Things that amuse me

This is my opinion on things...you don't have to like them or even accept them...but they're MINE and this is MY blog...just clarifying this for anyone who doesn't like it! :)




#1 
My parents talk to our dog Eddie like he's going to answer them back. Instead he tilts his head to the side and looks at them funny. 


#2
Before judgement starts, I love reality TV. I can't tell you how excited I am that we have the E! channel now! Kendra, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, E! News. But I've always loved shows like:The Bachelor, MTV Shows, The Biggest Loser, and Big Brother you know, those shows!  


Right now, the best line I heard on The Bachelor is:
"I quit my job, I spent a fortune on new clothes and gowns! I just can't wait for him to see me for who I really am!" 
Um-what?! Does that even make sense here folks?!

So I read in a magazine in the grocery store today that  Jake Gyllenhaal broke up with Tayor Swift and now she's falling apart. 


Sigh. Okay. 
3a: Jake, have you not learned? This chick is going to write a bad song about you, and you say your broke up with her cause you don't like the publicity? How about a song that's going to be around FOREVER?!?!
3b:Tay-Tay-That's what you get for playin with the big boys!!! Find someone who's your age gyal! :) That's all! Now, get in the studio and write a song bout this! Make your monies yo!

Back to Reality TV. One day I caught my dad watching Teen Mom. No. Not like flipping through the channels, like seriously concerned with what was happening on this show. Like he was troubled with these teens having babies.

My rendition of "The Christmas Song" is probably the best version you will EVER hear! Only a select few have had the privilege.

Starbucks vs. Timmys

Thought this would be interesting.....
I tried to google the closest Starbucks to me, here is what I found.

Then I googled Tim Hortons. Big difference!



Conversations with Friends....

I hope everyone has friends like I do. 
My girlfriends are great. There really isn't anyone else I'd rather stay up late talking to, go on road trips, laugh until your stomach hurts with. 


Here is a sample of conversations we have had with each other.


Boxing day (day after Christmas which is like Black Friday in the U.S. ) my girls and I went shopping at Shoppers Drug Mart. For my American friends its the equivalent to Walgreens. 
Arlene saw a picture of Mariah Carey which led to this conversation:


Arlene: "Guy! What's up with Mariah Carey. Why she so fat?!?"
The girls: "It's cause she's pregnant guy!"
Arlene: "Oh. I mean. Well. Um.




At the cottage Anna, Kalesha and I were taking a walk. It was wet and muddy.
Me: "Have you ever wanted to squish your hands in mud?"
Anna/Kals: "What?! Ew no!"
Me: "Yeah. Me either.



We went shopping in Buffalo for Family Day. As we were sitting in the food court, Anna was looking for something in her purse.


Lisa: "Anna. You need money? I HAVE LOTS!
Us: "WHAT?!"
Lisa: (realizes people have stopped to look at her) "I mean, I have lots of coins. Dollar bills!" (clutches her purse)









More to come as the days go on....

My mom is funnier than your mom!

My mom is the best. No seriously, she's the best. She has a way of not only making you feel special, but she makes me laugh all the time. If you've never met her then I think you're missing out!
Here are just a few day to day conversations she and I have had over the last couple of months that I think I should share.....FYI: My mom calls me Camitshka..... 




convo #1


This conversation happened one afternoon when we both were getting on each other's nerves. 
me: "mom. you left your pill over there on the table"
mom: "you want it?"
me: "what is it?"
mom: "it's a chill pill"




convo #2


My mom lived in England for a long time before she was married. Every now and then her British accent comes out. When she's mad, talks to someone else who has a British accent or when she's telling a story that she's passionate about. 


My moms likes to tell me stories about conversations shes had with other people. So over lunch one day she was telling me a serious story and her "british" accent came. 
So I stopped her and said: "Ma. did you say that to him with that accent too?"
To which she replied: "I can't help it Camitshka!"



Convo #3



 I had  gone downstairs to get something and my mom was just sitting on the couch starring at her feet so I said:
 "Ma. whatcha doing? ma. ma. whatcha doing?
She then looks up at me and says: "I'm actually up on a ladder painting! what does it look like im doing?!" 
Me: I don't know ma thats why I asked!"




Convo #4



My mom and I were outside one day in the fall and she was picking pears while our dog Eddie was eating grass, (he usually throws up after he eats grass). So I started to throw the picked pears at him to stop. 
My mom then turns to me to say: "Camitshka, not these ones, throw the ones on the ground!"


Convo #5 

My mom called my cell from the house phone to ask me to go outside and get the trash can that she had "watched roll down the driveway" across the street. so I went downstairs, threw on my shoes, coat and went outside. It turns out our trash can was sitting right there on the side of the house. 
I went back into the house and said: "Ma! you wanted me to steal someone elses trash can that you "watched rolled down our drive way"
Her reply was:  
"Camitshka, i saw it roll!" 
I said: "Ma! ours is right here!!!" 
To which she replied dryly: "Camitshka okay okay....oh. When you go back upstairs, theres a little bottle of chill pills by my bed. take a few"

This was just a typical friday.


Convo #6 

When my mom and I get into it. Her favourite line is this:
"Been there. Done that. Bought the t-shirt. Doesn't fit!"

Hope at least one of those made you smile or laugh!! 


Welcome to My World!

Hey!


I've been told a few times that I should write down some of my ideas, thoughts and family/friend stories. So here we go. Nothing life changing or inspirational, but hope you enjoy this ride I'm on called life, and if you find yourself laughing at any story, then I have done my job! 


Cheers!!
