Today's my off day. YAY!
My daughter started back to school last week, and seems to be adjusting to her new routine. Her present project is mailing a Pringles Potatoe chip to her teacher. It must arrive edible and in one piece. I'm dying to do it for her. But I won't.
My son started college Monday. He had only positive things to say about it except that his math teacher is retarded.
My pumpkin vine is growing like a, well....like a vine. It reminds me of jacks beanstalk. Except is doesn't grow upwards, it kinda just grows all over the ground. The flowers on it bloom for a few hours, and then die...they're beautiful...... there's new flowers each day. We have 1 pumpkin so far. It's the size of a softball, except it's oblong, and it's green....................and now I have 9 tomatoes! yay!
I went to a funeral today. The father of one of the boys who grew up with my oldest son died from a Heroine overdose. It's a sad, sad, everyone loses, situation.
I've been thinking a lot about my own death and funeral lately. I want to take care of all of the details so that my family doesn't have to deal with it. I'm just not sure what kind of funeral I want. I definitely don't want a funeral like the one I went to today! It's bad enough losing a loved one....and then to have to sit there and listen to some big, greasy, hung over preacher talking about a dead person he never knew, and debating outloud whether or not the dead guy had been saved .....I don't want that for my family. They deserve better...........and so I will give it more consideration, and then I will put in writing what I want, and I will pay for what ever it is that needs to be paid for for a funeral......and I will prepare my will.......yes, I will take care of all of that shit so that i can get on with my life, and breathe a little easier.....so there! Any ideas out there for a great funeral?

I have always been of the mind that the funeral is for the living. I'll be dead so I won't care what's going on. Why should they all be miserable. So I want mine to be a party.
Something like this...
A picture of me overlooking the festivities. A DJ that has a play list of my favorite songs to mix in with whatever everyone else wants to hear. An open bar. A live auction for people to bid on stuff that wasn't specified in my will with the profit going to a charity to find a cure for whatever killed me. A limo to drive all the drunk people home.
Maybe a little tacky but that's just me.
