Friday Frivolity: Happy
I’ve been thinking about the small things that make me happy. And there are loads (god I’m lucky). But here are five.
Piglets
I’ve always had a soft spot for pigs. One day, I will have one as a pet. There is something about their noses that makes me happy. And the grunting sounds they make. Seriously. Some chicks go fluffy over kittens, I’m a sucker for a little pink porker.
Kermit the Frog
My grandfather had a VHS copy of the Muppet Movie which I watched over 200 times, I’m sure. I was Miss Piggy (aah, more pigs) and my cousin was Kermie. We still call each other Kermie and Piglet when we’re feeling silly.
Kermit is also a fukken hot super star. His number one hit, “Lydia the Tattooed Lady”, I share with you: http://www.box.net/shared/f1yagb1gk0
Verve Cliquot
I’ve got a bottle in my fridge. It makes me happy just knowing I’ve got it. I almost don’t want to drink it. But I will. And it won’t necessarily be a special occasion. But it’ll make it one.
Books
Between a hugely successful visit to the Community Chest Carnival’s Book Tent (where you can buy books by the kilo) and bookclub last night, I have enough books to keep me happy for a couple of months. Which is like a slice of heaven. Book choice makes me happy. What to read next? What to read next?
Laughing
Last night, after a week of not laughing, I laughed until I was silly with laughter. You know? When you laugh until you've forgotten why you were laughing. Until you're laughing for the sake of laughing. I can’t tell you how light it made me feel.
God, it's going to be a good weekend.

Kittens...
1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.
2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.
4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Don't worry about the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power-wash and rinse".
6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.
9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.
Sincerely,
The Dog
and yet another
reason i do not eat pork. piglets are just so darn cute.
every heard of those laughter seminars? no for me personally, but i hear it does wonders.
what were you laughing at by the way?
Aslam
I don't know. Can't remember. But it doesn't really matter. The laughter was the thing.
And ja. I've been to a laughter class. They are fab. A bit stupid at first, but you feel so good afterwards.
Remember as a kid when you'd laugh so hard you'd have to hold your tummy?
yep
but my best is laughing so hard that i start crying.
then getting slapped in the face by my friend because he thought i was hysterical.

Sometimes the smallest dumbest thing will set me and my daughter off....don't see her too often...but it starts out with a giggle and escalates from there to raucous belly laughter...at each other and sommer EVERYTHING...it's the best of times, I tell you.

You know how happy you'll be once my 14 family members have left your place in April. Please can you help?
Spoegs baby
Can they all fit in one sleeping bag?
Dolce - What if?
We zip a whole bunch of sleeping bags together. One problem Uncle Klosnoklench has a lot of gas - he often has to sleep in his own room. I'll send them down with enough air freshener as a sign of my goodwill.

Verve Cliquot and books by the kilo?
*drool*
And those pigs. They're cute when they small but they grow into demons. I bought a Chinese miniature once on a whim and it grew into this huge monstrosity that would nip me and my house mates if we didn't feed him soon enough. We lived in fear of the fat-bellied monster who was eating us out of house and home. Eventually gave him away to a hungry looking farmer who arrived in a truck and swore on his mother's life that he was a vegetarian.

You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
Haha VL
the funny thing was, I bought two books I already had, just in case I didn't have them, and then I would. So now I'm going to have to weed out the repetitions.
And, look, I have to be honest, I'm partial to bacon. And I can't ever have a pig in my current hooose. But I'm gonna. One day, I'm gonna. (Actually, come to think of it, it's the only reason I think George Clooney is sexy. Ok. Not the only reason.)
Dolla
so what were you laughing at?
Dex...
...a drunk piglet reading a book...
Oh and...
...being shagged by Kermit...
Mica
What's long, green and smells of pork?
Kermit the Frog's Finger.
Why can't Miss Piggy count to 70?
At 69 she's got a frog in her throat.
oh bloody hell
that's funny Dolla.
A frog in your throat
is better than a toad in your hole.
i guess
you're not one for a tadpole?
Ew
eyes and brain now need to be scrubbed.
Sies Dex.
Sies?
I just wonder how you're gonna explain those warts to the geonocologialimist.

Rough Rider
Ah.
The Frog People, indeed. Always smiling and applying soothing ointment to their dirkies.
OK, you win
I can't keep this up.
*retch*
*heave*

*ribbit*
