my shift is half over. i still have almost 5 hours left. tonight has dragged, and dragged.
nick and i got our plane tickets to john wayne to attend my grandpa's funeral. it's at st. juliana's(?) it's the catholic church off of acacia next to the ymca and boys and girls club. i don't remember what it's called. we fly in on saturday evening and leave monday evening. 2 nights. it'll be short, but so sweet. we are blessed enough to have the estate provide the airfare for our travels. sean and shannon are coming in from texas! it'll be so great to see them. it's been over a year. i'm prob. going to sing something at the church. amazing grace, an original song, fly, or when all is said and done. i think i'll have nick play guitar.
this trip will be reserved just for family. i'm not going to try and see anyone b/c we just don't have the time. the service is on monday at 10am and following, at embassy suites in brea, there will be a reception. i remember we had his 80th birthday party there. i remember my brother was in the army at the time and made a suprise phone call to my dad's cell phone. my grandpa sat there crying, thanking sean for calling and telling him how special it was to hear from him. *sigh*
did you know that some airlines provide a 15% discount if you're traveling to attend a funeral?? american airlines totally did that. my dad asked me to call and see if they did that and i thought he was crazy. but...he's not, i guess. =) berievment flights...(sp?) yup. that's it.
i mixed apple juice and fresca, thinking it would taste like apple cider or something? yeeeeaaaaa, don't try that at home, guys. it's gross. fresca = citrus = sour + apple juice = nasty! i should add more apple juice? idk.
i'm really tired tonight. and i think i've seen every episode, ever made, of fresh prince. and that's all that's on, really. oh, food network, but that'll just make me super hungry. any oatmeal lovers out there? is it just me? i love oatmeal. hot oatmeal. PEACH oatmeal. sooo good! i eat it every morning for breakfast.
