today, for some reason, was a day of laughing. out loud. to myself. i spent the entire day, from 8:20 this morning until 5:10 this evening, painting in my new house. my hand is still aching from holding a paintbrush so long. but to keep myself amused, i kept thinking of funny memories in my head. and i got to giggling, and then chuckling, and then i would earnestly laugh. ryan was in another room the whole day, and may have thought his soon-to-be-wife was losing her mind. i thought of my dog, charlie, with whom i grew up. she was a chinese pug. i thought of embarrassing moments. especially those involving personalized barbie and ken dolls. i thought of funny quotes from my roommates. it was a good day for laughing. it rained all day today. the poppy seeds i planted in my new front yard will be happy. and i'm going to be a wife in two weeks. |
