If You Give a Mom a Moment: Need a Good Laugh?

Need a Good Laugh?

I don't watch daytime television. I have better things to do with my time (like cleaning, or more realistically, blogging.) And frankly, I would rather let my kids watch Super Why than listen to them fight with me about wanting to watch Super Why while I am trying to watch a show. But Christian got this link on an e-mail forward, that is a clip from the Ellen show, and I laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants. Click on this link if you want a really good laugh.

I couldn't understand why it was called a Hawaii chair. Christian had to point out that it must be because of the hula. Check out those hips... My favorite part is hearing Ellen laugh, because she usually tries so hard to stay serious, and she just can't. I love it!

This is my kids' favorite new place to play. Believe it or not, they played in my dirty clothes basket for almost an hour.

Have all of you Utahns dug out of the snow yet?

Vickie said...: That is so funny Erin! Ellen D. has a pretty good personality (haven't seen her show before but if that is an indication...)

Snow? Dug out yet? It 's still snowing here! Ya know my gliding bench I have out on the deck??? The snow is just about up to the armrests now. The seat disappeared sometime yesterday. Rog told me I better not try to go out today until he gets home and has time to plow because if I don't get the car stuck on the way down, I would never make it back up.

Jessie said...: Ellen is the only daytime TV I permit myself. She makes me laugh every day. I did see the Hawaii chair episode, and it killed me. She then spent the next few days putting audience members and/or interviewing people while sitting in the chair. Ridiculous! I heart her show.

I'm loving Twilight by the way - I'm on the chapter called "The Hunt" and I'm dying to read it, but I have to wait for today's naptime. SUSPENSE!; February 6, 2008 at 11:47 AM

It is a waste of time and energy to worry about what others are thinking about you. because... You can never know exactly what another person is thinking...AND, the wost part is...they are usually not thinking about you at all. They are too busy worrying about what others are thinking about them. So, the truth is, all those terrible thoughts you thought they might be thinking about you, are your own thoughts about yourself. Better spend your energy worrying about that...or, you just might convince somebody to think what you were afraid they might be thinking after all. ~Portia Nelson

"When we honestly ask which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not-knowing, not-curing, not-healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness ... makes it clear that whatever happens in the external world, being present to each other is what really matters." ~Henri Nouwen

"...People need to talk, and often a willingness to sit and listen is the greatest kindness one person can offer to another. One of the first lessons of childhood is to be wary of strangers, and while this is good counsel to guard against the world's very small nefarious element, it also teaches us to block out the large majority of those who just have something on their mind they'd like to say. We are taught to be suspicious, especially of anyone who might not look like us or share our beliefs. By the time we reach adulthood, many have perfected the art of isolation, of being careful, of not listening in the name of safety. But the truth is that we need to hear other people, all people, especially in those moments when we don't know exactly where we're going ourselves." ~Ann Patchett

"Sometimes, I imagine my own life as a series of snapshots taken by some omniscient artist who is just keeping track - not interfering or saying anything, just capturing the moment for me to look back at it again later....This is the way it is, the photograph says, and I nod my head in appreciation. The power of art is in that nod of appreciation, though sometimes I puzzle nothing out, and the nod is more a shrug. No, I do not understand this one, but I see it. I take it in. I will think about it. If I sit with this image long enough, this story, I have the hope of understanding something I did not understand before. And that, too, is art, the best art." ~Dorothy Allison
