...we're gonna party like ITS MY BIRTHDAY!! incase I didn't remind you enough...
<-- check out the bday love I'm getting already! Handmade cards and presents and dinners and roosters and giggling and gift cards and roosters and tshirts and goodies and roosters...
Jealous, aren't you?
After a crazy day at work ending with my first solo QK club meeting at the store, I was tres ready for some serious CHIPS AND SALSA at Sam Diegos with my girls ;) Jenn, Erin and MelisseR. Seriously, when the hostess at Sam Diegos sees us come into the restaurant, she should immediately seat us in the "loud and obnoctious" section. Definately we were NOT in that section last night. We were in the "waitress-with-no-personality-or-sense-of-humor" section. Too bad for her. We were giggling and making inappropriate comments and having a fab-u-lous time... I was quite surprised that each of the girls, independent of one another, got me some sort of rooster item as part of my gift.
from Jenn: a lovely tshirt
from Erin: a lovely tea set
from MelisseR: a lovely giant metal rooster...
After a few minutes of sitting with my gifts strewn about the booth, arm wrapped lovingly about the neck of my giant metal rooster, erin looks at me and says in a not-so-subtle voice "hey, I really like your c@ck". Nice!! Now we had something to holler about in the middle of Sam Diegos, as if we weren't already disturbing the people around us. Hey, we bring the party with us, we don't want to rely on others for entertainment. No apologies.
A few more pics from the evening: 
Three words: Free. Fried. Icecream.
Yep, free fried icecream at Sams on your birthday. Woohoo! Four spoons, please!
Fun. Fun. Fun. :) Thanks for a great ending to a very long day.. and for kicking off my official bday weekend with me, girls!
P.S. Check out jenn's blog to see pics of the goodies she made me for my birthday.. she is super talented and thoughtful and my bff! and I am lucky to have someone like her to be catty and crafty with :) While you're at it, check out the store website and see a LO I made of Griff using some new Cosmo Cricket papers (right now it's on the front page of the site, on the left hand side :) While you're at that, why don't you just check out the store blog and catch up on the newest arrivals?

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I didn't know it was your birthday today...your BFF needs to do a better job making sure everyone in America knows when your birthday is, geesh! Well, at least all the cool kids who read blogs anyway.
I don't have anything especially funny to share, so instead I'll leave you a corny joke:
Q: Why did the little girl put birthday candles on the toilet?
A: Because she wanted to have a birthday potty!
Hahaha, I crack myself up, so hopefully you'll laugh too...even if it's AT me! HUGS!

Hmmmm, make you laugh, eh? Let's see..... imagine this.... a scavenger hunt at a Middle School... one requirement for each class is a boy dressed up as Barbie.... and yes, several classes have a boy brave enough to do it.... then imagine the lunchroom staff watching a Barbie Boy in the library.... who is busy unstuffing, restuffing and adjusting his "girls". We laughed so hard...

Happy Birthday! Wow is this a tough one. I don't know any good jokes, or at least jokes I can write about. lol But I can tell you something funny that my dog did.
I have an 80 lb Husky/Collie mix and she was in the kitchen eating her kibbles when a knock came to my back door. Well the poor dog had her mouth full of kibbles and tried to bark. She made one loud woof and all the kibbles shot from her mouth. It was so funny. I don't think she even knew what to think of it. lol It's the one and only time I've ever seen her do this.

A Happy Birthday to you Melissa! As your invitation states, we at least need to make you smile...so here goes! You are an amazingly warm, creative and caring lady. Since you have been working at our favorite CC store, there is an extra measure of lively laughter and fun, not to mention helpful knowledge and practical know-how. Jayne and your co-workers have to admit as I'm sure we all do, that you are one of the reasons we keep comin' back for more!!!

Happy Birthday!
Something to smile about...
You are home with 3 sick kids! Isn't that a relief.
Maybe I can tell you one of my 7 year old's jokes.
What do you call a box of ducks?
Answer...duckers!!
(He thought it was funny when he "made it up.")

Here's a couple from my kids since I am not feeling well today and can't think of anything funny... I hope these bring a chuckle or at least make you roll your eyes and groan LOL.
What is invisible and smells like bananas?
Monkey farts.
---
What to magicians and hockey players have in common?
Hat tricks.
---
Why did the piece of gum cross the road?
Because he was stuck to the chicken's foot.

Happy birthday!

