Gooooooood mornnnning Vietblog! Did you guys have a good weekend? We surely did. Why? Cause it's John's birthday! And though I couldn't celebrate (booze) with him last year for his 40th since I was preg, I made sure to make it happen this year. But I'll fill you in on the deets later because right now it's time for...
This week we're at C...ccccheck it out...
btw, I'm making it a goal of mine to better identify picture sources on the blog so I'm (2) legit.
Cru Jones - If you were in a pre-teen in the 80's then you probably saw the BMX bike-racing movie Rad. Since my older brother raced bmx, every Friday night we headed to West Coast Video and rented Rad, where it then lived in our VCR all weekend long. I knew this movie by heart and of course, had a crush on the lead character, Cru Jones. How effing cool is his name??? And if I have my way, I most definitely would consider it for a kiddo. Anyway, this movie featured one of the greatest songs of the 80's, Send Me An Angel, to which Cru and Lori Laughlin bike-danced at a school dance. You can't get much better than that. Helltrack!
Chipped Beef - Have I mentioned that I love breakfast? If I'm going out for the most important meal of the day, then I'm ordering cream chipped beef. It reminds me of my grandmom who would let us tear our toast into bits and cover it with heaps of chipped beef. It's also fa-reaking delicious. Who wants to hit up *Tom Jones?
Comedy - I know it's kinda vague but I really do love all things comedic. And I know it probably sounds corny, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE to laugh. If you can make me laugh, I love you. Knee slapping laughs, can't-speak-wheezy laughs, I do em all. I grew up glued to Comedy Central, watching stand-up. My best friend and I bonded over our mutual love of sketch comedy although we both love SNL, I also love Kids in the Hall but she doesn't. She just hates on Canada apparently. I love seeing comics live and have seen quite a few in my time. John and I used to drive up to Lancaster (amish country) to this small comedy club that would get fairly big names but in the teeniest setting. We'd always head to the bar afterwards and usually ended up tossing back a few with the comics. Also, being told you're funny is awesome and also a huge compliment. My brother Josh will laugh at anything I say and is always my best audience. He's a can't-speak-wheezy-laugher. Laughs and funnyness make my world go round.
Clay - When I was in college, I had to fill some rando credits so I decided to take a pottery class. BEST DECISION EVER. Our teacher was a laid back (probably stoned) old American Indian man who was the chillest teacher ever. You wanna make stuff? Great. You don't? That's cool too. But I did want to make stuff. I started playing with clay and water and glazing and throwing and firing and I was hooked. I made a billion ashtrays and wonky vases. I even bought my own clay and made stuff at home and he would fire it for me at school. Nerdddddd Yeah, that totally made me teacher's pet. I was into it though. But just for that one semester. That's all I needed apparently.
So anyway, did you guys join in this week? Or do you just want to go out to breakfast with me? Either way, let me know!

I'm still loving this idea very much. I just submitted my link to you too.
And as long as you like "clay" and not "Clay Aiken", we can still be blogging buddies.
How can you say I have no love for all things Canadian when two of the loves of my life were manufactured there?
-Phil Hartman
-Bryan Adams
Also, we should get together and watch late 80s- early 90s SNL. Come over!
