Here is a great recipe for fun:
Granted, I’m not the greatest at Clue, but it was fun to hang out.
We laughed a lot.
We munched on barbecue chips (solving murders makes you hungry.)
Friendship is awesome.
Now I’m headed towards bed because it’s after midnight and I desperately want to finish the last 4-5 chapters of my novel.
Office antics crack me up.
My coworker left a note on my apple–the one that’s been sitting on my desk for the past week–and it caused me to belly laugh.
I was simply shocked to see my normally stoic coworker do something so silly. Of course, you’re talking to the girl who:
If I had to be super serious all the time…I’m just not sure that’s sustainable for me.
I guess it’s good that every boss I’ve ever had thinks I’m kinda funny. In fact, many of them looked to me to be the resident funny person.
Humor is the key to job satisfaction.
Forget all that stuff about having a good work ethic and all the right college degrees. None of that matters.
Okay, okay it matters a little bit. Though, having halfway decent people skills and a sense of humor are the true keys to success.
At least, it’s always worked for me…
Maybe I shouldn’t say it’s the law just because it’s working for me. (I’m not one of those annoying bloggers that claim to have all the answers.)
I have an addiction…
The public library.
There. I said it.
Any excuse to go to the library gets me excited.
The librarians probably dread to see my name on the hold shelf because that means I will most definitely call them to see if my materials have arrived.
Before I hit up Red Box, I go to the library.
If I fall in love with the music in a movie, I go to the library.
And now my new habit of being a total fan girl that makes me want to see every movie my favorite actors/actresses have ever been in…
Not to mention all of my leadership stalking (we’ve talked about this before) that causes me to hit up YouTube to check out all of a leader’s public talks and the library to check out all of their books…
At least library materials are free, right? Because I just can’t stay away.
Plus, libraries are just cool places to hang out. Did I mention that most libraries now sell coffee?
You guys think I’m exaggerating about my library addiction, but I go to the library 3-4 days a week.
Here’s my question to you:
Are there any local places you enjoy hanging out?
I was charged today with bringing humor into our office.
My boss told me to make him laugh everyday because he tends to be too serious.
I can handle this task!
(I was already doing this anyway, but it’s good to know I have job security.)
The gears are turning in my head now…
Work just got even better for me!
I don’t know if my boss fully understands how exciting this new challenge is for me.
Sure, there’s plenty of “real” work to be done, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun, too.
And fun we shall have!
It’s a part of my job description now.
I saw Tim Hawkins live! He came to The Assembly Church in Broken Arrow.
By the time it was over, I was having trouble getting a hold of myself.
Tim did a few classic bits:
The man is funny. His comedy is very involved.
His whole body is part of the routine!Not every comedian can pull that off.
I almost didn’t go because you had to buy a ticket. I am so glad that I did because it was worth every penny!
If you ever have a chance to see a comedian live, I encourage you to go.
Yes, you can watch their videos, but seeing the show live is truly a special experience.
Today’s post will be short and sweet.
It’s been a long week and I’m really tired. But, my gratitude far outweighs the negatives.
Here are 5 things I’m thankful for from the past week:
What are some things you’re thankful for?
I’m finding that a habit of thanksgiving is changing my perception of life’s challenges.
Let’s work out our gratitude muscle this week by taking 5 minutes a day to name 3 reasons we’re thankful.
The difference this single practice makes in our lives is huge.
I’m visiting a friend today so my post will be short and funny.
Courage didn’t want to wear pants today.
He kept taking them off and throwing them at people.
I said, “Courage, you need to wear pants.”
This was his response:
He technically was wearing his pants so I can’t complain.
Today, I found myself singing “My Heart Will Go On” because sometimes a girl needs to dream.
Maybe my star crossed lover is waiting on the next sinking cruise liner.
The problem, though, is I never remember the words.
And then enters YouTube! A lyrically confused girl’s best friend.
The music video is a gem.
A floating bride?
A sophisticated recorder player?
A weird bald guy staring at the moon?
I just can’t take this seriously….
My sides are still hurting…..
Plus, you get to sing along with Celine–and wonder why there are two random men staring at the moon.
I watched the music video with three thoughts in mind:
The audience was enthralled while I was dying from laughter.
My hairbrush went back into the drawer (we’ll sing another day, my friend) because you can’t sing while hyperventilating.
If you need a good laugh, please watch this video.
It doesn’t take much to tickle my funny bone.
Most every day is filled with sprinkles of humor that make me smile.
Today was no exception.
The thrift store had several corny items…and I couldn’t help but snap a few pictures.
My friend, Mr Corn Face, would’ve been mine IF he hadn’t cost $20.
(He’s one special guy, I’m sure, but I couldn’t bring myself to spend that much money.)
I was reminded today that random, funny moments make for the best memories.
Take some time over the weekend to look for the silly side of things.
And if you bump into my friend Mr. Corn Face say hello for me.
I have always wanted to be a comedian.
A comedian’s job is to look around, make observations, and then report them back in a funny way. Their brains are wired to see things from multiple perspectives.
And their family knows this all too well. If I was a comedian’s kid, I would sell the copyrights to the funny moments of my life to my comedian parent and ask for the royalties as my allowance.
Because every aspect of life has a good, bad, ugly, and funny side. Then you branch off into finding the good, bad, ugly, and funny side of each side I mentioned previously.
(This is the part where I throw in the total number of combinations. But I’m not that great at statistical probability.)
My only problem with comedy today is the overwhelming use of sexual innuendos and expletives.
The good use of a cuss word is a lot like drinking Coke. You can drink one every once in a while, but you know a) it’s not good for you and b) it can’t be rationalized to your water loving, health nut friends.
Which leads me to my next point: Why are most “clean” comedians so boring?
Most of their sketches are very cliché, which is why humor enthusiasts normally do not like them. (Notice I said “most” because there are some clean, funny comedians out there.)
And I think this is why most humor enthusiasts, especially Christians, struggle to find the proverbial balance.
Yeah, this guy is really funny, but cusses like a sailor. This gal is a Christian comedian, but she hasn’t updated her jokes since the ’80s.
I bring this up because we all need a good dose of humor in our life.
We all want to laugh and comedians make us laugh.
There’s nothing wrong with that either!
Just be careful as you listen.
