Gail said…
I guess these would work but number 2 and 3 would bring me way down!!!!

Kyra Lennon said…
Ha, I'm with Gail! Numbers 2 and 3 would make me cry!

Having a piping hot cup of fresh coffee helps, when we're not thinking about penguins.

Have a great weekend, Carol!

Well isn't that peachy...now I'll be thinking about penguins all day. That may be a good thing. It will keep the image of me dancing naked in front of a mirror out of my mind.

Luanne G. Smith said…
Oh, no, I'm not dancing naked in front of the mirror. I mean, it might make other people laugh, but not me. :)

LR said…
Hilarious! No naked dancing for me either. :)

BECKY said…
OMG, Carol! Look how you have messed with our minds! I LOVE penguins, I think most people do because they're just so darn cute, especially when they w>ak<.
And what's with dancing in front the mirror naked??? It's not even very good WITH clothes on! :o

So...because now all I'll do is think about penguins? What a devious lady you are!

Okay, now all I can think about is penguins. Thanks a lot. :)

Have a great weekend.

I could dance naked in front of the mirror if I first poked my eyes out with hot irons.

I'm just saying.

And WHAT ABOUT THE PENQUINS?

Aaaw penguins. Of course that is all I am thinking about and lines from Dr. Seuss books. Happy Weekend!!

Penguins. There are times in the year when I suffer from Penguin Guilt. When it's summer here and I know all those penguins are standing in that rugby-type scrum huddling against the freezing Antarctic wind - yes, Penguin Guilt. Don't judge me.

How did you know I look like a penguin when I'm dancing in front of a mirror? Julie

Gail - Pretend you're three.

Kyra - Maybe I'm just weird.

But I must think about penguins. They make me so happy. :)

Aw, but penguins are cute . . .

Writing an online dating profile for a villain? Now that really sounds like fun. LOL.
February 24, 2012 at 5:26 PM
Carol Kilgore said…
Linda K - My pleasure :)

Teresa - LOL! Good payback for those creepy tarantulas.

Tracy Jo - Dr. Seuss will be happy :)

Julie - I won't tell.
February 24, 2012 at 6:07 PM

Oh Carol - especially the penguins. My mum (gone for years) told us kids with great excitement about seeing the 'penguins' when she and Dad visited Florida. We gulped and then scratched our heads and then laughed and asked, "pelicans, perhaps?"
February 25, 2012 at 9:14 AM
Carol Kilgore said…
Madeleine - Give it a try!

Jan - Penguins, pelicans, whatev, LOL. Great story :)

I like # 4 and #5. But I don't think #2 and #3 would work for me. It would make me more depressed. Reading Dr. Seuss would be good.

Janet - We're all different :) That's a very good thing.

Yikes, I don't know about dancing naked in front of a mirror... that might be even more depressing! :)

You've made me grin with this post. Thank you!

Mmmmm... Not sure about any of these... The penguin thing is nice though... Such lovely creatures.

Jennifer Shirk said…
Ha! Dancing naked in front of the mirror wouldn't beat my blahs. It would seriously depress me! LOL!

I love to make a new dessert recipe ot beat my blahs--which is why no dancing in front of the mirror. It's a vicious cycle. :)
February 26, 2012 at 2:27 PM
Carol Kilgore said…
Talli - Grins are super :)

Pat - Just focus on the penguins :)

Jennifer - Well, it's so bad in front of my mirror I have to laugh.

Mason Canyon said…
Another great Friday list to make me laugh. A group of us were vacationing in Florida one year and started a story about a penguin named Curtis being with us. One of the guys could throw his voice and we had people looking in trash cans and such for a penguin. And believe it or not, we weren't drinking anything stronger than black coffee. It was just one of those times when we all acted like teenagers again. Have a great week.

How oh how, do you come up with these lists?! Well however, thank you! (Not thinking about penguins, not thinking about penguins...)

Nas said…
Lol! At penguins. I've been hearing a lot about David Gandy AND penguins on twitter lately with pictures ;)
February 26, 2012 at 8:17 PM
Carol Kilgore said…
Mason - What a great vacation!

Conda - Not a clue. It's there in my head.

Nas - Pictures? Maybe I need to check it out :)

Julie Flanders said…
Just catching up with this list and I cracked up about Urban Dictionary, I laugh whenever I visit that site. Dancing in front of the mirror, naked or not, would horrify me LOL.

I'm happily thinking about penguins now. :D
