeks, but the first two were canceled due to the doctor's family emergencies. (His wife had some serious surgery.) But whenever a situation like that happens where it's the third try, it always makes me a tad nervous. Because I never know whether it's going to be. . .

Third time's the charm.
OR
Third strike, you're out.
Just wondering what makes the difference. . . !

I just love old people and down-to-earth, tell-it-like-it-is, dry wit. While I know this is a joke, I can just see some little old lady really saying this:

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked,
"How old was your husband?"
"98," she replied, "Two years older than me."
"So you're 96," the undertaker commented.
She responded, "Hardly worth going home, is it?"

Finally, I saw this on the blog Loop de Loops in La La Land and loved it! That would definitely make trudging up the stairs more inviting!


So tell me, do you generally take the stairs or an escalator/elevator if available? If stairs, is there a maximum # of flights at which you'll ride up instead?!

Have a great Friday!
