I should be writing my grandpa's eulogy right now, but unfortunately, Writer's Block has me staring at a blank computer screen thinking....hmphf. Hate Writer's Block. So I was hoping that if I posted an updated blog entry, perhaps that would get the creative juices going.
But now I feel as though I'm so far behind on blog updates, I don't even know where to start. Kind of like a eulogy--how do you quantify an entire person's life and personality in a few concise pages? Especially someone like Papa?
So let's see. Zoey learned the song "Jesus Loves Me", complete with hand motions, at daycare. It took me an entire day at home with her to figure out what she was singing, but eventually I was able to pick out only the words "Jesus loves me", and the rest sounds like garble, but oh--the most adorable garble you've ever heard. And the hand motions? Totally make the song.
I have posted the "High Fiber Diet" brochure on my refrigerator so I can mentally calculate each day how much roughage I consume. Because I'm that kind of nerdy. And when life gets stressful, the stressed out seek Lists. Any kind of list. I am presently tracking how much we are spending on groceries each week, how much fiber I eat in a day, as well as a list of all the personality traits I loved in my grandfather, so I don't leave anything pertinent out of his eulogy. Again, that kind of nerdy.
Is that it? A children's bible song and food items meant to bulk up your stool? Ugh, why can't I think of anything else?
Although, to be fair, anyone who follows this blog understands that I am an 85 year old woman at heart, so none of the above should surprise you.

I'm sure that Jesus would have encouraged everyone to bulk up on fiber--I would love to hear Zoey sing a song about that!
And yeah, most vegans get a lot of fiber! We are well known for pooping at least twice a day.
I hope the writers block goes away soon!
We've really got to get together again...we've been separated WAY to long. I have list to organize my list. Current list include grocery money, monthly dinner menu, Costco List, Regular Grocery list, coupon list, to-do tomorrow list and to-do end of year at work list. 85 may be a bit conservative on my age!
Oh yes....lists about making lists. I have actually thought to myself sometimes how PROUD you would be of me when I jot down 4/5 things we could possibly have for dinner the next week. I don't assign days or side dishes to them, but you would smile! Good luck with the eulogy...and don't forget: any good toast/eugoly can rapidly be offset by the amount of alcohol consumed prior AND by how small of font you use, forcing you to "wing it." Recommendation: don't wing it!! ;)
Isn't there a Gospel According to Celery or something? I'm sure our spiritual leaders discussed the importance of a clean colon in the Bible.
..you and your lists. I miss living there!
