the real world?

That movie Juno must have been written for ladies whose dads have died suddenly, because I laughed so hard that others around me were laughing more at me than the movie I think!  I just couldn't help myself.

Overall, my mood is sad, but I've got to get on with life, so I went in to work today for a couple of hours.  Cried some when people came in to ask me about my dad...and then some more when I read the cards that people had sent.

Had to work out...oh my gosh!  Before yesterday, I hadn't worked out since the day he passed away...that's a week ago!  Yeah, I'll be sore.

Then off to get a passport pic taken, because Mr. Fab and I are going to Ecuador this summer.  Can I describe the photo in detail for you?  Hideous!  And no, I'm not being modest...just factual.  I told the lady at Walgreen's that I'd pay for those pics, but I'd be coming back tomorrow with makeup on!  I don't want customs agents trying to figure out what happened to me...ewww!

Tried to do my taxes (yep, still haven't done them) but TurboTax jacked them up, so I might have to take them to an accountant.

Listened to churchy music...cried again.

It still sounds weird to my ears:  my dad's dead.  I loved him y'all.  A whole bunch.

But he raised a tough cookie...so tough I will be (through the tears).

1 - It took me some two years to stop occasionally crying after my grandmother died. I guess we have to mourn however long it takes. Blessings to you. Peace (Comment this)

Of course you're still mourning, but...I'm glad you're able to laugh a ltitle, too.

4 - I'm glad you are able to smile again. You know the Lord and your Dad both knew you were a tough cookie and that, as Monica would say, you would keep your stride stank. (Comment this)

5 - Baby steps Dawn, baby steps. At least that's what I tell myself regarding unexpected curves life throws at me. Ecuador in the summer sounds awesome! (Comment this)
