*Speaking of really bad jokes, I'm so good at coming up with them. My wacky 6-year-old niece Phebe is here in Vermont for the weekend (WHOOP WHOOP for sure) and my brother told me that when asked why she's so goofy, she responds by explaining that "her 2 aunts are goofy." I am so proud of her:) Spreading the charm. So anyway, one of our favorite things to do this trip is make up and tell jokes. Let's just say I'm pretty darn good at them. Just a little play on words. Here, I'll teach you.
1. Think of something random in life. Let's say...pepperoni.
2. Good. NOW, you have to figure out what other word rhymes with it, maybe PART of the word is in it, whatever. I've decided that "only" sounds like the last part of that word.
3. Think of a silly question, joke-style, having to do with both of those things.
4. What did the lonely eater say about his pizza? "Hands off, this pizza is pepperONLY mine!"
Oh, and you can share that with your friends if you'd like. ....Hm....I should probably write a book.
*So I've shared my 75-year-old tendencies in here before. Let me share another one. So this weekend, and you know this if you're on Facebook a good amount, both of my nieces AND my nephew are in Vermont. This is the first time this has happened since Rubix Cube's birth. And my oh my there's a lot of cute involved. So it's my mom and dad, otherwise known as Nema and Grampa, then my brother and sister-in-law, their 2 kids, my sister and brother-in-law, their daughter, and me. Oh and Satchmo. Can't forget him. So I'm sitting back, alongside my parents, the grandparents, thinking....oh my kids have grown up and have their own families. There's so much greatness and chaos going on. Oh I'm so happy. You know how the grandparents automatically have that proud, big family feeling? Well I definitely am thinking the same thing. I think that when I have my own family maybe I won't be on the sidelines with my parents thinking that; I'll be busy with my own kids, being on their my-kids-have-grown-up-and-have-their-own-families radar.
*And that brings me to my next thing, WHY should I be so in-a-rush for this whole having a family of my own business? Because everyone else is doing it? Yes. "Well if everyone else decided to jump off....." Yes, yes I would.
*Yesterday in the church building (we were there for Ruby's official baptism and entry into the kingdom of God WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP), lil' Buckley points to the stained-glass window and says, "Momma that's so bootiful." Oh Buckley. No one is cuter.
*So yeah, I'm Rubester's godmother. And I'm supposed to be a good model for her and teach her to love and follow Jesus. Ha. Don't need to tell me that twice. Although....does this mean I have to stop partying hardy every night? Because you know me. I can be real rebellious.
*I can stand next to Ruby's crib and watch her sleep for minutes and minutes. Oh wait, I just did. She's a real-life cabbage patch kid. With a million times more awesomeness in 'er.
*I participated in donut-on-a-string on Friday at Landmark's halloween party. And I'm just saying, I'm Pretty. Darn. Good.
*Saturday morning during class we could get 2 points added to our final grade if we came in dressed up. I was a slacker and didn't do anything, although I was covered in navy blue so I was planning on saying that I was the color navy blue. Fortunately, a classmate came through with an extra Santa costume that was just laying around. I am a pretty awesome Santa. AND my final just went up 2 points. It's a win-win for everyone.
*Today is my last day in Vermont with my family. Shouldn't there be a law against having to go to work when your whole family, who is not all together normally, is together under one roof? This is going to continue for another day without me and I have to go to work. So blah.
*I will leave you with another made-up joke. What did the ant say to his friend ant when they were getting some food? No, you have the first pick, Nick. Get it? Get it? Tell your friends.
