Funny Things. And 1 not so funny thing.

I like Funny Things.

Especially when I am at work. Because work is not fun. Or Funny.

But recently I have been encountered with many funny things.

Exhibit A-

Charlie Sheen.

That would be Mr. Sheen and his "Goddesses."

It seems like every morning I get to wake up and hear rants from this man- the man whose long time publiscist quit-which he obviously needs- the man who I swear is on another drug besides just "Charlie Sheen" and "Tigers Blood." What really got me laughing though (outloud, at work), was this article. Some of my favorite quotes are below.

"Walters asked Sheen if he was concerned that he could meet a fate similar to that of Michael Jackson, to which the actor said he’s already survived a near miss and has come out “golden.”

As for Sheen's reported hopes to buy a house and move in a bunch of porn stars, he said, "It was a temporary plan and it fell apart."

I am saddened his plan to fill a house with porn stars fell apart....

But Charlie, put your veneers back in, and go back to being a closet drunk, or cocaine addict and get to work!. I liked it better when you looked normal and I didn't have to hear your crazy talk.

The only good thing I can say is at least you have a little sane advice for your kids, all 5 of them:

"Sheen also doesn’t think he is a bad role model for his five children, but thinks that it would be a good idea if they stayed away from cocaine."

Good parenting, Charlie.

Exhibit B-

Enid Shore Crud Team.

While I was very excited to play with this wonderful group of girls, I must say, it was funny.

And not funny because we went in there and beat everyone- and laughed at their misery and loss.

But Funny because:

1. We were the only team of Student Spouses. Meaning every other of the 11 teams were comprised of seasoned crud players. (AKA- Captains, Majors, and Colonels Wives and above.) We are all 2lt and 1lt wives. We were but babies.

2. We got beat immediately, and had Colonels yelling mean things at us like: "When does the skunk rule come in to play."

3. We were wearing Love Enid shirts. Which, by any other standard would have been totally cool- and legit. But that night, every team of the "seasoned women" had official "team jerseys" that put us to some serious shame.

4. The room was full of Air Force men who fly planes. Probably close to 100 of them watching us get our butts kicked. I believe my sweet,drunk husband's words were: "Wow. That was a little emberassing."

The only thing we have on them is that we are younger, and hotter. For Real.

But, we live and learn, and as Susan said, soon enough, 5 or 10 years down the road, we will be the "seasoned players" kicking those Lt.'s Wives Butts.

Exhibit C-

This, actually Not So Funny. But kind of funny- in rhetrospect.



The Pampered Chef Mandolin.

Ronald Barr.

Susan and I were visiting Amberly to place a pampered chef order last night- and Ron was starting on dinner. I believe he was making pepperjack chicken.

This recipe apparently involves onions. And what else would one slice onions with, except a Pampered Chef Mandolin?

With Amberly being the Pampered Chef Consultant, I almost frown on her skills in safety with PC product. Almost.

Anywho....

Ron decides to use the Mandolin to slice the onion, without the protective guard, may I add, and he was just saying something about being impressed with that thing and....

SLICE!

Goes. The. Tip. Of. His. Finger.

I was standing right next to him, and I actually saw the hunk of finger he had just sliced off on the cutting board.

Amberly got ill and threw up- Ron's finger bled for a good 3 hours, and Susan and I stepped in, and completed making dinner, sans the onions, of course. :)

The good news in this?

I didn't get sick or anything by the sight of chopped off finger - Which means I should be good to stomach most things as a nurse! :)

Exhibit D-

Blake Barr. Son of Ronald and Amberly Barr.
(This was one of their Christmas Pictures, by the way....)

His birthday was this weekend, and we had such a great time celebrating with him and his family and friends. He started planning about a month ago, wanting a Dog Party. Which if you know me, I was partial to. :)

He changed his mind several times, finally deciding on having a "Sugar Party."
Amberly basically fed all of the children sugar for the entire 2 hour birthday party, and sent them on their way with their parents on a very strong sugar high.

Susan and I also decided it would be fun to make the Candyland Cake he wanted.

And we had lots of fun! Fun until 3am making this....

I already warned Susan that when I have kids of my own, Susan would HAVE to come and help with the party festivities wherever we are. :) Matt can come too, if he isn't too busy flying airplanes or something.....

So those are just a few of the many things that have made me laugh lately.

Have a great week- and don't take too much of that Charlie Sheen.....It could be dangerous.
