Today? You’re Dead To Me
I don’t know about you, but this is how I try to start my day. At least after the first twelve cups of coffee.
But there are days that pick me up by the red highlights and tosses me around like a mouse being thrashed to death by an alley cat.
And I want to do this to the day:
Then, someone does something that normally would make me giggle – or at worst roll my eyes – and I overreact like this (sorry Denny):
As we all know, a good friend will call you on your bullshit. And when she does (thank you Denny) I’m as embarrassed as if I’d just gotten caught doing this:
But it’s all good, because that helps me get to that place where I can do this:
OK, I’m not gonna lie. I can do that because of a little help from this:
and good friends who commiserate with me like this (thanks Robin and Kim):
Finally, I beat that awful day in a dance off.
Then, I wake up and it’s a new day. Damn it, I will own it. You will too.

Hi Avery. I guess the first thing I should do is thank Denny
…wish i knew why
Feb 05, 2013 @ 09:44:55
Pick a reason, they’re all good.

Can I please be Phoebe?! Seriously, thank you for this. I *needed* this. Have a great day, Flynnie. And if you don’t…call me. I’ll be your Phoebe

You can only be Phoebe if you sing Smelly Cat. Really loud. In public. While wearing a mic. I think that’s a brilliant idea for our next girls night out.
Feb 05, 2013 @ 11:16:07
I think it’s brilliant that YOU think I won’t do this. Have we met?

I will roll the video. This is exactly why God invented cellphone cameras.

Avery,
What a riot! I love when I start my day off laughing. I’m sorry that it seems to be at your expense. LOL.
Great pics. If you’re ever having a bad day, I’m RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD!!!! Call me.
Hope all yours todays and all your tomorrows are the bomb. In a good way.

I should have called you – put then you would have had to roll me home at 2 a.m. Wait, that sounds like fun!
Feb 05, 2013 @ 08:34:10
Love this!!!
Feb 05, 2013 @ 09:47:40
You just like the shirtless pics.
Feb 05, 2013 @ 08:39:48
Those pictures definitely say ‘Good Morning!!’
Feb 05, 2013 @ 09:44:12
The Rock says good morning – that’s for sure.
Feb 05, 2013 @ 09:40:00
This brought an early morning chuckle! But what’s an “Alexander-like day”?
Feb 05, 2013 @ 09:43:52
There is a great children’s book called Alexander and the Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. It is a favorite of the Flynn kids. Definitely worth checking out – even as a grown up.

Hey, I know Denny — she rocks! And so does your post. LMAO.
Feb 05, 2013 @ 11:37:36
Any time my despair causes your giggles, I am happy.
Bwahahahahahahaha

Sometimes you just have to laugh because it hurts too much to cry.
Not only that, it makes people think you’re a bit ‘unwell’…they tend to give you a wide berth.
Have a great day no matter what! Raising a double cup of Vanilla Bean Latte to you, Avery!

“Makes people think you’re a bit ‘unwell’” – This may be my new favorite quote. Love it Loni!
Feb 05, 2013 @ 12:06:22
It’s great to be able to laugh through those days. ‘Unwell’ is a good term.
Love ya, Sis!
Feb 05, 2013 @ 14:02:46
Hope today is going better for you!
Feb 05, 2013 @ 14:40:47
It’s full of win, girlie!
Feb 05, 2013 @ 15:47:46
Avery, this is awesome and hilarious, as always. Next time you are feeling down, just think about how awesomely hilarious you are. Big hugs!
Feb 05, 2013 @ 18:07:49
Really, all I need is to keep that gif of Steve, Jon and Stephen handy and life will be perfect.
Feb 05, 2013 @ 20:17:55
Very funny stuff, Avery. Your sense of humor really comes through!
Feb 06, 2013 @ 09:36:04
How in the world did I miss this yesterday? You silly girl you:)! Very funny.
