Dogged Out

I can’t post another dog picture today. I’m definitely dogged out for the moment. I was flipping through my camera today and all I saw was dog after puppy after dog after… BLAH! It’s exhausting!

No dogs for the blog today.

I have a super funny story for you this evening. It all has to do with…

Yesterday evening the husband and I had a fantastically long phone conversation. Typically when he calls me there are other people in the room with him, but not last night! Conversations are just a little more personal and intimate when you are not sharing them with 15 people, yes?

We joked about people in our neighborhood, discussed weekend plans, and dreamed about being together. We laughed, oh man, did we laugh!

Just so we are on the same page — Alex is a little trickster. He comes home hours before he says he’ll be there just so he can catch me without make-up on and mouth full of peanut butter (true story). He routinely tells me that he’s going to be late and when I get home from work, abracadabra, he’s already there!

I, on the other hand, cannot keep a surprise for the life of me. I buy a gift for Alex and a blurt it out as soon as I get home just due to sheer excitement. I bought Alex an iPad and I told him about it before it was even delivered. You know, oh well! It’s the thought that counts right? And it was just as surprising when I told him about it than when he actually had it in his hand – RIGHT???

SO… anyway! Last night we had a fantastic talk, I watched Dexter, wrote a little posty post, and headed to bed.

Sidenote: When Alex goes away he leaves his phone home with me. I let him know if he gets calls/texts from friends and I return calls to anyone trying to get in touch with us about home repairs.

I went to charge his phone last night and noticed that he had a missed call. It was from some weirdo number and apparently they left a voicemail.

Clearly, my curiosity was flowin’. I HAD TO LISTEN TO IT. (Remember this is on Alex’s phone…) So here was the voicemail in the most serious voice I had ever heard:

“Hey me, it’s me. Give me a call later. Bye.”

I instantly recognized that voice that I love so much! I died laughing and proceeded to listen to the voicemail 5 or 6 times. I followed it up with a hilarious e-mail to the husband applauding him on his sneakiness. We talked for almost an hour earlier that evening and never once made any inclination of his little message. If it was me I would have blabbed my head off as soon he picked up the phone.

Maybe it’s one of those you had to be there kind of things, but I certainly got a kick out of it!

Have you experienced any good trickery lately??

Funny Google Terms

If you’re not a blogger, you should know that I can actually view what you type in to Google that brings you to my page. Most people who search for my blog through a search engine know what they’re looking for. Usually, searchers Google something like “life with a crazy pup” or “crazy pup blog.” A few of you know me in real life and Google my name. It’s a little scary that that’ll get you here as well.

More often than not though, you all Google super funny things that miraculously land you in my lap. Whenever I check my home page and see a funny Google term, I stand up and announce it to all my co-workers (because I’m really secret and hush hush that I blog at work). We all get a good giggle from them. I have hundreds to go through since I started my blog last February, so I want to share with you some of the best.

Can you believe that somehow – someone Googled these terms and wound up here at Life with a Crazy Pup?!

Funny Google terms over the last year (my comments in italics):

