My mother wants "In the Garden" and "There is a Balm in Gilead." She has informed me sternly that if "Nearer My God to Thee" is played, she will haunt me.
I want my friends to get drunk and sing "Will the Circle Be Unbroken."
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

We are short two hymns and/or songs for my grandfather's funeral and no one can decide what to use.
At my mom's memorial, we used "Ah, leave me not to pine" from The Pirates of Penzance. And something from Bach that I'm not remembering right now.

It's not specifically funereal, but I've always thought Pat Benatar's "One Love" had an uplifting message and would sound beautiful sung as a choral number.

My sister played Ashokan Farewell at my mom's.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nope. So far I've been too lazy to look at tumblr.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I just had a stranger basically tell me to watch my language regarding a comment on SOMEONE else's Facebook status update. WTF?

T-day plans finally set. Not going to St. Louis for our big family extravaganza. It's always really fun, but I'm busy enough and exhausted enough that I just wasn't feeling it. And that's before considering the 6 hour drive and having to get a hotel, because I'd have to take the dog with me.
In lieu of that, I've somehow agreed to go to T-day at my sister's boyfriend's parents' house. Hmm. Well, the food will be good, and there will be football. Hopefully won't be too awkward.
