TTA- What makes you laugh?

http://tuesdaytellall.blogspot.com/2008/04/topic-for-tuesday-april-22-laughing-out.html

I haven't participated in the TTA for a few weeks but thought today would be a good day to do so.

There are a lot of things that make me laugh...Sometimes so hard I pee my pants! In fact, just the other day I was cleaning up the kitchen and had to run some stuff out to the garbage. I had to pee really bad but wanted to finish up first. So I went outside and Brother and Sister Bear followed me. When we got outside there was this cute little dog who wanted to play. We tried to shoo him away, but the more we shooed, the wilder he got. So we tried to run inside, but he got to the door first. Papa Bear had Baby Bear in his arms and was trying to block this little dog from getting inside, Brother, Sister, and Baby were laughing and screaming, and this little dog was going crazy... I was laughing so hard... Well it just happened!

Here are a few more things that make me laugh....
**Sissy and all of the funny things she says.
**Baby Bear laughing--there is nothing funnier than a baby laughing.
**My sister LoLo--we can laugh at nothing--and it's funnier when someone snorts.
**Brother Bear's knock-knock jokes! HA!

I love to laugh...
Laughter truly is the best medicine!

TTA - Working Girl

Topic for Tuesday, March 25th- The Working Girl
This week tell us about your favorite or least favorite job that you've had OUTSIDE of the home (we know the hardest job is being a Mom). Or just take a minute to document the jobs you've had.

My first job was at Ab's Drive Inn, a local hamburger joint. I loved it, except for smelling like fry grease all the time.

Shopko came next. Probably my least favorite job. Who likes working customer service?

I also worked in customer service at Toys-R-Us. But hey, it's Toys-R-Us! This is where I was working when I met Papa Bear. He used to come visit me every night and bring me Wendy's Chicken Nuggets. I bet I couldn't even convince him to call me on the phone now! It's amazing what 7 years of marriage can do to a relationship (joking!)

I have worked in a few doctor's offices as an accounts manager, and now I work at the Health Department in accounting. I love the challenge of my job, most of the time, but hate the grey hair it is tending to give me! I am looking forward to getting my bachelor's degree ( hopefully in December) and seeing what the future holds in store.

I can't say that I have truly loved any of my job's... but they have paid the bills and allowed our family to do lots of fun things. So, I guess I don't mind being a working girl.

TTA- Collections

I am a collector! I have been collecting thimbles since I was one month old. Santa put my first one in my stocking - and another one each Christmas until I married. I have all kinds. I try to get one from every vacation I take. I even have friends and family who pick thimbles up for me from various locations. I also collect glass figurines that are from my Great Grandma B, and Madame Alexander Dolls from GmaE. One day these will be passed on to my girls.



Sister Bear also collects thimbles, as Santa has carried the tradition on for her. She has a baby girl thimble, a Raggedy Anne thimble, a Pooh Bear thimble, a Cinderella thimble, as well as thimbles from Sea World, Glacier National Park, and Yellowstone. Sissy also likes to collect rocks. Uncle Darryl gave her some coal, some little blue rocks, and some other shiny quartz type rocks. She also has a heart shape rock.



Brother Bear tries to collect pocket knives from vacations, but we can't always find them. He also has a collection of baseballs, decorative and foul balls.
