the best things in life are free!..... mostly

I seriously think that someone out there does not want me to post anything. Ever again. It has taken me hours between trying to find the camera cord to downloading pictures from Jenny's camera to finding all the right links. Frustrating! And who said blogging was easy? For the record, they were wrong. So no pics this time either. But it's all good. I can deal with this. Deep breaths. Chill.

I don't know why, but life has been SO hilarious lately. Have I finally cracked and gone nuts? Or are these random events actually funny? Either way, at least they brightened my day. :)

1. I was filling up "my" car at Maverick and only wanted $26 in the money-sucking gas tank but got distracted. Which happens easily. So I jumped out of my dodge to stop the pump just as it hit $30.00 exactly. Without even trying! I have mad skills at the gas pump.....

2. Right after that, Jenny and I raced into "Great American Video" (which is WAY too long of a name to say and has nothing to do with edited movies. What's wrong with "Clean Pics" or "Movie Rentals Here"?). We wanted to rent The Proposal but alas!, they were all gone. We cried. Then an employee came to the rescue! Someone had just returned a copy and we got the last one. High-fives all around.

3. To top the night off, we opened the last popcorn bag in the box! Ok, that one was a cheat. We only got the second to last popcorn bag but we were on an awesome get-the-last-of-everything night. So you can see how necessary it was to continue the streak.....

4. To fully understand this one, you must watch this. After Tammy introduced Katie and I to this comical video, I wrote the following on a leaf to put on top of our family Thankful Tree, positioned above everyone else's naturally: "I was thankful for everything before everyone else so...."

Apparently, sometimes the best things in life are not free. Was $30 at the gas station and a movie rental worth a smile and a chuckle though? You betcha.

And Jenny's toenail fell off tonight. Hilarious.
