I made myself CRY from LAUGHING so hard at something that I did..

Last summer, everyone was sitting by the pool listening to music. We had a Frank Sinatra CD in pretty much all day. Towards the evening, my dad brings out a new CD and claims that he "was getting tired of Frank Sinatra". What did he decide to put on instead?

Michael Buble. What kind of songs does Michael Buble cover? Frank Sinatra songs.

Sometimes...words cannot describe...the madness.

It was really funny because the other day I was with my sister Lucy and my boyfriend Linus and we were wondering when Sally was going to get home from work. So Lucy says, "Do you think she's hanging out in her classroom putting glue on her face?" which is amazingly funny because of the movie "Billy Madison." In the movie, Adam Sandler has the craziest, most hippiest first grade teacher, named Miss Lippy. When he decides to ditch recess and come back into the classroom, he catches Miss Lippy listening to some weird tribal music and doing some sort of rain dance, (or that was my interpretation of it.) Then, as the movie goes on, Adam Sandler is staying after school to clap some erasers and she is in the background putting glue on her face with a popsicle stick. Imagining my sister Sally doing this makes me laugh like there's no tomorrow.

Anyway, I'm going back to my "Carver really grinds my gears" topic because I was leaving work the other day and I was picking up something for that night. So here I am at the self checkouts and I look to the side of me (at the other self checkout) and I see this man with a purse. And I'm not talking like a "satchel" or like a "man bag", I'm talking full on LADIES purse. I didn't want to stare because I didn't want to get shot (like the man with the purse would shoot anyone, he probably doesn't even carry a gun in the purse, probably just some mints, a fake phone, a voodoo doll with pins stuck in it, and some tampons.) But as I was walking out, I legit saw him throw it over his shoulder and start walking away.

I mean like, really. I know Carver is a weird place, but a PURSE?! I guess some people could argue that this man was doing his wife a favor and going in to pick up a few things and she could have pulled the old "just take my purse" rigamarole, but I have a feeling this was highly doubtful. Because men who are forced to carry women's purses always hold them awkwardly, not throw them over their shoulders, whip their hair back, and put their hand on their hip. Okay, their hair whipping and the hand on the hip never happened, but still.

Woulda been funny.


Speaking of funny, I seem to think it's funny that last week when Schroeder was over, I was going pee (in the bathroom) and he came down the hallway and this is how our conversation went:

Schroeder: "Hey, are you going #2?!"
Me: "No!"
Schroeder: "Then what the Hell are you doing?!"
Me: "I went pee...and now I'm just THINKING!"

So of course, throughout the day, every time I peed he would yell through the door "hey quit thinking in there!" But honestly, sometimes it's a peaceful place. Because after all, nobody follows you into the bathroom. And if they did, you'd have quite the problem. Just sayin.

Anyway, here's this.



People think I'm weird, but I don't know why they would say that?
