Restricted Phone Calls and Men Who Blog

I hate one and love the other.  Can you guess which is which?

I will start with the one I hate.  Which, if you guessed restricted phone calls, you would be correct.  I especially hate them when they WAKE ME UP.  *grumbles*  Why do you feel the need to call me at 8 in the morning from a number I can't see and 1) expect me to answer the phone, and 2) be polite about it?  I know, 8 a.m. is not early for most of you.  In fact, I know a lot of you have been up at least a couple hours by then.  I applaud you.  I do, really.  If I had a reason to be, I'd probably be up that early too, but I don't.  I have a big ol' slice of lazy that compels me to lay in bed until even I think that I'm a lazy bum and I need to at least go brush my teeth.  (Judge if you like, I'm applying all over town and haven't gotten a bite yet.  If you happen to be in the need for a cute and charming secretary or site admin though, I'm in the market and totally available.)

So anyway, I get woken up this morning to my phone ringing, and I'll admit I got excited because I thought it was Curves calling to offer me a job, but alas, it was not.  There was a big, fat RESTRICTED up on my screen, which I refuse to answer.  I have like, one, friend with a restricted number, and granted she lives on the east coast, so it would have been like 10 there, but if she wanted to talk to me, she'd have left a voice mail.  This anonymous caller did not.  Fine.  I didn't want to talk to you anyway.  That would be why I hit "ignore" on the screen.  So thbbbbpt.  (That's the tongue sticking out noise, in case you were wondering.)

On to the one that I love.  Men who blog.  I thought they didn't exist.  They were like the Unicorn.  Everyone talked about them, but no one ever really saw one.  A myth.  Turns out I was wrong.  And I'm SO glad I was.  I've stumbled onto a few lately, thanks to the other lovely ladies I know in the blog world.
I'm not sure what it is.  I think it's just the male brain that makes things so much funnier to me.  Which would probably also explain why I always have so many guy friends in my life.  I think it's just their way with words.  I dunno.  It's a mystery to me.  A very funny, very entertaining mystery.  And I love love love that these guys blog.
I've only got a few on my blogroll so far, but I'm looking forward to finding more.  They are all hilarious, and I would highly recommend that you check them out.

The Self-Deprechan - who I actually found first a little while ago.  Makes me giggle.  And I adore that he calls his wife Babyboo.
Travis @ I like to Fish... - whom I found through Daffy's blog
Ed @ Ed's Spooky Pages - whom I found through Travis...

Greg @ Telling Dad - just found him today.  He joined in our Monday Mingle for this week, and I have to say it.is.hilarious.  Do yourself a favor and go watch it.
