I was bored and was looking up quotes. I ended up running across this a few funny ones:

Whoever said, 'Anything is possible,' obviously never tried slamming a revolving door.

 It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. 

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

A husband was complaining about how women talk so much. His wife replied, "Well that's just because women always have to repeat what they say for the men." The husband replied, "What?"

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot

The road to success is always under construction

Our New Sofa (Settee)

Here's a picture of our new sofa (technically called a settee, whatever that means!). Since we ordered it by a picture, without ever having sat on a sample of one, we had no idea what it would feel like and went on faith that it would be okay comfort-wise speaking. Didn't count on the height being ill-fitting for the vertically-challenged member of the family.

Not sure you can tell from this video, but Katrina can't touch the ground. Actually, I can barely touch the ground, but we think it will settle when it gets worn in a little. As soon as I sat on it the first time, I just laughed, thinking of how it was going to be for Katrina--so before I let her sit down when she came home the first time, I ran for the camera. Poor girl! We love our short one. It fits Camilla just fine, though. (Some people remembered to grow their legs.)

I'm What?

I forgot to post my funny story from last week. I am the chorister for the ward, so I generally don't really look at the program-- since I know what songs they are anyway (I choose them). So I got to church last week and sat down, chatting with my roommates, when Heather leaned over and said, "You're speaking today?"
"I'm...what?"
Never heard from any member of the bishopric about this, and I hadn't even been there in weeks, since I had been on Christmas break, then a farewell, then Seattle. Welcome back, I guess. So before the service started, I went up to the front and brought it up. The one announcing said, "Yeah, you're right, you're not speaking," and corrected it. The bishop just laughed about it, and the other counselor said, "What do you mean you're not? We had you planned for 20 minutes!" I told him I could do a tap number, but I wasn't very prepared for that.
Anyway, I just thought it was funny. "Bishop? I was never informed that I was supposed to speak today..."
