I DO have a sense of humor!!

Maybe I should explain why my blog seems so serious most of the time. I like reading the scriptures and I really enjoy spiritual thoughts and feelings. I also happen to have only one teenage daughter and I don't work. So I have often had the luxury of being able to sit and read and contemplate the scriptures or books or whatever. I fully realize what a huge blessing this is and I am also totally aware that 99% of the sisters don't have that luxury. (By the way, that time has been cut down drastically by being called as RS President... guess even God thought it was a bit excessive!!) I would have all these thoughts about what I had found interesting (or even confusing!) in what I read and I wanted to share my thoughts with another human. Unfortunately, my husband and daughter are not very interested in discussing scriptures in detail and get kinda tired of listening to me. Needless to say, I thought blogging was an absolute God-send! On here I can say whatever I want (and actually have the time to compose my thoughts in a clear way) and, miracle of miracles... other people would read and respond!!! I have loved hearing everyone's points of view and comments, and I love reading other peoples' blogs too. But... apparently all of this spiritual stuff makes it seem like I don't have much of a sense of humor. On the contrary... I find many things funny- I often even laugh at inappropriate stuff just because it's too funny not to! So I thought I'd dig up a few things to make everyone laugh and show that I: a) have a sense of humor and b) sometimes have a twisted sense of humor!!

Top Ten Ways to Tell if Martha Stewart is Stalking Your Dog:
10. There's potpourri hanging from your pooch's collar.

8. The dog toys are all stored in McCoy crocks.
7. The pooper scooper has been decorated with raffia bows.
6. That telltale lemon slice in the new silver water bowl.
5. You find liver and whole wheat dog treats stamped out with copper cookie cutters and decorated with royal icing using a #2 rosette tip.
4. Dog hair has been collected and put into wire baskets for nesting material for the birds.
3. A seasonally appropriate grapevine wreath adorns the front of the doghouse.
2. Your dog goes outside naked and comes in wearing an apricot colored virgin wool hand-knitted sweater with matching boots.
AND THE NUMBER ONE WAY YOU KNOW THAT MARTHA STEWART IS STALKING YOUR DOG IS...

A Great Way To Clean The Kitty
1. Thoroughly clean the toilet
2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water and have both lids lifted.
3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him to the bathroom.
4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close the lid.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power wash and rinse" which I have found to be quite effective.
6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can and quickly lift both lids.
8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet and run outside, where he will dry himself.
Sincerely,
The Dog
