Greeting cards and Singing Pickles.....


Confession. I have this crazy habit of
laughing just about anywhere, at any inappropriate time, or especially when I am by myself. I am a happy chick, what can I say? It's not a cute ladylike laugh either. It's sometimes a giggle which can sound like a 5 year old girl, but more often than not it's a wheeze or when I get tickled it's more like an amused frenchman! Weird right!? Yea I know.

Yesterday, it was a friends birthday so naturally I needed a card. The problem is that when I need one card, I look at almost every card in the Hallmark section and then I needed about six cards (I may have actually bought six cards, but I will neither confirm nor deny any such thing.) They all say the perfect thing for different people in my life. My dear sweet mama's birthday is in December, and that's right, I found a card for that too! Anywho, I really really never liked the singing version of the greeting card. I always thought they were so cheesy and just not simple enough. Like any good greeting card knows, keep it simple stupid. I thought I might as well just peek at these talking/singing cards. I found one for Shaner that made me laugh really hard, all by myself, right there in the card section of Smiths. I actually still think it's funny.

After my hysterics in Smiths yesterday, I came to work this morning, I thought I had put on my best serious face mask. Sitting on my desk this morning was a plastic pickle that sings. Actually it yodels. Again, hysterics. My boss Walter left it on my desk. I laughed so hard!

Today I am thankful for laughter:)
(P.S. These are actually pictures of me in some sort of happy hysteria as a kiddo)
