Status Quote

My homegirls Emmy Mom and CA Girl started a new monthly Meme called:

Basically you copy your favorite status’ from Facebook and share them with the rest of us. So link up and play! Here’s a few I have enjoyed the past month:

“Victoria's Secret now has Halloween costumes. I hope they have an Iron Man for my son.”
“I think it's ironic that I can't tell the difference between the Mormon ads and the cheesy Folgers commercials until the last 2 seconds of each.” (Us Mormons don’t drink coffee)
“Has it ever occurred to you that maybe I am the sane one? (are you frightened?)”
“My vacuum likes to feel neglected.”
“Life would be so much easier if there was a sarcasm font.”

I also love the whole relationship status because this is where I usually stick my foot right in my mouth. Which is difficult with my computer in my lap but somehow I manage to be successful every time someone changes theirs from ‘married’ to ‘single’ or somewhere in between. Like the time I saw a guy change his from married to single, which left me perplexed so I finally wrote something silly thinking he was being silly. I said, “Does your wife know?” I know, funny, right? I’m hilarious. What I failed to do before I finally said something was to update my home page and see the several comments already there so by the time I had said my bit of cleverness he had already explained that, sadly, him and his wife had divorced. And then I come in looking like a D-O-R-K! He was like, “What do you mean, does she know? I haven’t lived there in months!” AAAWWWKKKWWAAAARRDDDD!

But that didn’t stop me from doing it again, no sir! Another guy switched his from ‘married’ to ‘in an open relationship’. Okay, that has to be a joke, right?? Right?? Please? So here I go again with a “What the??” He proceeded to tell us all that was had gotten divorced in the summer but thought ‘open relationship’ sounded better than divorced……………….because swingers are so much more socially acceptable than the divorced…Yeah…okay..totally..

So one day I will learn to just keep my big mouth mouth shut….maybe…probably not….dammit.

Funny FB incident. I met a woman through blogging a long time ago. When we became FB friends, her relationship status said she was into women. I thought, "Huh, well, good for her!"

We got together for dinner a couple months later, and I mentioned it to her. She had NO idea. Her friend had set up her account. We laughed about that for a while.

Lol! Yeah I have learned that if there is something that seems weird or confuses me I go and search their latest updates to try and find out. And yes divorced would be way way better than "in an open relationship"

Thanks so much for playing along!

The relationship stuff cracks me up, too. It's all so awkward.

This is so great because I just did a whole post on great Jim Gaffigan status updates.

I'm thrilled I am on here. You had a great one today too.

I just saw "Social Network"...what a gift we've been given. What was that you were saying about a "sarcasm font"? You should patent that.
