Friday Fun

Have you seen these? If you love Downton Abbey, you'll find these spot-on funny:

Hat tip to my friend Jen for pointing out these spoofy clips.

Three cheers for Friday! I made it. I even escaped the car accident on the freeway that happened right in front of me this afternoon. Welcome, weekend. I embrace you: haircut, sleeping in (whoops, reverse those), baking/cooking, teaching Sunday School, feeding the missionaries, and watching the Super Bowl/Downton Abbey/The Good Wife.

I don't think The Good Wife is new this week...at least it didn't show up in my DVR lineup. Dang!

Do you ever listen to "Wait, wait don't tell me" on NPR? They had some pretty funny laughs about Downton Abby this past Saturday. I was driving Abram home from gymnastics and laughing pretty loud and he asked: What are you laughing at mom, the radio?