  • Crazy Yoga (15 people Googled this, whaaaa?)
  • Students Sweating Cartoons while Testing (How do you sweat a cartoon? Those are some big freaking pores!)
  • You’re a Bad Banana(So am I. It’s okay. Let’s start a recovery group.)
  • Cycling Dog (Hunter has many talents. Cycling is not one of them)
  • Pile of Hair on Floor (Ew.)
  • Comcast (We’ve had our disagreements, Comcast! Give me back my OnDemand!)
  • Free Pictures of Snowy the Surprise Puppy (Maybe we need a new hobby?)
  • Unknown Pleasures (Better left unknown.)
  • I’m very Amazed (You too? Awesome!)
  • Grandad Pushing Bike to Work (This is strangely depressing)
  • Grandad Sitting on Suns (Aaaand this is just weird)
  • The Big Dudes (Who doesn’t like a big dude? Unless they mean, then they can go back to their biker bar.)
  • Do not even wish him Merry Christmas + No Contact + Dating (This person just sounds mean! Everyone deserves being wished a Merry Christmas)
  • I saw what you did and I know who you are (Are you the person that drove past my house and screamed my name out of the window. Super Creepy.)
  • Early days of Steelers (Steelers are bangin’. No questions asked)
  • Embarrassment Story – Diarrhea (I’m fairly sure that I have never divulged my embarrassing bathroom stories on here. I could be wrong though.)
  • Advic 4 bein crazy in life (My advice: Learn how to spell. Read a couple books. Stop drinking so much. Have some dang confidence and stop getting with guys that treat you like crap)
  • Why don’t my dogs have black noses? (I wish I knew honey. Oh, I wish I knew. Whatever you do — DO NOT WebMD!)
  • I like undressing when I’m alone (Good for ya! I was happier not knowing)
  • Crazy Life Maniacs (I live a rather calm life. You found the wrong site, although I’m happy you stopped by!)
  • Shall we open our birthday presents from work colleagues at work (Probably not. I get anxiety opening presents in front of people. My vote: No!)
  • Buttons (Oh do I have a story about buttons!)

Which one is your favorite??

If you are a blogger, what are some funny terms that people have Googled to get to your page?

Thanks for the entertainment folks. Check back in later on for a fun recipe and more wedding recaps! Is there anything you can’t wait to hear about? Let me know! I’d love to write about it :)

One of those days.

For some reason I was pretty pumped up for today. Whether it’s because I’m wearing a new outfit I just got over the weekend, that it’s Wednesday and we had our weekly bagel breakfast at work, or I’m still running off a post-work out high – I’m not quite sure. All I know is that I was feelin’ it when I got to work today.

That is until I took my first phone call.

80% of my calls today have been people who have been absolutely fuming. With the way the economy is today, it’s completely realistic to say that a lot of people are going through some very difficult financial times. I’m very aware of this and spend a lot of time each day discussing financial options with people to make the heavy burden a little lighter. My level of patience has exponentially grown since I’ve started working here. I’ve had people curse, scream, cry, and hang up on me – but don’t worry, that’s pretty rare. Not today though!

Another thing I’ve learned from this experience is not to take your anger out on people who are not responsible for the problem. For example: someone’s package was not delivered due to the postal service’s mess up. All of the sudden this was my fault and I need to find out why the USPS did not deliver it on time. Hmm. Last time I checked all I do is sit at a desk – on the phone all day – and am not responsible for the USPS. Can you tell it’s been a rough day?

Thanks for letting me get my frustration out!

Let’s move on:

I wanted to give you a random list of things you probably don’t know me.

Here it goes!

  • I’m absolutely terrified of slugs
  • I used to be able to sleep all day – but now I’m definitely a morning person
  • I’m a home body and would rather stay in with friends than go out
  • My dream job as a kid was to be a meteorologist due to my love for storms
  • I’m rarely ever cold
  • I take vitamins every day
  • I have an obsession with Burt’s Bees Lip Balm and constantly put it on
  • I’m not a big fan of driving – Alex is definitely the driver in our relationship
  • If I could quit my job and open a bakery – I would do it in a heart beat
  • My biggest regret is losing touch with friends over the years
  • I hate when people curse
  • And drag their feet
  • You’ll never see me chewing gum – I hate it!

Daily Funnys

My cousin Mindy recently starting working at the same company as me. All of the sudden this thought passed through me head – “hey! we should be emailing all day so I can bug you!” (or something along those lines) Today she sent me a hilarious email (which was very much appreciated considering the morning I had). It’s one of those emails that have cut outs from magazines and newspapers featuring ridiculous headlines. Here are a few of them:

Can you read it?

Really?

Hmmm. Okay

Happy Hump Day! I’m getting a pedicure tonight with Alex (girl Alex by the way :) !! I’m excited!)
