things to remember

things I need to remember whilst blogging.

1. my own url, for when I'm commenting on or at other bloggers blogs.

2. open microsoft word to use for spell check at other bloggers blogs..

and now for something completely different...

We had to do two wakes today, one for a neighbor from the old neighborhood and the other for my wifes sisters husbands mother. Would that be my bro in laws mother?
The best part, if there is such a thing about wakes and attending them, they were at the same place.
Another good thing, one was from 1pm to 5pm and the other was from 4pm to 8pm, which worked out nicely as I'm working nights. I got to bed around 10isham and got up 3:30ish.
So we hit the tail end of the first one and the begining of the second.

Other things I notice about wakes....

Other than the obvious, it's easier to be on the greeting side of the line than it is being in the " I'm sorry for your lose" side.... I found that at Stephanie's, our daughter when she died.
Ya still don't know everyone, but it's easier to say thanks for coming and pass that person on than it is saying you're very sorry 10 or more times just like the guy or gal who just went in front of you.
Another thing is that the older the person is the lines are way shorter as is the wait. That most come with age, one gets to a point in ones life and most of your friends have passed on.

so, how was your day.

blogging

as long as I'm posting comments on other peoples blogs I should try to keep mine up to date just in case someone stops by to see who the hell this guy is....

xmas holidays

I was able to get my shopping done on monday and tuesday, couple of gift cards and money cards, for parents and nephews, wifiepoo had already done the hardcore gift shopping everybody else.
We did gifts the 24th at home with Sky, as that's when we get her, xmas eve. Mike, Kristen and Lilly came over as well. I got a new digi camera, I had been using Stephs, but it went through the wash and the flash didn't work. Great for outdoors, daytime pics, but wasn't good at all inside.
We do xmas dinner xmas eve at my parents, the whole clan and gifts for everyone too. After which we took Sky to her other grandparents and hung out awhile before heading home to await santa.
So new cam and there will be some new pix coming, someday.
see ya
