I went to a wake/funeral/interment AND met with my lawyer
today

My lawyer and I got the ball rolling on the agreement. He is very pleased that the stbe is co-operating.. :eyes:

He is going to write it up, we will go over everything after I get back from Boston. Then he will give me a copy to give to stbe so he can look over it with his lawyer (if he gets one) and if they agree... we can be divorced before my cruise and I'll be single...... so why do I feel so god damn sad...... :cry: :cry:
you would think I should be happy, look at the positives... I think there might be some, i dunno
fuck, does it get better????????? I hope to hell it does and soon.....



now the morning part of my day was spent at this do it all in one day funeral


The funeral was for a friends mom, they are Serbian so the church and interment were very interesting... and so different. The church was beautiful and the singing was nice....
Only thing is it's about 40 minutes long..... standing. One of the rituals they do is open the casket and everyone walks to the deceased and kisses a HUGE cross they are holding.... some people bent down to kiss it, others picked it up and some people kissed there fingers and touched the cross.
We went to the cemetery and on the way there we were talking about how they don't lower caskets in the ground while the family is still there... at least any of the funerals we had been to.....
Well guess what they did??? lowered the casket in the ground and we threw our flowers into the grave.... a very different experience


how is everyone tonight????

having a glass of wine, toasting my health, because right now its about the only thing going right in my life.....
Then I have a meeting.....

3. you're going on a cruise with your mom, right?
Well, you will both be single on it then.. so you two should try and just have as fun a singles trip as possible. I'm sure there are books you can get with ideas and stuff.

7. ah, got my DUers mixed up.
lo siento. you should just go without any inhibitions or preconceived notions and follow wherever the trade winds may take you. As the great philosopher, Cindy Lauper, once said, "girls.. they just want to have fun."
