Happy Friday Blogger World. We finally made it to Friday. Is it just me or did this week drag on FOREVER? Ok, so it’s just me. In pure This is my world fashion I bring you Friday Fun Facts. Folks, today’s facts are kind of all over the place so try to stay with me. I understand, not an easy task.
We have a birthday. Today, Kevin Costner is celebrating his 54th birthday. Now, I like Kevin. Some of my friends think he’s a horrible actor, but I disagree. He’s put out some great hits over the years. Robin Hood, Dances with Wolves, Field of Dreams, The Bodyguard, and of course my favorite- Bull Durham. In honor of Kevin, I felt like I needed to share my favorite part of Bull Durham.
Larry: Excuse me, but what the hell's going on out here?
Crash Davis: Well, Nuke's scared because his eyelids are jammed and his old man's here. We need a live... is it a live rooster?
[Jose nods]
Crash Davis: We need a live rooster to take the curse off Jose's glove and nobody seems to know what to get Millie or Jimmy for their wedding present.
[to the players]
Crash Davis: Is that about right?
[the players nod]
Crash Davis: We're dealing with a lot of sh*t.
Larry: Okay, well, uh... candlesticks always make a nice gift, and uh, maybe you could find out where she's registered and maybe a place-setting or maybe a silverware pattern. Okay, let's get two! Go get 'em.
See, that’s some funny crap.
I don’t know if you guys heard but OU’s quarterback, Sam Bradford, decided to stay at OU for another year. The media was thrilled, and OU fans were beside themselves. The OKC mayor, the same guy that called Oklahomans fat, was so pumped that he declared Tuesday, or Wednesday, or maybe it was Thursday Sam Bradford Day. I can’t remember the exact day, but sometime this week we had Sam Bradford Day. I think Sam staying is wonderful news. As an OU fan, I predict next year we will beat TX, but still lose the National Championship. I’m kidding, sort of, but I am happy Sam is staying. So random fact about Sam…I know his mom, and I’ve known her for most of my life.
Yesterday was a huge day. Do you realize that yesterday was: Women in Blue Jeans Day (way bummed day I missed that holiday), Appreciate a Dragon Day (umm what?), and Nothing Day? I don’t know what Nothing Day is but it sounds like a holiday we need to start practicing every year.
I read online that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner recently had their baby. This week they released the new bundle of joy’s name- Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck. What the heck! What kind of name is Seraphina? I don’t even know how to pronounce Seraphina. Spell check doesn’t even recognize this word; of course spell check doesn’t recognize my name either, so I don’t know if that’s saying much. Anyway, I’m sad that Ben and Jennifer have fallen into the -I’m a celebrity so I’m going to name my child a stupid name- category. Maybe they are going to call her Rose, or Elizabeth. I think both names are super cute, but they didn’t really ask my opinion so I guess I should keep my trap shut. But congratulations to the proud parents, because I know they read my blog.
Well that’s all the Friday Facts I have for you. Like I said at the beginning, they were all over the place. Hopefully you kept up. If not, feel free to reread everything again.

Your Daily Giggle
Last night I realized something about myself. Even though I’m almost 28 years old, I still have the maturity level of a 13 year old. I still get the giggles, and I still get the giggles at the most inappropriate times/places. Take last night for an example….
Most Wednesday nights you can find me at church. My church has a large singles program and we meet every Wednesday night for a midweek service. Last night was no exception. The service was going like most Wednesday nights services; someone from class gave a welcome speech, we sang songs, had a prayer, and listened to a speaker. It was when the speaker started talking that I realized my maturity level was the same as my Sunday morning 4th graders. The speaker was delivering a wonderful lesson. He had reached the height of his lesson when all the sudden someone farted. And not just someone, someone sitting four seats down from me. Also, this wasn’t just a fart- it was a rock your world fart. It was loud, and the entire class heard the fart.
As you can probably guess I did not hold my laughter in very well. But to be fair not many people did. The guy sitting next to me kept whispering multiple comments in my ear. Yeah, that didn’t help at all! When I finally gained composure the guy let out another fart. Blogger World, I kid you not. The guy farted twice! The second one caused me to lose it. I giggled so much that my eyes began watering. I would finally gain composure and then I would see or hear someone else start giggling; and it would cause me to lose it all over again. This behavior went on for the remainder of service. Needless to say, I didn’t hear much of speaker’s lesson. The speaker had my attention until the farts came ripping out.
My friends and I did come to the conclusion that there was no way you could have walked out of Wednesday night service without breaking a smile. We also decided that no matter how old you get, farts are still going to be funny.

How OK Chick Got Her Groove Back
If I were to be honest with myself, I’d say I was a border line gym rat. Ok fine… I’m a complete gym rat, the queen of all gym rats, the head honcho of gym rats! I love to work out! I love to wake up in the morning and feel the after effects of a long work out. I suppose that constitutes someone as a gym rat, right? However, even gym rats get burnt out of working out, and January has been that month for me. I’ve had zero desire to get off the couch to run. I blame this on my addiction of 90210 and stupid Lifetime movies. And on top of the sudden laziness, it’s been like pulling teeth for me to attend my daily Jazzercise classes. None of these new characteristics are my normal self. I’m usually pumped to attend aerobics; and freakishly excited/energetic after I run three miles.These past few weeks I have been pretty frustrated with my non-motivated butt, but last night I finally found motivation! Blogger World, I watched a two hour episode of The Biggest Loser. The show motivated me so much that I wanted to start working out right then, during the show. So throughout the show, Sister #1 and I kept doing crunches, lunges, and push-ups. I am fully aware that we looked like big dorks, no need to flood the comment box with this information. Sister #1 and I were so motivated that we worked out while our TV friends on The Biggest Loser worked out. Heck, Sister #1 got so motivated that she went to Wally-World, during a commercial break, to purchase an exercise ball. When I went to bed last night I was excited about my new found motivation. I set my alarm for 5:15am. I was going to attend an early aerobics class.
Well, this morning 5:15am hit me like a brick wall. I’m sad to report that I did not roll out of bed when my alarm went off. Instead, I hit snooze and went back to bed for another hour. A minor set back. I’m sure my body just needed to recover from all the crunches and push ups. Do not fret, my motivation is still intact. Later today you will find me and Little Shuffle running many circles around the track. I don’t care if show up to my church meeting all sweaty and stinky. I’m happy the old me is back.

