Wise words to live by.



You can either do it with a happy heart or a stingin‘ butt.~ said by April to one of her children.

Look what I’m married to…

Hi Michael, how’s Caroline and the girls?” I say to my husband when he has major poofy head, but has shaved off all his facial stubs.

Hi Barry, wannna disco?” I say to my hubbabubba when he grows out his beard and unbuttons the top fifty five buttons of his light blue satin disco shirt, yeah baybee!

Hi Nick” I say breathlessly to my hotband when he slicks back his hair and sports a goatee.

Kramer! You idiot!” I yell at my husband when he slides across the kitchen floor in his socks and crashes into me or pretends to break his nose on the closet door that I just opened in his face.

He’s a versatile man. A veritable chameleon. A comedic genius and a gentle soul. A disco rock star and and a delicious dish.

And I get to live with it…I mean him.

Roomba Zoomba

My sister drove to St. Louis from her small existence in Kansas to become certified as a Zumba instructor. Now I can’t stop chanting, “Zoomba-zooomba-zoomba-roomba-boomba“.

She told me I would love to Zumba, if I could stop laughing long enough to concentrate on the moves. Zoomba-zoomba-zoomba-roomba-boomba.

She wants to start teaching classes in her small town and I asked what she would call the class. “Will you call it Zoomba Boomba? ” No. “Will you change your name to Roomba so you can call it Zoomba with Roomba?” No. “Well, just Zumba doesn’t sound like much fun. I think you should call it Put Some Boomba in Your Roomba with a Bit of Zumba!” No.

She takes this Zumba stuff pretty seriously
