Finding the Funny

We all know that when you hear the collie bark the saying goes, "What's that girl? Timmy fell down the well?"
Everyone know that is from The Lassie Show even if you are too young to have watched the show it's been in our lexicon forever it seems.
I found it interesting to recently read that Timmy never did fall down a well on the television show. This was never uttered even once.  It just became a "symbol" shall we say of the show.

Lassie was pretty amazing and as a young girl I wanted a dog like that in the worst way.
Instead I got Izzy. Oh I adore her. She's smart and stubborn and pretty.
(no I'm not talking about myself I'm talking about Izzy)
But I don't think Izzy could 'fetch' help if I fell in the well.
She'd see a bunny to chase, food to eat, or a puddle to swim in and she'd forget all about me.
She's a beautiful dog who is scared of the flapping flag outside and the boxer dog across the street. But I'll keep her.

In other random TMI moments here is one from last evening.
I was lying on one end of the sofa and Rick and the dog were on the other end.
(yes the dog now can go on the furniture with the area of the blanket - i broke my rules)

I felt something on me like a bug go down my shirt.
I quickly sat upright and began to remove my shirt. It freaked me out.
As I remove my shirt my ever so helpful husband grabs at my boobs.
He begins to tune in Tokoyo. You all know what that means I am sure.
Every dumb ass boy has done and said that.
Anyway as he does this I yell, "hey these don't change the damn channel buddy"
Then like magic, at the same exact damn time the channels begin to flip rapidly.
We both looked at each other and laugh and say, "What the hell?!!"

I  jumped up off the sofa and Rick is now looking for the remote.
We were laughing so hard. C'mon what are the chances of that?
Apparently when I had jumped from him grabbing at me I moved and sat on the remote.

Seriously I am beginning to think a higher power is messing with us.
We have both been so depressed, scared and miserable about our life of late and yet we are given these very funny moments. I am thankful because these moments literally come at a time when we need them so. The levity does wonders for the soul.
But honestly I'd prefer cash. Buckets of cash to get us out of this mess.
I can laugh without stress just as well as with it. Even better in fact.
So if there is a higher power doing all this - Skip it - skip the funny with the stress.
Just give us the no stress life, less stress life at the very least, and we'll find the funny on our own.
Trust me on that.
