I can see where this is going

I love phrases, I love quotes, and I love cracking up. So today on pintrest I saw a little caption which explained whenever someone tells you something or asks a question, you say "I can see where this is going." And because I'm a nerd, I cracked up.

I looovvvee cracking up laughing. It is one of my favorite pastimes. And I find I do it quite often whether I'm with my husband, my sister, mom, Ava, - really, with just about anyone. I find myself in situations which later I end up finding hysterical so I have to tell someone about them and then I end up cracking up laughing even more. Like the time I began to have a coughing attack ordering some pizza and the young girl behind the counter kept asking for my name so she could print it on my receipt/order slip to let me know when it was ready - but I kept coughing and couldn't manage to spit out what my three-syllable name was and while I finally managed to hold up an index finger as an indication to "hold on please for my name until my coughing attack subsides" she still just stood there looking at me. She didn't even run for water or appear concerned - she just seemed bored while I could have actually been dying. So finally she just punched something into the computer and handed me my order slip. I walked shamefully over to the one chair in the pizza waiting area, looked at my receipt, and saw she had picked a name for me - and she had named me Lady. I totally wish I would have saved that receipt! But I'm also not a hoarder so I'm glad I didn't. But I cracked up laughing later! And maybe you are not laughing at all and you're wondering why I found it funny, so if that's the case - I feel dumb. But I don't think I'm too dumb usually so no matter.

I love when Ava cracks up laughing. For those of you who have kids, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It warms my heart and even makes me laugh when I see Ava just crack up. Her eyes glisten and shine because she's laughing so hard, she's almost crying. She can hardly take a breath, she can't talk, and she is just loving the feeling of laughing so hard. And I pray in those moments that she remembers all the fun she has and knows how to have. Because life is tough. I pray she stays close to the Lord because this will make all the difference.

So I hope all of you have a moment this week to crack up laughing because those moments are out there! (But they shouldn't be at anyone's expense because that's downright mean!) I don't know why I felt the need to put that little disclaimer in BTW - that could be a little of that OCD in me coming out.

Have a great week!


From the movie Mary Poppins:
"The more I laugh
The more I fill with glee
And the more the glee
The more I'm a merrier me"
