Wisconsin News of the Day

Have I told you people about my Wisconsin theory? It's the epicenter of all evil in the universe. Seriously. I have proof. I'll expound on it later, but first. Here's the Wisconsin News of the Day. I was just on the fox news website and I saw this headline "Man Accused for Shooting Lawn Mower for Not Starting". I read it outloud to my husband, then said "I bet it was in WI" and clicked on the link. Ta-dah! Who called it baby?!

I thought this was hilarious

Ever wondered what happens when Hallmark writers are having a bad day........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looking back over the years
that we've been together,
I can't help but wonder...
'What the hell was I thinking?'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Congratulations on your wedding day!
Too bad no one likes your husband.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How could two people as beautiful as you
Have such an ugly baby?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've always wanted to have
someone to hold,
someone to love.
After having met you ..
I've changed my mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I must admit, you brought Religion into my life.
I never believed in Hell until I met you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the days go by, I think of how lucky I am...
That you're not here to ruin it for me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy Birthday, Uncle Dad!
(Available only in Tennessee, Kentucky & West Virginia)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy Birthday! You look great for your age.
Almost Lifelike!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When we were together,
you always said you'd die for me.
Now that we've broken up,
I think it's time you kept your promise.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have been friends for a very long time ..
let's say we stop?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm so miserable without you
it's almost like you're here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Congratulations on your new bundle of joy.
Did you ever find out who the father was?

Becky Higgins smacks down Wal Mart Shoppers!!

Ok, get this. In the August 2008 issue of Creating Keepsakes, page 80, there is a layout by Becky Higgins. One of the grand dames of CK scrapping. It's a layout based on what she will miss and what she won't miss when she moved from Ohio to whereever. So, let's check out the What she won't miss section, on the right hand side of the layout. 3rd down from the top, let's read it all together now, shall we?

"quality parenting witnessed at WalMart"

She even put quality in quotes!!!! Ok, so how brillaint is Becky Higgins? Um, do you always insult people when you publish your layouts? I am guessing yes. Now granted, I actually agree with her somewhat. The WalMarts around here aren't known for being bastions of intellectual display.

However - I am not a published scrapbooker in a freaking national magazine!
