Chuckling, Giggling, Snorting GOOD TIMES!!!

Okay, you know that uncontrollable feeling of not being able to stop laughing that comes not as often as it use to when you were little but you really wish it would?!! Did you have to reread that insanely long run-on question for it to make any sense??

As an adult (if I can really call myself that), I want to experience more of yesterday. Sunday started out pretty much the standard. I got up wanting to sleep just 10 minutes more...but I was already running late. Flew to church, ran to the puppet room, and had my usual Sunday morning banter with Karin and Becky. Enjoyed performing as Jessica the "out of control hair" puppet who thinks everything is "really really really really hard to do".

Skipped big church for a little trip to Pei Wei with Stac and Andrea. Airjello had a lot of catching up to do. It has been way too long since we've laughed all together usually poking fun at ourselves. It was nice, pleasant, fun...I've missed the times all three of us use to sit around and laugh uncontrollable usually at something Yeller has done or I've said or Stac's pointed out-such as "Brenda's been talking with the Chinese! That's why the fortune cookie says what it says!"

Though it has been awhile, Andrea really came thru for us. We laughed so hard I thought I had done about a thousand sit-ups. We were talking while sitting in our cars with the windows rolled down. We said good bye and I hear this mumbling come from the maroon honda and then an explosion of laughter. Andrea suddenly spurts out something to the effect of "In order to make it go, I have to turn on the car!!" She had tried to shift it into gear and was frustrated that her car was broken until she realized it wasn't ON! Now, you might not find it funny but if you could see the way that Andrea committed to the moment and the deliverly, you would think it was priceless, too!! I laughed for a good 5minutes while driving down the tollway.

So you would think it would stop right there?? Figured God had bless me with plenty of laughter for the day??? Yeah, NO!! It just got even better!!!

So Benjamin and I hung out that evening. Good conversation. We ventured off to a mexican restuarant for some eats. We sat down at the table. As I was glancing at the menu, he interrupts my decision making ability with a simple question: "Hey, Jolie, What alter ego should I be?" ummmmm, yeah...couldn't figure out what the heck he was talking about...so I asked my typical question of "WHAT?" And then it started...the laughing! the uncontrollable joy that came out as unstoppable chuckles which eventually produced tears, stomach cramps, and the most fun-the oh-so-attractive SNORT. It didn't last just a couple of minutes it lasted almost through out the whole meal...the waiter came by twice asking me for my drink order and I couldn't give it to him because I couldn't stop...he probably thought I was mental or drunk or high...

So what happened? Well, let's just say that Benjamin should really be on stage or in the radio business or something along the lines of entertainment...maybe starring in the Greater Tuna plays...He has characters and voices that probably could keep me rolling for the rest of my life and not to mention I would have a killer 6 pack after that stomach muscle work out. Just when I thought I had myself under control, he busted out with another one. The one thing I can't get out of my head is "Fajita Paper"! I laugh out loud even now as I replay it in my head.

I am so thankful for the out right hilarious people in my life. I love the fact that God created laughter...unstoppable, tear dropping, stomach aching, snorting laughter. And I am thankful for the people who brought it my way!!
