The prep work...

One Very funny prank...

This is another practical joke story from the king of practical jokes... But this time I was in on the planning end not the receiving end.... lol

The Background:

My friend Stephanie came over to my house to use my treadmill since it was to cold outside. She was use to running outside and to my knowledge had never run on a treadmill before. I blindly assumed that she knew what she was doing... However, if you are not used to running on a treadmill, you should go a little slower than you are used to running with your own motivation... Stephanie, had my machine cranked to 8 mph when "something happened. . . . I don't know what. . . ." she fell!!! She acquired nine very colorful, very painful bruises. Now there is now way I'm going to let this ride... :-)

Soooooo when this opportunity came up a few weeks later, I could not let it pass by... Daryl Quesenberry called me up to be the inside contact. The original night of this joke was Monday night but the mission was aborted. So Tuesday night it was the official night of the joke. I was in Stephanie's room talking with her and another friend, Susie. When she received a phone call from a number that she didn't know... Mysterious.... LOL The voice on the other end of the told Stephanie to go outside the girls dorm. (hopefully I will be able to post the video of the discovery of the gift soon)

A set up picture....

Upon arriving outside she stumbled upon the gift... Laughing hysterically the whole time we discovered the Washburn MANUAL stressmill.... Which was equipped with the latest redneck safety devices: torso, knee and shin, posterior, elbow, hand, head and chin protectors. Oh there were emergency guidelines, phone number lists and a first aid kit... Did I mention the landing pad (an inflatable twin mattress) which was positioned behind the stress mill just to break a possible tumble. There was also a device that you grip with your teeth or your gums... whichever you have... and it calls 911 for you if you fall...

It was a very funny prank and no one was hurt physically or emotionally in the production of this prank... And lets just say that the half has not been told.... I will be trying to post more pictures and a clip or two of some of the funniness...

Some of the cutest kids around....

Here are a couple of pictures of two of the most adorable "rugrats" as a former prof use to call them... Daniel and I have lots of fun together... We are both ADHD, and have fun keeping each other entertained... he always has a ready smile... that is unless is mom is wiping his nose...

The best Valentine's Day present ever!!!

This is probably one of the funniest things that I have ever lived through... And every time I look at the pictures I lose it all over again...

At our school, the faculty are assigned a month to bring a snack for that months faculty meeting. I have been given February every year... yeah the single teacher gets the love month... I don't mind, and usually get teased for months about how elaborate my "meal" is... I love to cook, and since cooking for one is boring don't do it all the time... Hey it shows them how much I love them... I even use the opportunity to buy my yearly roses... I buy myself a dozen of white roses since, well, my husband won't buy me any... ok so here is the rest of the story...

I have an invisible husband... His name is Frank. Frank was charming when I met him, but we've been married now for 4 years and well let's just say it's not paradise... He won't go to church with me (which is how this story got started... I didn't have a husband to put his arm around me on Covenant Marriage Sunday, LOL) he doesn't do any chores and my house is always a disaster because of him... getting the picture... LOL He is a wonderful scapegoat from bruises to being late... He gets blamed for a lot of things... But no one has ever seen him...

A couple of my co-teachers thought it would be funny if Frank came to school... So as I finished setting up the snack, and the plates with some help from my wonderful parents... I couldn't figure out where a couple of the guy teachers were, so my principal decided to start with out them...

Well after we prayed to start the meeting... Low and behold what walked in the door...

It was Little River Singing Valentines... (Little River is a notorious group of pranksters and all around funny group...) "Frank" had supposedly hired them to sing "You Are My Sunshine" for me... He also brought me a rose and a card... And came dress like a knight... With a sign that said "Cupid keeps missing"!!!

Needless to say I was laughing my head off till they wheeled him over next to me and the "dummy" acted like he was going to give me a hug... The joke was great!!! And the card is still on my desk to remind me of when Frank came to school...
