  1. I tried to sing along to a song in the car and take a drink of water at the same time the other day.

  2. Great giveaway!
    Something funny? How about to someone else? My girlfriend wanted to eat at a certain restaurant, but her gps led her down a blocked road. She gave up and went somewhere else. When she told me what happened, I had to break it to her that the restaurant she was looking for was in the same plaza of the one she ended up at.
    GPS isn't always reliable!

  3. Something funny? Really? I'm stumped. Guess I can't be entered in your giveaway :(

  4. My niece and nephew (with lots of encouragement from my sister) made up a song about how I almost ran someone down in a parking lot last weekend. They call and sing it to me. A lot!

  5. At church this Sunday, a little girl in my son's 4 yr old Primary class complimented the teacher (also the girl's mom) on her pretty white sparkly sweater. My son, figuring he should compliment me as well, announced "Well my mom has big boobs." Ahh, the joys of being a mother!

  6. Oh wow I love vintage sheets! While we were visiting some friends, the Mom had to take one of her children to a ball game. She left the oldest girl to finish making a strawberry rubarb pie. After we all finished eating dinner that night, one of the boys took a bite of the pie and immediately spit it out. The daughter had put in a whole cup of salt instead of sugar!!! We all had quite a laugh over that.

  7. Those are great fabrics. I was out shoveling snow yesterday (18 inches of it) and as I threw it onto the snowbank the wind blew it right back at me covering me in snow. It wasn't funny to me, but if anyone was watching I bet it looked quite funny.

  8. I totally caught a guy picking his nose then picking something out of his teeth (with the same finger) in his car today. I kept thinking of that Seinfield episode... and laughing the whole way home.

    ps, i love vintage sheets. I did the garden stripe quilt using vintage sheets. LOVE THEM!

  9. Can't think of anything too comical around here, I've been in a funk for the past few days. The up side is, after reading these other entries, I'm chuckling again!
    Thanks a whole bunch!!
    Lovely vintage fabs, my fingers are crossed :)

  10. This kinda got me thinking - when your children have left home not many funny things happen do they?? unless you count early last Friday morning when I was woken by my chickens making a lot of noise - I immediately thought "FOX" - jumped out of bed and dashed outside to see what was going on. Of course the fox or whatever had gone but picture me in PJ's and wellies brandishing a torch and a stick - not a pretty sight at 4 a.m I can tell you!!!

  12. Thanks for the vintage giveaway. Something funny? Like looking away while walking down the hall of your home, turning the corner (I thought I was) and running into the wall. Obviously it wasn't the corner. Or, my mother who took the house key (for the house we are trying to sell),put it in her key bag on the kitchen counter, then locked the house up with the punch button. We hope that the key bag will be safely sitting on the counter when we return next week- and use my spare key to enter. It's about an hour plus drive each way to the old house.

  13. My 5 1/2 year old son asked to help me with the laundry. "Sure!" I replied. Next thing I know he is wearing my underwear over his clothes and prancing around. Of course I took a picture for future black mail purposes.

  14. I babysat a friend's 2 year old and she threw up all over me, my couch, and my carpet... twice. :)

  15. My one year old daughter got a hold of my nail filer and started filing MY toenails. True story. Haha!

  16. funny--- having my son tell me the dictionary is actually the "bookionary". He is normally deadon with the right names for things, and big words... and I seriously can't get it out of my head.

    yes please on the sheets and congrats on 500 posts!

  17. My pup is a sock monster and I indulge her by giving her one to play with every now and then to keep her busy while I put the landry away. This past weekend I went to reach for the clean socks to put in drawers and noticed the pile was a little small. I look over and my golden retriever had about 5 of them all stuffed up in her mouth. I couldn't help but laugh at her chimpmuck cheeks and her tongue sticking out sideways -- apparently all sock with no room for the tongue left. She's a clown!

    Congrats on a lovely blog and cheers to many many more milestones!

  18. Everytime I go to Target I first purchase a large fountain drink to get me through the shopping experience with my 2 year old. Diet Pepsi just helps. Today before I even made my order, the lady just handed me my large cup. I'm pathetic.

  19. Well this didn't happen to me but to my little brother. In my family we have very unique sneezes. Mine I sneeze many times in a row (13 is my record) my dad very big and wet. My Dad was getting ready to sneeze and my little brother walked right into it. We were all laughing.

