Several different roads brought Steph, Cindy, and Jen and I together. Was it sheer luck? Was it destiny? Or was it all in Kenny's pendulum? Hey whatever it was we are all here and we have this deep connection. For me I believe it happened by me stumbling aimlessly through life but hey...."Whatever" :)
I think it is time to try to put some smiles on Kenny and Jen's faces. Anyone know a cute joke? Want to share a story? Go to the comments field! Be brave it is not like it is a stand up comedy act! :)
Here is the story how I first met Jen. I was not on the team yet but was on a project with Stephanie. We were preparing for some training. She suggested I send my presentation to Jen for edit. She mentioned Jen was extremely brilliant in this area. So happily I sent it. Jen added edits. (all in red) EEK! It was funny as toward the end the edits were less...Let's face it Jen I was just wearing you out! Of course I was taken back a bit :) but Iquickly got over it and because of the edits in the presentation it was "Pristine". And our friendship was cemented.
The 4 of us are like pieces of a puzzle and by chance or, whatever, we are one great picture of women who can listen, talk, and especially laugh.
OK..one joke for you Kenny!!!!....I got it from my Mom yesterday who will be 85 in July.
"Can you name two days in the week that start with the letter "T"." (My mom was trying to hide her smile while telling this.....)
To find the answer :) Click on comments!
PS - Gosh...I hope Jen doesn't edit my blog entry :) HEE HEE!
Today and Tomorrow! :) - Add your funny story or a joke :) Smiling will help us all!
ReplyDeleteConnie, You totally crack me up. I love your stories. I don't even remember that "first edit" (they all run together in my mind, ha!). Thank you for brightening my day. I can't wait for Kenny to read this!
ReplyDeleteHere's my latest favorite joke (a la Colbert): Q: How can you make a long story short? A: Give Joe Biden a sedative.
ReplyDeleteAw shucks, it's not "Tuesday" and "Thursday"? I'm outwitted again! I'm also losing at online FB scrabble. Therefore, *that's* my joke!!

Who are you playing FB scrabble with, Mom? Maybe you need to brush up on those Q words. :)
ReplyDeleteJen,
ReplyDeleteI'm playing scrabble with Adam and my friend Alice. I'm good with Q words so long as I either get a U or one is conveniently located on the board. I have trouble thinking of five letter words, though; my mind seems to work in four letter terms. MoM xoxox
No jokes, but a belated Happy Father's Day to Kenny. I love reading the jokes that other people send, though. Love,
ReplyDeleteMarie
ok...A late Father's day joke for Kenny :)

Top Ten Things You'll Never Hear a Dad Say
10. Well, how 'bout that?... I'm lost! Looks like we'll have to stop and ask for directions.
9. You know Pumpkin, now that you're thirteen, you'll be ready for unchaperoned car dates. Won't that be fun?
8. I noticed that all your friends have a certain "up yours" attitude ... I like that.
7. Here's a credit card and the keys to my new car -- GO CRAZY.
6. What do you mean you wanna play football? Figure skating not good enough for you, son?
5. Your Mother and I are going away for the weekend ... you might want to consider throwing a party.
4. Well, I don't know what's wrong with your car. Probably one of those doo-hickey thingies -- you know -- that makes it run or something. Just have it towed to a mechanic and pay whatever he asks.
3. No son of mine is going to live under this roof without an earring -- now quit your belly-aching, and let's go to the mall.
2. Whaddya wanna go and get a job for? I make plenty of money for you to spend.
1. Father's Day? aahh -- don't worry about that -- it's no big deal.
I'm late to the party, but these are GREAT! Steph
