The Brellue - Day 24

 This rainy Saturday afternoon, day 24 of my blogging every day in April. Gosh only six more days to go.  

I like to be silly.  Even goofy too.  I make up lyrics to familiar tunes and don't hesitate to sing them in my house.  When my son was little I read him Dr. Seuss books and cracked myself up laughing so hard that he didn't know what was so funny - except Mama was almost screaming with laughter.  I never could read those books out loud without laughing.

That got me thinking what kind of things would I dream up if I was writing a silly book.   Well here is one silly animal I sketched.

The Brellue is a pretty one.  I hear he is lots of fun.  I wonder if there are some more like him behind the oven door.  You should be glad he doesn't look like you.

There are more - like Little Miss Yink, the Preen, Miss Maruple who always wears purple.  

I'm blogging every day in April with a fabulous group of creative, fun, sensitive, caring people in Effy's blog-a-thon. We are down to six more days and I don't want it to end. I am enjoying reading everyone's blogs and commenting when I can.

I Need to Laugh - Day 12

Luckily I am blessed with a quirky sense of humor. It has gotten me through a lot of things.  I had my lips sewn together when I was sixteen and it was one of the funniest and most memorable six weeks in my life. I had a big white bandage covering my mouth when 3 college men came visiting their landlady who shared my hospital room with me.  They took one look at me sitting on the bed. "Look a girl that can't talk back!" One guy exclaimed.  I know this might not be funny these days but like I said, I have a sense of humor and it was many years ago. They trooped over and we had a great time.  I had to write notes because obviously I couldn't talk. I do wish I'd kept those notes.

I was staying with my aunt at the time and when I needed to get her attention I'd make a mmmm noise. Her dog knew I was talking to him and he'd run over and mmmm back.  My aunt and her partner would start laughing and of course I milked it for all I could.

There were other funny memories and I hope I always keep my sense of humor.

Laughing is so good for us that I created a fun page on Facebook where I post goofy, hilarious and yes some stupidly funny stuff on there.  If you want to visit and get some laughs come visit JM's Fun Page.

I love smiley's too. Here's a croc I bought. Yes I have the other one.
 

My sweetie likes to laugh and play too. 

How would you like to see this at your front door before Covid of course.

That's a good place for them. 

Yes, that's me in all my goofiness 

I'm enjoying blogging during the month of April with Effy and the wonderful bloggers here.

Life is Better When We Laugh - Day 8

My sense of humor has gotten me through a lot.  I don't know who I'd be without it.  

 Many years ago I was having a breast biopsy.  They had to stick a needle in my breast to show the surgeon where to cut so they took me to the mammogram room, stuck the needle in my breast, then clamped that machine down and took a picture.  Uh Oh, needle was in the wrong spot so it was taken out and reinserted.  Another clampdown and then they  WALKED AWAY and LEFT me there clamped down.  Not only was I scared about the upcoming surgery but I was left clamped down and couldn't move.  "There has to be something funny about this," I thought.  Sure enough, a silly thought came to me.  I'd be walking down the hall clamped down dragging the machine behind me.  "What time's breakfast?" I'd ask.

Ok maybe that isn't funny to you but it made me laugh and it sure took the edge off how scared I was.  (Everything turned out ok)

I had my lips sewn together when I was sixteen for more skin grafting for my cleft palate.  It was one of the funniest six weeks in my life.  I was staying with my aunt, who owned a dog named Middy.  Since I couldn't talk I had to make a noise to get my aunt's attention.  Middy thought I was talking to him and he'd come running.  Of course I played it up for all it was worth until I had my aunt and her friend practically rolling on the floor with laughter. 

Now this is funny.

Stupidly funny

Many years ago a friend and I belonged to this group that doesn't exist anymore. She created a Krazy Fun page and we'd all post silly stuff on it.  It was hilarious and we had such fun trying to outdo funny posts.

A few years ago I created my own fun page on Facebook and invited her to help me fill it with silly, stupid, outrageously funny posts.  It is very popular and quite active.  I deliberately go searching for silly memes, cartoons, silly songs and more. Many days it has uplifted me and changed my mood.  I've heard that others feel the change to when they come see what's been posted recently.
