Oh my. Watching Best Funeral Ever on TLC. It is filmed here in Dallas at the Golden Gate Funeral home. Have decided I don’t want a funeral, I want a homecoming y’all.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Myself, I want a party. I’ve told my family, for years and in some detail, that I want a party with good food, an open bar and a band and dancing. Maybe have a few flattering pictures of me around, that would be nice. And anyone who wants to honor my memory will say something snarky and funny.<\/p>\n
It would have to take place somewhere near water, not because I’m so attached to water (I mean, I like lakes and oceans and all, but not excessively<\/i>) but because the big finale would be disposing of my ashes through fireworks. Angels Flight<\/a> does that. And I believe that it can only be done over water because, for some reason, people don’t like the idea of a body drifting down on their houses and cars and whatnot.<\/p>\n
Anyway, if you hear something’s happened to me, skip lunch and get your snarky remark ready.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