Love your site. Thanks for sharing all your creations--and the blog candy of course.
Something funny? Hmmmmmm.....I was just on a trip with 16 of my college students and we got snowed in for an extra day! Took us 6 hours to get home and it usually takes 2! Was that funny? Well, it was for me. The girls are a barrel of laughs. The word for the trip was "boobiful"! Imagine 16 young women and their instructors, making comments like: "Isn't that boobiful?" as we walk through the mall. Who couldn't help but laugh at that.
Now--off for a glass of wine to relax.

Happy Birthday!!! Hmmm, how to make you smile. Well I think kids say things that well they are so innocent they are cute. So I have 3 daughters, 6 yrs apart...the youngest is 3 the other two go to school accross the street from each other. My oldest (15yrs) forgot her assignment for last class and asked when I picked up her (9yr old)sister if I could bring it. I always go early to get a good parking spot, so thought we would just walk it over. As we are standing at the lights waiting to cross my little one says "do we have to stand by that BOY?" (she is a loud little girl), of course I say yes, then she says "but I don't want to stand by that BOY, HE IS GROSS!!!" I quietly(as he is like a foot away)say he probly goes to school with her sister and we have to be nice. Then she blurts out again " BOYS ARE GROSS AND I DON'T LIKE BOYS...JUST MY DAD!!!" Her older sister was mortified hearing this, I am sure the boy wasn't too pleased...but ya know sometimes you just can't prevent what comes out of the mouths of our babes. I hope this made you smile, maybe even reminded you of a funny moment too.

Happy Birthday to you! I love birthdays! But then again, who doesn't? Presents, cake, more presents!
My funny story comes right from the mouth of my soon to be 5 year old daughter. My husband enjoys deer hunting and has shot a few coyotes lurking around our house (we worry about the kids being outside sometimes) so my daughter sees him go outside with his gun on occasion and she knows that we have had deer meat before. Well, one afternoon there was a groundhog walking around our barn. My daughter comes to me and says "Mommy, go get daddy cause there's something outside that he can shoot so you can cook it!" ??? She shows me out the window and I see that it's a groundhog and I proceed to tell her that we don't 'eat' ground hog. It was a funny day!

Happy Birthday!
Great BLOG!
Kids are always the best source for fun,, One of my favorite things my middle daughter said to me one night at the dinner table when she was 4(she is now 35)and she didn't want to eat what ever it was we were having,, ,,(with a very serious face) she said,,, "mom,, you know we all have different tastes in our mouths" .. That comment is still used in our home..
Thanks for offering up the awesome blog candy,,

I was working at a seminar this morning, mostly in the kitchen. I went to check on another friend who was just standing at the door, supposedly greeting people. She looked ... unusually sad. So I just asked how she was. Turned out her daughter, who has been married for 27 years, just called her and announced she was divorced and she and her husband were instantly put into depression and despair.
i know, i know..you are wondering when you get to LOL...ok. so after that topic was discussed thoroughly, she mentioned there were some Peeps at the other door. I went and got one. Walking back to my friend, peep in hand, I asked her....
Do you know how you eat a Peep? She said no.
So as I proceeded to demonstrate and talk at the same time, I said...you eat it's head first so he can't see you eating the rest of him.
First laugh for her of the day. And for her, in her state, it was the double-over-at-the-waist laugh that got her through the moment.
Hopefully you can see the humor in this story and are laughing...cuz I've written a lot and would really like to win your blog candy.

Happy Happy Birthday, Melissa!!
here's one from one preschool teacher to another:
this happened back when toy story was BIG:
i walked into my classroom of 4 yr olds and noticed andrew in the corner of the room happily playing by himself -- he looked up and said, "Hey, Miss Janet - look, i have a big Woody today!"

Happy Birthday! Sounds like you had a blast! I love reading all of these! Mine is another one out of the mouths of babes! Kids really say the funniest things, and usually are totally unaware of it. At the start of the school year we do different reading assessment tests. This helps us see what each child can do and understand. Each child gets the same test. One part of the test we read each child the same book and then ask them questions about the story. (these are all 1st grade students) The story we used this year was called The Carrot Seed. It tells about a little boy who planted a carrot seed, watered it and pulled the weeds around it everyday, and waited and waited for it to grow. Then we ask questions about the story, some of the questions were........How do you plant a seed? What is a carrot? So I am testing one of my students, I read him the book and start asking him the questions. One of the other questions is What is a weed? The little boy without hesitation says to me " Oh my Dad smokes weed" OH......MY.......GOSH, I almost fell off my chair. That is one answer I have never received before! Now everytime we have a school function and I see his Dad, I can't help thinking "WOW that guy smokes weed"!! Thanks for sharing with us! Christine
