The laffs, they are good for you

You know I can't be serious all the time. Here's a few of my favorite places to visit when I need a little break, every 2-3 minutes or so.

• I won't shop there, but I sure will laugh at their customers. I looked through all 50+ pages the first day I found this gem. I herby present to you: The People of Walmart.
• I love Etsy. I do. But there are some strange things out there. For actual sale. On the actual site. No joke. Really. It's Regretsy, man.
• I'm a sucker for the old "good lord, people are stupid, oy" stories of Not Always Right.
• And then there's the wacky Awkward Family Photos site. Really. Me likey.
  

Food for the hungry and food for your brain

I’ve mentioned Free Rice before, where you can exercise your brain and earn rice to donate to the hungry at the same time. Little did I know that there are lots of other subjects! Boo just reached level 5 on Basic Math – I’m so proud. I thought I knew a lot about art, but I’m not nearly as good at the famous painting subject as I anticipated. English grammar is easy, as is German vocabulary, but I am surprised that I could hit level 8 in French. I took one year of French in high school and was never any good. There’s also geography and chemical symbol fun. Something for everyone! Go donate some rice now!

What’s your name?

Let me introduce my family. There’s me, the "exalted, godly abundance farmer." Seems about right, with all my veggie growing madness. Then there’s N, "victory of the valley people who lived near a new castle.” Hmm. I’m not sure about the valley victory, but he sure did rehab our castle. Perhaps all the cheering for the underdogs that he does?

And our cute girls, "lovable" and “flower.” Awww.

Drive-by posting

I'm really swamped at work today. You know, first day back after an exotic vacation of playdates and trudging through the entire zoo.

So, instead of actual content, please enjoy this hilarious muppet blooper video.

Links

Fun link for the day. Just let it load and give it a second.

Useful links for the day if you have a desire to search just blogs: Google blog search and Icerocket. Reading blogs is definitely my new addiction. What a fun way to waste the hour(s) that I'm not working, watching the kids, fighting with my sad and pathetic insurance company, or daydreaming.

Blogs I've been visiting for years:
Mimi Smartypants
Defective Yeti
Daddytypes

Here's a few that I've been enjoying recently:
