Like my fb status said drunkenly last night.... I cut my finger pretty bad at the bar last night (don't ask) and my friend was like "I didn't think you actually bled" and then someone else commented "It's red? hmm, I always figured you would bleed black".

I have no idea how I get this reputation!

Shira, if we ever worked together in the kitchen, one of us would end up "sous le terre." And I have my suspicions who it would be.

Tink, I always thought you, like me, would bleed blue. Or clear.

Thanks, cuz!

So hubby went to his friend's wak last night. It was held at his home - much like poeple did way back when. The coffin was sitting in the living room, where the cooffee table usually sits. I know this used to be done all the time, but something about having a coffin in the living room really creeps me out. I guess funeral homes were invented for people like me. I told hubby that I don't want to be waked at home - keep me at the funeral home. He said, "No problem. The way you pile up books, magazines, clothing and shoes around here, we'd never have the room to lay you out." Good to know - I'll keep it up.

Oh, and they apparently did have quite the food service during this wake. There were three rooms (it's a huge mansion) with dinner buffets, including carving stations and a dessrt bar. Maybe that's why they had it at home. Now that part I do like.

Morning.

Wow, yeah, I have never been to an at home wake and I think it would be freaky. But that meal plan does sound good.

Happy Friday!

Wow. I've never been to a wake held in someone's home. I remember my grandmother telling me stories about that.

When I was a kid, I was friends with a girl who was friend's with the daughter of one of the Funeral Directors in town. Most of the Funeral Homes in my area the family lives above or next to it, and Mary said when she used to sleep over, they would sneak down to the coffin room or go check out whoever might be laid out there at the time. I don't think I would've been so adventurous, but who knows.

I almost bought a Victorian house years ago that actually had a small front parlor, steps from the street that was intended for just that purpose ... walk/drive by viewings. I've got it in my will that there will be no funeral; but one hell of a blow out party with open bar, instead.
