I don't know WHY this happens, but it happens to both ML and me - almost every morning, we ask each other what song is in the other's head and nearly every morning, there's a new song - I first hear it when I get in the shower and this morning I was blessed with this little gem.

Sad News
This just in. I'm not funny!!! I feel like I'm kind of funny when I'm talking to people, but when I'm writing? Notsomuch!
I read all of these funny blogs every day and every day it's like a slap in the face telling me "YOU AREN'T FUNNY!"
For example: I went to dinner with a few cousins, grandpa, ML, an uncle, grandpa's wife (who is younger than grandpa's daughter), and MV (dad). How it came up, I don't know, but someone brought up how funny it is to hear people speak Minnesotan. So I piped up! I speak that! I decided to show off my talent and got TONS of laughs!! Dad even threw out a rare compliment saying "Isn't that great?! She's SO good at it!!" - I have to admit - he's right - I really AM SO good at it!! Sadly, however, this one talent doesn't really translate into writing. Is this my only talent??
I wracked my brain trying to think of any other talents I may have. Nada - I can't even speak the language I took for 14 years! (another non talent just popped into my head - ability to do math without using my fingers - I had to figure out how many years I took French using my fingers) Due to my ability of speaking French holding steady at at 3 year old's level, I am unable to help sister with one teeny favor she asked..http://cjconney.blogspot.com/2009/03/people-send-darndest-things.html...sorry sissy
I asked ML if he could think of any talents that I have and of course, being a BOY, he came up with plenty of talents I can't share with you yet - our relationship is just too new.
In closing, I'm hoping that one of these days inspiration will hit and I'll feel brave enough to let someone other than sissy see my blog.

AIG can suck it!
Who would have ever thought so much thought needed to go into a blog!? The name of the blog, the availability of the URL, and on top of everything, what should the topic of the first blog be?! When I decided to start writing, I had no clue what to write... then I thought of so many different topics.
I have no idea what direction this will head, but hopefully it will eventually be interesting to people other than myself, ML (what I will be referring to my hubby as going forward), and LS (little sister) who is forced to think this is interesting!
Have you ever wanted to say FUCK YOU! to a customer service person? We have an insurance policy with AIG (yes - the same AIG where all the jerkoffs who are getting giant bonuses while I sit working almost paycheck to paycheck are) and I had to call today because the invoice they sent me had a dollar amount on there that was unusual and of course, nothing was itemized to tell me how they came to this random number. The total idiot on the phone would tell me dollar amounts, I'd write them down, wait until he was done talking and say "that doesn't make sense - that doesn't add up to the invoice amount" and idiot would say "you didn't let me finish" soooo.... we went through this EXACT circle about 4 times and I finally asked if I could talk to someone else becuase we weren't "getting along" and do you know what he said?! He said no! He said I wasn't LETTING HIM FINISH! WTF?!?!?
I don't know why I didn't say this but I should have told him that this shady invoice procedure is one of the reasons AIG SUCKS BALLS and hopefully he'd lose his job as fuckface extraordinaire and get a job where he could be normal.
