Would somebody give me a hand? I have just had the most wonderful, funny, smart and witty lady hand me a big green painting in the hallway right outside the break room. She just handed the thing to me and said she wanted me to have it to hang up in here sumwarz.
Yes...yes...I like where you decided to put it. I think it looks good over there on the right, don't you?
The hilarious and generous lady's name is Tarja and she writes the humor blog, "The Flying Chalupa" (click here to visit that crazy girl). Have you met her yet? She may still be in the hallway. Go meet her! I'll wait here. Well, doggone it, son, you are going to have to get up faster than that if you want to meet her and, believe me, you do!
Okay, hold on, readers. Hold on, there. Hooooold your horses. There is a note attached here that says that I am supposed to name 10 things I like and to pass this big green poster on to 10 other blogs. Well, lawduhmercy. You all don't want to know 10 things I LAHK, but I'll tell you real quick like because it says I MUST do just that riiiiiiight here.
#1 A good bowl of cereal- Judge me, if you must, but a bowl of Fruity Pebbles, Frosted Flakes, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Oh's or Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs will put me in a good mood right up until the milk runs out (read about how the level of milk supply in this house directly correlates with my mooooooood here).
#2 Book stores- I wish I could set up a hammock right smack dab in the middle of the store and have Barnes & Noble employees trained like Pavlov's dogs. Hear the bell? Ask me what book I want. Hear the bell ring three times? Get me a Chai Tea Frappucino from Starbucks. Hear the bell ring 100 times? My aromatherapy candle caught the dang hammock on fire!!! HELP MEH!!
#3 Refills- I REALLY like the anxiety, anticipation and joy surrounding the refill of my thimble full of Coke on an airplane the most.
#4 Funny Jokes- Especially yours...
#5 Song lyrics- Knowing all of them AND catching people "singing" along to songs they don't know. I REALLY love that and am guilty of it on a daily basis. It's funnier when I see you do it, though. Mos def. I also love really dumb song lyrics, which you can find in many country songs. Lyrics like, "Dollar off of ground round, hey cut that coupon out! That's what I like about Sundays..."
#6 Cookie samples at the mall- HAHAHAHAHAHA!! I'm a genius, Great American Cookie Company!!! That one morsel is all I wanted and you gave it to me for FREE! My sweet craving has now been met with that one, free bite. You will get none of my money! Hahahah...hold on... Oh, son, do you REALLY want that mini M&M cookie with the cream in the middle?? Really??
#7 Ms. Pac-Man- I could sit for a looooong time in front of a Ms. Pac-Man game and play the life out of that sucker. I wrote a whole post about it here. I get really irritated with slow games, too, because if it doesn't feel like I'm playing the game circa 1983, I don't want to play it at all, friend.
#8 Waiting Rooms- If I'm by myself and have a fully charged iPhone, my current book (which is The Help right now) and an endless supply of People & US magazines, I looooooooove waiting!
#9 Veggie Tales- I truly think this is one of the wittiest, most clever children's show on TV. One of my favorite lines: "You're not going to sing are you? Couldn't you just play the harp and I'll throw things at you?"
#10 Time with my Boys- I like this most of all! I love talking to my husband and my two sons, ages 2 & 6. They all make me laugh daily. I couldn't have a "10 things I like" list and not include them. I'd feel like I was half-grub worm, half-slug.
The other part of this deal is that I am supposed to pass this award on to 10 other bloggers. I realize that the people I may be giving this award to may not dabble in the awards area, but that's okay! Not sure if guys are into this sort of thing...or even all the women... Still, these are blogs that I really enjoy reading and some are also fairly new to me. Check 'em out!

Congratulations you versatile blogger you!! Well deserved!
Cookie samples and ms. pacman? we are so meant for each other. haha. I'll give your green lady a looksy. Only 'cause you asked me nicely.
Ms Pacman was a awesome game back in the day.
I kept saying to myself, "Self, why isn't Kelley's Breakroom coming up on your blogroll? Why do I have to type it into a google search with my telephone's teeny tiny buttons everytime I want to read it, when I KNOW I followed this hilarious blog AT LEAST two months ago?!? FRAK!!"
Well, because I did NOT follow you as I thought I had. I blame the phone's itsy bitsy keys. And my lack of attention to details.
I am a follower now. Geesh.
Playing too much ms. PAC man is probably the reason why I am cross eyed and never had andate in highschool. Kidding. I am not cross eyed and I was a whore in highschool. Kidding. Sort of.
Wait, where are these cookie samples?
Congratulations! I see a few of my favorite bloggers on your list. I'm going to have to check out some of your recs. I too enjoy a quiet waiting room with a full charged I phone & beauty/tabloid magazines
Congrats Kelley! Thanks for the sweet comment! You are welcome to stop by my garden anytime (even if it is only in the blog-o-sphere!)
