tonight I think I may have accidentally went to an A.A.R.P. meeting instead of Weight Watchers.
And the crazy thing is, I'm pretty sure it was hosted by a woman who was a good mix of Jiminy Glick's sister and King Friday's Aunt.
The highlight was when she was checking me in.
She said,
"So we'll have you fill this out, and then we'll get you on the... scale."
Then she held her hand to her mouth, and raised her eyebrows like she had just said a potty word.
You're eyebrows are raised right now, aren't they?
Oh admit it, I saw you.
So I'm like,
"Oh, are we not supposed to say words like scale and weight, out loud?"
I'm so naughty.
Saying words like that at a weight loss center.
And speaking of meetings, have you ever been to one where everyone is trying to be a comedian?
It's very...weird.
There's not a lot that will make me laugh out loud.
I think Shawn coined the phrase, "Comedy Snob", and it fits me.
That Penelope video I showed you?
I didn't laugh out loud.
Sure, I thought it was funny, but I didn't even chuckle.
These people tonight were hooting and howling, and I'm sitting there thinking, "Is something wrong with me? These people are trying to be funny, and I am not amused."
I'm pretty sure somethings wrong.
I'm either a snob, or I don't get it.
Maybe I need a therapist instead of an A.A.R.P. comedians meeting.
That, or I need to hurry up and lose weight.

Oooo ooo ooo! Me first!!
I will sign up at weight watchers with you (even though I will only gain cause I am weird like that). Then we can take our act on the road! Nobody can crack myself up like us.
We will start with my favorite one that always gets a giggle - drumm roll...saying the word "chocolate pudding, with our upper lip tucked up over our teeth and high into our gums....
We could then say our Jerry seinfeld Helllloooooo with out an upper lip and our eyes wide
Then we could swallow and imitate moms neck...
Then we could end it by a musical number done In parley n's vibrado....
Now that is funny!
When you just read that, did you put your lip up??
I must say...that video was hilarious for corns sake.
When you read that last sentence did you do it out loud in the correct corresponding martin short and howie voices?
I heard you.
You are like a peice of putty you're so impressionable. I know that's right. mh mmmmm.
Isn't that special?? (Dana Carvey voice.)
Those comments make me miss hanging out with my sisters. I put my lip up, and I don't even know your jokes.
It takes a lot for me to really laugh out loud.
oh, you Carson girls! ;)
We seriously all need to get together and have a good chuckle. I haven't laughed,ok, giggled, this much since I started blog-stalking you both! (it took my 4 passes just to type those words, my fingers just wouldn't cooperate!)
Yea, I know, I have a grammatical error above. I keep typing wrong and I just don't care. So I'm going to stop being a perfectionist and if I typo, then so be it!
See how good you are for me? Accepting what my fingers won't allow me to change and then just moving on.
Of course, now that I've accepted it, my fingers are typing perfectly. Dang those brain=waves clicking in. ok, see? the - or =. My figners won't allo wit anymore. ok, so now you see wbhat a sloppy typer i cam at night.
good night.
your crazy cuz
We watched "The Proposal" the other night and I didn't laugh once... well, maybe once.
It's called "Humor Refinement." You're very refined.
Those WW peeps really do laugh at almost anything.
Don't you think a lot of people laugh when they're uncomfortable--like when someone is TRYING to be funny???
I do love to laugh, and you make me laugh.
I am not really anonymous, just non technical. Its just me calamity
You just aren't getting the comment numbers this post deserves and this is all about your first ww mtg!!!
So here is another way to go and keep the posts coming. I am sure we are going to squeeze the funny out of ww. I really think you should introduce yourself next time without an upper lip.
The tide is gonna turn and the funny is going to kick it up a notch.
By the way you make a rockin librarian. The flaming tamtrum of death is hillarious!! I think you should sport a bun.
On your head.
With your hair.
Heidi. Let's partay!!!
I am SO predictable -- I raised my eyebrow AND my lip.
Good luck with WW. I will think of you when I go next week. And when they talk about choosing healthy foods that are filling, just remember to avoid "Hot Pockets" and maybe you can smile about something that is really funny, instead of pretend funny.
Comedy snob?
Um, if you did not laugh out loud at penelope then I am pretty sure you are a comedy snob because I laughed out loud both times I saw it.
I feel that way when I watch jimmy fallon. I laugh at conan and leno, but jimmy should go back to snl or something.
I keep trying to think of something funny to say, and then the words "comedy snob" keep haunting me.
:D
I am more of a smiler. I rarely laugh out loud unless I am nervous...then I laugh like an idiot.
Oooh, maybe all those WW people were just nervous!
Liz, you made me laugh.
thanks for the help today!
Seriously.
And as I said to you in person today, I am very proud of you making the first step to WW. It can be daunting, kind of like my garage. But like you said, a little bit at a time and it'll get done.
So keep up the good work! And good job on not letting Emma sabotage you with those pink-frosted cookies! :) sorry I bought those; I forgot you started it last night, plus I assumed the boys would be coming with you and so I got treats for the 3 kiddos to keep out of our way! :)
Be back. I gotta go find my reading glasses........
It wasn't so much an eyebrow raise as it was a squint.
I have been in meetings like that, where I look around and I think, "Why is everyone laughing?"
I would love to sit in a meeting like that with you.
I you were doing the talking hten they really know what comedy is.
I found my reading glasses. Even squinting didn't help me.
Hawt..paw-kiiiit!
yeah...I just said that. Good job on your adventure.
They think "scale" is a potty word. The bar for funny can't be set too high either.
You just described our ward council meeting yesterday. Unfortunately, losing weight won't get me any closer to escaping it.
