Lesson 17) ROTFL.

No, literally, Sara and I were

Rolling
On
The
Floor
Laughing

We were doing so at the racquetball court, which probably wasn't so sanitary. There's this Dixie Chicks old song "Sometimes You Gotta Dance." This is also true, but today Sara and I were observing that sometimes you just have to laugh. Part of is was that we were being absolutely terrible and kinda lazy at racquetball today, which you can only giggle about. I mean, when you jump up in the air in this spread-eagle slow motion style, only for the ball to soar about a foot above your racket, you either have to laugh or give up.
Sara and I have a deal about giving up.

But most of what we were laughing about was this weekend. There are always going to be times when you embarrass yourself. Sometimes its your fault and sometimes it's just the situation. Sara and I had a series of these instances this weekend, both at parties and just walking along the street, tripping on nothing (...me). Once again, there are two options:

1. Give up
2. Laugh about it

Honestly, which one sounds more fun to you? It is super tempting to give up and crawl back into your bed some days. But when you have someone in the situation with you, it's a little bit easier. Having Sara replay my epic fails though, in comic form, defiantly makes it all not seem so bad at all! I, of course, did the same to her. After the initial "whyyyyy did I do that?" there is the "HAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, that was pretty stupid!! HAHAHAHA!!" Really, in this life we don't have time to just sit there and regret things. Especially for us, as we are in the 'best four years of our life' as older people continue to remind us. We have to be living it up, or we'll just be down and out the whole time, and who wants to tell their kids those sorts of stories? 

"Well, Mommy spilt Aunt Sara's drink all over the host, so Mommy didn't go to parties anymore after that."

No. That will not do!

"Well, Mommy spilt Aunt Sara's drink all over the host, but hey, at least the colors went together alright!"

Sitting there on the floor, wiping the little tears away and attempting to get our breath back, we were pretty sure we could make it through the awkward moments, as long as we stick together and remember that it may be pretty bad now but we'll laugh about it later so no worries! Laugh Out Loud, because it feels so much better than being gloomy.

...I almost won this time, by the way. I'll get her one day, you watch!

Curl Girl, out!
