Perhaps a joke right about now??

After the series of heavy posts over here at Bamboo Journal, I feel it the need to lighten it up around here.  So here goes...

If you're American when you go into the bathroom...

And you're American when you come out of the bathroom...

What are you when you are in the bathroom?

Give up?

European (get it:  You're-a-pee'in!)

This is the of our favorites at our house.  Such is life with a 6 year old.  Its all potty humor and silly puns.    I wish I had something better in my back pocket.

But in all seriousness I have done a bit of laughing around here, despite the momentous place that I am in.  Laughter is a sport I excel at.  I really do like it all, the silly, the ironic, the over-the-top, the sarcastic, and yes the potty humor too.   And I love the crazy place of laughing so hard that you start laughing because of the laughing.  So I have been thankful for all the laughter this past week--and for those who made me laugh with their clever wit and bad jokes.   

Some other things to be thankful for?  Camping.  I am hitting the woods with a chunk of my tribe again this coming weekend.  I can already smell the campfire and hear the music.  No matter that the last few weeks have been kind of heavy...after sitting around the great outdoors with dear dear friends, a glass of wine and the blues in the air I will be blissed out for weeks to come.  Lighter than air...

So as not to hit you with two bad jokes I will leave you on this note (pun absolutely intended).  This little song has had me singing at the top of my lungs all week.  Its crept into my head and has had me twirling. 

May joy bubble up through your heaviest moments this week.
