Funny Facebook Quotes VI

Looking for Friday’s Funny Facebook Quotes? Here they are! Looking for Funny Facebook Quotes is the best part of my week for a couple of reasons. Number one, I get to read all kinds of funny stories to brighten my day. Number two, I get to spend a lot of time on Facebook and  I can actually call it work. It does take work to read through status updates and put them all together to try to find the funniest of them all. The bonus is that I get to keep up with all my Facebook friends. Hope that these quotes put a smile on your face for the weekend.

  • Need a good laugh???? I just pulled off the classic “fall on your butt” stunt in the parking lot in front of everyone that just got out of the movie. Haven’t moved that fast in a long time!
  • You did WHAT with WHO for HOW many cookies??
  • is growing tired of the boring friends in his life who don’t want to do anything outside of their own home. My boredom is starting to tear away at my sanity. I even pondered starting a cult today where I made my followers use Toddism’s as their scripture and swear revenge on anyone who cannot sing the theme song of Golden Girls or Fraggle Rock. Anything to provide some excitement to life.
  • Aaaaand, an entire stick of real butter goes into the kitchen trash. Bad kitty! Baaaaad kitty!
  • really ishes his “” key orked ell. Makes me feel like a ashington hite House intern in 2000.
  • I have now slept through 3 alarms the past two mornings – one of them is a nasty and loud rooster crow. What the heck?
  • okay, how in the world do I remove photos of me that are not photos of me? I feel so blonde.
  • Hummm…I saw a person driving and reading at the same time. I wanted to ram her with my truck!
  • I’m a start charging people whose PCs I trouble shoot in their homes extra if they have bad BO. I have killer headache now.
  • Thankful for mornings like today when I can thank the heavens they all aren’t like this one. LOL.

Utah Bull Elk Pictures

Local wildlife photographer (also my brother-in-law) Kreig Rasmussen, was able to catch these awesome pictures of a 7 point bull elk measuring around 425.Wow! Aren’t these great? They were taken only three days ago somewhere in Central Utah.
Being from the city, I am amazed with the size and beauty of elk. I love driving in the mountains just to hopefully see them.
Kreig has taken many beautiful wildlife pictures. He has graciously allowed me to share these with my readers.Kreig’s artwork can also be purchased. He is selling these photos on a wrapped 14″ x 19″ canvas for $125.00. Thanks Kreig for sharing your talent. I am lucky to be related to the artist.

If you are interested in purchasing any of these photos, we are taking orders. Kreig’s artwork can be seen at many Utah art shows, but if you want these fresh pictures, get them now.

A Winter’s Day

A beautiful winter day at the lake. Even though the lake is frozen and the air is cold, it is still a great day for taking pictures! So get in your car and go take some pictures of the scenery around you.

Funny Facebook Quotes V

Is it that my friends are just getting funnier or are they just putting more thought into some very clever sayings hoping to make it on the weekly “Funny Facebook Quotes” list? I don’t know for sure but this week I thought was extra special with burning flesh, HDADD and urinating. Sounds like a doctor’s office waiting room to me. Are you all right out there? Did you get those problems taken care of? I sure hope so because I would hate for anything to happen to my Facebook friends. Aside from all of those ailments everyone else seems to be doing fine, just having one of those days. Enjoy these status updates. If you would like to submit a quote to have posted in this column, please feel free to send it my way. Send it to: getinandgo at gmail dot com. You get it, right? Use the @ and the . Thanks.

  • I bought more space on Gmail. Need space to fit the 97,000+ emails in my inbox. Maybe some decade, I’ll learn to hit delete.

Comments:

1 -Yeah, I would say start that process now…

2 – Wow, and I thought I was bad with 6,500 e-mails in my Yahoo inbox!

  • So sorry to one of you dear Facebook friends. My son just peed on your Christmas card. Because my other son had put it in the toilet. It happens.
  • Had no idea hot nacho cheese could burn off FLESH….Yep, that’s right ppl. Burns off flesh!!! – So BEWARE of this feisty little snack food, because if you spill it on yourself it’s like liquid napalm…..only tastier and higher in sodium ;o)

Comments:

1 – How does that combine with melted flesh?

2 – Wow!!! I would suggest not pouring the boiling cheese on yourself, just a suggestion

3 – Just saltier, I’m sure

  • Does anyone know how to block gifts like Farmville, mafia wars, and all that other stuff? My wall gets about 20 of them a day, keeping my friends and family from reading things I write because it’s cluttered with stuff like that. Thanks!
  • Wish I had the power to control time! It would be Fridays and Saturdays everyday!
  • Has found her voice (kinda). I still sound like I have been sucking too much helium. I know a lot of people have been enjoying the “peace and quiet” since I have lost my voice. Damn you people. I am funny and should be heard.
  • Why is it that EVERYTIME I go to get gas I have a Crazy Wild adventure! This time I found a blue heeler sittin in my car when I got done!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhh….
  • OK….The fudge, toffee, and caramels are gone!!!! I will not make anymore, I will not make anymore, I will not make anymore……..
  • Has HDADD (high definition attention deficit disorder). It’s hard to pay attention, but when it happens, it’s unbelievable.
  • Just got a super huge slobbery kiss from my baby sister… yummmm
  • #1 Rule Don’t ever leave a sharpie in eye sight of a two year old, even if you think they will not be able to reach it, because eventually they will and there will always be the result of a permanent mess!

Music Review – Family of The Year: Songbook

I am always on the road traveling from one place to another. Seeing the sights, visiting the family. On my drives, I have to have my music. I am always looking for something new and fun. Well, I found it. The group, Family of the Year has a new full length CD titled Songbook.

