    Laughter... The BEST Medicine

    Ya know... I didn't GO to Savannah to SEE Savannah. Savannah was just sort of the icing on the Friendship Cake. I went there to visit with a group of ladies that I have become SO close friends with through this wonderful world of blogging! Of course, we did do a little sight seeing - and that was FUN! But I have to tell ya... the best ... the very BEST part of the gathering was the laughter! And one night stands out above all others. Two of our little giggle-butts got going and we really feared the rest of us would get NO sleep this night! Yes! Daisy and Jen were still up giggling at 3:00 in the morning --- looooooong after I had locked them out of my room! (but not before I captured a good bit on ... pixels)

    It all started when Jen decided to spray paint her hair purple! (in all honesty - we had the spray on hand because the plan HAD been that all the gals would paint their hair the night I dyed mine... but somehow that night got entirely too busy and too fun, and we simply forgot to do it!) So Jen and I went out (secretly) and she sprayed her hair...


    When this was done, she suddenly remembered the tongue tattoos I had bought -- also for the night of the slumber party -- which had also been forgotten! So we went into the kitchen (secretly) and she chose a tattoo!

    This one says "Hug Me"

    Then we went off to find the others ... who were playing in the computer room... The Laziest Daisy of them all was in a heated SNOOD tournament with Handsome Mr. Mike! Sweet Sandy was the cheerleader! However, the fun was only getting ready to begin...

    In walks Jen...

    ... which tickled Daisy's fancy to no end...

    ... causing a real OH WOW moment!
    (now you know... the fingers are W's and the mouth is an O!)

    Of course... what ONE does in Savannah, must be done by all... or at least partially... so it was only a few moments before the rest of us were sporting tongue tattoos also!

    There was even a DAISY for Daisy!

    Now mind you... if it were not for the fact that Sandy and I both used the tattoos too, we would have sworn that they were laced with crack! (we know they weren't - because imagine this - Sandy and I stayed sane!) From this moment forward Jen and Daisy were a RIOT!

    Over the course of the week, these two had developed
    their own "sign language". As Jen explains it "neither one
    of us understands it - but we have it!" They proceeded to
    speak their unintelligible sign language to each other for
    the next several hours !!!

    Sandy and I finally got so tired we could hardly see straight and we went to bed! I was laying in bed reading, and had JUST fallen asleep (was sort of in that inbetween stage between reality and dreamland...) when I suddenly had TWO other people lying on top of me in my weeee itty bitty little cot of a single bed!!! Truly! I was sleeping on the trundle part of a trundle bed - perfect for just ME - but not so perfect for THREE! Thankfully the bed did NOT collapse as I would have hated to have to give Sandy THAT news in the morning!!! LOL! I squirmed out of the mess (oh yes - they were TICKLING me!) OY! (total conspiracy, I tell ya!)

    I snapped this as they were in absolute HYSTERICS
    over the whole thing! Notice that Jen is getting purple
    hair paint all over MY pillow!!! LOL!


    In an attempt to calm themselves they took a deep breath
    and tried a moment (brief moment) of meditation...

    It was a nice try ...

    ... but a complete failure!

    Ohhhhhh well!
    Ya gotta LOVE 'em!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    On a side note...

    Hubby MISSED me while I was gone!
    Look what he got me!
    I will be riding in comfort from now on!
    (it is very hard to go long distances on the back of a
    motorcycle with nothing to lean on... I appreciate
    that he took care of this for me!)

    You can BET we will be riding this weekend! :)

    Those are some great pictures..I like the one of Daisy just losing it!! Since she did that quite a lot while she was here.
    I remember that night because I was trying desperately to sleep but more worried for my hubby who had to get up really early the next morning. He did fine though. I am better now with sleep!! I thought i would never catch up. Love your post. Miss you too..Sandy

    Well, I'm sooo glad that you had such FUN!!!!! Loved the tattoo's and the hat's!!!

    ...and the giggles in the night...

    No, there is no better medicine than laughter! I'm sure it's extending your life with several years - not only the mouth.... *giggles*

    i do believe it all has to do with letting go of day to day stress..and that's better than any medicine one could take!

    so glad you had such a good time!!!

    Senator, I have no recollection of that event! I'll take the 5th amendment! (said, while signing to Jen!)

    I ride a bike too. My wife was very appreciative as well when I purchased my sissy bar. She said that she felt like she was always about ready to fall off the back end.
