Funeral to attend

Mike and I have a friend that we’ve known for many years.  She lost her Dad a couple of days ago and his funeral is Friday.  Belinda and I worked together in two different companies and she has since moved to Australia, where her husband is from.  She is the kind of friend that I can go years w/o talking to and when we meet back up, it’s just like no time has passed at all.  She called me yesterday and we talked for a while on the phone.  She asked if I was going to the funeral and quite honestly, I wasn’t going to.  I didn’t know her Dad and I figured she’d have so many people around that she’d not notice if I were there or not anyway.  Apparently, she thought different.  I told her I’d be there if she needed/wanted me and she jumped at that very quickly.  So….I’ll be attending a funeral tomorrow afternoon.  The viewing is this afternoon and so I told her that Mike and I would both be there for that and she was very happy to hear that.  It will be nice to see her, but at the same time, I wish it were under different circumstances. 

We had lunch catered in here at work today to celebrate a service anniversary of one of our designers.  35 years with the same company, unheard of these days!  The lunch was barbecue, which I’m not big on, but it was ok.  Being around my entire work group, away from our desks, was fun. 

I can’t believe tomorrow is Friday already.  This week has really flown by and I’m looking forward to the weekend.  The weather is supposed to be beautiful, so we’ll be outside as much as possible.  The seed starts we have going are HUGE and they need to be put into the ground.  It is probably a bit early, but we’ll just watch the temps close and cover them if needed. 

Mike found a salvage yard in Tulsa that he wants to go see this weekend.  I want to get my hair highlighted again and shaped back up, so if he does that, maybe I can get an appointment.  He has been doing lots of work on his Aspen and loves it.  It’s running into more money than I wanted right off the bat, but he’s slowed down on the spending for now, thank goodness. 

I’m sleepy.  I went to bed about 10:00 or so, but woke up a couple of times.  I was having some really weird dreams and they disturbed my sleep.  One of them I remember vividly and don’t have any idea where it came from.  You remember when you were little and make tents out of blankets and chairs?  The material was over you, but not ON  you?  Well, that’s what I woke up thinking I saw, a blanket or something over the top of me,like a canopy.  I didn’t have the blankets over my head or anything either and I was shivering so hard my teeth were chattering.  I turned my mattress pad up and finally fell back asleep, but wow.  Very strange.

Our Keith Urban tickets already came in the mail, very fast!  They are put up and I just can’t wait. 

Ok, rambling over.  Take care of yourselves and enjoy the rest of your afternoon!
