I have spent more money on clothes, shoes, and jewelry in the past two days than I usually do in a year… okay, by “clothes” I am referring to dress clothes and not every day stuff, but still…
The last funeral I’ve been to was my Great Uncle Ken… and I was 13, didn’t have to [...]

I’d write an R.I.P. post, but quite frankly, I’m not in the mood to, no one likes to read eulogies for people they don’t know, and it all seems rather… tacky? to do so.  So I’m not.   She died last night around 10:30, I wasn’t on that visit, if you want more details talk to Mom.  [...]

Went to Rick’s birthday party yesturday.  Wasn’t too bad.  Sat with Joanna & her family, chatted with them & Rick’s sister and neice.  (His neice has an adorable little baby, probably 7 mos., but she was feeding him jello straight off of the stained tablecloth that doesn’t look like it’s been washed in years…)  Gave [...]

As Sean reminded me, it’s been a while… okay, it’s been a month and a week or so.
