FINALLY!!!

I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so... no, still just excited. (But you thought I was going to say scared like Jesse Spano, didn't you? If you didn't, we're probably not that good of friends.)

I love Harry Potter.

Love.

Love.

Love.

If You Want to Be Funny... Steal From Others

Because I've been struggling to be funny on my blog these days, I decided to take today to share with you two websites that make me laugh really loudly, most of the time in a public place.

1) Damn You Auto Correct

This is exactly what it sounds like. Auto correct fails on people's iphones. This is hilarious because it happens to me ALL THE TIME. Luckily, I'm pretty good at checking my texts/emails before I send them so I normally manage to catch it. But it's bound to be really bad someday.

Here are some of my favorites:

Yeah, that's funny. Do ducks have jackets?

2) Stuff Christians Like

If you have ever been involved with a Christian church, youth group, or summer camp of any kind, this website is hilarious. And I love it. Because in one of the more serious posts, writer Jon Acuff said, "Maybe the entire point of this site is to show you that not every Christian is a humorless, tankini wearing, boycott loving, close minded jerk..." Yep, that's pretty much the goal of my whole life, so I'm down with Jon Acuff.

Today's post is a list of the top 10 posts ever. I love them all. But my top 10 list would have to include this one, this one, and this one as well. (Seriously, click on those.)

You're welcome for the laughs.

The Joys of Working in Non-Profit

OK, you know how sometimes you see people you went to school with on facebook and they're like in pharmeceutical sales or something that sounds equally boring? And they own houses? Or really cool condos? And drive really nice cars and wear fancy clothes and live in big cities and go on exotic vacations?

And then you look around your office (which contains a stuffed zebra head) at the non-profit you work at and it's not so glamorous? And even though you're entering a season where you'll be working a whole lot of 60 hour work weeks, you check your bank account and realize that, once again, you're going to need to not buy any food or gas or anything for the last 10 days of the month? And you get an email alerting you that you can view your pension balance online and you realize that even though you've been putting money in it for 2 years you only have about $700?

Oh, and then you remember your student loans?

So even though you're super content with your life and you love your job and your friends and where you live, you question your life choices a little? And then you get mad at yourself for questioning your life choices at all because you actually love your life unlike the miserable bastards stuck in the rat race of corporate America? And you wonder why it makes any sense that society would value pharmaceutical sales over kids?

Has that ever happened to you?

Yeah, me neither...

Change of Heart

I know that I spend the majority of my time whining about the snow that never ends all winter (and spring and fall) in Northern Arizona.

That's because it sucks.

But when it stops snowing and it all melts, NorAZ is really crazy beautiful. The past week, it's been sunny. I mean, really sunny. And warm. And I've had my windows open in my office.

It is a beautiful thing.

Our Dairy Queen opened up yesterday. So now we can get mini blizzards. And our coffee shop is opening up on Thursday. So now I don't have to cry when I have an afternoon free and want to spend it in a coffee shop.

It's wonderful.

We won't talk about the fact that it might snow on Saturday. I'm just going to live in ignorant bliss. Warm ignorant bliss.
