Daily: Have a good laugh at least 1x (Happiness Manifesto Declaration #8)

I received this link in an email I got today. I thought it was pretty funny and something that would definately happen around here, unfortunately – enjoy!

A tune has been in my head all morning and I just figured out it’s the tune they play in The Holy Grail during the scenes where the knights are “riding” along on their quest. It’s no doubt one of my favorite movies and I’m going to have to watch it soon to get the song out of my head!!

I had dinner with my sister and her fiance at my favorite Mexican restuarant tonight. Besides the food being extremely good, the main reason I like it so much is because the decor cracks me up! The owner seems to be a little, um, stuck on himself. There are paintings and photographs all over the restaurant of him riding horses and/or in traditional Mexican dress. There’s a twelve foot wide mural painted on the wall featuring a little village with a bull ring and the owner, front and center (and the largest image in the mural). His face is also painted on the front window of the restaurant on the inside of a huge Christmas wreath. He’s on the restaurant’s sign too. I can’t imagine owning a restaurant and putting myself in every picture and on every paintable surface in the whole building!

I’m watching it right now and it’s actually making me laugh out loud (while I’m sitting here by myself). Justin Timberlake is surprisingly funny or maybe my expectations weren’t that high! Either way, him rapping and dancing while dressed as a giant Cup O’Soup was pretty funny to me – I needed a good laugh!

Had a good laugh with a co-worker today over a story she was telling me about a medical procedure her husband had recently gone through. I won’t relay the story but I will say that it involved the doctor saying, “looking really good,” about a part of the anatomy that doesn’t usually get compliments.

I went with my family to eat lunch at an oyster bar near my grandmother’s house. When we were walking through the restaurant being seated I noticed a man dressed as Santa sitting at a table by the door, drinking a beer and eating steamed shrimp. I really wished I had my camera. I guess even Santa needs a break during the holidays!
