Honestly, nothing this week could have been better than the outpouring of love and support I received from you guys over Wednesday’s post (email or tweet for password). It was genuine, and humbling, and amazing, and again, THANK YOU.
So in return, I’d like to share some of the other things that made living a little extra worthwhile this week. Because I heart you like that.
Now I promise this is not just a lazy Friday. I have been treasuring these nuggets all week, eagerly waiting to drop them on you. Which may or may not say something about my mental stability. Whatever. Reap the benefits, my friends, cause these are GOLD.
Last week I was trolluping around (it’s a phrase, ask your mom) the interwebs, when I came across Katie’s blog, Can I Just Say… and I was FACE BLASTED with this awesomeness:
TAKE ME BACK, JOEY. Take me back to a time of Whoas and high tops and white kids spray painting neon on buildings! Le sigh.
Next up… I found the link for this on Crissy’s blog a few days ago, and I’ve never been so glad I clicked. You all know of my love for ridiculous and fugly creatures. This is one very, very special animal… I am not exaggerating when I say that tears were literally streaming down my cheeks the first time I watched it.
I give you: Snowball, the dancing cockatoo.
He just wants to DANCE!!! There are 724,986 views on that video. I think 724,980 are probably mine.
And finally, I found this gem on holytaco.com… and wasted no time in sending it to three of my favorite soon-to-be-mommy bloggers, Lisa, Dolce, and Crissy. You know, to make them feel better about not being NEARLY this lame.
Are you blind yet? I think that was also your Weekend Dose of the Fugly, all rolled into one. Now let’s get back to talking about anal! (God, it’s never normal around here, is it?)
Don’t ever say I never did anything for you, kiddos. Happy Weekend!

oh joey lawrence, how i used to long to touch that beautiful head of hair! and who knew pregnant women could move so fluidly in spandex unitards? hahaha!
ZOMG, thank you for the Joey L post. I actually remember sitting with my childhood bff and watching the episode of Blossom that came on just before this musical goodie premiered for the first time.
Whatever happened to floppy flower hats? Sigh…
There is NOTHING your love can’t fix Joey? Hmmm. Can it fix the pain in my soul after seeing your pasty chest adorned with that medallion? I think not, Mr. Lawrence, I think not.
I adore cockatoos! Don’t think I could ever have the place/stability to own one, but I love them! So smart, funny, and sweet!
My boss’ balls didn’t make the cut?!?!
BLASHPEME!!!
Joey Lawrence? LOL LOL
MYEYEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz
Oh wow, the preggo shuffle. What. The. Shit.
Also, I’m a big fan of Joey’s open shirt off the shoulders look. It’s fly. (Although I actually am a sucker for that song…I’m so ashamed!)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE that bird! Thanks for making it obvious to all my coworkers that I’m not working right now…
That cockatoo has more rhythm than some humans I know.
Watching that Joey Lawrence video and seeing him on Dancing With the Stars reminded me of the tragedy of male pattern baldness.
OMG that preggo video freaked me out. What is with the glasses?!
And Joey Lawrence! I remember that video. Yikes!
cavy: It’s not really Friday until there’s spandex unitards involved.
Mb: Blossom was such a loser. She always annoyed me. Why couldn’t she have been cool, like Six??
Lemm: Oh… so you didn’t like the necklace I got you for your birthday?
Connie: Apparently! I almost wanted one, until I was reminded that they can poop ANYWHERE.
moooooog35: I told him we’re through until he learns to manscape.
nothingfancy: One for the ages, no doubt.
Malnurtured Snay: I thought you’d say that.
Just A Girl: Oh, believe me, I’m trying to get it on my ipod as we speak. (Type?)
Beach Bum: I’m coming over to say hi in a minute! Cue it up for me!
Patty Duke: When I showed my dad, he said, “That bird dances better than I do.” And I said, “That’s what B said, too.”
Marie: Oh, Joey. We had such high hopes for you!
I predict we will see Joey Lawrence on Confessions of a Teen Idol 2. Along with Ralph Macchio, Rick Springfield and Leif Garrett. I wonder what Alfonso Ribeiro is up to these days…hmmm.
Ok that last video…I just had to go scrub my eyes with comet. I’m just sayin…
You make my life better all the time! And I forwarded that monstrosity all over the place. Holy cow. I mean, thanks.
The bird makes me laugh every time I watch him…I would love to have a ‘too some day.
(And the prego shuffle, huh? Yipes.)
and what’s up with those rollerSKATE acrobatics? was that really before rollerblades existed?
Boy did I pick the right day to find your blog! LOL!
I am totally plotting to steal that bird! You in?
YES! OMG Joey Lawrence. I remember getting that tape single so I could listen to it in my walkman. And the fashions. OYYY.
It is too early for that kind of craziness. Joey Lawrence was on CSI: Somewhere the other day. He was very orange. Yum.
OMG that bird made me smile. Like, a lot.
I wish I could bust a move like that.
I… I don’t even know what to say about that last video. I think it made me brain dead.
Where are the men videos? Like Debbie Gibson or Tiffany?
Debbie Gibson- I always wanted to faceblast her.
This got awkward.
Holey Shnikey’s!
I have 2 tell ya, that Joey video was F*ing FANTASTIC… I forget at times what era I grew up in! And the bib overalls?!?!?! I used 2 LOVE those!
And I have to say… sitting on my computer, by myself, midday, that 2nd video made me laugh, loudly, out loud. I’m such a dweeb!
Happy Friday!
the pregos should have fallen under tmi. they creeped me out. on another note . . . my dog mugsy (god rest his soul) won 3rd place in an ugly dog contest. jealous?
