Well... After a week that I never want to live again, I've come out on top. I've battled anger, depression, confused, self-doubt, etc. Right now... sitting at work... I'm in one of the best moods I've been in in a -long- time. I've been chatting with a friend of mine from work and just made a fool of myself here. So... I decided that rather than focusing on everything that's horrible and unsolved, I'm going to list some things that make ma laugh or smile.
-The other day, I was going through the drive-thru at Tims in Kentville. For those who don't know the layout, Tims is right beside the ambulance place. I was sitting in my car, waiting for the line of cars to pass and I saw a paramedic running from inside the shop, to a waiting ambulance. He had some coffees in his hand, and had obviously just picked some up for him and his buddies. I guess they were in a rush, because the paramedic jumped up to get in the ambulance through the back door. Well... that didn't work out so well for him. His foot slipped when he took the initial running step onto the ambulance, and WHAM! He hit face first on the floor of the ambulance. Coffee - everywhere. He was obviously fine, but, at least he didn't have to go far if he DID get hurt. *giggle*
-Andy and I went camping back two Septembers ago for my birthday. Stayed Friday night, and Saturday night and then left on Sunday. Well... Saturday night... Andy and I are in the tent, I'm snoozin' away enjoying my sleep, when all the sudden, Andy nudges me and says 'Shhh!' I wake up, sit up, and listen. We can hear our cooler being drug across the lawn, which is only about 4 feet from us. I panic because Friday when we got there, on a tree where we were staying, the was bear claw marks. I panicked. "It's a bear!" I said to Andy. He agreed. He stuck his head out with the flashlight but didn't see anything. However, the rappie pie that he had bought and accidentally (fool!) left out on the picnic table was now across the road, empty and the tin was mangled. We counted down and the BOLTED to the car. We got in, locked the doors, and sat there. Andy managed to drift off to sleep, but I was so scared. After about 20 minutes, I heard the cooler being drug again. I poked Andy, "It's back! It's back!'" "Turn on your lights then!" He replied. (D'uh) My heart was pounding sooo hard as I turned on the lights and got ready to scream. Well....... we were greeting by 4 -terrified- raccoons. I laughed as Andy hollered out 'This ain't no Denny's! Get your breakfast someplace else!' I still didn't sleep that well that night.
-Same weekend, Andy and I are Upper Clements Park so we decide to go to the zoo there. Well, we come across the owl pen and Andy decides to do his 'special owl call' that he uses at his parents house to talk to the owls back and forth. So.. he gets his hands all prepared, wets his lips and positions them over the opening in his hands and blows. The most unbelievable owl sound comes out as he does a Tuwit Tuwoo kinda call. The owls look at him. Blink. Then ALL at the same time, turn their heads around the other way. I laughed for SO LONG. From then on, I kept teasing Andy that all this time at his parents house when he was doing owl calls, and the owls were calling back, it's not the owls... just another fool out on his porch doing the same thing. :D
-Back in the day of youth group, I was really good friends with Kate and Leanne... well... still good friends with them. Well, one day, after school, Kate calls me with this funny story. She starts the story by going 'You wont believe this. It's sooo funny!'. So, I start to smile, anticipating the story. She tells me that she was downstairs at home watching a movie. It was getting close to supper time so her mom comes to the top of the stairs to holler to her (by this time I'm giggling with anticipation). Her mom hollers down 'Kate! I'm starting to cook you come Kraft Dinner for supper!' (I'm seriously laughing just typing this). Well, Kate, in her rush to catch her mom before she starts it, tries to speak before her brain comes up with the words. She hollers up to her mom. "But we already had Mac-Dinner for Christmas!!!" Followed by laughter. I laughed soooo hard when she told me, and trying to not break out and snort from laughter right now at work. Still to this day, I say 'Already had mac-dinner for Christmas' to Kate and it makes her laugh.
-haha!!! Okay. I just thought of this one. Back about.... 4 or 5 years ago, my parents got a new car, a 2002 Mazda Protege. The most sweetest car ever. I loved it! So... they get it one morning and take it for a drive, then come home for lunch. Over lunch, we were talking about the car. At the time, I was into being 'cool' and squealing my tires and such. So... using my 'cool' talk, I asked mom 'How does it light up mom?' (which dad and I both knew meant how does it squeal, etc). Mom replies with 'I dunno. We haven't driven it at night yet.' I laughed and dad laughed as mom just stared at us blankly. We eventually told her why and she laughs about it now.
Enough of stories, cuz that that one was hard to remember. But some other random things that make me smile are babies, the colour yellow, sun, the rain, tanning, cuddling, the movie Rent, when people are silly (which is a LOT), etc.
It's 10 minutes until work's over, and I need to pack up.
But. Thanks for sharing my smiles and laughs with me. :) At least this was about 5 hours of smiling and laughing compared to the past week.
See y'all later. See my NT people at church tomorrow.

Tanya,
I'm so glad you have so much to smile about! Plus: I can let you hold the baby... and you certainly know I can be silly!
What more could you ask for?
HAHA!! :D
Oh, P.S.
I was doing the dishes once (at home as a teen) and Mom was pouring herself a glass of gingerale (I think). But there was a swallow or two left in the bottom of the 2-litre bottle. So, she gave it to me to drink. I turned the bottle upside down to empty it and she said, "well, don't swallow the BOTTLE"! (I nearly did...) I spit out all of the gingerale... on Mom too. To this day, do NOT say anything funny when I have something in my mouth!!
:D
Hey Tanya,
So glad you're doing better. I've been thinking about and praying for you. Glad you have some smilies to focus on. Keep thinking about the "big dog" and the "ding dong" video and you should be all set.
Or, for a really good laugh, check out my "Simple" album on FB or in my blogspace - those pictures always make me laugh..even when I'm driving down the street and just thinking about them (I get the helmet - you get the shirt!).
Be strong and I have an amazing DVD for you to watch - The Secret. It makes so much sense and I'm glad I picked it up. It seems, from your writing, that you're already on the right path.
Tell your ma and pa I said hi and touch base with me later.
Love ya!
~Sandy
PS - DING DONG!
