Here’s Hoping You Laugh Today

June 18, 2013 By Mary Hill 13 Comments

By Mary Hill


Elaine from The Miss Elaine-ous Life, has been hosting an Old School Blogging linkup for the last few months. This challenge is so much fun. It also ties into other Blog Hops that I have enjoyed following:  Two Shoes Tuesday and Humor Me Blog Hop.



A. Attached or Single? Attached to a gorgeous hunk of a man. Okay ladies remember I said hands-off. He’s all mine. 
Did I mention, he is a papa? He looks good doesn’t he?  
B. Best Friend? Now that is obvious.  My gorgeous husband who makes me laugh almost everyday.

C. Cake or pie? What I can’t have both?  This is America right. I love pumpkin pie, apple pie, and chocolate cake. 

D. Day of choice? I am a mom. Moms don’t get days off. Even on vacation. Who ends up in the laundry room washing and drying everyone’s bathing suits because no one wants smelly, moldy and wet things in the back of the car, and oh, one of the kids forgot to pack enough clothing for the trip? Come on guess. It’s not Dad or the oldest daughter who doesn’t want to be seen by the cute guys at the hotel hauling around laundry. That would embarass her. Well try walking three miles in the snow pushing a laundry cart full of dirty clothes on your way to school. Wait that was my other post:  http://mary-anderingcreatively.blogspot.com/2013/06/okaytime-to-be-funny.html/

E. Essential Item? My daughter’s laptop from 6 a.m. until she wakes up and demands it. I have this slow dinosaur that I use when she gets her newer model. But just wait, I will be getting a Windows 8 laptop very soon, eh, eh. (wicked chuckling.)

F. Favorite color? Red except when I wash something new and bright red with my whites.

G. Gummy bears or worms? Red gummy bears hands down.  I like all my candy red even if they taste the same. Red is my favorite color by the way.


H. Home town? Beautiful city in upstate South Carolina, Greenville.  It has grown so much since I was a child. We moved all over the Southeast and even landed in Ohio for a year, but Greenville was always my hometown. Now, I live in a new home town with a beautiful square not far from Greenville.


I. Favorite Indulgence? Red, dark chocolate peanut M&Ms. Heaven. I love anything chocolate.

J. January or July? I love January. I have a birthday in January. I hate the cold, but love snow. I mean if you are going to freeze, you need something beautiful to look at right?  I hope it snows on my next birthday.


K. Kids? Yes, a 10-year-old girl with my husband. Three not-step children with him as well.  My oldest daughter has two children and my oldest son and his wife had our youngest grandchild last November.  


L. Life isn’t complete without? My gorgeous husband, beautiful daughters, handsome son, sweet grand babies, and red peanut M&Ms.

M. Marriage date? April 19, 2002

N. Number of brothers/sisters? One sister, two brothers, a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law.

O. Oranges or Apples? Apples. Oranges. I love peeling them and drinking the juice too. I miss them now because I can’t drink orange juice anymore.  🙁 Acid reflux.

P. Phobias? Not sure I have one. Wait, maybe not making people laugh when I try to write something funny? You laughed at least once by now right?

Q. Quotes? 

You can lead a man to Congress, but you can’t make him think.
Milton Berle

My favorite quote from my pastor son: “If you find a perfect church, please don’t join it. You’ll only mess it up.”

R. Reasons to smile? My grandkids and funny blogs

S. Season of choice? Spring. I love flowers and babies. 

T. Tag 5 People. Yvonne Lewis, Kate, Sharon , Angelique Ouelle, Krista Low

U. Unknown fact about me? I am not funny. No, not in the least little bit despite years of trying. I flop.

V. Vegetable? broccoli and cheese casserole. Sweet potatoe pie.

W. Worst habit? You don’t want to be around me when I am dealing with insurance companies. 


X. Xray or Ultrasound? Neither. Both are two expensive and the hospitals rip you off. Now my face is red thinking about the health insurance industry. I have to go call my insurance company. Breathe and remember it is not the insurance worker’s fault that insurance companies were invented by the devil to try my Christianity.

Y. Your favorite food? Red chocolate peanut M&Ms. I thought I answered this question already.

Z. Zodiac sign? Capicorn

Now it’s your turn. Grab the questions and the badge (from Elaine’s sidebar) and link up (with me or her). You’ve got two weeks so there’s no excuse to not join in on the fun. Oops.  I am tardy. Please forgive me.  Hey it is only the 18th. That’s not to late is it? Man, I always find out about these blog hops too late.  I am doing it anyway. By golly. 🙂 Have to run.  Don’t have time to proofread. Will make corrections throughout the day.



Your choice of word prompts for Tuesday, June 18th are:
 
fire or laughter

    That was very fun. I’ve been on our boat for the last six nights so I’ve been very slow getting back to everyone. Home now.

    I see you have a handsome funny husband too. Good for the both of us.

    Have a fabulous day. ☺

    I love January too. It never gets so unbearable here for our fake winters in NC but July is unbearable HOT. I think January has the prettiest birthstone too.

    This was fun to read, learning a little more about you, and you definitely had me laughing with how many times you managed to sneak in your preference for red! I also totally agree with your concept of desserts… why can’t we just have them all?! 🙂 Thank you for joining us at Two Shoes Tuesday, reasons to smile are always welcome at the end of the day!
