Whimsical Wednesday

Today I'm in a whimsical mood so that I thought I'd share some of the funny gear for photographers that I've seen around the web...

Awesome shirt - in my favourite colour, orange:


Bracelets:


Another fun t-shirt:

And another favourite:

Probably wouldn't wear this one on field trip...:


Love the graphic nature of this one:


Look at this adorable USB drive!!  Love it...:


Perfect for tea... and Baileys!


Another T-shirt - I say the alternative of this all the time!

Another favourite - the travel mug!


And of course, this for my mini-me:

Giving Thanks

via ThxThxThx
I came across this blog in my random surfing one day and loved the tongue-in-cheek approach Leah uses to document her random day occurences.

And for the record, I think that Jimmy Fallon TOTALLY copied her idea!!

At any rate, over the last few weeks, my nails seems to be cooperating (touch wood!) and are all relatively the same length, give or take.  This NEVER happens - they usually all get really long and then BAM!  Two will break, right to the quick!

But as Leah writes above, it's been years since I've worn polish on my nails (always have my toes done though!) and I feel so much more feminine with it on - even if it is a nice vampy colour! :)

'Til we meet again, polish...

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes...

"Fate – everything happens for a reason. And when fate happens, look for the good in it, as it is there."  ~ Author Unknown

Today was my hubby's last day of work after nearly 10 years with the same company (although they switched names AND owners several times, but that's irrelevant).

While the news is unexpected, we are cautiously optimistic that this will either be temporary as indicated, or that this is a first step towards a larger picture for us. 

Mixed feelings abound today, so I'm not going to say much.  It's not really my place.  I know that my husband is an incredible employee, with a work ethic that is not found much anymore.  I know that he is smart, loyal and reliable and that we will bounce back from this, ten times higher.

I love you, sweetie - I'm right beside you, holding your hand every step of the way.

Ironically, one of my co-workers sent me this email today and I thought it was hilarious - and may act as a refresher course for those who need it!  I've made it PG, because my son loves to peruse my blog! :)

The Six Lesson Management Course

Lesson 1:


A man is getting into the shower, just as his wife is finishing with hers, when the doorbell rings.  The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.  When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour.

Before she can say a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel..."

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.  After a few seconds, Bob hands her the $800 and leaves.  The woman wraps herself back up in her towel and goes back upstairs.

When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"

"It was Bob, the next door neighbour," she replies.

"Great," says the husband.  "Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"

Moral of the Story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.


Lesson 2:

A priest offered a nun a ride.  She got in the car and crossed her legs, causing her gown to reveal an ample amount of leg.  The priest nearly caused an accident.

After recovering, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.  The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"

The priest removed his hand.  But after changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.  The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"

The priest apologized, "Sorry, Sister, but the flesh is weak."

By this time, they had arrived at the convent.  The nun sighed heavily, thanked the priest and went on her way.

On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129.  It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."

Moral of the Story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
 

Lesson 3:
 
A sales representative, an administration clerk and their manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.  They rub it and out comes a Genie!
 
The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish."
 
"Me first!  Me first!", says the administration clerk.  "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world!"  Poof!  She's gone.
 
"Me next!  Me next!", says the sales representative.  "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life."  Poof!  He's gone.
 
"Okay, you're up," says the Genie to the manager.
 
The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."
 
Moral of the Story:
Always let your boss have the first say.
 
 
Lesson 4:
 
An eagle is sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. 
 
A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?"
 
The eagle answered, "Sure.  Why not?"
 
So the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested.  All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
 
Moral of the Story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
 
 
Lesson 5:
A turkey was chatting with a bull.  "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."
 
Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull.  "It's full of nutrients."  The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
 
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.  Finally, after a fourth night, the turkey finally made it to the top of the tree and was proudly perched there.
 
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
 
Moral of the Story:
Bull Sh#t may get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
 
 
Lesson 6:
 
 
A little bird was flying south for the winter.  It was so cold that the little bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field.  While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
 
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow poop, he began to realize how warm he was.  The poop was actually thawing him out!
 
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. 
 
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.  Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
 
Moral of the Story:
1.  Not everyone who sh^ts on you is your enemy.
2.  Not everyone who gets you out of sh^t is your friend.
3.  When you're in deep sh^t, it's best to keep your mouth shut!
 
Thus ends the 6 Lesson Management course - I hope you learned something! :)

The 36 Rules in Life

I found this on the Got Funny blog while Stumbling one night.  No, not stumbling, as in something one does when they have imbibed too many margharitas (although that has been known to occur...) but Stumbling - do you Stumble?? OMGosh, I'm addicted!
 
Anyhow, found these Life rules and I have to say - I agree with all of them!  In particular, number 3, 8, 19, 27 and 32...
 
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. Don’t worry about what people think, they don’t do it very often.

3. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car.

4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

5. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you’ve never tried before.

6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.

8. A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.

9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.

10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.

11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

12. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.

13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.

1 4. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.

15. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.

16. A balanced diet is a muffin in each hand.

17. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places.

18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.

19. Junk is something you’ve kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

21. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.

23. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

24. Someone who thinks logically provides nice contrast to the real world.

25. It ain’t the jeans that make your butt look fat.

26. If you had to identify in one word the reason why the human race has not achieved it’s full potential, that word would be ‘meetings’.

27. There is a very fine line between ‘hobby’ and ‘mental illness.’

28. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

29. You should not confuse your career with your life.

30. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.

31. Never lick a steak knife.

32. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

33. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
34. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

35. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that deep down inside we ALL believe we are good drivers.
36. Your friends love you anyway.

WWBD?

You know how you can get sucked into surfing the Web - and one click leads to another... and before you know it, you've either ended up somewhere that you DEFINITELY shouldn't be or you found something funny/smart/interesting/other.

That happened to me tonight.

I ended up on a site that had funny bumper stickers and I, of course, at 12:39am, found myself on the Chicago Metromix website, looking at bumper sticker after bumper sticker in their picture gallery!  I know I just lost about 20 minutes of my life that I'll never get back, but there were some funny ones...

Like this:

Blast from the past...

I found these on my hard drive tonight... I think that they are from Angie's camera?
At any rate, the camera data dates them at 2005-08-20. That means that Connor is just over 5.5 yrs old and Aili is a year and a week...
Connor looks so young (and short! ;)) with his short hair!
And oh dear! How precious is that hat?? It disguises her LACK of hair, too...Sadly, nothing can disguise the attitude...

LOL! This picture makes me crack up EVERY time!!
Happy Thursday!
