Funny Things Friday

Yep it's time for some more Funny Things Friday. Just a reminder:
**I answer phones at work so I am constantly hearing funny things. There is only 1 of the companies I work for where I live so I will not directly refer to that company but instead will call it XYZ. What I will tell you is I am a receptionist for a car dealership. That is very important to keep in mind as you hear these things. Some make me laugh and some well they just irritate the hell out of me. All stories are true events! Names will be changed for privacy purposes.


Me: Thank you for calling XYZ how may I direct your call?
Cust: I'm sorry who is this?
Me: This is XYZ
Cust: Are you sure this isn't headquarters for Bo Jangles?
Me: Yep pretty sure! (Ok I'm not supposed to be sarcastic but I had to do it.)
Cust: Well I dialed the numbered to Bo Jangles
Me: I'm sorry but you must have misdialed
Cust: I never misdial, this must be Bo Jangles!!! (She said this very loud)
Me: **blink, blink**

That's all the calls I got for you today because it's been a heck of a week and it's also very early in the morning and I'm getting ready to go to work. Hope y'all have a great weekend! Now I leave you with some funny pics.

It's All In The Box

Today I'm going to talk to you about mailboxes. Yes, I'm serious because there is an entire story behind our mailbox when we moved into our home.

We moved from Alabama to TN in 2007. We had 2 days while we were here to look at homes and we looked at a ton of them. I did not want the house we are in (yes, I'm very thankful to have a home since I know you are reading this Prince Charming!) but it had carpet. I hate carpet and of course Prince Charming promised to put hardwood floors in the living room since I don't like carpet. Well I should have known better, but I wanted to have faith that he would do it. Need I tell you that he put new carpeting down in the living room?

That is not my story though. When we moved here there was a lot of work to be done in the house and around the property. Prince Charming loves the yard to look nice and I must admit he does a fantastic job at making it look nice all the time. Bless his heart!

Well our mailbox was one of those cheap ones on a flimsy metal pole. Prince Charming was doing his yard work, cleaning it all up and making it look good and was chopping away on all the over growth around the mailbox. When he cut all the growth around the mailbox down, it fell over. I swear to you this is a true statement.


Well then we had to go on our journey of finding a new one. I had a dream of getting one of those pretty decorative mailboxes, but he had another plan. I still dream about having me a fancy mailbox and so comes the website searching.

I happened upon this website that has mailboxes for sale. They have some traditional mailboxes and some gorgeous really catches my eye modern ones. These are good quality mailboxes at great prices. They sell both residential and commercial mailboxes. They also offer curbside decor that will really enhance your curbside appeal.

No Name Calling Week

 Did you know that this week is No Name Calling week. I know for some of you this may be hard. People like to call me names - like perfect, beautiful, fun, silly, loyal...you know all those wonderful things.


Seriously though, this is No Name Calling week. I think it's a great idea. Tell your kids and maybe they will go a week without calling someone a name. Maybe it will catch on and they will stop doing it. 


What is it:
No Name-Calling Week is an annual week of educational activities aimed at ending name-calling of all kinds and providing schools with the tools and inspiration to launch an on-going dialogue about ways to eliminate bullying in their communities.

Who should participate:
Anyone who wants to work towards eliminating harmful name-calling, harassment and bullying in their school can be a part of No Name-Calling Week, whether you are a teacher, student, guidance counselor, coach, librarian or bus driver. 

No Name-Calling Week was inspired by a young adult novel entitled "The Misfits" by popular author, James Howe. The book tells the story of four best friends trying to survive the seventh grade in the face of all too frequent taunts based on their weight, height, intelligence, and sexual orientation/gender expression. Motivated by the inequities they see around them, the "Gang of Five" (as they are known) creates a new political party during student council elections and run on a platform aimed at wiping out name-calling of all kinds. Though they lose the election, they win the support of the school's principal for their cause and their idea for a "No Name-Calling Day" at school. 

Motivated by this simple, yet powerful, idea, the No Name-Calling Week Coalition, created by GLSEN and Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, and consisting of over 40 national partner organizations, organized an actual No Name-Calling Week in schools across the nation during the week of March 1-5, 2004. This year, No Name-Calling Week will take place the week of January 24-28, 2011. The project seeks to focus national attention on the problem of name-calling in schools, and to provide students and educators with the tools and inspiration to launch an on-going dialogue about ways to eliminate name-calling in their communities.

You Know He's Spoiled....

Yes this pic was taken at Christmas, yes this is not a great pic I know...but isn't he the cutest thing in the entire world! I have to tell you I L.O.V.E this dog!

Guapo will be 3 yrs old on May 20th. I have had him since birth and he's my baby. When he was about 4 months old a friend of mine came to see me from Ohio. We sat outside and enjoyed a fire at table and they had some drinks. Prince Charming and I can not live without our dogs.

Sorry I got off track...we were all outside enjoying a fire and they were having drinks. My little Guapo was maybe 1 pound at the time. He's very small! I didn't want him to get cold so I put him inside of my sweatshirt and he slept. That has become and unbreakable habit.

The other day I sat down on the couch with just a t-shirt on...well I had pants on also but I mean I didn't have a sweatshirt on as usual. Guapo I swear gave me a WTF look. I knew what that look meant...I didn't have a sweatshirt on. So I got up and put one on so he could climb inside.

Yep he's spoiled and I love him!
