my sister is jack handey

On Romance:

My instant messenger just popped up with a note that says ‘Add Me’. I don’t know what it means. But it sounds dirty.

So he says “But you’ve (bungee) jumped with me before” and I say “Yeah, but I’m married to you now. I don’t have to do stupid things to impress you anymore.”

I use to have one of Jon Bon Jovi’s videos Tivoed. Watched it every morning. Then the husband got ticked off and said I was just using it to get in the mood – so I had to delete it.

On Pregnancy:

I know you’re dreading the whole birthing-process. Labor and all that. But don’t . Honestly. By the time you carry a baby for nine months, you’ll be begging them to take it out.

Pregnancy’s a funny thing. With your first everything is so new and exciting. The anticipation of what ‘might be’ is just…incredible. With the second, you already know. So it’s all ‘I’ve created a life. I’m a creator’. By the third one you’re just like…I get it already! Can we please have the baby now.

On Family:

Our brother use to read romance novels. That’s a rumor I’m thinking about starting.

She was convinced he’d never leave her. Seriously. Why else would she introduce him to the family.

On Intellect:

Eating fish and reading big-worded books should help. That and Zoloft.

I’m not saying he’s stupid. But he looks like he might be.

On Fitness:

Yeah. Whatever. I can’t run. I’ve had three kids. My bladder will fall out.

So some people think I’m fit because I wear a size 2. What some people don’t know…is that I’m a midget!

On Me:

She has this uncanny ability to brainwash her little sister. Honestly. She’s just like you.

Sometimes I listen to the voice mails you leave – and they’re so long – I start to answer you back.

  5. Hi Buffy,

    I´m glad you liked Johnny Cash and in special, that song. It´s really impressive song!

    Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog.

    I came over just to say hi and check you out. I started reading you and thought, this woman is nuts. Then I read a little more and saw the cleverness in your writing. Now, I think I am hooked. I don’t understand all of what you say and sometimes your posts are way over my head but there is something in them that make me want to know you more. I am so adding you to my reading list.

    Oh, and the fact that Elizabeth I is one of your favorite historical figures…well, that just makes me like you even more. She was the most amazing woman (along with her Mother). I could go on and on about her.

    I can’t wait to come back.

    I just spent about an hour going thru your archives and holy shit, you are an amazing writer. I don’t know if all these stories are true or if they’re stuff you’re working on, but either way, they’re fantastic. I hope it’s ok that I’ve added you to my blog roll.

    LOL on this one… my favorite :)

    I’m not saying he’s stupid. But he looks like he might be.

    I should start saying that more often!!! Kudos to your sister!

    Humor and a skilled pen run in the family, huh? Amen to all you said in your comment!!

  11. mojo shivers says:

    I like the Jack Handey reference. If you’re going to pay homage to something, it might as well be one of the classics.

  12. Golf Widow says:

    I think you might be a little bit mad, but I mean that as a compliment and I hope you’ll sit by me.

  13. justrun says:

    Nice post.

    I never thought to keep a Bon Jovi video on hand like that. Wow.

  14. for me, a Tenacious D video would work. ;)

  15. Buffy says:

    I know what you mean Dawn.

    There’s just something about that Kyle.

    :)

  16. Angie says:
