A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special

So since I missed it during Thanksgiving week, me and my mom watched the beloved cartoon yesterday to catch up. As I've written previously, I love the Charlie Brown holiday specials and enjoy watching them year after year. In case you didn't know, this special involves Charlie Brown attempting to put together a Thanksgiving meal for his friends, as one invited herself and others without asking. And poor Charlie Brown just couldn't say no. Of course, as kids, the meal ended up comprising of popcorn, pretzel sticks, and toast. However, all ends well as the gang gets invited to go to CHarlie Brown's grandmother's dinner. Funny how I always say Charlie Brown and not just Charlie...and I never can't laugh when Peppermint Patty continually calls him "Chuck", haha. And poor Charlie Brown, will he ever get to kick that football? Can't wait for the Christmas episode!


Outside Christmas Decorations

When I was home yesterday, I helped my mom put up some of the outside Christmas decorations in our front yard. She had already put up lights on the rim of the house. Since it was so cold, we put together some of the pieces best we could in the garage before having to head out in the complete cold (the garage is only a little warmer). As usual, we had a big snowman, a reindeer, and a Christmas tree (lights not the blowup kind). As well, we had multiple colored lights around four of the bushes in front of the house. This year, my mom added these 3 connected penguins that lit up. Though kind of small, we put them near the front so they could still be seen. After a minor setback, we finally got all the extension cords connected so that all the lights came on. I think we still have a couple more things to do, but I can't wait b/c even though being out in the cold sucks I love seeing all the decorations up!

It's Freezing Today!


Although I'm no stranger to North Carolina cold weather, this morning's cold definitely got me shivering. And the surprising part--I still saw people in shorts and flip-flops. I mean I get some people don't get as cold as others but seriously put some clothes on! I know if I'm freezing with my jeans, shoes, and big jacket they must be dying. And unfortunately, the weather isn't going to change. I mean I'm fine with the cold in small doses, but mostly I like being inside knowing it's cold outside...and drinking some hot chocolate! That's my kind of experiencing cold weather...with the occasional walk outside to realize how good inside feels :)

Scary Maze Game Reaction - YouTube

so the other night, my friends and I recalled the Scary Maze Game they showed me online last year and the reaction it got out of the person next to me when we were in lab; more funny memories! Anyways, so then we started looking up reactions to the game on YouTube. Most were not that funny but we only looked through a few. The one shown below was the funniest we found, and I just can't stop laughing when the kid keeps hitting the computer screen. Though I don't enjoy seeing kids cry, this was definitely hilarious for me. If you haven't heard/seen the game, you can probably see some of it in the video below OR Google it first and play it then watch this video.

Beyonce Clown - YouTube

My friend asked if I had ever seen this video on YouTube and I hadn't even heard of it but just the name itself sounded amusing. So we went and watched it at lunch. At first I was creeped out by the clown mask and it dancing for some reason. But then I laughed out loud when she bumped her head and then wanted to stop and take the mask off. Then of course she wanted to turn the camera off after that little mishap! Lesson learned to not dance near TVs!!!


Scarlet Takes A Tumble - YouTube

Even though I watched this video like a year ago, my friend brought it up again at lunch this afternoon. We both went and watched it for like the zillionth time, and still busted out laughing like it was the first time we'd ever seen it. Watching it also brought back some good memories from senior year of high school, as I originally watched it on a friend's iPhone before an away football game that a bunch of us went to and were freezing the whole time. Even though we got smashed in the game, my friends and I enjoyed attending and making funny memories like this one!


The Serious Baby - YouTube

So i was bored at lunch and my friend showed me this hilarious video of this baby that makes a serious face and then laughs. It's so funny to watch him go back and forth between the serious face (I call it the "whatchu talking bout" face) and the happy, laughing child. Definitely watch it and laugh; it made me do so at lunch! :] Sometimes it's just so great to browse youtube for funny videos!
