I love Fridays, I love thank you notes, and I love Jimmy Fallon’s Thank You Notes, so, naturally, Friday here on my blog means:
Thank You Notes and Jimmy Fallon!
As you may know, Jimmy and I took a break last week. Well, actually Mr. Fallon has been on a lovely hiatus for a few weeks with a return date of the 22nd. Fancy Pants! 🙂
Thank You Notes
Thank you, for returning after I abruptly went MIA. I honestly do not have a good reason, I didn’t win the lotto, I also didn’t take a fancy trip anywhere special, I just needed to step away.
I’ve been such a slacker pants blogger this summer. I’m sorry!
Thank you, Instagram, for the tremendous pressure you put on us to take the best selfies. So much so that people will stand and take 1,001 selfies while other people are waiting to take pictures TOO!! UGH!!! There was an Instagram couple at the waterfall this weekend that would have drove you nuts, m’friends. I am a pretty cool cucumber (most of the time) but these people were so inconsiderate. A man (a random stranger… good samaritan) took their photo like five times, after that they stayed in the same place (with the good light and the waterfall behind them) and kept taking more selfies.
It wasn’t the lady in this picture. I gave up and snapped this picture real quick.
Thank you, Leslie Jones! Yes, another thank you note to Leslie. This time for the Olympics/her patriotism and yes, for helping me to see the errors of my way. BECAUSE I LOVE GAME OF THRONES!!!
Some News rounded up 17 hilarious tweets Olympic tweets that Leslie posted.
And now I nerd out. 🙂
Thank you, HBO!! The girl is sad she is all caught up, but thankful for good writers, actors, and amazing sets. Now if only winter was coming in the winter, I don’t want to wait until NEXT summer! I want my KING OF THE NORTH, KING OF THE NORTH, KING OF THE NORTH!!
Did you need a Game of Thrones recap? Samuel L. Jackson recapped the first 5 seasons in a perfect BAMFing way. 🙂
Lastly, thank you, babe for sending me this:
I needed this today! You’re the best!! I gather my post from yesterday or living with me for YEARS made him think of me when watching this. THE CREATIVE PROCESS!! Anyone else?
Soooo… thank you notes? Who gets one from you?

August 19, 2016 at 8:57 amFun post! I don’t understand rude people who selfishly hog the best places to take pictures. The rest of us are entitled to the same opportunity. I’m always considerate of others in public and just don’t understand people who aren’t. Have a nice weekend!

I need to check out Game of Thrones while I have free HBO. I love Ballers on HBO.

August 22, 2016 at 1:01 pmHi Dean! Wow! One of my favorite ‘Thank You Notes’ posts. I couldn’t see the Instagram pictures but I’ll check them out on Instagram. The others are gorgeous. I’ve had run ins with couples like the one you mentioned makes me want to go all Larry David ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ on them! “You’re abusing your selfie privileges! You can’t just go on selfie after selfie! There are people waiting for this spot. You’re a spot hogger!” Ha, ha! If you’ve ever watched the show you’ll know what I’m talking about, otherwise, you might just think I’m cray-cray. Anyway, I loved Samuel L. Jackson’s summary of Game of Thrones. I laughed so hard! Well done! 😀 xx

August 22, 2016 at 3:33 pmOoh, I heard Adam Grant speak at a conference last year and I want to read his book (books?). And now I need to watch that video.
No need to apologize. We all need breaks. I took off more than half the summer and it was A.MAZ.ING.
(But I’m always excited to see you back!)
And boo for people who take a million selfies.

August 27, 2016 at 6:56 amGreat post… really got my mind going on a Saturday morning! I must be almost the last person who hasn’t watched Game of Thrones. Maybe after they’ve finished the series… then I can watch them ALL. 😉

August 27, 2016 at 6:57 amOh, and now I have “Chasing Waterfalls” playing in my head. Thanks for that. LOL

I have never seen game of thrones, but my glacier guide in Alaska was obsessed and dressed his family up for Christmas like characters from it. I wish I had seen pictures.
