Today is the day I will make Thanksgiving foods.  I am playing wow, and plan to do a painting today to give to my friend tomorrow as part of her Xmas present.  I already bought her a shirt but this painting looks kinda neat.  It's a coffee cup with a heart and I think it will be nice in her kitchen.  

I should be painting my brains out to get xmas presents done for the family but I'm just not really in the mood for the oils.  They take so long to dry though.

YesMIL passed away this morning, she has managed to manipulate redneck and his siblings into a burial when they wanted  cremation.

Redneck is not dealing with this well at all :(

I'm sad he didn't get the chance to confront her with all the things he found out in the last few weeks, I think redneck would less upset/angry now if he had.

I'm kinda sad that she has a family that loves her and she threw that away.

But I have to be honest, I'm also somewhat relieved that her reign is over and the family can all get on with their lives without her toxicity.

I am sorry Trudi, in spite of it all. How did she manage to do that? You don't have to do it, whatever she tried to manage. Man guilt is a terrible thing.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

She arranged for a burial plot at the church.

She has successfully guilt tripped him into doing what she wants for the last time. I am taking some small and very petty satisfaction in the knowledge that she would hate the fact it is me that has chosen her clothes...
