usmcsis's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- happy monday i just got home and wolfed down a cheeseburger. once again, missy and i spent the entire day at grandma's house and forgot to eat. every day we've been over there we've been so busy that we've forgotten to eat and then we feel like ass later on in the evening. anyway, so she was bringing me home and we swung through the burger king drive thru for some fast food goodness. i have to be ready for visitation in just about an hour. mama and daddy are both taking naps. i need to wake them up in a little bit but i'm enjoying the quiet at the moment. i would give just about anything to be able to take a nap myself at this point though. i am so tired i can't think straight. missy is the same way so we've both been having issues all day. neither of us can hardly speak a full sentence. it's actually kind of funny, in a i'm so tired i want to cry kind of way. anyway, so we finished the memory boards and took them to the funeral home so that they could be framed before everyone gets there tonight. no one but us and missy's husband have seen the finished product and we want to surprise our parents with them. the funeral director has been really nice. of course, he gets paid a lot of money to be really nice, but he has really been just terrific. when we were framing the boards, he stepped back and said, "girls, let me tell you this. i've seen a lot of these memory boards done, but i have never seen any that looked this good." yay for us. we took a lot of time and put a lot of effort into making them. we want people to know how we remember her and to remember her that way too. anyway, he, mike the funeral director, asked our permission to take pictures of our boards to show future clients. nifty. okay, i have to go now. i have to pee and it's past time to start getting ready and i guess i need to wake my parents up so they can get ready too. oh, sorry about the oversharing part but really, you guys should be used to that by now. i really am dreading tonight and i am putting off getting ready as i sit here and write another paragraph instead of just clicking the little done button down there. but it has to be done and it'll all be okay. so i'm going now. toodles 4:40 pm - 29 Nov 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