  20. I was riding the train today and overheard some undergrads flirting. The guy told the girl he was having a hard time choosing a major and that he might 'just become a cat instead'. The girl must have been really into the guy because she bought it and they had a discussion about becoming cats. It was really random but much better than hearing people complain about classes.

    Those are about the cutest fat quarters ever and congrats on the milestone!

  21. Nothing funny has happened recently, but when my Great Niece was about 3 I use to talk to her via the internet...she use to ask how Aunty Linda got in and out of the computer and she use to look at the back of it to see if I was there!! I usually go over to the UK once a year so now she knows I am a real person. Thanks for the chance to win.

  22. wow, 500 posts!! That is quite a mile stone. Something funny, I had salt and vinegar chips followed by beef jerky for breakfast. Not the healthiest I know, but that's what growing a person will do to you :)

  23. Wondered why my cats were freaking out the other morning at the livingroom window where they usually sit and watch the birds at the feeders. When I looked out there were eight very large wild turkeys milling around for seeds.
    Thanks for a chance.

  24. Congratulations on your 500th post! Most funny things around our house is when my mouth goes into gear before my brain does. I'll come up with the wildest things! The family even has a page called "mom's quotes" and they run to jot down crazy things I say. One was asking my husband if he was going to blacklist an email...but instead I said, "did you deadbolt it?" Or when saying I was thirsty I said, "I'm famished with liquid hunger." Or when we were traveling and our cell phone was about to go out of range I asked, "Are we about to bleep out of existence?"

    Oh my....probably only funny inside my family! But if anyone ever wants a laugh, we all go dig out Mom's Quotes! LOL!

  25. I was on a time crunch to finish a binding - being there is a lot of black fabric that just draws cat hair (and everything else), I waited to work on it when the 'queen' takes her nap. She was gone, so thought a good time to finish. Well, the last corner and turn into the final few stitches, I couldn't move the quilt. A few tugs revealed an ear, then a head, a mini mew, and slow stretching red-head emerged. She had actually gotten into the bag and down into the folds of the quilt to nap. Stinker. I had to laugh at her persistance to 'cat scan' that quilt no matter how I tried to keep it from her.

  26. Thanks for the giveaway.
    Something funny................
    Well I went to visit my daughter and one of my grandsons on my lunch hour this week. Well they had something I needed to bring home with me so I went back after work and my 3 yr old grandson looked at me when I came in and said " YOU AGAIN".
    At least a grandma can laugh at stuff like that.

  27. Well, just as I was trying to push down the wrapper on the frozen tube of yogurt for my daughter, she said "if daddy was here, he could do it." I am the one that always pushes the wrapper down so I am not sure where that came from. I am sure I will laugh at it soon. LOL

  28. Beautiful fat quarters.
    Something funny.. Since having my baby, I have small bladder issues, and sometimes have to run to the restroom in grocery stores. TMI? Oh to see the looks on their faces :)

  29. I love vintage sheets!
    I have been sick in bed since Monday, so the kids have had to just fend for themselves. Yesterday I went downstairs to check on the kids and they are all watching a movie in their underwear in the pitch dark, eating applesauce out of the jar with spoons.

  31. Something funny? Well, I think this one is funny; I don't know about you. My husband was a little under the weather the other day. So, after I finished watching my TV shows at night, I decided to check on him see if he's still alive and also see if he had a fever. Yeah, call me paranoid. Anyway, as I walked into the room he made some noise, so I thought he was awake and I tried to comfort him a little bit by giving him a hug. As soon as I put my hand on him, he freaked out,screamed and mumbled something at me. And then I freaked out, turned out that my hands were ice cold and I didn't notice until it was too late!

  32. A funny thing JUST happened - as I almost did a 'spit take' all over my desk while reading Deb's comment: "I'm famished with liquid hunger."
    I LOVE that! I'm going to steal that one Deb!!

    Congrats on 500 posts & thanks for the chance to win.

  33. Congratulations on 500 posts! Something funny? Last week we took our 3 sons to see Mary Poppins the Musical. When it was over son #3 (10 years old) stated that "the movie was better!" Could have just stayed home watching the dvd and saved all that money!

