Family Funnies - Best Father's Day Ever

One of the best things about my family is our sense of humor. We have lots of funny stories that we like to tell. I am going to try to occasionally share these. Here is my first one. I hope you enjoy these as much as my family does.

Best Father’s Day Ever
Can you Spare a Square / How Much do you Love Heinz?
On one particular Father’s Day, my family went out to a local restaurant to celebrate. While we were there a few incidents to make it a day to remember. Once our food came, my brother, Josh, wanted some ketchup on his hash browns. He grabbed the nearest bottle of Heinz, and gave the glass bottle a great shake. As luck would have it, the previous customer had neglected to screw the lid on the entire way. The ketchup shot out of the bottle all over the place. All over the plate, table, and of course Josh’s white t-shirt. Some of our family tried not to laugh, but not me. I couldn’t hold it in, I was laughing til I had tears in my eyes.

Then as we were leaving, mom stopped to use the restroom. Nothing unusual about that. In fact, it would be weird if she or I did not have to use the restroom after a meal. As mom got out of the van at home, she had a whole strip of toilet paper hanging down the back of her pants. It had inadvertently been tucked into her jeans. Again we were laughing hysterically, & Dad said it was the best father’s day ever.

Perfect Life?

Is there any such thing as a perfect life? Even if there is, is it worth pursuing?
I know this is a random why to start a blog, but this is my thought for the day.

I want to use this blog to explore some of the following topics:
  • happiness
  • men (boys)
  • career (women in career)
  • faith
  • family
  • books
  • weight
  • anything else inspirational

I have a really strong interest in anything that gets people motivated and I would like to explore any of this. One of my ultimate goals (which I plan to share intermittently throughout) is to help people or motivate them anyway I can. Perhaps eventually I would like to have a career that allows me to work on this full time. In the interim, I would like to motivate people any way I can in the present.

I suspect as I blog more I will learn how to develop a more concrete thought or point to express :)

I the mean time I appreciate your patience and thanks for reading!

Getting Started

I have been talking about this blog for almost 2 months now. It is just time to get started, even if it is not perfect!
