Make Someone Happy

I feel sorry for people who don't laugh. To me, everything is funny and laughing is the most exhilarating part of being alive, besides eating Cheetos and drinking Code Red Mountain Dew. And going to the movies. And reading--can't forget reading.

But you can do all that stuff while you're laughing.  Some people just don't get that.

Last night, for instance.  I was busting up all night long.  Partly because I always get giddy on Thursday nights knowing The Office is coming, but mostly because I put on season 1 of the original Get Smart series while I was making dinner.  (what do you mean?  Of course I feed my kids.)   

Next to Spamalot and Nacho Libre, the original Get Smart is probably the funniest stinkin' show on the face of this planet.  My boy's friends and I were ROTFLOL, but my boys barely cracked a smile. 

They must take after their dad.  

Don't get me wrong, my husband and my boys laugh a lot, especially when they fart or burp or run naked through the house after a shower, or when they watch other people fart or burp or run naked through the house after a shower. 

But sometimes I wonder if there is something wrong with my husband.  He fell asleep during Nacho Libre which is absolutely inappropriate and unpardonable.  He scowled through The Simpsons Movie.   Dude!  What's not to like about ingeniously political and social satire performed by silly buffoon cartoons?  

At least he likes The Office, I'll give him that, because his parents loathe it almost as much as they loathe Roseanne Bar.  Yet they can bust a gut over that perv Bob Hope and his overtly sexist banter.   Well, his dad can. His mom just giggles, shakes her head and says "Honest to Pete!"

I'm so excited for you guys to meet her.  In less than a month they will be here to spend 49 days with us.   It is such a kick to watch t.v. with them.  I'm not being sarcastic either.  The one time my husband busts out laughing is when we watch t.v. with his parents.  It's good ole' wholesome family fun at it's finest and I can't wait to share the fun with my readers and followers. 

One thing you should know about me is I just love seeing people laugh and making people laugh and watching people laugh and hearing people laugh.  

It makes me happy.   

You know what else makes me happy?  My commenters.  This week my commenters made me especially happy.  My commenters are so sweet and mouthy and just plain witty.  Sometimes even downright hilarious.  

Thanks for making my week happy, funny fans.  

And thanks to my supportive brothers and to all my followers.  There's nothing like the rush of seeing you have a new follower.  It's enough to make you want to shout the V word at the top of your lungs.  (No, not Voldemort, silly.  Validation!)   Did you know validation can help fill your vast emotional voids?  

I think I should start sending a box of Caramacs (chocolate/caramel covered macadamia nuts)  to my funniest commenter of the week.   But this week I can't decide between Alyson and Shelle.  They both made me equally happy.   Thanks Alyson and Shelle for spreading your sunshine around!  Email me your address and I'll send you some aloha!  

I'm going to take the weekend off because I need to perform a baptism by soft scrub on my house.  (You may be able to find me lurking around with my rubber gloves at my sister site.)

LY everyone!  And MM!  (Miss Me!) 

Have a great weekend.  

Go make someone happy!  Go make just one someone happy!
