Ode to the Funny

Both of my girls took a nap at the same time today, which I tell you is RARE. So instead of doing something productive, I watched the latest 2 episodes of The Office online that I missed. Can I just say, I really really love this show? I watched it at the gym one time with my headphones on and laughed out loud so much it was embarrassing. But I really couldn't help it. So this blog post is my little tribute to a few things I find funny in life. First, The Office. My favorite lines from today's viewing:

Dwight: "I don't know why Micheal is wasting his time with Spanish. I have it on very good authority that within the next 20 years, everybody will be speaking German... or a Chinese-German hybrid."

Andy: "If it weren't for secretaries.... I wouldn't have a step-mom."

Second thing I've read today that I find funny: The satirical blog "Seriously So Blessed"... Every time I read this blog I am amazed at the intelligence of the author. She picks up on everything. She makes fun of everything. Oh, how I love it! Favorite recent post of hers:

Oh how does she do it? This girl is a comedic genius!

And last of my favorite funny things that I will mention today is the blog cakewrecks.blogspot.com-- Sometimes I forget about this blog. Well okay, I probably look at it about once every month or less. But if it's kind of late at night, I can get laughing so hard over these cakes that Mitch is embarrassed for me. Here is a recent favorite:

I love the typo cakes. Oh, "Sara Flash mom", you poor thing.

I have a very dry sense of humor that I inherited from my dad. I was forever telling my friends, "Oh, he's not serious, he's kidding." Poor Marin and Kate will have to do the same. I do so enjoy laughing out loud. I'm glad there are satirical, sarcastic geniuses out there who can just lift my mood in an instant. You're quick, you're funny, you give me comic relief when I need it most. I salute you!

I am afraid to post. Afraid that I won't clear the high bar of comedy that you've set. However, I must add my favorite comment from the last 2 episodes of 'The Office:" "this is going to traumatize me a lot more than it will you (Dwight applies hand sanitizer), 3 squeezes and I can have you empty........" Perhaps it's because I'm nursing, but I nearly died.

perhaps I should've

if only I actually knew how to center my comment. I also watch the office at the gym and frequently get the giggles so bad that people stare.

P.S. I asked Avree about borrowing the stationary entertainer whilst I am in town. She said to remind her and that it was probably with you. I am coming the end of the month for my sister's wedding and I would dearly love to borrow it for a couple of weeks. Please?

I love all those things you mentioned. When Matt is done with the CPA exam we should have an Office watching marathon.

JaDee and I think the writer of SSB is a guy. or a group of guys. I don't know why, but they have a "guy voice" to them sometimes. Oh and the other show I love is 30 Rock. but I can never remember quotes.

We love the office too! Once I was watching it while at the gym and had to stop the tredmill because I thought i was going to fall off from laughing! And SSB makes my day!

Oh Cara I wish we could watch the Office together! Robbie and I totally laugh so hard when we get to watch it (which isn't often, usually online for a date night or something :) I loved Dwight's line you posted.
And you would have been so impressed at how fast I typed that word verification below :)

This is a seriously funny post, Cara. I think I inherited a dry sense of humor from your dad, too.