Weekend Update
It’s time for a Weekend Update. The first Weekend Update of 2009 and it’s a good one! Blogger World, buckle up because it was a busy weekend.
Friday
Friday night was a swell night. First, Sister #1 had a friend in town for the weekend. The three of us started our Friday night with a nice low fat Chicken Taco Soup for dinner. I made the soup. It was pretty tasty. Well I thought it was tasty. I think I heard Sister #1 mention it needed more flavor. However, I ignored her comment because I didn’t see her making anything for dinner.
Second, the three of us headed to the movies. Bride Wars was calling our name. I enjoyed this movie 100%. I stamp the movie $9.00 worthy for sure. Heck, I’d pay $10 to see the movie and be happy, it was that good. Sadly, after the movie my evening ended. I went home and hit the sack.
Saturday
After I did my normal Saturday morning routine, it was time to head home for some cleaning and cooking. See, we were having a party later that night. Sister #1, The Friend, and I spent all day cooking food for our party. OK, that’s not entirely true. We did manage to squeeze in two Lifetime movies while we cooked. Both movies had to do with how bad America’s youth have gotten. I walked away from both movies never wanting to have children, thinking all teenage girls should be locked in their rooms until age 25, and believing the youth of today have gone to crap. Editor's Note: Sister #2 is the exception to all these things.
Anyway, after the two crappy Lifetime movies it was time for our party. Sister #1 and I were hosting our Second Chance Party. What’s a Second Chance Party you ask? It’s a party where guest bring a crappy Christmas presents they received and we play Dirty Santa with everyone’s presents. It’s a Christmas party after Christmas, and it is a blast! Editor's Note: The party is filed under Brilliant Idea # 71. Again, feel free to steal any of Ok Chick’s Brilliant Ideas.
This year’s party was a huge hit. We served awesome food and exchanged crappy presents! The menu consisted of: Crab Dip, Cookies, Meatballs, Whiskey Little Smokies, Puff Balls Stuffed with Ham/Cheese, and Sopaipilla Balls. The presents exchanged were a story in itself. This year we had a wide variety of presents. We had everything from a QVC fake leather coat to out dated Body Wash. No joke! Our friends received some crappy presents this year!
Sunday
Sunday was the normal routine; except Sister #1 and her friends watched another Lifetime movie. I couldn’t handle another life sucking movie so I hit the gym. I worked out for over an hour and watched Karate Kid. Who isn’t inspired by Mr. Miyagi?

Being strong is for the birds...
Today is Cookie Thursday. I was strong for 5.75 seconds. I wanted to resist the cookie, but it just wasn't happening today. Oh shut up you would have eaten one too!

Get your boody on the floor tonight
Today is January 7, 2009. Apparently a few important things happened on this day. Oh no, I’m not talking about important historic events. I mean, I’m not talking about all the old/living Presidents having a power lunch today at the White House-which is sort of cool. Nope, I’m referring to the worthless trivia that’s important to me. Blogger World, don’t roll your eyes at me- I might help you win Trivial Pursuit someday. Yeah, you didn’t think about that, did you? Anyway…..
Did you know that one of my least favorite Saved By the Bell alumni is celebrating a birthday today? It’s true. Screech is turning 32. Happy Birthday to you! If I liked you more I’d write a birthday post in your honor; but you annoyed me on the show so you’ll have to settle for this paragraph.
The second random fact is a great one. Do you guys remember the song Pump Up the Jam? Of course you do! Pump Up the Jam became #1 in the land on this day. The question is, what year? Do you think it’s:
A) 1991
B) 1990
C) 1989
Let me know your answer; and as always imaginary high five to the winner.
So I just looked up the lyrics to Pump Up the Jam and came to a shocking realization. Here are some of the lyrics….
Pump up the jam
Pump it up
While your feet are stompin'
And the jam is pumpin'
Look at here the crowd is jumpin'
Pump it up a little more
Get the party going on the dance floor
Seek us that's where the party's at
And you'll find out if you're too bad
I don't want a place to stay
Get your boody on the floor tonight
Make my day
I just realized that I’ve been singing the bolded line all wrong! I didn’t know that’s what they said. Seriously, I’ve been belting this song out all wrong.

Anonymous Truths
Every once in a while I stumble onto the blog Anonymous Truths. It’s a blog where someone out in Blogger World leaves a question and readers respond to the question anonymously. I find the blog fascinating and comforting. My hat is off to the creator of Anonymous Truths.
Today, I thought I would turn This is my world into Anonymous Truths. Here’s the deal, I’m going to ask a question, which I have stolen from Anonymous Truths; then if you would like to respond do it under Anonymous. Here are the rules before I post the question….
1. All comments should be left anonymously.
2. Just because the comments are anonymous is NOT an excuse to leave an inappropriate or judgmental remark.
3. It is fine for a healthy dialog to take place in the comments section, but keep it clean, impersonal, and on track.
4. If you recognize someone’s answer, please keep it to yourself.
5. This is in NO WAY intended to be offensive or hurtful to anyone.
The Question:
Name a time in your life that you would like to go back to, either because you want a do-over or because you want to experience it again.
