Thirteen Things That Did Not Happen To Me Yesterday

1. Getting run over by a train
2. Receiving an invitation to Canada
3. Being mistaken for Dick Cheney
4. Falling into a puddle of grapefruit juice
5. Discovering that I am actually the long-lost daughter of David Letterman
6. Traveling to Taiwan and learning why I shouldn't drink the water
7. Getting hate mail from third-graders in Iowa
8. Getting fan mail from the British Royal Family (though I'm sure Her Majesty is a secret fan of the Jannaverse)
9. Finding magic beans in the litter box
10. Winning the lottery in four states at once
11. Being awarded first place in a foot odor contest (hey, there's no shame in coming in second.)
12. Getting distracted by a parade of naked men
13. Discovering 101 fun uses for dryer lint

You've really got to pay more attention to the parade sugar ;-)

Did you even LOOK in the litter box?

Hi Janna,
You have not replied to my e-mail.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Have you looked at my blog yet?

I'm sad to say I only thought of 97 uses for lint yesterday but maybe I can think of 4 more today.

Other than 10 and 12, it's a good thing, right? That those didn't happen?

No, I guess you didn't fall into the puddle of grapefruit juice....YOU PUSH ME INTO IT!

I gave you a Christmas present at my place anyway!

Marilyn said...

Wow. Didn't you do anything?

Not being mistaken for Dick Cheney is a very good thing.

That's amazing! The same exact thirteen things didn't happen to me!! What are the chances???

By the way, I've finished answering your questions for the interview meme. Come check them out!

Have you checked with the post office? You seem to be missing out on quite a bit of mail.

Janna said...

Turnbaby: If you get there first, take pictures!

Mr. Fab: Far too often, unfortunately.

Robin: How about this.... Mix it with radioactive waste, then steal the teddy bears of your enemies and replace their stuffing with the radioactive lint, then return them to your enemies, and wait for your enemies to slowly die of radiation poisoning! Huh? Huh? Is that useful or what?

DesertSongbird: Well, #8 would be nice too; I do love the Brits. Her Majesty and I could spend a lovely evening watching James Bond movies and flirting with the servants while we ordered pizza to be delivered to the castle....

Metalmom: Gee, now I feel slightly bad that I pushed you into the grapefruit juice.

Marilyn: Yes, I wrote blog posts. :)

Square1: I completely agree! Though it WOULD make it a lot easier to get away with shooting people, apparently...

Steve: Wow! We could be TWINS!

Travis: I wonder if they have a form I could fill out...

Janna said...

DavidC: I answered your e-mail.... that link was different from the one you just listed.... I'll try checking that one out instead. (The first one was in French, I think!!!)

Robin said...

Has anyone ever told you how creative you are? You could be the next Martha Stewart!

Janna said...

Robin: Yes.... the NEXT Martha Stewart. After the current one mysteriously dies of a teddy-bear related illness....

Wayne said...

Do you mean you won the lottery in 3 states at once?

Janna said...

Wayne: Who told you?

Robin said...

We can only pray.

Janna said...

Robin: Pray for Martha??? Are you crazy?
