( :-) )

When I'm writing I tend to use parentheses quite a lot (possibly a sign of bad sentence structure) and have found a problem to which I'm sure there must be a standard solution. The question is: How do you put a smiley at the end of some bracketed words without it looking stupid. For example: (Here are some words in brackets :-) ) just looks a bit silly to me. My eyes keep telling me there's a bracket missing at the start. Is it just me? Maybe it's fine...