Man, I was just thinking about a week ago that I miss me some Blossom (minus the hats), Joey and Anthony. But not Six. Never Six.
WHOA! Joey Lawrence. I had forgotten all about that song. I may have to use that one for my forgotten classic of the week one of these days.
Fearless: He’s already on Dancing with the Stars, apparently… and bald.
Gladys: Ha! Happy to jumpstar your morning, love.
Lisa: How could I not? Just please don’t get a unitard.
inkpuddle: Snowball is my new bffie.
Dr. H: It probably was, judging by the hair alone.
Jenni Jiggity: We can share joint custody. I’m glad you didn’t come on a TMI Thursday… we’ll work up to that.
Kristen: WALKMAN. I love it!
Oxen Cox: Oh, Joey. Once a TV star, but a guido forever.
Racquel Valencia: That’s what I said! He’s got the head bob DOWN.
surviving myself: Well, it is Friday, so it’s cool. No one will notice.
rs27: I set myself up for that one.
Miles To Go: Laugh away, my darling. I live to serve.
Claire: YES. YES I AM. Where do you live? No reason.
Kate: MINUS the hats?! Are you MAD, woman?
ah joey. i wouldn’t mind some alone time with him. back then and now. either/or.
happy weekend sister!
I’m using Snowball as my new daily workout…follow those moves!
Oh and have you “HURD”? lol
Yeah. I have that Joey Lawrence CD from way back. It’s probably one of the oldest CDs I own.
Don’t judge me!
preggo shuffle rap?!
that is effin’ ridiculous.
If those ladies had stuck to anal, they could have saved a lot of time doing the preggo rap.
BeckEye: Use away, my darling! It can only bring joy.
brookem: Then? Sure. Now? … let me see what’s on the schedule. xo
fiona: That’s a great idea! I’d have superior gluts, methinks. All that kicking!
Jaime: Who’s judging? I sing your praises!
Deutlich: At least once a day, I am asked, “WHERE do you FIND this stuff??”
Ha! I’m glad Joey (we’re on a first name basis) was able to make your life better. And that bird is pretty damn funny. Thanks for visiting my blog!
I LOVE me some Snowball!
What a great way to end the week. Thanks lady!
snowball video?
BEST. VIDEO. EVER.
i can die now.
My eyes! My eyes! I think I’m going blind here!!!!! Stop the pregos!
These videos make me kind of glad I was relentlessly sheltered from the media as a child lol
OMG! That bird is toooo funny. The bobbing head is one thing but I seriously almost choked on my coffee this morning when he started stomping his feet. Thanks so much for sharing. I needed that!
Snowball just ROCKED my world.
And I sent the Prego Shuffle to BFF. I await her reply-vid with baited breath.
Can I just say: Tell Joey I said hi!
emma: You’re welcome, love
dmb5_libra: I know. I know.
Jules: It’s okay! Watch Snowball again! He makes everything okay.
Kyla Bea: I heard that.
SMB: You’re so welcome, lady! xoxo
FattyLumpa: I KNEW you would love those. Please forward the reply.
Mmmmmm…Joey Lawrence! Would be cool if he let his hair grow out again sometime just because.
He apparently shaved it for a movie role and liked it, so apparently ‘bald is in’… 
That Cockatoo cracked me up! The prego’s…not so much…
FUN way to end the week!
omfg…i just died from the prego shuffle. horrible!
Whoa! Joey!
I think this little blast from the past just made my day. Too funny.
Brilliant – I totally needed that, the Joey Lawrence is especially awesome… nothing, and I mean nothing can top good cheese!
Hey girl, just wanted to drop by and say I'm lovin your blog!
&& Thanks for commenting =]
I nominated you for the ‘Your Blog is Fabulous’ Award. Stop on by and pick it up!!!
I think I have a girl crush on you! You are truely a great writer and I think really in touch with the dimensions that make up humanity.
There are so many of us that enjoy the little things, the humor of life, the ability to make others laugh, and to reach out, even when we have not been afforded the same ourselves – innocent or notso.
Keep it up luvie – Live it, Love It!
You have got to warn a girl when your post requires taking certain precautions against wetting oneself. You know what I mean?
Thanks for making me smile today!
Haha Pretty funny!!! made my night after a few hours of cleaning!
Thanks for your comments! To be honest with you I felt a lot better after I said it out loud. You made a lot of good points!! thank you!
Joey Lawrence needs to make a comeback. Why are we wasting that talent?
I had to turn off the cockatoo. We had a few parrots when I was growing up and I’m scarred for life. Whenever I hear those screechy squacks – my DTS comes back and I can hear the clickity clack of little claws shuffling across the floor. Then I have to look for high ledges where I can cower while begging the phantom devil bird to go away and leave me alone.
As for the pregnant rappers…as someone who has been pregnant twice before, I am offended by how thin their legs are. This just contributes to the low self esteem of pregnant women everywhere. I for one, blame the media.
tag! shout out for ya in my latest post!
Stacy: I should have put Snowball last. The preggos are too much, me thinks
Maxie: GOTCHA.
Mary: Aaaaand you are so welcome.
Rox: That’s some goddamn gruyere.

Jules: YOU are fabulous! Thanks sweets!
Ms. Sadie: Girl crushes are all I’m allowed now, so I’ll throw that right back atcha. Thanks so much for your words- comments like these are why I do what I do. Oh wait… I’m not getting paid for this? WTF??
JPP: Ha- at least you were at home! I hope? And you are welcome
Ruggy13: Your post really touched me, darling. I’m glad we could help each other.
Narm: No shiz. Write him a letter.
Kate CH: I didn’t mean to traumatize you with Snowball! He didn’t mean it, promise.
cavy: Yayyy thanks babe! You are too good to me.
