How sad is that?

Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion. It’s even better if you're crying because you’re laughing so hard.

This morning we were talking about a friend who succumbed to the call of the mini-van. I’m on my second one, so I don’t complain anymore. I love it, even if I don’t love it all the time. Lets face it, you don’t get noticed in a mini-van and I get more speeding tickets in one than I did in my yellow convertible.

Trying to put on my Pollyanna face I made the comment. “Oh, it’s ok, she’ll love it. As long as her husband still has a sexy car she can borrow sometimes”. And then we have the light bulb moment. “Shit, the Element is my sexy car, isn’t it? How sad is that?”

We laughed. That great kinda laugh that makes your whole body wake up. That one comment pretty much sums up this entire year for me. Yeah, I know, there are far worse things than getting old. But lets not forget, most of those reasons are made up by old people.
