FANtastic Friday: Being Lazy



Ok, so, this is a bit of a cop-off post, but its my last off day and I really just want to sit on my rear in my recliner and watch TV. 


Even as I am typing this, with my laptop on my lap, a re-run of The Big Theory (that I've seen too many time to count) on TV, my desktop fan blowing in my face (my hot flashes are acting up), my peace sign candle warming some Sweet Pea, slowing rocking myself to sleep in my recliner......   I am the definition of lazy. 


So...  to all a good day....  I am getting back to being lazy....

Tunes on Tuesday: The Glory of Love by Peter Cetera

I'm really into music here lately.  I think its because I can listen to it all night at work.  I've gone through my entire music collection and loaded it all up on my iPhone to help me pass the time until my shift it over.

This got me thinking.  Why not share some of my favorite music?

So, here you go.  This is my all time favorite song.

Enjoy!

Wacky and Weird Wednesday: Are you looking at my butt?

So, this one is a bit silly but I thought worth a post anyway. 

This is my current phone book.


Look at it a minute.  Aren't the deer pretty?

See anything funny?

 I didn't either at first.  It was my husband that pointed out. 


Now, look at this picture. 


 


Its almost as if the deer is saying, "Are you looking at my butt?" 

Here are some weird books I came across. I have not done my research on these, and honestly, I don't think I want too.






 **Fair Warning**  

The next three might be offensive!
