Yes, I had a banana...I had a banana today...[imagine music note symbols which I was not able to insert...]
Breakfast was a banana--apparently our Work Cafeteria overstocked on fruit, and they are giving away fruit at $ .25 apiece, so yesterday, I bought 3 ripe bananas...and had one for breakfast today...
And there are grapes just waiting for me...green grapes, green seedless Thompson grapes...my childhood favorites, although in solidarity with migrant farm workers, I asked my mom to boycott grapes thanks to Cesar Chavez... Mom thought I was a goofball and said, "No." She bought the grapes. I probably ate them. So much for the budding radical, but oh, how I was trying...
And lots of lovely coleslaw today for lunch--less creamy than usual. Note to self: compliment cafeteria staff on Outstanding Coleslaw. I try to add mushrooms because they are soluble fiber, and tomatoes for the lycopene and cucumbers for whatever it is that they do and I know it's good, and spinach for the potassium and other minerals, and I add Louisiana Hot Sauce for a bit more flavor. It makes me happy.
Speaking of happy, I am HAPPY that SOMEONE in SPAIN is reading me and also that someone in INDIA is reading me...and someone in ENGLAND. Yes, it makes me so happy. And of course, DizzyLizzy in Aus...But where is my Russian???
Tonight is Choir practice, and I'm racing home to shower and clean up before I go...and see if my check is here (please God, please...) and then off to Choir. If I can squeeze in the time, I want to go to Whole Foods and get more carob powder and more Mori Nu silken tofu and then...WalMart for vanilla and yes, I'm makin' the stuff tonight and who knows? I might even go by Reasors and get some Fage Greek Yogurt and add some to the whole luscious stuff...and by golly, I'm gonna make that Vegan Dark Chocolate Mousse sit up and bark.
Or something like that...
And now, we bring you Day 14 of 30 Days of Truth...
And here is the prompt:
What Makes You Laugh?
Things that are absurd and silly...those things make me laugh!
A friend in choir looked at me and saied "PHOEBE!" in a high-pitched voice, and I almost fell on the floor.
The line "soldiers wove a crown of thorns, and pressed them on His head" became "and Preston on his head" thanks to Preston our bass...and several of us laughed until we were almost ill...
Absurdity...I remember seeing a movie where a detective is standing in a children's room at a church and gesturing with a toy in his hand...it was a comedy but this was supposed to be a "serious" moment...the detective talking about leads, suspects, etc., and the toy in his hand--I think it was a big plastic bumblebee--made me laugh senselessly....
The silly jokes of my childhood...Danny Kaye when he had his program on TV...any southern female comedy writer--the Deep South is funny all by itsownself...
The movie Adam's Rib with Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy--they were hilariously funny...the lines from Casablanca "are my eyes really blue?" and "I'm a drunkard."
My cats when they wrestle each other or slap at each other (but not at me...Fafnir, you know who you are!)
Things that are innocent but can be misconstrued...sorry, I laugh at those too...
Kathy the Cantor saying "These people who think they know better than the Wesley Brothers!" in reference to the re-written lyrics to great classic hymns in our hymnal...
LOLCats...my favorite is: "I cannot brain today; I has the dumb." Oh yeah...
My brothers--Mr Witty and his twin...
I laugh so easily...oh, something I read almost 30 years ago in Reader's Digest called "Motel of the Pharoahs" and laughed until I was almost sick...
Former students Chris P, Franky S and Albert L. Dang they were funny!
Can I stop here? I will be writing for weeks...I love to laugh. LOVE to!
Independently,

You know, it wasn't Clouseau but that's sure like him...it was in the movie "The North Avenue Irregulars"--BUT I love the Clouseau moment where he BEATS a piano into toothpicks and then when the owner says "But that's a priceless Steinway!" he replies..."Not anymore..." I believe he had a mace on his arm from a suit of armor and was trying to swat a fly...
