Laughter ... It Does a Body Good

As mentioned in my first post #21...I love to laugh. I think it is one of the best things in the world. I believe my two favorite kinds of laughing are A. Laughing Until It Hurts / Laughing Until No More Noise Comes Out and 2. Inappropriate Laughter - Inappropriate Timing, Inappropriate Reasoning, Inappropriate Noises (snort, poot, etc). Yep, Laughing is definitely my fav!!

Why mention this?!? Well, today was one of those days. Actually it was a combo of those two occurrences which made the laughter that much better. Actually just the other weekend, it happened too. Much of my laughing comes from spending time with or talking to one of my sisters. The other weekend was with Bor. I totally had the "No more noise/Almost wetting your pants" laughter when she took a sip of her drink and a long, nasty, disgusting piece of slobber stuck - one side to her lip and the other side to her cup. She actually made it all the way back to the table before the spit string broke. The HILARIOUS part was, she thought no one saw it and she was off the hook...Oh No!! I totally saw it! I busted out laughing (actually I'm LOL-ing right now thinking about it!) Once she realized I saw it, she too started laughing. That made me laugh even harder, which left everyone else at the table CLUELESS!! Here we were, unable to talk and even make rational laughing noises and no one else knew what in the world we could possibly be laughing at since nothing had been said to make us laugh and no one else saw the spit string.

Anyways...back to the original story. Today, I was talking to my other sister (haha!) on the phone. We, of course, started sharing the events of our days. These stories are usually quite good, because we A. Both work with some characters, and 2. Both have BWFs (see post 2 for more details). The more we talked, the more I laughed. Now you must understand, at the beginning of this convo, I was in the car alone heading home. By the end of the convo, I was out of the car, walking up to Moe's (Free Queso Day) surrounded by people. I was laughing so hard, I'm pretty sure it was quite awkward to those who could see me. I actually had to tell her I was in public and could not be laughing like that and had to hang up. Ridiculous, I know.

So, what was the story?! Well, the one that sent us over the edge involved D (see post 2 for more details). D was on vacation last week with her family in Florida. *I missed her dearly while she was away!* In an effort to make up leaving me for a week alone, she brought me a prize and gave it to me this morning. This is roughly the way the convo surrounding the prize went ...

D: Oh I bought you something while I was in FL.
Me: You didn't have to do that. That was so sweet!
D: Do you know who Guy Harvey is?
Me: Yes
D: Really? You do?
Me: Yes, doesn't everyone?!?
D: Oh, I just didn't know you would know. (See Post 2 Bullet Point 5 under "Work" to understand how ridiculous this really is!)
D: The only reason I bought this is because it was on clearance.
Me: Oh, Ok.
D: And I'm sure it is too big for you.
Me: Oh, Ok.
D: Here.

And then D gives me this shirt. She knew I would love it - clearance and too big! She is so sweet...a total BWF!!

　
What is so funny about that?!? Well, in and of itself not that much. I mean, D is a dork and all, but the funny part really begins when another employee (who shall remain unnamed so I don't get mean things done to me at work...and, no, it isn't Leigh Ann - just to clear that up) walked in our office. She saw the shirt and said, "Well, thanks for bringing me something too, D." Even though it was meant as a "joke" we both knew she was kind of serious. I told her I only got one because I'm D's BWF. This employee acted as though she had never heard that expression, although we use it quite frequently around the office. I explained to her what that was (she could have just read my blog...but...I haven't told her about it...and now I really won't since I'm talking about her in it!) D added that we are only friends at work (see Post 2 Bullet Points 3-4 under "General") and that I know not to call her after 4:30 (which isn't actually true, but it could be knowing D). Said employee responded with, "Well, I've called you after 4:30." To which I reply, "Thus the reason you aren't the one with a new shirt." I thought that was pretty hilarious, but her face made it even funnier since she didn't know if I was being serious or just kidding. D and I CRACKED up!!

*Now that I'm typing this, I really hope it isn't one of those "You had to be there" kind of jokes.

Well, anyways, to add to that...I was AGAIN telling Mir about Pinterest.
I love this site. I spend too much time there. I am slightly addicted. It is true.
Mir tells me she has tried to get into it, but she is afraid that she will get sucked in too, and she doesn't have time for that right now. (Oh, but she will in 2 weeks - sorry Shelia!!) Here comes D again. I told Mir that I tried to tell D about the site. I even showed it to her. I walked her through the process. I showed her my boards. I really opened my Pinterest world to her thinking that she would enjoy it. What does she say in response?!? Straight faced..."Stuff like that doesn't Pinterest me!" Seriously, you can't use the title in a slam. That is just wrong. Wrong, but hilarious. This sent Mir over the edge, which in turn, sent me over the edge - in public, surrounded by people going to get free queso.

And there is a little piece of my day. Laughter. I'm pretty sure it is good medicine, because I feel so much better since having that gut busting laugh with my sister this evening.
