Winning Laughter

A great big CONGRATULATIONS to the talented Brian Miller of WaystationOne for winning my CSNStores.com $100 Gift Certificate Giveaway. I'm a big Brian Miller groupie and truly love his writing. Please stop by, checkout his amazing posts and send a congrats on his win.

But before you go, this video was on the local news last night and made me so darn happy that I wanted to share it with you. The laughter of this baby is contagious and reminded me that the little things in life can fill you with joy-- Or at least a fun case of the giggles.


Hope you have a good belly laugh today!

  1. I really enjoy Brian's poetry and writings, too....I would have loved to win the giveaway but it couldn't go to a nicer man.

    What a delightful video. You know, I rip up all sorts of bills but it doesn't fill me with that sort of glee. I guess I'd have to pay them in full ( which isn't going to happen since the job loss ) to elicit a real belly laugh! ).

  2. Oh yay! I love it when the winner is someone I know and like. I'm so happy for Brian.

    This child is adorable. That laughter is so infectious.. I get a kick out of hearing the Dad's laugh too as he enjoys his daughter's glee. So sweet. Thanks for sharing.

  7. Reminds me of when Joey was about 10 months old (maybe younger) and he laughed a big ole belly laugh when I put one of his shoes on my head. It was grand!

  32. A childs belly laugh is contagious yu have to laugh even if you are not in the mood. Children are also a window onto what is required out of life to make you happy, 'paper ripping' how simple is that!!

  33. Hi Joanna! Long overdue greetings from Casa Hice! Thanks so much for visiting me at Boozy Tooth and leaving such a funny comment. Made my day!

    I have been so absent from the blog scene that it's a rush seeing you and reading about Brian Miller (who I also owe a long overdue visit!).

    Saw the baby video today on another site and was so amazed by how pure joy is, you know? So pure a little baby has mastered it. How I wish we could all feel such unmitigated joy every single day!

    PS: My son Jordan just moved into a new apartment in Hollywood. I don't have his address yet, but I hear it's a nice place and know he's very very happy there. Last Sunday, he texted me a photo from a very barricaded Hollywood Boulevard of the Kodak Theater while the Academy Awards red carpet activities were in progress! He said the noise was deafening from the media stand and all the screaming fans. How marvelous to be there, soaking up all that show business. Look him up if you're ever having dinner at Ruth's Chris in Beverly Hills!

  35. My daughter told me about this video but it's the first time I've seen it - brilliant!

  36. Sweet video. There's something primal about rippage, which (I guess) explains the enduring popularity of farts!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Yeah for Brian! Is he not just simply amazing?

  38. Reminds me of the day I ripped up my marriage license.
