Funeral Today
I spent the day with a friend, traveled to a near by city, and attended his mother's funeral. It made me remember my mom's funeral. And it made me remember how much I appreciate that I was and am able to be a mom for my kids.

Lego Land
http://www.legolanddiscoverycenter.com/Chicago
I am supposed to be cleaning house. But that involves sorting through a few piles of stuff - of which one had the AAA magazine. Before throwing it in the recycle bin I wanted to browse through it, and I found that Chicago has a lego land. I didn't realize it. Looks like a fun place for the grand-kids to take me.

From My Email Bag Today (Adult humor)
Obviously written by a man. But I got a chuckle out of it.
The Stimulus explained
Sometime this year, we taxpayers may again receive an Economic Stimulus
payment. This is a very exciting new program. I will explain it using the Q
and A format:
Q. What is an Economic Stimulus payment?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.
Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen.
Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV
set, thus stimulating the economy.
Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending
your stimulus check wisely:
* If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to
China ..
* If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs.
* If you purchase a computer, it will go to India ..
* If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico ,
Honduras and Guatemala .
* If you buy a car, it will go to Japan ..
* If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan .
* If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to
management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.
Instead, keep the money in America by:
1 spending it at yard sales, or
2 going to ball games, or
3 spending it on prostitutes, or
4 beer or
5 tattoos.
(These are the only American businesses still operating in the US .)
So, I'm going to go to a ball game with a tattooed prostitute that I met at a
yard sale and we're going to drink beer all day!

Book For This Week 1/17/10
by
From Barnes&Nobel's:
Synopsis
Strange Days
Winter gripped the city. Terror gripped it,
too. They found four corpses in four days,
each more hideous than the last.
Strange Nights
At first the cops thought they were dealing
with a psychopath. But soon they heard
and saw unearthly silver eyes in the
snow-slashed night.
Final Hours
In a city paralyzed by a blizzard, something
watches, something stalks…
(I just finished listening to this on audio on my way home tonight. A gift, it is not the type of book that I would normally pick out, but it sure kept me awake at the wheel! Remember to click on the author's name and the book title to learn more.)

Seafood, Steak & Ribs | Flanagan's Restaurant and Pub
http://www.eatatflanagans.com/menu/seafood-steak
While normally I cook every other time Mark and I get together and he takes me out every other time, he spoiled me and took me out again this evening. He let me pick this time and I picked Flanagan's. This link is to their menu. I had the Seafood platter with rice pilaf, broccoli, and french onion soup. It was wonderful. He had the prime rib and it looked yummy too.