  34. Oh my gosh. I'm the Queen of funny comebacks, but today I'm blank.

  35. Not sure if this will be funny to you or not, but last week, I head to work and thought I'd take the trash down to the dumpster/compactor on my way out of the complex. I was heading out of town for the weekend, so rolled by suitcase to the car, left it by the door (thank goodness I locked my purse inside the car), and I walked over to the dumpster/compactor. I climbed up the steps, opened the gate, then threw the 2 bags of trash AND my keyring (with house and car keys) into the dumpster/compactor. I'm 57 years old and had already sat on the ledge trying to figure out how to retrieve my keys. My problem was there was a slick grimy downhill ramp trash slides down that feeds it into the dumpster/compactor. I was deathly afraid if I went down that ramp I wasn't going to be able to climb back up. I had sat there for almost 5 minutes trying to get brave enough to make that stupid slide down the ramp when a young couple drove up to throw away their trash. Thankfully the young girl volunteered to jump in and get my keys, and thankfully they had fallen right on top of the trash bags I had thrown in, so she didn't have to get into the compactor portion to get them. It wasn't funny at the time, but it's hilarious to me now. dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com

  36. I soak the cat box once a week in Pinesol. Tuesday morning I followed my normal routine - get box ready to soak, add the Pinesol & water, take the garbage out. I then settle down to read blogs while drinking coffee. Something was wrong. I just sensed the wrongness. Oh ... no pine smell. What? Upon investigation I discovered the cat box soaking in cold water and cooking oil. You would think they would label the plastic bottles better! Perhaps they expect me to look at the label? Happy quilting!

  37. Well, if you call two cats, one on the back of my chair and one on the side, thinking it is fun to attack me while I was working on a project, guess it is funny when you look at it from someone else's perspective;)

  38. We are potty training at my house and while it's not always funny, I still get a good laugh out of it. My son didn't want to wait for me to come wipe him in the back so he started on it himself. Seconds later I came in to find his hands dirty with you know what and one proud little boy. I had to smile because he was so proud of himself.

  39. What gorgeous fabrics!! You guys always have such fun stuff on your blog. 500 posts is pretty exciting!! Tonight at my mom's house we were playing with Abby in the bean bags. She was rolling around in them and pretty soon every hair on her head was standing straight up! I got a kick out of it although it is probably funnier if you were there!

  40. Thanks for the giveaway. 500 posts is quite an accomplishment.

    My grandson the other day said "Why does your tummy hurt when you are hungry?". His mom said, " I don't know it is trying to tell you it want's something to eat." He said " Don't you wish it would just use it's words?" He is so cute.

  41. I may have accidentally said something extremely inappropriate to the pizza man(boy in this instance.) Upon realizing I didn't have enough cash for a proper tip I said, "Maybe you'll come back some time and I can give you a better tip" I saw the words leave my mouth and watched as the boy took them in, and in all the wrong ways. "Maybe you'll come back some time...." the words repeated in my head, taunting laughing. This poor boy thought he had been lured into the cougar's den and all he wanted was to escape.


    D'oh! Havent ordered a pizza from there since.

  42. I went to pick up a friend to go to the quilt store and the side of her car was completely dirty. Watching the car from inside the house, we saw the bird who had done that marching back and forth, seeing himself in the mirror. He was protecting the nest in the tree above. Had to put socks on the outside mirrors until they left the nest.

  43. The change of life hormones are killing me. The other day, I was telling my friend a story on something that had happened. I stopped and had NO idea whatsoever where or why I was even telling it...true...I felt so stupid and the look on her face was the best...she was for sure I had lost my mind completely.....I wondered that too!

    Love these sheets, two of them I remember from when I has little.

  44. I went to see a neuro-surgeon (who was not a great doctor) at the end of the visit he offered me some pain meds (this was the ONLY thing he offered). I asked if they were addictive narcotics because I was a former addict...you won't believe his response..."I don't know...do you want them or not?" I could have died!! He would have given me ANYTHING. I just grabbed my purse and left. He actually stopped me and said, "Seriously, do you want this pills?" I couldn't believe him!! OK you have to laugh at this type of thing or you want to choke someone!!

  45. Oh...a good laugh: this weekend we had a Winter Teen Camp and we went snow shoeing. I had a pretty good laugh of all of us taking turns going to down the hill with a run, leap and belly dive down. I somehow tripped up and rolled on my second attempt. I felt like a kid!

    ReplyDelete
  46. This isn't funny but it sure made me very happy!!! I was at my favorite thrift store today and found several vintage sheets!! I smiled all the way home.

  47. I HAD the sheets on the lower right!....got them in Seattle years ago.......

    ANYHOW.....I undid a can of paint for my contractor and put a stir stick on top.......he didn't know I had and picked it up, turned it upside down, and it splattered ALL over the walls, windows, baseboard heater and floor..........it didn't seem funny at the time, but it is now.......
