have you heard the secret?

I don't do this very often, but I want to introduce you all to one of my FAVORITE bloggers, Lori Volkman at Witty Little Secret.  I've only been subscribing to her posts for a couple of months now, but I literally laugh out loud, or cry, OR BOTH, every time I read her posts. 

Today's post was just so PERFECT, I simply had to share.  It really hit home with me, since I am still trying to draw my 'real' husband out from the shell of a man he came home as almost 8 months ago.  She starts out with this intro:

"This week I wrote Husband an effusive email expressing various events, emotions, challenges. I laid bare my concerns, seeking input and counsel. I reached out into the ethernet for some partnership, some companionship, and possibly some laughter.

Husband’s response announced: ”See responses below.” I scrolled down. At the end of each of my written paragraphs were his contrasting color comments. And by “comments” I actually mean single word phrases. The response to paragraph #1 was “yes,” paragraph #2 was “cool” and paragraph #3 was … wait for it … “Mind over matter.”

 

I stared. I had PTSD flash-backs of R&R. I flashed forward to homecoming. And I did what any girl would do. I issued an OPORD. I have a feeling this one is going to get me in trouble …"

Her OPORD is freaking HILARIOUS!  Go here to read the whole post.....I guarantee you will love it! 

video linkup, week 11!

WOW, I can't believe this linkup has now been running for 11 weeks!  Even more than that, I can't believe that out of over 150 followers, only 2 or 3 are participating regularly.....what's up with the rest of y'all?

Well, for those of you who are just here to watch - I am including TWO videos this week.  I kinda have to, because they're related.  Well, sorta.

The first one *might* be real (shudder).  I hope it's not!  The second one is obviously a spoof commercial for a non-existent dating service.  I wish I could have found the SNL one, for "MeHarmony"....freaking HILARIOUS!

Anyway, enjoy:

HA HA HA awesome, right?

So, for those of you who have been THINKING about doing this linkup....this is the week to do it!  Post a viral video on your blog, then link back to THIS POST in your blog (copy and paste the url above)  and then, the last step, come back here, click the little blue "add your link" down on the bottom of this post, and past YOUR blog post URL in there.  All done!  Wasn't that easy? 

I'm trying to get TEN people to add their link to this, so I can justify doing the paid subscription from inlinks instead of the free one.  Paid subscription will allow THUMBNAIL collections, so instead of just seeing a text link for the person who linked up, you'll see a THUMBNAIL - the blog button or profile pic, for instance.  It's pretty cool.  It doesn't even cost very much money, but in my head I just can't justify PAYING for a service if I don't think anyone will really USE it.  So come on, show me that you'll use it!  It doesn'y cost YOU anything!  And, you might just meet some other cool bloggers along the way.  I certainly have.

video linkup FUNNNNNNY

This week's viral video linkup features one of my favorite YouTube sensations: Retarded Policeman!  Yes, I actually do realize how offensive this is (on soooooo many levels) but I just can't help but laugh.

My own husband is a law enforcement officer - and so is my best friend's hubby.  In fact, Bestie is the one who first introduced me to this, bac when the "Boobies" episode first aired.

This episode is an ode to Star Wars, bicyclists, cops, and retards everywhere.  (again, YES I know this is offensive.  If you can't laugh along, feel free to click that little X in your top right corner....buh-bye!)

This linkup is once again in danger of dying - if you want to save it, PARTICIPATE!  Go post a viral video over on your blog, then come back here to link up! (the little blue button below)  Don't forget to link back to my post in your own post, so your readers can join in on the fun, too. If I can get TEN participants I will upgrade my inlinkz subscription to allow thumbnail links instead of just text - so you can post a picture (or your blog button) when you link up!

Video Linkup, WEEK 2

OK if you missed this last week, I hope you come join us this time!  This will be up every Sunday, and I am leaving it open for 48 hours so you can add it to your Monday posts if you miss it on Sunday.

All you have to do is post your favorite VIRAL VIDEO of the week (from YouTube, etc) and then link up below! 

This week I am posting one that I first saw a few months ago, and it is apparently making a comeback on FaceBook.  My little Baby Bobblehead has mood changes like this with some of our favorite songs, too!

Too cute, right?  Now go post something on your blog, and be sure to link it back here so I can enjoy it with you!

New video LINKUP!

Join me for a new Viral Video linkup!  Since this is the first week, I am leaving this link open until Friday night at midnight, and in the future I will hold this as a two-day linkup, Sunday/Monday every week.

All you have to do to participate is post on your own blog with your favorite viral video of the week, then come back here and linkup!  It can be a funny video, a crazy/impossible video, a how-to video, whatever piqued your interest recently.  Then you can check out the other videos posted, and make sure you leave a little comment love on the blogs you visit through this linkup.

Now, please enjoy the video that got the biggest LAUGHS in my house this week:

OK now go change your pants, and post your own video! (and be sure to come back next week to see what silliness got me through this week!)

HAVE FUN WITH YOUR PLAYLIST!

A couple years ago on FaceBook I participated in some silliness....you know, the notes that were posted, if you were tagged in it you had to copy and paste it into a new note and put in your own answers, and tag ten people or whatever. Anyway, two of those notes have been on my mind lately, especially since I have been having so much fun with Amber's music linkup every Thursday over at Goodnight Moon. I decided to re-post them here, and if anyone WANTS to copy and paste it and put your own answers up on your own blog, please come back and comment here, with a link to your blog in the comment! I'd love to see if you guys find these as hilarious as I did.


Here's the first note:
