What's making me smile now is a joke I heard this weekend: A woman walked into a bar and asked the bartender for a double entendre…so he gave it to her.

Wendy, I can send you a photo of some green grass, if you like. :)

Amie, you had me laughing out loud! I wouldn't mind paying to be slapped around like that, either!

Same with me, Delena. My children make me smile, as does my husband, as do my parents and sibs.

And Lost? LOVE.

Eddie's hilarious!

The show Lost makes me smile.

Writing makes me smile.

So does cooking, and talking to my younger sisters on the phone.

But most of all, my daughter makes me smile. She's adorably adorable. =)

Depends on the day. Today, it was a half-hour foot reflexology session followed by a half-hour acupressure treatment. I've never been so happy to be slapped around by a tiny Asian woman.

I like green grass. Too bad I haven't seen it for awhile now.

Glad you appreciate Sir Chudleigh's name, Lori! My neighbor actually said to me, "You're not really going to name him that, are you?" Yes, it's fun!

But of course a woman who names a cat Pusslington Q. Paddington III appreciates the humor of it! Bravo!

This blog post made me smile today, too.

Okay, I'll play, just as soon as I stop laughing!

my grandkids
my kids
MzTiz the tabby who lives with me
The canyon I look at and the birds there
My readers, my guest posters, good coffee, rainbows... oh dear, I'm about to get really sappy... will go back to laughing instead.

Have a great weekend all.

You're part of what makes me smile here every day, Cathy. :)

Gabriella, only a writer would find such a COOL name for a dog! :) I get it. I named my parents' cat Pusslington Q. Paddington III.

Hugh, thanks for the laugh! And I'm the same - when He comes home, you can't wipe the smile from my face.

Jake, I laughed so loudly they all came asking what was so funny. :)

Prayers to your friend in Tokyo, Paula.

Michelle, that's one of the funniest scenes! That and "I claim this country for England."

And the Indian people say "You can't claim it - we live here!"

"Do you have a flag? No flag, no country! Can't have one!"

Saw him in Manhattan. Worth the late-night drive home!

Eddie Izzard is a genius. I was lucky to see him a few times. I actually had to take a nap during "Circle" because I was laughing so hard, my brain nearly shut down. I still haven't lived that down.

Favorite Eddie quotes - how can you pick? "You're a plumber? What on EARTH is that?"

Have a lovely weekend and keep smiling everyone.

I'm smiling today because March 11 is the 11th anniversary of the day my dog adopted me. (I had no intention of getting a puppy until she curled up in my arms and fell asleep. Such a con artist - turns out she hates snuggling. Yet she still makes me smile.) Lucky 11-11.

Other things making me smile today: Spring has nearly sprung; the irksome article is done; I just ate some chocolate; I have a light workload today. I'll be happier once I hear back from my friend in Japan that she and her family are okay (they're in Tokyo, which bodes well).

I also love U2, Lori, but I've never seen Rattle and Hum. I interviewed Grant and Jason from Ghosthunters a few years ago, and when asked the scariest thing he'd encountered, Jason said it was one of his plumbing clients.

Oh, and after reading the comments above, I'm also happy that I can't tell a joke to save my life. That means no one expects me to remember jokes.
