I had a chance to catch up on sleep this past weekend. And I've been working out a lot lately. All of this had increased my laughter. It's crazy, so many things are making me laugh these days. I'm taking this as a positive time in my life.

A few things making me laugh

1) the latest CitiBank identity theft commercials...especially the one with the 2 old ladies.

2) I just watched the latest episode of Hogan Knows Best. It was hilarious...Hulk reminded me of my stepdad.

3) My coworker Ricki, from Ft Worth, TX makes me laugh 10x a day. She's so Texan, I just cant get enough. Her favorite line is "I'm so bored with work, I'm sittin here playin' with my tits." Of course, if you heard this in person, you'd laugh too.

4) And finally, today at the gym, I had quite a good laugh. The guy on the treadmill next to me was running these really huge strides. And every 4 steps, he'd breathe out really hard. Whooo, he'd exhale. The funny part was that I could tell he had eaten mexican food for dinner. That, mixed with his body odor, was so hard to deal with. But damn it, I was there first...and the treadmills are hot comodities! I got over the smells, and then he did something else. He started doing a very fast run on his tip-toes and waving his fingers above his head like "jazz hands." I lost it. I started laughing and didnt stop until I got home.

I'd rather be laughing than be upset, so this is just fine :-)

P.S. Kitch posted a comment on my last posting. She was referring to a fantastic song by Boy Least Likely To called "Be Gentle With Me." We're going to see them at the Knitting Factory very soon! Check 'em out - this link sends you right to the page playing "Be Gentle With Me." Go ahead and make fun of me Sonny, i'm ok with it - I'm well aware they sound like the Partridge Family :-)
