July 31 I have a few requests upon my death....*wink*When I die, I have a few things in mind. I think I want to be cremated and my ashes scattered along the lakeshore up on Erie. I think I want a light-hearted memorial service held in a non-denominational location....not a funeral parlor preferably....maybe a yacht club hall....LOL. A natural sort of place. Anyhow....I don't want any longwinded ministers - maybe a few friends or relatives could pep up the crowd....lol. At the end and for the most part, I want music and pictures....lots and lots of pictures....shown on a wall in larger than life format in a darkened room. Photos of me and all of those that have come in and out of my life. With fur and without...LOL. And that's how I want to be remembered. In memory of all of those wonderful moments in my life, for every photo...imagine how many more there have been that weren't captured to be shared another day. I have been blessed and everyone should know on that day, that I died knowing just that.

Yeah, I know ...... weird, morbid and several other adjectives come to mind. I heard the song on TV - "In the Arms of the Angels" by Sarah McLachlan .....she is now accompanying the Humane Society - her and her song ...... in a commercial. Anyhow, I've probably mentioned before that I've always wanted it played at my funeral...and today, just now, when I thought about my funeral....I REALLY thought about it! lol Had to get it off my chest I guess....
AND I have no time for this! Leaving tomorrow for 10 up at the lake. Things are going so-so....but MUCH better with Tyler.
Gotta run....take care....hugs to all!
Music to die for.....ewwww.....I know!!!! LOL
YouTube - arms of the angels by Sarah Mclachlan amv
This would be one of the songs I would want played....I have others....*smiles* Hey Sass....love ya!
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it OK There's always some reason to feel not good enough And it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction or a beautiful release Memories seep from my veins Let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight In the arms of the Angel far away from here From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn There's vultures and thieves at your back The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies That you make up for all that you lack It don't make no difference, escaping one last time It's easier to believe In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness That brings me to my knees In the arms of the Angel far away from here From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie In the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here Crazy huh?
July 17 An update....Sorry about all the music postings....I've been so busy and listening to music was just about the only therapy I was getting the past couple weeks or so. *smiles* At the last minute - right after Tyler came home after spending about a week with his Aunt - we decided to spend the long 4th of July weekend up at the lake and it was a very nice, relaxing trip. Tom's sister had instituted a "mark" system with Tyler and it works wonders. We have also started using it with Quinton who is adjusting to it slowly....lol. Right after returning from the Lake, Stephen's baby sister....(many of you know Stephen from his Painting Studio here on Spaces) arrived here in Columbus with her family to start house hunting.....they will be moving here as soon as their house sells in Wisconsin.. Carrie and I have a ridiculous amount of things in common and I am really looking forward to her getting settled in here. She has 3 boys and they are all adorable...especially the baby - 7months old - ...OMG....he is just as cute and perfect as they come! Her oldest is incredibly responsible and helpful and has already proven he'd be a great influence on Tyler....if he can tolerate him!
 Her middle one is a spit-fire and will give Quinton a run for his money - they will probably get along better as he gets older. He's a few years younger than Quinton. Anyhow, they had a chance to interact a couple days and I am excited for everyone to get together once they are settled. Hurry up and sell that home Carrie!!! This weekend we're headed up to Tiffin - Tom's hometown - for a Kickball Party....lol. Tom's niece organized it all and it's between her mom's tanning salon and another family's flower shop/nursery. It should be a good time and I'm looking forward to it. The fear that Tyler will act up is no longer so overpowering and I have had him in enough situations to semi-trust him. Things are definitely getting better. There are still issues....but they feel more manageable. Tyler's Aunt has been taking him on Tuesday's for tutoring and then keeping him with her to help her around the house and just to do things with him one-on-one and just that one day a week gives me a little break that has made a huge difference too. She's going to Charleston next week, so next Tuesday....we're on our own . I think I'm going to see if my brother can take him and do something with him....even for just a couple hours. He really enjoys the time away himself. If not though, no big deal. Just wanted to let everyone know, that have left all of the encouraging comments ..... how things have been going. I have appreciated every word of advice and couldn't have made it through without you all! Thank-you. July 11 I wanna go home by Michael Buble....*sighs dreamily*
That Nanci is some lucky lady....... As if the eye-candy wasn't enough Sass.....here are the words.......LOL...... Another summer day
