Did You Make the Cut?

I haven't blogged in a while.  I have a friend who did the I told you so...and she is right.  So, I am back.  Did you miss me?  Lots of silly, inane and ridiculous things have happened.  I will gradually get to those.  I have decided to go in a new direction.....intersperse the riveting tales of chaos and confusion from my house with my favorite Facebook status updates.  You know, the ones that make you smile.  Keep checking back, you never know if you made the cut......so, for the inaugural post of You Made Me Smile Today.....(drum roll, please....)

My friend Christine who posted she's going off the rails of the Crazy Train.  Poor delusional woman.  She is SO driving that Crazy Train and has been off the rails for years.  (Psst, this is NOT a status update, its a status quo)

Tammie couldn't read because she couldn't remember her password.  While I do love my Kindle, nothing beats a real live book.  They don't go dead and need to be recharged.  They also don't require a password. You will all be pleased to know that password or not, Tammie does know how to read and reads quite a bit.

Victoria, a fellow hockey fan, who agrees my husband's "amusing" purchase of a Montreal Canadiens Tshirt was a capital offense. (no hockey pun intended)  The fact he actually wore it-a mortal sin.  My daughter agrees. She wouldn't look at her father, acknowledge him or speak to him all day, until he put a Bruins T shirt on after dinner.

Donna somehow said yes to her 12 year old daughter having a sleep over with 5 of her friends while in the middle of a phone call.  Very smooth, girl child, getting mom when she was distracted.  That made me smile, but the awesomeness of the post?  She not only let her daughter give her a make over....but she also posted MULTIPLE pictures of her with this makeup all over her face.  That's an awesome mom.

The last, but in my opinion, best post of the day...my friend Pauline has a 13 year old son who is a primordial dwarf (he's toddler sized)    He was being obnoxious and mouthy (shocking at his age..NOT) and his brother in law put him in the freezer.  She posted pictures of his head barely peeking over the top of the door and his feet resting on the top of the refrigerator door.  Her son in law was standing in front of the freezer, holding  the mouthy little darling in the freezer while holding the freezer door open.  I heard first hand that it worked, he really did chill out!!!

My favorite non Facebook conversation occurred in my own house.  Our cat George is wonderful and lovable, but when his tail is twitching......back off.  The funny episode went something like this.
Sarah:  Daddy, George's tail is twitching.  Don't touch him.
Michael:  Georgie kitty is fine.
Sarah:  Daddy, George's tail is twitching.  Stop touching him.
Michael: oh, not Georgie kitty loves..OUCH you little turd.
Sarah:  Daddy, you bleed on the love seat Mummy is going to be really mad.  (turning to me) Mummy, is it THAT frustrating when I don't listen to you?  Daddy was really irritating when he wouldn't listen.
Me:  CRACKING UP.

There you have it.  A summation of some of the things my friends posted that made me smile.  Tune in tomorrow.  Will you make the cut?  Don't worry if you DO make the cut.  I will only use first names in my blog posts.  Before I post anything personal or identifying, I will check with you first.
