I broke my favorite necklace. I broke it because I was laughing too hard. My neck size is the same, if not smaller than it was when I used to wear my favorite necklace more often. My favorite necklace is one of the few things that I did not give up when I downsized my life in 2004. There I was this past Saturday though, standing at a party crackling like a popcorn machine gone out of control. So mightily was I laughing that my neck bulged causing my favorite necklace to burst. I think that four years ago when I bought this necklace, I think that during those years, I couldn't have laughed this hard.
