This is a brand, spanking, new bloghop instigated by two birds (and, yes, I do mean instigated) and I am so excited to be participating! You should hop on over to their blog and see how this all got started, maybe even join in. I mean, c'mon, what's not to like about the whole concept of confessing one's deepest, darkest, fantasies, neuroses, and habits...and everyone having a good laugh about it? So here I go, exhibiting my human frailties and weird habits for your viewing pleasure...
Is it bad that I've had this picture for years and it still cracks me up every time I look at it? By the way, it says "Ed's Doghouse of Leather".
Is it bad that, now I'm older, I only shave my legs once a week and don't really care?
Is it bad that, if I must shave more than once a week, I make sure everyone knows it better be worth my time and effort?
Is it bad that if there is anything sweet and/or crunchy in the house I must eat it or it will call my name in wheedling tones until I either consume it or go mad?
Is it bad that I get so excited at holidays and birthdays, etc... that I just cannot wait for the right day for people to open the gifts I've given them; that I must give them at least one early present?
Is it bad that I've dragooned the other Bletherskites into making the Christmas holiday last three days? Seriously, we each open a gift on Christmas Eve, gifts on Christmas morning, as well as having special 'boxed' gifts (usually humourous) for Boxing Day...the day after Christmas.
Is it bad that having to keep a secret...unless it's something like a surprise party...makes me physically sick to my stomach?
Is it bad that, when I had to use a wheelchair in a store, the other Bletherskites and I used to crack jokes about them pushing the crip around? (Entirely self-directed, let me hasten to add, none of us would ever say...or think...something of that nature to, or about, another.)
Is it bad that seeing someone being rude, cruel, or abusive toward another infuriates me to the point that I have been known to get personally involved to put a stop to it?
Is it bad that when something tickles my funny bone I dissolve into a little heap of cackly, weepy, laughter and have been accused of 'laying eggs'?
Oh, and whilst I'm thinking of it, this picture....
is the barn on the family farm when it was newly built.
Have a grand weekend and keep smiling! Oh, and by the by...it looks like the votes for humour have carried the day, so next week's Fabulous Friday will feature humour.


Hilarious! Especially the leg shaving part... what does the photo say? Ed's Dog and Mouse Leather Belts?! Happy weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteHaha! What a funny post!
ReplyDeleteLeg shavinng is such a torture and in winter I tend to "forget" to do it often! So, yes, it better be worth our time and effort!
Thanks for this post, I enjoyed every bit of it!
I too dislike shaving my legs! No it's not *bad.* "Auntie" sezzzzzz! ,-)
ReplyDeleteAnd sweet/salty things in the house, callllllllllllllllllll to me too! -sigh-
And I too, just love to "hop on my white horse and ride into battle," in defense of someone else. -sigh- And it has gotten me into plenty of trouble, over the years. I do it on the Net, too.
But anyway, since we both do these things... They can not be *bad.* So there! and all kidding aside, I hate the words "good" and "bad." Especially when applied to children. Yishhhh... Good grief! and all that jazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
"Auntie"
oh my goodness, we are so much alike! leg shaving, present giving, secret keeping..yes, yes, yes. i love your boxing day idea and just might steal it from you. thanks so much for participating!
ReplyDeleteOnce a week sounds like way to much effort how about once a month?:)
ReplyDeleteI ate a bag of marshmallow candies yesterday and I did not even like them but there was nothing else in the house My Hero came home and went to have one and I smiled, tilted my head and said "darn kids" we live alone.
I love this laughing thing it is fun.
Take care and you are one of a kind and I like that. Now off to find more sweets. :) B
Great blog - can't really comment on the 'leg shaving'- one less thing for us blokes to worry about but trimming one's goatie is bind enough!
ReplyDeleteYou'd think working part-time as a Greengrocer the tempting summer fruits would be calling me but alas the small organic chocolate bars have a louder voice! Everything in moderation I tell myself.
A three day Christmas holiday sounds great, having 6 'puds' between Mrs M and myself would make life ALOT easier.
Have a great weekend. Mr M. xx
Love the two birds' blog. Thanks for sharing it! :-) Just followed (like I need another blog to read!). Also - none of your things are bad!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteyou made me laugh at several of these! :) at least you can laugh at yourself. :)
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh. It's not bad to laugh at yourself and make others laugh too.
ReplyDelete:) three days of Christmas sounds perfect to me! but my family wouldn't do it. the last few years someone suggested adults only get one gift and only my niece gets gifts from everyone. we do a lottary to see whom is our receiver so everyone buy one gift and gets one gift. money is short. but I love Xmas Eve. I like to dress red and be happy.
ReplyDeleteby the way, in my blog: the bottom left London Eye is my favourite too! good minds think alike ;)
can't wait for your feature of humourous blogs.
wishing you a beautiful Saturday
