Adieu, Adieu to Yieu and Yieu and Yieu...

Okay, so I've been dilly-dallying with this last post. For one, I wanted to give all the lurkers a fair chance to be outraged. Also, I figure when I post it I'm done and thus, won't be visiting your blogs anymore either, so I wanted to give myself a few more days.

Here is one more fabulous vintage Sesame Street video for you all. Have a tissue ready. (unless you are NOT a total sap like me, but I've read your blogs and I know most of you are...y'know, in a good way.)



So, farewell. *sniff*
I'll miss you.

So long, farewell...(the Penultimate Post)

Hmmmm.

After much and careful deliberation I had decided to take an indefinite leave of absence from blogging*. For a number of reasons, including the following...
-too little time
-too little to say

This has been fun, and, who knows, the Call of the Blog may be too strong for me to resist. I have enjoyed getting to know you. My list of daily reads was small, but lovely. And thank you very much to my few faithful readers and commenters.

This will be my second last post because there are still a few things that I really want to share with you all.

This is one of them...



I laugh at this EVERY TIME. I don't actually know why I find it so funny, but I do. (and as a bizarre side note, you will be interested to know that one of the muppets in this clip reminds me of Bren J.'s husband. Any guesses on which one?...)

And if you want to have even more fun with it, try this one. Aack! I just went to find it on YouTube, but it IS NOT THERE any more. It was really funny. I guess I might as well tell you - it was the same video reversed. Sorry you have to miss out.

So I will just have to share with you my new favourite joke.

A kindergarten teacher gave her class a show and tell assignment. They were each to bring something that represented their religion. The first student got up and said, "My name is Benjamin. I am Jewish, and this is a Star of David."
The second student stood up and said, "My name is Mary and I am Catholic. This is a Rosary."
The third student got up and said, "My name is Tommy. I am a Mennonite. This is a casserole."

*barring any unseen outpouring of objection by dozens of disgruntled lurkers. although, probably not even for that.

This IS Awesome!

"This is awesome!" Monkey exclaims as he walks down the sidewalk pushing his Fisher Price Bubble Lawn Mower.

"This is awesome?" I question, to verify that I heard correctly.

"My lawn mower is awesome," he replies.

If you say so, not-quite-23-month-old.
