My blood pressure is high.
Anyone heard any good jokes lately? Seen any good movies?
My coworkers want to do a ladies night to see that new Katherine Heigl movie, but it doesn't look all that funny to me. Have any of you seen it?
Twin boys due 7/25/12
Re: My blood pressure is high.
No good jokes... just the hilarious link I posted below.
I don't think I could sit through an hour 1/2 listening to Katherine Heigl's awful attempt at a NJ accent.
Horse walks into a bar. Bartender says "Hey friend. Why the long face?"
You couldn't pay me to see that movie. I only see her movies when flying, and that's just b/c they won't keep me awake after my sleeping pill and wine.
That movie seems worse than normal. When I checked in on rotten tomatoes, it was 0%. That doesn't mean unrated yet. It means no one liked it. Now it's at 3%.

Look at improv everywhere videos on youtube. They always make me smile.
I would see it because I think you deserve a girls night and it's cheaper than a $400 plane ticket to see your favorite girl (besides any one that may be in your uterus).

Not going to lie. I laughed out loud.
Ojo that movie sounds terrible to me too. I would go anyways for an excuse to leave the house and do something fun and also to get a cherry icee.
The only Ojo related entertainment I can think of is this page. It's the companion to the cat version. I visit the cat version, the dog version, the "stuff" version and occasionally also the "fail" version when I want to decompress.

There's a joke right there.
Katherine Hiegel is a hot mess of an actress if I've ever seen one. Not in the "her personal life is a mess/Lindsay Lohan" kind of way like she is seriously a shitastic actress.
The Descendants is supposed to be good. George Clooney is in it so that has the man appeal if she's looking for something chick-flick-ish.
I liked it. I've read the entire series of books. It isn't as good as the book, but it was a good movie.
Edit: The book is friggin hilarious.
Ojo I'm tell you this because you might find it funny, if you do not please do not flame me.
Darcy has potty training issues, it stems from being house broke and then left outside by foster mom( FM). It was getting better but then poop kept showing up in my house. Simon does it occasionally if its really cold out or rainy. So I couldn't just blame her automatically. So... E put blue food coloring in her dinner last night so we would know for sure if it was her. FYI seeing blue doggie poop is kind of funny.
Know that we know it was her we can work more on the training. No more food coloring!
And my cat keeps thinking he is going to trick me into opening the slider for him. He goes and scratches at it like the pups do its so funny!
A priest, a minister, and a rabbi walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, "What is this? A joke?"
My mom told me that one the other day and cracked herself right up.
If you're down for something relaxing, try this.
(If you can lie comfortably on your back)
1. Lay on the floor with your legs resting on your couch, bed, chair, or whatever might be at the perfect height that your knees bend and your legs are close to 90 degree angle. If you need to, place a pillow under your hips/head for comfort. (This is very good for your adrenals. If you don't have time to take a nap, this will assist you in feeling rested 10-15 min. Without that groggy feeling afterwards! )
2. Breathing technique. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds and repeat. You will notice your body relaxing. Continue until you feel better.
Hope it helps!
I seriously just laughed. Thank God I'm alone in my office.
