Endless laughter is the best medicine for any occasion. I was recently in Walmart and came across Hallmark’s new Buzzworthy cards. These #TrendyCards are short witted and hilarious. Living in Texas, I’m far away from some of my closes friends. We all love a good laugh! What a perfect card collection to fit our friendship!

It all began the first day of kindergarten. I met Margo, Kasey and Desiree. Little did we know, 25 years later we would all still be the best of friends. Although we all live in different states, we try to stay in touch as much as possible. There are phone calls, texts, emails and cards. Usually preposterously silly. When we do get together, its as if we didn’t skip a beat. Anything goes. And we laugh. Boy, do we laugh!

This year is a big year for us – we all turn 30. Kasey requested a trip to Texas! Yea! In April, she came down to experience the Lonestar State. As always, we laughed our way through the four days. (I’m sure everyone looked at us like a bunch of laughing goons.) One day we were driving on a dirt road through middle of nowhere Texas. The windows down, radio on, laughing, as we do. I’m driving and all of a sudden, this MASSIVE (not sure if it’s “earthly”) bug flies through the window, lands on my lap and is still moving! Kasey swats the bug towards my feet. My heart sinks.

Me: “Why would you swat that towards my feet where I can’t see it?!”
Kasey: (Already laughing) “That things huge! I didn’t want to leave it on you.”

I pull over, open my drivers door, immediately hop out and kind of bend over to find this massive bug from outer space. It’s still slightly moving. It’s massive. I’m concentrating on how I can get it out of my car without touching it. As soon as it’s certain that all of my focus is on this alien-bug, I hear “SNAKE!”.

Good gosh! Where is the snake? Where is the snake?! Of course no quicker than I believe I’m going to need life support, does the hysterical laughter commence from the passenger seat of the car followed by “I can’t believer you fell for that!” We’re still laughing about it. When I say “we”, I mean Kasey.

This is our relationship. We know there we are there for each other no matter what circumstance or event. When we’re not together, we still find those moments of laughter through photographs, memes and silly jokes. When I came across the BuzzWorthy cards it hit the nail on the head! The worst part was picking just one!

For less than $2, these affordable cards provide a certified laugh that is priceless. The card selection changes often so there’s something for every season. I can’t wait until the holidays – I may need to make these my Christmas cards!

Texans may appreciate this one:

Inside: “I’ll always remember it as young and green.”

Welcome to wedding season!

Inside: “Nothing gets me all choked up like an open bar.”

Vermont is humid in the summer. So humid, this card sums up exactly how it feels and I can already hear Kasey laughing! Packaging in a few photos from her trip to Texas, this should provide a hearty laugh and great memories from our Texas Adventures. I can’t wait to be back in Vermont to reunited with my forever friends.

Inside: “Have a cool-ass summer.”

Good Morning Everyone!

How about a little humor in your day?! One of my friends from college has submitted a contribution to buzzfeed.com. If you are a female, I’m pretty sure you’ve experienced something that would fall into this category.

“Are You Single As F*ck?”

Here’s an example:

Please follow the link, check out the other nine lines and let’s give Bridget some support (or at the very least it will put a smile on your face and provide a good laugh)!

What are some lines that have been said to you that you just couldn’t believe?

Diana and Heather’s Awesome Adventure

(Writer’s Note: When better to write a post than when you’ve reached the “crash and burn” feeling after a long, eventful and absolutely amazing weekend… here we go.)

Earlier today, Heather and I returned home from attending BlogHer ’13 in Chicago. Returned, is the choice word because I think I speak for both of us when I say, it feels like we hit the Twilight Zone earlier. Let’s have a recap of the day.

BlogHer is amazing but let’s all face the facts… when it’s time to go, the swag takes up a lot of room. Our morning thoughts pretty much consisted of “I’m amazed this all fit in our bags!” and “This better be under 50 lbs.”

We dragged our bags out of the hotel (so thankful for wheels – best invention EVER) and grabbed a cab. Cab driver delivers girls, four suitcases, two large duffel bags and a purse to the train.

Yes, we did the cab to train route.

Yes, we had ALL.THAT.LUGGAGE.

Here, we came across realization…

#1: We appreciate Southern gentlemen and they don’t exist in Chicago.

It only took the 6th out of 7th high school young man to hold the train door for us while we and the small pharmacy in our bags (among other things) moved onto the train. (Props to you young man… you’ll be winning over the ladies later on.) Had we been in the South, this would’ve been done by the first (or second) man we ran into.

See you later Chicago! We will miss you.

Heather and Diana meet Midway Airport. (below)

This was just the line to have our ID’s and tickets checked.

It went by quicker than expected.

I can’t say the same about the security line…

We left the hotel three hours before our flight – and made it to flight while boarding.

We were the last two on the plane.

Our flight had a layover in Wichita, Kansas.
“Cool, we’ve never been to Kansas!”
Wrong….
We’re not going back to the Wichita Airport. (by choice)

We both fell asleep on route to our layover destination.

This is when I believe, we fell into the Twilight Zone.

Low and behold, I seriously thought I was going to see Michael J Fox or MC Hammer inspired outfits just start walking thru the airport.

Nervous? Very.

We saw the sign and this was said…

“Wichita is the ‘Air Capital of the World’ because no one wants to be ON THE GROUND.”

The Wichita airport is tiny.

There’s not a lot to eat.

We had to leave security to eat at Burger King.

Yes, we literally had to leave the secure area.

When we went back thru security, no line.

The carpet was from 1979 (if not earlier… probably earlier).

(Writer’s Note: We were told they are building a new airport and it should be opened next year. We’re cheering for a Auntie Annie’s Pretzels.)

Our layover was 2.5 hours. Obviously too long when mixed with exhaustion.

Finally, we board our second flight headed to the big D.

One hour flight and we land.

I check into Four Square and I’m not even kidding… this happens.

like DALLAS! WE ARE HOME!

(Well, close to it.)

Realization #3: There’s no place like home (even if it happens to be Love field).

Think we were happy?

Big hats, big belt buckles, big hair, tight jeans, boots and too much makeup means we’re back in Texas y’all! (And the airport décor also proves we’re back in 2013!)

Almost home…

We had to leave the airport.

We parked in airport parking which meant we needed to take a bus to get to the car.

Realization #4: Remember that issue with lacking Southern gentlemen in Chicago? Well, we have just the opposite problem in the South… Southern women. (Writer’s Note: Not all Southern women but be honest… you know which one’s I’m taking about.)

To the Southern men… Northern women is where it’s at!

The only thing that stood between us and getting on the bus was this Southern lady.

She tried to cut in front of us to get on the bus not once, but TWICE. The only reason it took TWO times was because the bus was full the first go around.

The bus actually went to her car first and I wish I was kidding when I say this happened…

The bus stops next to her car and opens the bus door.

She stands and as she is walking off the bus points her finger with the upmost arrogance towards the bags and says “The purple bag and the pink bag” and off she goes.

As they say in the South, “Bless her heart.”

We made it to our car. So did all our luggage.
