Thinking happy thoughts
Friday, October 19, 2001
You know, I've been really trying my best not to be too negative. That's a fault of mine. I'd rather expect the worse. That way I'm not disappointed. Of course, I didn't EXPECT a car wreck so I was disappointed which kind of ruined my whole outlook anyway. Perhaps I just wasn't bleak enough...
At any rate, whatever the reason, whatever the complaints, I am trying to be positive. Unfortunately, though, whenever I sit down to write, all I can think about is my stupid car, my stupid job, the stupid cold I've caught or James' stupid job situation.
So, in a quest for all that is non-stupid, I came up with these:
Hee, Hee! That's me on the right all bent over and airless. I think I was trying to explain to whomever is on the side that I was ABSOLUTELY about to die. However, I was just laughing so damn hard...
Hee. And there I am again. Laughing my ass off, bouncing up and down shouting at Lauren (one of my sister's 10 year old friends) to stop jumping so hard while loving every bit of it. Didn't you know? When someone jumps WITH you on a trampoline you go really high. I mean, REALLY. HIGH.
More! More! That's what I'm shouting with my arms in the air. A glance at this shot, you'd think that dork in the red shirt is just another 10-year-old. Not a pushin-thirty chickie who's about to have a heart attack yet just can't stop.
Jumping is, like, SOOOOO fun.
And that's my beautiful sister Em staring at the camera. I'm so glad her neighbor has a trampoline. It's so fun.
Hey! What will happen in I land on my butt?
Hee. Hee. Hey James! When YOU stand on the trampoline, it goes all the way to the ground! You fatty! (Please note, there are NO pictures in existence of me just "standing" on the trampoline).
Ahh. The creme de la creme of trampoline-jumping photography. This picture just makes me so happy. Midair. Appendages all over. Emily and I. Happy. Happy. Happy.
These pictures were taken maybe a month or two ago and I'm so glad I finally got them developed. They make me smile.
This is my happy place.
Other Happy Thoughts:
** Living in the City can be nice. When you have a cold, it means you can walk just around the corner for Hot and Sour Veggie Soup from the local Thai place. The ultimate decongestant. My soup can kick your Sudafed's ass!
** The advantage to having a husband without a job: whenever a telemarketer calls, I get to say, "Sorry, but my husband was just laid off. We don't have any money." They get all quiet on the phone... stunned... uncomfortable... don't know what to say. Gets them off the phone fast AND speechless.
See, I'm working on the happy stuff. Truly, I am.
