See Joey there?
I felt pretty much the same way once I realized I wasn't getting out of laundry, despite the great Mayan prediction of 2012.
That is the very last time I count on those Mayans for anything.

Love this column again--sort of like some Christians who come up with the end of the world and then it doesn't happen.
ReplyDeleteTrying to train my Alzhemer's husband to shave with an electric razor I gave him for Christmas before he goes into the next phase of Alzheimer's or before our end comes. Maybe he can grow not only a mustache like your guys pictured here but a beard. Don't think the razor will be safe for him.
The problem with saving for college for the kids is that we don't know if there will be jobs for them in 2020 or after college. Maybe it will be savings so we all can survive in case our government is not there for us.
Oh gosh - good luck with the razor! Although I think a nice little beard may make life a little easier for you? I vote for beard.
DeleteCollege fund/end-the-world fund? Meh. I can't worry about that today. I shall worry about that tomorrow (said in my best Scarlett O'Hara voice). Happy New Year, Carol!
Hot Damn! Replacing those furnace filters really feels like living, no? Oh well...Cheers to mixing in just the right amount of "have to's" and "want to's" until 2020 saves you from renewing your gym membership ;) Happy New Year anyway!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jen! And I won't even tell you what our old furance filters looked like.
DeleteShocking stuff.
I giggled at "easy out." Girl, you bring me joy!
ReplyDeleteThe feeling is mutual, Kyla!
DeleteLOL!! I used to buy the National Enquirer for my mom; her one vice (that and gambling nickels and quarters at Las Vegas when she went a few times a year). I used to get a kick out of reading them when she was done with them. I too believe their predictions are so very accurate!
ReplyDeleteI was actually quite pleased the world didn't end on 12/21. I'll deny it if ever brought up again, but I turned a year older that day so I definitely didn't want it to end before I got my birthday cake :)
I'm glad we truly don't know when the world is going to end; can you imagine the panic and hype about it all if we actually did know for sure?
On another note, have I wished you a Happy New Year yet?
betty
Thank you for the Happy New Year! My grandparents used to get the scandal sheets for my mom, so I've pretty much been reading them since I was 8. The funny thing (don't laugh) is their "investigative pieces" are usually pretty accurate (they make sources take lie detector tests). I sound like a loon, right? But I'm telling you - The Enquirer has the GOODS! Signed, Crazy
DeleteHappy New Year I love my book and you even more than before the 21st!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteNot just because for the well funny, cute, written book but it does sway me some LOL J/K kudos on the success well deserve ","
Thank you & I'm glad you liked the book! Makes me happy. Like Christmas all over again, but without any apocalyptic worries.
Delete(:
Funny, the same thought crossed my mind too... CRAP I actually have to clean the house after all!!!
ReplyDeleteBummer, right?
DeleteLove it...as always. And here's where I say something really cheesy instead of witty (I suck at being witty in comments): I actually went to bed on the 20th 100% sure that the world wouldn't end, but then I found myself thinking "but if it does, I'm ok. I'm happy with my life. I have no regrets." Gag, right? Then on the 22nd I realized that I procrastinate and am disorganized and lazy and get nothing done and REGRETS REGRETS REGRETS. Ha! It's a good thing the world didn't end!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like knowing I have lots of time to fail some more! Happy New Year, Stephanie!!
DeleteIt was kind of annoying that people in time zones ahead of mine declared the apocalypse a no go. I felt cheated.
ReplyDeleteYou too???
DeleteTwo things (1): My mother read The National Enquirer like it was a Bible (2) If you've got Cheez Its in your shelter then I'm bunking with you.
