36 Rules of Life

Found this over at Holly’s blog while cleaning up my saved bloglines & just thought I’d share 🙂

The 36  Rules of Life:

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. Don’t worry about what people think, they don’t do it very often.

3. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car.

4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

5. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you’ve never tried before.

6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.

8. A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.

9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.

10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.

11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

12. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.

13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.

14. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.

15. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.

16. A balanced diet is a muffin in each hand.

17. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places.

18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.

19. Junk is something you’ve kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

21. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.

23. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

24. Someone who thinks logically provides nice contrast to the real world.

25. It ain’t the jeans that make your butt look fat.

26. If you had to identify in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved its full potential, that word would be ‘meetings.’

27. There is a very fine line between ‘hobby’ and ‘mental illness.’

28. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with  them.

29. You should not confuse your career with your life.

30. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.

31. Never lick a steak knife.

32. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

33. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylightsavings time.

34. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment

35. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that deep down inside we ALL believe we are good drivers.

36. Your friends love you anyway.

 

Have a great day!

The one where I got a bit red

yup I’m a little sunburnt. fortunately just on the arms. spent the day gardening today. the front yard is starting to look really good. put in two of the new plants we got for Christmas from the in-laws. Removed a tree or two & added a new garden bed for the roses I’ve got in pots. Gotta remember I don’t need to plant everything in pots now – we’re not moving. 🙂

So here’s my pics for today – getting the last of the tree root out

Still no scrapping yet. Might try & do some 2morrow.

Okies off to do something relaxing. might play the sims 2 for a bit & then get an early night.

Happy New Year

Well it’s 2009. Didn’t stay up til midnight (crashed at around 11:30) but was still awake to see in the new year.

Exciting things happening this week with heaps of sales & the grand opening of Roll 2 Create. Hybrid Designs Scrapbooking is undergoing a makeover & I’m looking forward to seeing the new look. Mystical Scrapbooks is back up & running after some nasty Christmas gremlins in the forum & gallery. And the January challenges are slowly going up.

Speaking of challenges, I’m taking part in the Scrapbook Graphics Project 365. I’m gonna try and do the photo a day but I feel it may end up being a photo a week (therefore Project 52)

So here’s my pic for January 1.
