I spent a lot of time with my sisters this weekend. I can’t say it enough, I love having sisters and I love living so close to them all. Friday night I went to Andrea’s for dinner. We played MarioKart, did homework and hung out with the dogs.
Saturday Kelli and I drove up to see Emily. Em made us dinner and we all watched Sex and the City while I worked on some homework. We spent the night and hung out for awhile Sunday before leaving.
One bad thing about this weekend: I slept on Em’s couch and effed up my back. I can barely move. Everytime I tried to roll over last night I whimpered in pain. It better fix itself soon because I have crap going on this week.
One good thing about this weekend (among many): I laughed a lot. I laugh more with my sisters than with anyone else. Brad used to be tied in this category, and I really hope I find someone else someday who will make me laugh that much. It’s something I consider essential. Anyway, my sisters and I share the same sense of humor so we spend a lot of time cracking each other up. For instance, on the drive home I said something quite on accident (it won’t be funny in the retelling so I’ll skip that detail) that had Kelli and I in tears. Most people probably wouldn’t have laughed; a few might have chuckled and moved on. But Kelli and I were laughing so hard it was silent. You know that silent laughter? It’s a really good feeling to laugh that hard over something so silly. And to have someone to do it with.
I love silent laughter too. Willikat and I have had many a moments of silent laughter with each other.
That sounds AWESOME! I just found out there is actually such a thing as Laughter Yoga. Google it, I swear!
Happy Laughing
I agree, laughing in a relationship is essential. It helps against fighting, and well it helps everything. It’s funny, I have a few friends who can get me laughing that hard, but three that are guaranteed are from my childhood and I usually say they are the closest to a sister I can get. One is my friend Emily I told you about, one is my cousin Rach, and my old friend Alaina….I think I told you about recent events.. I’m not sure. Kevin can too.
My ex had a really funny sense of humor too and I loved just being around him because he could always make me laugh. Unfortunately, he also could make me madder than anyone else, ever, but that’s just the breaks.
Laughter is absolutely essential! Even in moments where you think you might cry. It works. The silent laugh is killer, too.
A is right, we laugh like that together a LOT. It’s nice to have someone to share your humor with, isn’t it?
Some of my all-time favorite memories of my little sister and I when we were younger involve laughing so hard we started crying. We still do that now, which I love.
