When you need a good Laugh - Go buy a Greeting Card!

I went to the store to get a good/funny birthday card for a friend turning 70, and found so many, and actually found myself chuckling in the aisle.

Then when I was done, there were two other people in the aisle also looking for cards, and was really fun watching them laugh or chuckle out loud! They probably didn't even realize (like me) that they were chuckling out loud!

I love watching people, but never have thought about a greeting card store or even an aisle at the grocery store. It was quite entertaining!

We can always use a laugh or a chuckle each and every day, just find a way to do it!

Good morning Joan. Nothing like people watching at a grocery store or any greeting card aisle in any store. It is a reminder of how silly I must look to others, ha, ha. Enjoy your day.

Rather than silly, they probably get a few giggles by watching you!

Good morning, Joan... I'm a big believer in a good belly laugh a day... maybe even two or three!

Some of the cards in the stores are very creative. I often have a giggle myself

I totally agree, I have caught myself apologizing for laughing so hard and loud at our local store.

Like I said above, probably others in the aisle had to smile, chuckle or laugh at you laughing. It is infectious.

Hi Joan,
I've found myself doing the same thing while searching for just the right card.

Joan Cox oh the card isle, it can definitely be a fun experience. When Valentines comes around, my husband likes to go about two weeks ahead of time. He doesn't want to be the husband like many others looking at the last minute.

It IS super fun to read funny cards in the stores, isn't it! Your blog brings back cute recollections. I just went through sorting two DRAWERS full of blank cards that belonged to my mother. Inspired me to send out more!

Oh my gosh, Joan- Your post brought back memories when I used to buy many more cards than I do now. I too stood in front of the cards and chuckling or laughing. My friend's mother who is 106 told her friends not to buy her birthday cards anymore. She said they cost too much and then you throw them away.

Hello Joan - while not necessarily funny all the time, people-watching is a sport where I can and do participate. It's perhaps the best form of entertainment - and, of course, it's free!
