Things We Should do More Often

Tonight Alex went to the wake of a co-worker's wife... I've never heard of attending a wake for someone you don't know but was married to someone you know a bit because you work with... in the end I decided not to go.

However, Alex had a point. His mother passed on two years ago, and he said a large number of people from his work came, and he was glad to see them. So. If the husband is like my husband, then I probably should have gone, though it seems that hundreds of people turned out, so I probably wasn't noticably missing.

But. And it's an unsure but. I am a more private person... if Alex or my parents were heading up with the Angels, I don't know that I would want complete strangers coming to view their wordly bodies. I'd want peace and privacy. I think. It's really hard to think about.

So since I had come along to the town of the wake, and THEN decided I wasn't going, I got to spend a couple of hours with my F-I-N and B-I-N. I know we don't go nearly enough, and neither of us has anything against going, it's only that they live 40 minutes away, on route to nothing, so we don't ever just pass through. So it was good to be there!

I Heart Magic Erasers

I LOVE Mr Clean Magic Erasers!

They are amazing, and I highly recommend them for any of your cleaning needs! I have to be honest... our tub was in a state. And a light rub of the magic eraser... and it was clean...

It worked so well I stayed up in bed thinking of all the things I could clean. And the next day I set to cleaning all sorts of things that I never thought would be clean again.

Go out! Buy one! And no... I'm not getting paid to say this :P

Not Me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to http://www.mycharmingkids.net">her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

This week I did not;

- send my baby in for a hair cut and return to find her SHAVED! Poor thing almost got left there since we didn't recognize her!

- eat melted marshmellows from the microwave... that would be sooooo unhealthy!

- wash my hair only when the grease started rubbing off on my clothing. That would be childish and wouldn't look at all professional.

- snip at hubby because he asked a question while we were cleaning... of course if he had just explained he was done, then I totally would have!

- nearly have 1 and 1/2 christmas gifts ready to go!
