In an effort to get away from my neurotic worrying and my obsessive, well, obsessing, I’m in search of some Funny. I seem to have misplaced mine and I’m hoping that some wise reader will be kind of enough to find it and direct me toward it.
You can blindfold me first, if you like, for kicks, or you can take me by the hand and sit me down and pet my hair until I stop whimpering, then take me to my Funny. Truth be told, I don’t really care how I get there, I just need to get there.
I’ve apparently lost my ability to think independently, so this is where you come in: I would love it if you could either suggest a meme for me or a post topic that might bring the Funny back. So give me a little loving here and help me out, will you? Please? Much gratitude and praise are sure to follow…

Hmmm…this is a tough one. What about trying to find something really ridiculous that you have done or said or caught Little Man doing? It seems like kids are forever saying and doing ridiculous things….. Or an embarrassing moment, perhaps? I don’t know, maybe I am the wrond ggirl to guide you. I’ll give it some thought. I hope you feel happier…or funnier, whichever. BTW, if it makes you feel any better, I think you are really, really funny!

Absolutely Bananas posts a weekly writing prompt. You could give that a try. Last time I was stumped I wrote about being uninspired…it was about as lame as it sounds, but I think it happens to everyone.

Perhaps you can write about the stupid (funny) things you did in middle school, high school and college(post high school.) Sometimes a trip down memory lane is helpful.

I have a sneaking suspicion that with a decent picture or two and some witty commentary, you might have what it takes to be the next Van Pan Fan.

Hmmm… First, let me say you are quite funny! What about just looking through your pictures, choosing a few funny ones, and making a few quips about those? Or MrsBear0309 always has good ideas! Just copy her!
I’ll keep thinking. I’m always trying to find ideas myself!

Those little stick things you made with LM’s toys were pretty funny. I actually LOL’d on those.
Or you could do a post about your bra. Chee is currently obsessed with bras. Who’s wearing one, who’s not. What color is it. She asks everyone she meets if they are wearing a bra. Except men. She informs men that only girls wear bras. I think Chee would be very interested in knowing about your bra should you decide to write a post about it. I’m SURE it would be hilarious.
Oh, thank you for the award. A follow up post will be forthcoming… How very cool of you!!

Patty, if you think I am really funny, you must be high. Or drunk.
Or just really, really nice.
Mrs.Bear, thanks so much for that link! I’ll be sure to check it out SOON!
Dad, I’m coming over to check out your blog. Get your robe on!
Elizabeth, I should actually take a few pics solely for the purpose of blogging them. Kind of like I do with my scrapbooking, only easier!
GF, the problem is that my bras are so freaking big I don’t think there’d be room for them on this page. I’d have to shrink a couple on purpose or something. If I decide to do this, I promise that Chee will be the first to know!
Dawn, I likey! i think I will definitely do this one at some point. thanks!

I need to find mine, too. Do you think my funny is in the same place as yours? Can we look together?

I was wondering where you were! Stopped over to see,and low and behold, no funny? That’s bad, girl, real bad. To find mine, I look in the mirror and it doesn’t take long. yellow teeth, gray hairs, chin hair…oh my word, if I don’t laugh I would seriously need some pills. Hope you find your funny soon, in the meantime, read my expulsion story. Don’t know quite how I did on the funny, but I TRIED.

[...] asked earlier in the week if anyone had any suggestions to help my Get My Funny On. Many of you had suggestions, but honestly, some of them were just too much work. For now, anyway. [...]