I had never heard of Family of the Year before so I was a little apprehensive about what I would find when I popped this CD into my car’s player. Immediately I was overtaken by the Beatles sounding, toe-tapping, move in my seat beat of the number one track titled “Feel Good Track of Rosemead.” I knew this was going to be one good road trip.

The next track titled “Let’s Be Honest” left me reminiscent of growing up and falling in love. Sure those were the good ole’ days. Back when we were young kids with a dream that everything was going to be awesome in our lives. I loved the vocals by Joe Keefe and Vanessa Long. Their voices blend into a magnificent sound.

I just fell in love with the CD by this point when the song “Treehouse” came on next. This one brought back some memories. We had a tree house in our neighborhood and my friends and I loved climbing up the tree and spying on the other kids. “Leaves in my hair, sap in my shoes, laughing and swinging when you come around”… Fun times for sure!

By now, only three songs into this CD my road trip has been a blast. I am dancing along with the music and trying to memorize the lyrics. The folk rock tone of Family of the Year’s sound really has me captivated.

Similar to the sound of the Beach Boys, the “Summer Girl” track is probably one of my favorite songs. It reminds me of the beach, one of my favorite places to go, especially with someone I love.

I can really relate to the song “Intervention (Stable Jeans).” It is a love song for something I hold very dear. I can see myself singing this song to… my favorite pair of blue jeans which finally had to be put to rest after years of wear. Holes in the knees, tears in the pockets, worn at the hemline. You were good to me old blue jeans. I miss you. I am thankful for this ode to the blue jeans to remind me of our good times.

I am almost to my destination. The road has been good to me today. And time goes by so quickly when you are having fun listening to great tunes. My new anthem for life from the album is “Let’s Go Down.” How often have I said to my family, “Let’s go down to the river, let’s go to the lake, let’s burn a fire, and give this scene a break.” Any opportunity to get out of the city renews my strength.

Family of the Year has influences from all genres of music. They have been cited as being reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac, the Beatles, and the Beach Boys. This indie-folk rock band surely has something the whole family can enjoy. Whether at home or on the road. The group is distributing their own music on their website. I am hopping on their band wagon looking forward to what’s coming next. I loved this CD and I look forward to many more tunes for the road in the future.

Get in and Go… On a Favorite Journey!

Where is your favorite journey? I have several! My husband and I have been married for nearly 4 years now. Wow, how time flies! We have had many adventures together either just the two of us or with many of our children. We certainly hope to have many more fun adventures in the future. As I reminisce about the places we have been, I know that those trips would not have been the same without him. A trip to Florida or Mexico or just across town is always more fun when you are with someone you love, someone who makes every journey memorable.

One day as I was looking around a local craft store I found the sweetest saying. It said “You are my favorite journey… I love where you take me.” That explained my relationship with Kirk perfectly. No matter where we are, I am so happy that he is by my side. So I took that saying, had it “vinylized” (is that a word?) and put it up on the wall. Now every day he can read right there on the wall how I feel about him!

I loved the saying so much I even created a picture with one of the most beautiful places we had traveled and had it beautifully framed. My friends and family loved them as well when they opened their gifts for Christmas.

You now have a chance to win one of these framed pictures to let your sweetheart know how much they mean to you. Here are the rules:

  • Simply leave a comment here about one of your favorite vacations.
  • For an additional entry follow GetinandGo on Twitter AND

Funny Quotes from Facebook IV

I could hardly wait for Friday to roll around this week. I have had so many people say so many funny things on my Facebook pages. I love that my sister is trying really hard to get her quotes posted. She has been funny since the day I met her back when the parents brought her home from the hospital. Ok, it took her a few years to get really funny but she has kept me laughing for many years. A new list of Friday’s Funny Quotes from Facebook is here. Enjoy!

  • found a simple way to get the check engine light to go off in your car. First get your car really dirty, let it stay dirty for a long time. Then go wash your car, vacuum it out and fill it up with gas (you know, treat it like a “lobster date”). Viola! Check engine light goes off.

 

  • wondering if it is odd that I am talking to my little girl’s prized stuffed animal as it came out of the washer. “Are you okay, doggie?” First time washing her favorite stuffed animal, just a little worried. =)

 

  • thinking of something funny to say so I can make it onto my sister’s blog about funny updates . . . I guess the funny in me doesn’t perform when it thinks too hard of something funny to say.

 

  • our neighbors are getting along today; I know this the same way I know when they aren’t getting along…..our walls are too thin!!! Not cool.

 

  • It was a really bad day today :( but now my hair is so cute and somehow that seems to make it okay :)

 

  • 2 minutes is how much time it took from walking in the door until I had my replacement Costco card in hand. The Drivers License Division could take a few pointers from Costco.

 

  • Just loves creepy stalker like friends. You know who you are. :) Jk

 

  • if there are organ, blood and plasma donors…I am just wondering why there isn’t any cellulite donors because I’m sure there is some skinny minny out there that could use some of mine to make her healthy, right? lmao! I really need to shed some lbs!

 

  • My five year old had a dream last night that her dad and I had purple robes on and we had two horns coming out of our heads….. Guess I won’t be reading her Where The Wild Things Are before bed anymore!

 

  • My 5 year old wants to squeeze our oranges and ‘make lemonade’… I told him it’d make orange juice and he told me I ‘am silly.’

 

  • So excited….today was one of the most exciting days of my life so far…. we finally got to turn in our geography books and now the class is over! YAY!

 

  • I just went out a measured the icicle forming on the eave of my house. It is now 5 feet 7 inches long. I should knock it down, but it’s become some sort of weird fascination for me.

 

Post a comment to this post to win a beautiful “getinandgo” picture.
