Stupid Blogger Tricks

Ya know, there's nothing as great as starting the day, with a big 20oz.
freshly brewed cup of coffee. Ahhhhhhh! Sometimes the only reason I
have any incentive at all to get up in the morning is the thought of
taking that first sip of hot brown goodness. Ahhhhh.

Well, this morning as I sat down at my computer with my very full, very
aromatic cup of coffee, I realized that one of the kids had been messing
around with my office chair. It was way too high. Not thinking, with
giant mug in hand, I pushed on the little pressure level thingy to lower
the chair, and guess what happened? Yep... a stupid blogger trick. This
blogger learned that coffee and mug and chair lower at the same rate, but
the coffee splashes all over. Who woulda thunk it? LOL... sometimes I
amaze even myself at my lack of foresight, although I could probably use
this as a great gravity / physics lesson for the kids.

Now I have a proud emblem of my own mental lapse on my white shirt. I am
still laughing about it.

My son Jon, who was working on conquering ancient China at the computer
next to mine, thought it was pretty funny, too. I think he's amazed at
what amuses his mom sometimes. What do I find funny? Newspaper comic
strips (specifically "Zits" and "Fox Trot"), Napoleon Dynamite, Vonage
commercials "People do stupid things.", the Starburst commercial where
the one teen is going to use a wrist rocket to shoot the candy into the
mouth of his buddy, and more. Why do I even think about these things?

"A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the
bones." Proverbs 17:22

God knew we'd need to be laughing about life, and today I'm laughing at
myself. Thank You, Lord, for the ability to see humor in my own stupid
actions.
