Your Living Canvas - Art Journal - New Pages

This double page spread is part of Christy Tomlinson's Your Living Canvas Workshop.  It is about finding balance with our 6 F's- Family, Friends, Faith, Finance, Fun, Fitness.  I haven't really had time to do all the work for the class but love watching the videos from Christy and Art and learning new art techniques.  More soon my friends.
Hugs,  Erin

Funny Friday - Penis Surgery

The doctor comes in and says, "Ah, I see you've regained consciousness. Now you probably won't remember, but you were in a huge pile-up on the freeway. You're going to be okay, you'll walk again and everything, however, your penis was severed in the accident and we couldn't find it."

The man groans, but the doctor goes on, "You have $9,000 in insurance compensation coming and we now have the technology to build a new penis. They work great but they don't come cheap. It's roughly $1000 an inch."

The man perks up.

"So," the doctor says, "You must decide how many inches you want. But I understand that you have been married for over thirty years and this is something you should discuss with your wife. If you had a five incher before and get a nine incher now she might be a bit put out. If you had a nine incher before and you decide to only invest in a five incher now, she might be disappointed. It's important that she plays a role in helping you make a decision."
The man agrees to talk it over with his wife.

The doctor comes back the next day, "So, have you spoken with your wife?"
"Yes I have," says the man.
"And has she helped you make a decision?"
"Yes" says the man.
"What is your decision?" asks the doctor

 
"We're getting granite countertops."

Disclaimer: Funny Friday is not intended to offend anyone,
it is just my way of sharing the bits of laughter
sent to me by friends thoughout the week.
I pick the best of the bunch to share with you. 
Figuring if you are as tired as I am and possibly stressed by work
(or just life in general) you can use a good laugh.

TGIF!  Hugs,  Erin

The View from my Resting Place

Someone (her name is Mimi) has become quite fond of making me her resting place during my surgery recovery.  This was the view from my resting place yesterday afternoon.  Normally she prefers to be at my feet on a blanket but over the last few weeks with me at home, she has become fond of laying on my lap to take her afternoon nap. 


And she's down for the count......
And we were rudely interrupted by teenage boy noise, soon after this comfy photo was taken.
Such a rough life we have.......LOL

Funny Friday - The Husband Store

The Husband Store
A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.  She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.  'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.' So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking. 'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework. 'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak. She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.


PLEASE NOTE:  To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.
