On Thursday, my co-podcaster, Shaun, and husband guy, takes over the blog.
He’s adorable. I hope you’ll read what he says even if he does occasionally sound like a surfer dude from the 1990s or Captain Pontification. And no, we don’t always agree. 🙂
Sometimes laughter truly is the best medicine!
I just pulled a teeny tiny prank on Carrie and the way she fell for it made me laugh so heartily, maybe for like a full minute in a half, that it made me feel the best that I have felt all day! It is after 6 P.M. and I am running late on my blog post. I had just told her that I was going to sit on the front porch and write it now and it was going to be about sex.
So, I took my laptop and I went and sat on the front porch.
Mind you, all of our windows are open and no matter where you are on the first floor, you can hear someone on the front deck if they want to be heard.
I sat down and created a fake document and opened my email.
I sent her the fake document entitled, Sex, Nothing Better! Ever!
It had no text. Just a title.
The next thing I hear through the window (because Carrie is always working and always at her computer) is this, “That was the fastest blogpost ever!”
I thought, “She hasn’t read it all yet, hehe.”
And then I hear, “OMG!!!!!!!!!”
That is when I started laughing! She pretty much fell for my stupid, little joke, hook line and sinker, as they say.
In reality she was probably sitting in front of her computer facing the approximate position of my front porch chair,, giving me the one finger salute, but with both hands.
But, she laughed. I laughed much, much longer and it felt good, so good!
My point is this, people, have some freaking fun once in a while! Life doesn’t have to be serious all of the time. Even if it sucks ass at the moment, you should still be able to have some laughter and light hearted moments on occasion!
Now my blogpost is done for realsies!
Remember to love one another and always, Love Your Way Through It!

It’s totally chill.
