I don't pretend to be who/what I'm not. I will be honest here unless I publish under the category "This could be news," which is 99% fiction and a wee bit sarcastic. ;-) I want readers who come here to have as much fun as I do. Not all subjects can be fun, but most can be funny if I do my job right ;-) My inner child is reflected in my logo and will change at a moment's notice.

First Guest Post of the Year!

Our first guest post!!  Thanks to anonymous for sending it.  😉

Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
I eat mop…

I am ashamed that it took me a good 5 minutes to get it. This is how slow my brain function is now, while I fight off a chest cold.

Even though I “get it” I don’t think it is a giggle – more of a groan. However, because the number of entries was lower than I had hoped (1), anonymous is the hands-down winner for this week.

Congratulations!  I hope you will “come out of the closet” in the near future, and share more with us.

I will be telling your joke to my grandchildren next time I see them. I’m pretty sure they will giggle – a lot!!

G&B Thursday

HappyNewYear

So…  This day is it for 2015.  Yawn.

Another year in which I did not finish my novel.  Oh, it has over the NaNoWriMo 50,000 words, but it is a long way from being in any sort of shape to send to a publishing house.

I know it’s my fault. This fall I was so busy with other distractions that it sat, lonely in my office, waiting. Whenever I tried to work on the thing, I would run into something else I needed to research.  Grrrr!  I am tired of research after 3 years, but I want the story to be perfect.  Is that too much to ask?

Probably.

OK. That was the Bits.  Now for the Giggles (I think they are funny anyway…)

New Years Eve is the only acceptable time to wear body glitter without being mistaken for a stripper.

Dear God, my prayer for 2016 is a FAT bank account and a THIN body. Please don’t mix it up like you did this year.

Did you know that McDonald’s is offering the “Obama Happy Meal?”  Order anything you want. And the guy behind you has to pay for it.

 

See ya Next Year!

New & Improved! Giggles & Bits

~ JodiLea

Giggles & Bits Thursdays will continue into the new year. However, Thursdays posts will no more be “Giggles & Bits” – In 2016, this column will be “G&B”, standing for “Giggles & Bits” of course, without all that annoying typing.

That being explained, I am trying something new next year:  Guest Posts!

This means, dear readers, I need YOUR help. I hate admitting this, but there are days when I just don’t feel funny. Sarcasm usually carries me through, but I am dealing with hormones and a cold, so I’m not even in the mood to hear funny stories, let alone pass them along.

My deepest apologies.

But wait!  There’s MORE!

Now YOU have a chance to be featured on Not Pretending (to be sane)! Share a funny story from your life, or let it all out in a rant (very therapeutic.) If a photo or poem gives you the giggles, please submit that  🙂  If you are shy – check the “remain anonymous” box and your identity will be kept private.
