Hey Everyone,

First of all, thank you all so much for your wonderful words of advice regarding the update of my search for a new home.

Alas, today is one of those days. I allowed myself to sleep in and then it was numerous issues and interruptions. Well, one of them was of my own doing. You see, it included the discovery of a gorgeous “two-bedroom” apartment close to the Public Garden in Backbay, Boston.

I mean, check out these windows! And, the fireplace, too. Plus, it’s a real working fireplace!

But, on the other side of the fireplace instead of matching bookcases, lives the kitchen.

dum dum duuuuuuuum

What the freakin’ fugly fork? They can’t be serious. You can’t even see how elegant the rest of the room is.

And, what IS behind that door? I bet it’s the skeleton of the contractor.

The kitchen shockeroo came after my initial excitement at finding this gem. After inquiring, the agent sent me this and some other images. And, then I also found out that it’s a one-bedroom even though the listing says two bedrooms.

I need at least two bedrooms for when y’all come and visit me. haha

Ya know, I think I’m getting past the stage in life when I expect visitors to be happy sleeping on the living room sofa.

But then, I spoke to my fabulous financial advisor, Gene Lonergan, and he thinks that it would be more prudent to buy rather than rent. That is, from a financial standpoint. Of course, I would need to check out the places in person.

Now, I know that I don’t HAVE to do two blog posts every week. However, there are so many old ones that need updating. So, that’s what we’re doing for this post.

And, one of my favorites is the 20 Funniest Laurel Home Blog Posts.

What’s REALLY funny is that I wrote the original post on August 17, 2016. So, almost four years to the day.

Over the last half dozen years (since people started reading the laurel home blog posts), the most frequent comment/observation by far is:

YOU’RE SO FUNNY!

And, I love your sense of humor!

Gosh, thanks, Guys!

It’s a gift for which I’m grateful; it comes naturally. However, EVERYONE in my family is funny. So, I guess it’s genetic.

However, now comes the arduous task of sifting through some 700 blog posts, to select the 20 funniest Laurel Home Blog posts.

I’ll be right back. Well, not right back; but, soon. :]

Okay, now we’re ready, so please enjoy what I consider to be the funniest posts from the last seven or eight years.
