So I got on Facebook a little bit ago, and I'm scrolling through my news feed, and what do I see?

That.

I laughed uncontrollably, and to be honest I'm not 100% sure why I did so!

Why did that make me laugh so hard? It really shouldn't have, but it did.

It did. *Insert serious nod and look here*


Have I yet shared my love for my family?

I love them. I love them so much.

Sometimes we irritate each other, and some things we do haunt us forever *cough*AreWeInACave*cough*, and we never live them down.

Sometimes we are just a bunch of smart asses, and you have to be really specific when asking for some things, or about some things. Like the whole "What's for dinner?" "Food." conversation that I had quite often with my parents when I was a teen/pre-teen/young adult.

Other times they help you out in a pinch. Like my dad who is awesome at making things/fixing things.

I'll be honest, if it isn't a computer, smart phone, or tablet device, sometimes it just confuses me. So since I moved in and he put my TV up, the only thing I've had hooked up was my cable, which my apartment complex pays for so I'm totes down with that shiznit man.

So I asked my dad if he could hook it up last week, except life being what it is, neither of us managed to be able to have the time, since I've worked since last Wednesday, I'm now on night 6/7 fyi,  and that was his day off during the week and he already had made plans for it.

So this past morning, he was off! And him being the awesome dad he is, came into town, and hooked my DVD player up while I was at work.

Yes, both of my parents have keys to my apartment.

They both, along with my grandmother, and I think two others have keys to my truck, not to mention the extra I carry in my wallet because that generally goes with me everywhere when I don't carry a bag.

I tend to lock my keys for my truck, in my truck. I'm good like that.

I can also trip over air, and if I'm not paying enough attention I can burn water, and make a cookie bomb.

Okay, the cookie bomb was in Home Ec back in high school, and totally not just my fault, but for everyone's future reference: if you use powdered sugar instead of flour because you aren't paying attention, but use the correct ingredients in the rest of the cookies, you end up with a goopy mess that looks like the aftermath of a bomb that went off in your oven.

The mess is just all over the cookie sheet instead of spread out over the oven.

Anyway, back to the amazing Dad.

He hooked up my DVD player, and even took out my dog! I got home a little after 7am, and we talked a little bit.

He had made sure it all worked by sticking the first AVP (Aliens Vs Predator) which I am a huge fan of, into the DVD player. It had been going for maybe twenty minutes, and I thought to myself that it was the perfect way to end my morning.

It wasn't until later on in the movie when I was trying to figure out what was different about it, that I realized something.

It was playing in black and white.

"Ok. I can work with that."

That's what I told myself.

Except it got to this wonderfully done gory scene where there should be some greens, a bit of red, and really, really defined snow and some blues.

And then I realized that no, I actually couldn't.

So even though my DVD player is hooked up, I'll keep watching Animal Planet for a while longer.
