Please Don’t Look for my Name in the Obituaries!!

So, I was in Target today and I ran into an old friend from college. I had seen her once before, so she already knew I had been sick. We were catching up & talking and she was apologizing for loosing my phone number. She said “I lost your number but I have been checking the obituaries for your name!!!!!” I am not making this up.

I thought my mom was going to come from behind me and rip her face off. I am sure I had a weird look on my face. I almost said, well, I’m not dead yet! But I was nice, I know she wasn’t trying to be mean, I think its funny! Sometimes I guess you have to remember that. It is truly amazing what comes out of people’s mouths sometimes!! So think before you speak & also, don't take it too personal, usually people aren't trying to be hurtful!
I just had to share this little jem!


sorry it's blurry it was so cold my camera couldn't focus!! :)

OMG um...wow, I guess you could talk about that for a looong time. Besides, it would be more practical to look for Gabe's name in the obits. than yours (Eric says so).

My God! Some people just don't know how to censor themselves. I can't imagine you and your mother's horror at her statement.

Glad to see you have a real coat on...

WOW---that was a jaw dropping moment! I would have been at a loss for words! -Anyway, 90 days cuz of Jonathan's punishment...part of the requirements for probation is NO DRINKING! One positive is that my fridge is stocked with juice and water sooooo my beer belly hasn't been stretching any bigger! Hope all is well!