I'm honored. Thanks so much for including me! Your break room is always a fun, hilarious, and exciting time. I just don't know why we didn't connect sooner.
I love your list of favorites. It's worthy, in fact, of my list of top 10 favorites! :o)
xoRobyn
I love me a good bowl of cereal. My favorite is Go Power...that would be Cheerios to those of you too young to remember. I even eat cereal as a meal. Beats spending time cooking. Yeah, I'm so like a man. Anything easy.
I'm guilty of singing along and then not knowing some of the words. You would get a kick out of it.
Here's a joke for ya: Man sees a coupon in a magazine for Babies R Us that says "Pull out and save $600". He replies, "hell if I had pulled out, I would have saved a lot more than $600".
I am calmly reading through your top ten chuckling at what you wrote and being thankful that we haven't known each other as blogger long enough....then WHAM!! On the list "Monkey Man". I think - Oh shit - (I mean) DANG, now I have to write one of these and on the week I have a colonoscopy....could be interesting.
I love, love, love your blog, Kelley! You are versatile in a way that combines split leaps and multiple personalities, that combines karaoke of the written word and the goofiness of a Christmas elf on crack! Those were all compliments, by the way. I wouldn't be reading you otherwise. :)
Congrats again!
Chest bump, a high five, and a karate chop!
Love,
The Flying Chalupa
Um, Kelley, I believe the line is
"twenty-five cents off of grouuunnnndddd rooouuunnnddd, Baby, cut that coupon OUT!"
Just sayin'
Veggie Tales sounds amazing.
I wish we had it in the UK.
*sulks*
Ali, that cracks me up!! I got the lyrics wrong when laughing about how people get the lyrics wrong! Ha!! Thanks for setting me straight. :)
Wow, I'm not sure what to say!? Thank you, Kelley and the check is in the mail. I am honored to be on this list, which is better than most lists I wind up on.
I love that Chalupa says you are like a Christmas Elf on crack. Well said, from another very funny lady!
Congratulations!
And I get a kick out of catching people singing the wrong lyrics.
Kelley - I could eat cereal for every meal if I didn't have kids, and a bowl of cereal in a waiting room, well that is just Pure heaven!
Oh My Gaaaawwwwwgggggg!!! Did you REALLY just include me in THIS list? I feel so humbled and would like to thank.... *cue the awards music* :-)
Kelley! New blogospher buddy! Thank you for sharing your list of 10 with us. I LOL at a few (hitting close to home!):
Isn't cereal a food group? Could eat it(especially the PB version) multiple times a day. Do I need to go to CEA (Cereal Eaters Anonymous)?
Perhaps... As for milk. Haven't read your post yet, but in our house, I'm the only milk drinker and we best better NOT run out. *love*the*stuff.
Goes very well with....cookie samples! Yep. Love those, too. Just right.
And Ms. Pac Man?? You're giving yourself up, girlfriend. Child o' the 80's???
Could go on and on about your list - we could be sisters!! :-)
Grazie, Merci, Gracias for tagging me! I'm looking forward to meeting your office mates, too... their blog titles look very interesting ~ a nice walk down a different hallway than the one to the workout room! (And if they've made the cut in your world, they've GOT to be worth the click!)
I see The Flying Chalupa on twitter a lot... will check her out, too!
*hugs* from Orlando!
Congrats on the award!!
I LOVE Veggie Tales--especially all the silly songs with Larry. Oh, where is my hairbrush? LOL
Thank you!
Do I get a better parking space now?
I might as well tell you while I'm here that nothing in the world makes me happier than to know that a few people think I'm sometimes, occasionally funny. Thank you for the reassurance!
Ahhh, book stores. There just aren't many places happier than those.
And I loved The Help. Yes, that book could make even a waiting room enjoyable.
I never got a bite of a cookie! Gosh darn it!:)
the best moments are with our kids....they are by FAR the funniest people eva!:)
Great, great list. I'm with you on the cereal. But my thing is that I can't have the same kind for more than two days in a row or I get sick of it.
And Mr. Pacman is soooooo much better than Mrs. What - she thinks she's all cool with that bow. Mr. Pacman needs no bow. He is just 100% pure cool.
Yay you! Versatile indeed.
But waiting rooms, really? Really?
I am with you on the free cookie tastings and the cereal. Bookstores too. But the free cookie tastings... Actually any kind of free tastings... Drop me into a Whole Foods on a Saturday afternoon and I'm like a 85-year-old who broke out of a retirement community in Fort Lauderdale— I can not get enough of the free samples.
I remember that Bazooka gum! It was 5 cents at the register.
I miss it.

Comments make me feel like I'm not talking to the wall. Don't get me wrong. I love talking to walls. Some of my best friends are walls. Still, I like hearing from you, so thanks!
