i'm just kidding {laughs}

i feel like i've been lying to you guys. you wouldn't be able to tell by reading this blog but i'm actually a very light-hearted, funny person. the funny part could be debatable but i think i'm hilarious and so does at least one other person so i'm claiming it.

all of these blog posts are so serious {and rightfully so. life has been beating me up lately.} but i actually spend most of my days laughing hysterically. either at the kids, my friends, or youtube videos that i watch instead of working/sleeping/eating/breathing, etc.

first thing that made me laugh this week:

hi-larious. and i try not to, but man, i just love katy perry. and this song.

second thing that made me laugh this week:

i went to KI last night with joy {my best friend since i was 3 for those of you who don't properly stalk my facebook}. on the way, i told her about going to peru {more about that soon}. she asked if that was in india.

sigh.

on the way home from KI, she said something about me "going all commando and shooting someone." she may have been referring to the arnold movie but i thought she meant something else which caused about 5 minutes of straight laughter. apparently, i can't wear underwear to kill someone. good to know. for future reference, ya know.

third and final thing that made me laugh this week {or at least made the blog list}:

kennedy had been sleeping in the closet for a few weeks which made me sad. i like when he sleeps in the bed with me. he stayed at my parents' while i was out of town last week and ever since he's been in the bed the whole night every night. luckily, the bed is plenty big enough for both of us. apparently last night he decided it wasn't. i woke up at least 5 times to him either sleeping on my stomach, on my face, behind my back on his stomach {which wasn't fun for either of us when i tried to roll over} and at one point, he was on his back between my knees. then it happened. it was 4:28 {i picked up my phone to look so that i could properly document this}. my 21 pound poodle pushed me off the bed. i woke up when i hit the floor. i looked up and he was laying where i had been snoring. bless his heart.

speaking of funny things, did you know God has a sense of humor? He totally does. too many good things are coming from bad decisions. that's what is so good about this life. even when our actions are less than admirable, good can come from it. things can happen that i don't plan. and when they do, i have to admit he's got a funny side. cause like most of my friends have read on texts i've sent them - "i couldn't make this stuff up if i tried."

i hope i never stop saying that.
cause all the funny things help make this life yellow.

ah, wanted to end this blog with that but gus just said "rachel, rachel, rachel, rachel....wipe my butt please."
