Ohhhhhh my goodness you guys. Last night was a FUNNY night. Even as I sit here typing up this post, almost 12 hours later, I cannot stop laughing. Let me clue you all in…
Basically, if you want a rundown of how our evenings at home usually go, they look a little something like this. Usually, Jay and I are on the couch…sometimes Cody is too.
^^From one of my favorite Cody posts of ALL time right there.
Most nights of the week, there’s a show on TV that we’re watching…last night, it was The Voice (were there some good battles last night or WHAT?!). While we’re watching TV however, because we’re both somewhat addicted to social media, the two of us will be on and off our phones and/or iPad throughout the evening. For me? Well, there’s 1,000 different things I tend to look at. For Jay? Well, he’s got pretty much one site that he looks at…The Chive.
Now, I will admit that The Chive does have a crapton of pictures I could do without (aka, the half naked ladies with their lady parts hanging out all over the place…mmm, no thanks). BUT, they do have some pretty amusing posts and pics that they put up as well, including lots of cats (YAY!) and just random funny stuff.
Whenever Jay comes across those types of photos, he’ll usually share them with me. Typically, I’ll glance, giggle, and move on with my life. But last night? Ohhhhh myyyy gooodnesssss. I don’t know if it was more the photos or just me, but there were a few pics that I completely LOST it on. Literally…laughing so hard there was snorting, tears…the works. Who knows, I may have even peed a little. But I’ve got to share three of those photos with you guys to see if you find them as amusing as me. Seriously, I’m still laughing.
(all three photos from The Chive)
Picture #1…
Ohhh, Lil Wayne. You are just not an attractive dude. And you do, in fact, resemble a gremlin.
Picture #2…
BAHAHA! Seriously, talk about a picture fail. All I can think of when I see this is a time when I was younger, and my family had a night where we were all having a blast putting nylon stockings over our faces and pulling up on them. Have you guys ever seen what that does to your face? Please, either look it up or just try it yourself. It’s freakin’ hilarious…I’ve gotta see if I can get my hands on those old photos from my parents…
And finally…the photo that totally did me in. I’m not kidding…this is where I lost it.
Picture #3…
When he first showed me this photo, I thought I was just looking at a pair of TOMS. But, “upon closer inspection,” they are, in fact, loaves of bread. I can’t even stand it…I’m dying right now.
Okay, so are my hormones just giving me a serious case of the giggles or are these pictures really that funny?? ;)
*****
So BEFORE our whole evening of laughing and shenanigans went down, we did eat some dinner.
Over the weekend I picked up a pack of stew meat that was on sale for a ridiculous price and wound up coming across a recipe on Cooking Light for Beef Carnitas Tacos. We already had all of the other ingredients on hand, so I just halved the recipe and went to town.
The recipe itself had some pretty good flavor, but we would have liked if the beef was a bit more tender. Maybe letting it cook in the crockpot all day would help? Either way, it was still tasty…and still Mexican which made my taste buds happy. ;)

A couple Odds & Ends…
**The Baby Tooth Page was updated this morning!!**
And for those of you who are local…
My friend Gabby is participating in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Woman of the Year campaign and tomorrow night she’s co-hosting an event with 2 of the Man of the Year candidates from the campaign as well.
The event is Wednesday (tomorrow) night from 6-9pm at Vapor night club in the Saratoga Racino. It sounds like it’s going to be a pretty fun event with some live music and an amazing auction, so if you’re in the area and want to donate to a good cause, be sure to check it out! It’s only a $10 donation and tickets can be purchased HERE. :)

What veggie concoction do you have there on the side with your tacos?? It looks tasty!!
