When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Years ago one of my bridesmaids told me that āWeddings and funerals bring out the best and worst in familiesā.Piece of advice...don't ever offer to be the one who accepts all the photos and puts together slideshow for memorial service.
It leads to judginess when the "birth family" and the "married into family" (that's the best way I can think to describe them, I'm open to better definitions) seem to be having a contest as to who can have the most photos featuring their side.
I'm going to have to exercise all my self-control to not get into it with my SIL tomorrow. She sent "13 additional photos" at 11 pm the night before the wake. Most of them were just bad photos (pic of the deceased with his cousin at her middle child's communion, and the cousin looks like he has a lazy eye--that guy's going to attend the wake, I'm not going to include a pic of him looking terrible).
There were already 100 photos in the slideshow, I didn't need any more. Not at nearly bedtime, before what will be a very stressful day for my beloved. But she had to make sure that each of her three children were represented!!
OK, rant over. Thanks for listening.
Sheās not wrong.

Hubs has a 4 night weekend
So far he's questioned why there were pots full of chicken broth in the 2nd fridge, got upset I moved the cheese he's not supposed to eat into the mini fridge, been generally underfoot, and decided changing the under-counter water filter while I was canning above mentioned chicken broth was a good idea
So Iām feeling we should find an appropriate solution for him and my SILā¦Hubs has a 4 night weekend

Just checked the sales list for yesterday. As of 4:50 AM today, the "Bid Goes On" starting at 700,000 or higher (as they don't list the open bids once the vehicle leaves the camera view). The continued bidding goes on behind the scenes with the vetted bidders. So, I'll be checking today and/or through the week, to see what price it sells for. Anyway, link below with deets and awesome photos.Also, @MinnieM123 , the Superbird with the 440 and the six-pack (3 2bbl carbs) was the big buck-grabber today at 700K, but the bidding goes onā¦!!!

Sorry for your loss. It's a stressful enough time, without having to make decisions regarding over 100 photos, for a memorial service slide show.Piece of advice...don't ever offer to be the one who accepts all the photos and puts together slideshow for memorial service.

You know me quite well, my friend. However, last night was a multi-step cooking process. (Granted, this is rare.)
I had to pan fry some small pieces of chicken. Then, I had to open a jar of sauce (Tikka Masala) and pour over chicken, simmering for about 10 minutes. But I was not done yet!
Had to put 2 single-serve plastic cups of (precooked) basmati "Minute" rice in the microwave, for 1 minute. Still not finished cooking yet! 
The last step was to dump the rice on to 2 plates, and then pour the chicken and sauce mix over both. FINALLY, dinner was ready. I was exhausted, but worth it for a gourmet meal.

Have you given any thought to perhaps having your own Cooking with Minnie show on cable? And here I was feeling sorry for myself because of the strain of having to warm up some left over beef (I didn't cook it, it was leftovers that my daughter sent me home with last Sunday) and some left over potato salad that I made on Friday. For dessert I scooped out a bowl of Rocky Road Ice Cream and topped it with Cool Whip. I was way off base thinking that made me a culinary artist. I stand humbled in the presence of a "chef de cuisine" such as yourself.You know me quite well, my friend. However, last night was a multi-step cooking process. (Granted, this is rare.)

We took all our exterior decorations down yesterday, but our 2 trees are still up, in our living room and MILs old room (front bay window, so the tree looks really good from the outside at night - living room tree with white lights, MILs room tree with colored)ā¦!!!
It was kindaā sad walking out the front door last night to go to the store, and all the lighted Christmas fun was gone.
But, Carolyn already has plans for doinā it up even bigger for next yearā¦!!!!!
