Funny story of the day:
Dave (my boss) called me laughing and said, "Ash, I have the funniest story. I'm just not sure if you're going to laugh or get very angry with me." Then he proceeded to tell me about his morning:
I was driving along, answering phone calls, taking care of business, doing my normal routine. Jon called me and I had to call him back because I was in the middle of other calls. So I took care of my other calls and completely forgot about Jon. I was just strolling down the highway, content and happy as a bug. I wasn't listening to the radio or anything, I was just in my own happy place, completely unaware of anything else I had to do. Then, I started laughing hysterically! And I said to myself, "Oh my gosh!! This is the happy place that Ashlee goes to!" [This is the point at which I started laughing hysterically.] I finally remembered and called Jon back and told him the whole story and he laughed and said, "Do you think that's a place Ashlee just goes, or do you think she lives there?" [More hysterical laughter on my part.]
He assured me that they weren't making fun of me, that they just love me so much and that's why they think it's funny. I told him I think it's great to be a person that's thought of as being generally happy in and of myself without any other influences. Naturally, I instinctively dismissed any thought of implications relating to my being slightly oblivious to the world around me or forgetful of what I'm doing. That was just Dave :)
And I'm off!

Ash I love your blog. It is so fun to read.
I can hear that conversation taking place between you, Dave and Jon. Makes me feel right at home :) Love and miss you.
What's neat is that you go to that happy place without any prescription drugs.
That is sooo funny! :) I can just hear Dave now! :)
