Good news! Got the splinter out of my foot. It's been there for a few days. I picked at it until it got sore and then limped for a few days until it worked its way back to the surface. It's out now! Huzzah. Also, got my computer back. My arm is complete again.

Bad news... Inlaws. Yee-eeesh.

Weird news? I went to a wake for one of my Dad's cousins this evening. I had never met the poor lady, but there were some characters at her wake I won't soon forget. The first person I saw going into the room was an older man in full black leather biker regalia, down to the gloves. He had a full beard, long ponytail, and a cane with a golden cobra head on it. There was also a second cousin that I mistakenly thought was a woman for the first hour, only to be told later that she was the oldest son. Oops. I did make some decisions about my own future funeral, though. 1. Closed casket, because I don't want relatives petting my corpse. And 2. There should be food. Good food. And lots of it. Like a buffet.

... if you die before I do, come haunt me good. But make sure I know it's you. I don't want to have to get the salt and rosemary and amythst out for nothing. When I die, I am going to insist that everybody come to my funeral in ballgowns. Even the men. Maybe especially the men.

In one of the Sweet Potato Queen books, one of them threatens to bury a misbehaving friend in a biege pantsuit that's two sizes too small so she'd look fat. Then they'd set up a recording of her voice to say things like "Thanks for coming!", "Cute shoes!" and "Tell your mom I said Hi!" to the funeral guests. I think I'm gonna use that threat on my sisters.
