Happy Friday, which is also National Rum Day (I’m a Captain Morgan spiced rum lady), National Roller Coaster Day (I went on Jolly Rancher Remix at HersheyPark on Tuesday, it was something), and National Tell a Joke Day.
For that, I’ll share a joke from TikTok:
Q: Why did the van full of art thieves break down on the way to the museum?
A: Because they didn’t have Money for Degas to make the Van Gogh.
Anyway, this is the yearly Scattergories edition of the Friday 5. My letter is C – let’s go!
And…it’s death themed? Okay, I just finished Family Lore, an amazing book in which death features prominently. I have a few of my final wishes and my pre-written obituary in a Word doc named “My Obituary.” It is saved in the Documents folder on my PC.
- If you can schedule it, what would you like for your last meal?
A LARGE portion of Chicken parmigiana, breaded, on top of a LARGE portion of spaghetti with red sauce. - Where would you like to be buried?
I’m very intrigued by having a body turned into Compost and just sprinkled in a garden or woods. Here’s a story about it hopefully becoming legal in NJ. If that doesn’t happen, I’d like to be in a place that is Conscious of the environmental impact of embalming and burial. A green cemetery. I thoroughly expect for my wishes to be overridden by whoever survives me though. - What will they place in your coffin to be buried with you?
The Cremains of my former pets. I have quite a few little boxes. - Who will sing at your funeral?
I honestly don’t think I’ll have enough people at my funeral for there to warrant a singer, but I do have a few plans written out* and I’d like a Classical guitarist to play “Here Comes the Sun” and “Rainbow Connection.” - Who will deliver your eulogy?
In the spirit of having to answer with C answers, I’ll have to urge Kristen and my brother to have a third child so that Nibling C could deliver it. The actual answer is that I want to let anyone who wants to speak, speak.
Have a fabulous weekend!
