There are a lot more worthy observations about the weekend that I could include about love, peace, faith, family and the true meaning of Christmas, but I chose the two below for this blog today. I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! If you didn't, e-mail me at kelleysbreakroom@gmail.com and let's talk that mess out.
#1 Older people cannot pronounce most words in the STAR WARS movie series. Surrounding discussions over my 6-year-old son's new Star Wars bedding and TONS OF STAR WARS STUFF were heard "RD22" (translation: R2D2), "Attatat" (translation: AT-AT) and "Bobbahfett" (translation: Boba Fett). Goodness gracious. I'm going to go ahead and offer them free tuition to the local community college course I don't teach (because it doesn't exist but totally should) called, "Introduction to Star Wars: A Course About the Force".
P.S. In case you are wondering, my little guy probably thought they were wrestling. My MIL and I both laughed QUITE A BIT. My 6-year-old came in and interrogated us about what in the HECK we thought was so funny. I am sure we said something about the squirrels telling knock-knock jokes (more like knock-knock-you-up jokes).

On another note, I received an e-mail over the weekend from the website, "First Class Blogger Award", notifying me that I had received an award from them. Their website is just beginning, is comprised of several bloggers and describes it's aim as being to recognize blogs that they believe should have a larger following. Their first installment of awards included mine and seven other blogs on a variety of topics. I am definitely going to check the rest out and I encourage you to do the same (click here)!Thanks, FCBA!

Gotta love when the Discovery Channel happens right in your own backyard!
Did you take that time to explain the birds and the bees to him? *howling* I think I would have been laughing so hard I would have choked.
Congrats on the award! Well deserved.
The ONLY time I EVER see animals mate is when I have just drawn my sons attention to them. Seriously. What is THAT about? It's almost as if the animals are WANT to be watched. And by KIDS no less.
Little woodland perverts.
**I HATE WHEN I MAKE TYPOS IN COMMENTS**
No "are" before WANT above. Ugh.
Nothing says Happy Birthday Baby Jesus, like two squirrels having wild sex.
Whoaaaaa wait...you can't just end a good squirrel humping story with a "Hey I got a blog award note"...Kelley, we all know you're awesome...I know you're awesome but I need to know if your Mother In-law had a stroke witnessing that. And what about your boy? Didn't he wonder what they were doing? How'd you explain that?
Kelleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey...
Hmm no one ever mispronounces star wars stuff in my house.
Ha! Awesome, nothing like a little live Animal Planet.
New follower - will be back to the breakroom on a REGULAR Basis - good stuff!!!
Good stuff. I was stuck in the post-Christmas blues, so this was great for me to consider.
New follower, I'll be back for more!
The Survival Mama
Congrats on the award!
Happy Holidays
Ha! That's a guy for ya!!! The girl is hanging on by a thread and the guy is still going for it...yep!
Congrats on your award!!
Star Wars??? Yawn. As to squirrel sex...our backyard must be the squirrel porn set because they are out there going at it day and night. I was thinking about installing a little "jimmy" dispenser, but I have never seen a squirrel carrying a wallet to put one in.
Funny about the squirrel, I just witnessed Squire Love while driving to work. They were just on the roadside having fun! Of course I didn't point that out to a 2 years old, that would be crazy! Hope you had a happy holiday!
Wow. That squirrel story is inspiring. I mean, think of the movies they could make about that boundless love. We don't have "squirrels" wrestling in our front yard... just homeless people.
Funny post.
Who knew male squirrels were such wild animals?
Congratulations, first class lady. xo
Hey! Congrats on your very cool award!
And the squirrels story is exactly why you deserve it ;)
In reading through the comments here, the squirrels are way more popular of a topic than R2D2. I thought the squirrels were funny too. I'm sure _it_ sometimes looks like people are wrestling too. ;)
Congrats! That is one of the first of Tom's awards!! That is so awesome! You so deserve it. I always enjoy coming here to get a good laugh.
Sorry about the squirrel incident. That happened to me at the zoo with elephants. There was a mass evacuation of parents with kids from the exhibit. ha ha
You think I have original posts? Honey you take the cake with the horny squirrel. BTW...made you blog of the day.
OMG! Frisky squirrels!
I love how the man-squirrel was oblivious to the girl-squirrel's dilemma!
I will be laughing at this all day.
I'm trying to squeeze in some comments while my daughter watches her morning PBS cartoons. She just looked over at your smoking squirrel. Thanks to you I had to lie and say he's working on a lollipop so we don't have to have our whole anti smoking conversation pre-9am!
What's your issue with the word "lovers?" Would you prefer sex addicts?
Congrats on being selected for the First Class Blogger Award. You absolutely deserve it and all the fame and fortune you can endure!
I'm so happy for you Kelley, you are one of my super-duper favourites!
Being married to a SW fanatic (ad nauseum...LOL), I LOVE this post. Yep ~ course needed. Oh, and sign me up. I said I'm married to the fanatic. Didn't join The Club. :)
As for the squirrels...I about wet my pants laughing. We have a gazillion squirrels in our yard and always look for the action. Eeeewww... TMI. Really, kidding. But we do like to watch the chase. Seriously (not) - sounds like Mr. Squirrel had quite a Christmas(!).
p.s. Congrats on the award. YOU def deserve to be the among the first to grace their site! :):)
I came across your blog through mommyblogs and R2D2 immediately caught my attention. You're right, most adults cannot pronounce Star Wars words unless you're my 37 year old Star Wars lovin' husband. If you ever get that class together, I'm sure he'll teach it free of charge :)
Congratulations on the blog award!
OMG that is hilarious about the squirrels.
Congrats on the award you SO deserve, and at least it ws squirrels. In my yard it's more likely to be Wild Turkey, Deer and Groundhogs.. afterall, they took up residence under our porch with their love children....
Congrats on the award! You deserve it, lady! And dude? I totally hate the word, "lovers" too. It is skeevy. Just for that, I love your blog even more. :)
My little boy used to call R2D2 RT-doo-T. After you've heard it (mis)pronounced that way, it's hard to go back. I'd take your Star Wars class just for the name, though!
Once at the zoo we happened upon giant tortoises, and all that was missing from the porn audio was the song "Let's Get It On". They were very vocal about their enjoyment!
Congratulations on the well-deserved award!
That squirrel didn't get a nut - she got two. And he didn't even take her out for dinner.
Squirrels today. Sigh.
You're awarded out lately...like Tupac.
Any blog featuring mating squirrels deserves an award of some kind. That just stands to reason.

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!
