Damn You Auto Correct

I was warned. I didn’t heed advice. It wasn’t the first time and it certainly won’t be the last.

Call it my wiring. If my curiosity peaks, there’s almost no way of stopping me. There’s this pull inside of me that just needs to know, needs to explore, and needs to get to the bottom of it especially if someone says, “Maybe you shouldn’t.”

I’m being pretty dramatic here but it really is true.

At the wedding this last weekend in California, I was talking to this kid at the reception. I’m calling him a kid because to me he was; yet he was actually 28 years old. I guess not technically a kid but a kid to me.

Anyway, we were talking about a whole bunch of kid like things…I’m really just razzing him here…we were having a serious discussion about the meaning of life and experience. No we weren’t either!

We were talking about texting for no other reason then I received one, while standing next to him at the wine bar, that got jumbled up and I started to laugh out loud apparently. He asked what was so funny. So I showed him the text which, in turn, caused him to join me in what became more of a fit of laughter over something really stupid.

Alex told me about this website, “Damn You Autocorrect”. I’d never heard of it before which is not unusual. I’m not always on top of my game when it comes to professional web surfing. Kids are for this educational purpose, for me at least, and I learned this from the kid ;-) at the wedding.

I’d forgotten about it until last night when I got an email asking did I remember the website and have I looked at it yet and did it make me laugh?

(Of course I do), (No, I hadn’t), (Oh My Goodness, YES)

I was laughing to the point of tears, so hard that my daughter walked into the room and said, “MOM, what is so funny? What are you looking at?” almost in an accusatory tone. All I could do was show her.

So inappropriate. So hysterical. So addicting!

She’s warned me in the past about getting started on “Stumble Upon” saying it wouldn’t be a good thing for me. Does this kid know me or what? I didn’t but if it’s as funny as DYAC, maybe I should.

Alex should have warned me about this but then again, he doesn’t really know me.

If you haven't seen this before, check out this link or google it. I'll warn you that most are inappropriate but silly fun...

Damn You Autocorrect Founder Picks His Top 13 Texts

Only Read If You're Bored!

I don’t know if anyone else out there is feeling like me today.

* Easily distracted with random thoughts streaming through the brain.

* Don’t feel like working.

* Not feeling like writing (but actually do feel like it just don’t know what)

* Annoyed to be stranded at home with a surly electronics technician with a huge  attitude who expects to be here all (insert preferred swear word) day.

* Developing a huge attitude in response to his (arrow pointing up) stomping around

*Disappointed to be stuck inside on a gorgeous day (If you know me, you know how I get!)

* Eating everything that's not nailed down due to stuck state.

Possibly? Maybe?

I see this post going one of two ways; maybe three ways. Yes, I’m in a sassy/saucy mood too, which isn’t helping matters much over on this side of the screen.

I can tell you about fun stuff from my morning like an awesome rope workout (I’m partial to these even though my arms would like to fall off at the shoulders) with my favorite partner in the whole wide world, Big Dave. Foo Fighters and Kid Rock blaring on the stereo;

OR…

I can explain why I shouldn’t be left home with the “Geek Squad” while they hook up an elaborate TV/entertainment thingy someone took the time to explain to me last night so I could relate to said “Geeks” exactly how things should be set up. I apologize. I really wasn’t listening. My bad.

OR…

I can purge all the sassiness going through my brain at the moment. Just maybe, that should be an entirely different, stand-alone post for some other day. But I could write it, since I have time, then file under the folder “Totally Inappro-pro”!

I don’t believe I’ll write a post about any of those things, or anything at all!

Instead…

I’m checking to see what concerts are coming to Chicago this summer. Kenny Chesney, No. Keith Urban, Definitely Not. Drake, Nope. Who is One Direction? Enrique and JLO, Jimmy Buffett, No, No and No!

If only my guy, Bob Richie, was swinging through. Sadly, it’s not the case. He’s not coming :-( If he were, I’d be all over him…errrr, that (Not entirely kidding, however, I do try to maintain a soft “R” rating over here!)

AND if my girl Pink were coming, I’d be all over her too. I'm not one to discriminate. I'm an equal opportunity "all over you" concert enthusiast! Next year, I hear!

Hey! We all need/have guilty pleasures, right?

I essentially wrote about nothing. Sorry, my friends.

I PROMISE to be more engaging tomorrow!

Since this is so random, I’ll add two of my favorite pictures from the weekend.

I've Never Seen A Swan "Piggy Back" Ride Before, Have You?

Start of Sunday's E-Scow Race (boat smack in center is first all girls racing crew in 25 years...so proud)

What do you write about on a day you don’t feel like putting fingertips to keys?

Oh, and I just got Sir Crabby Pants “Geek Squad” guy to crack a smile. I’m making progress!!!
