Who Knows More Dead People Than Uncle Al???
Hectic Day...
Running, road 2 horses, and the inaugural party of my best work friend, Ms Sorop, she became the new president. I was to be at her house between 1 and 1:30 to surprise her before we headed over...
Crazy hectic with traffic, finding flowers, getting gas, etc etc, but made it on time and we headed over.
I've become part of the family over the years and luckily knew all the people at her house. Family of some kind. They are all so very nice to me and treat me like a long lost cousin. I love it...
So when we got to the home hosting the par-tay, I decided to sit next to Uncle Al for the entire shin-dig because he is always very entertaining and shares my sense of humor. Not to mention he's a riot when he drinks, and as someone who doesn't drink when driving, I was going dry and needed someone to tease/insult that wouldn't mind :)
I was happy with this choice because shortly there after I found out the owner of the company Ms. Sorop and I work for was coming. Of course she sat across from me at Uncle Al's table. Luckily Ms. Sorop is my friend for a reason and kicks her husband out of the seat at the head of the table and sits with me and the "boss".
Uncle Al and I where on a roll. We banter really well, and the boss lady was laughing and joining in... I realize this doesn't seem like a big deal, but she used to be a nun. This fact, that she was a nun, really trips me out no matter how cool she seems to be... I mean, a NUN!!?? I'm not talking one of those fake nuns, I'm talking the kind that wears the thing and slaps you on the hand with a ruler.
All is going well when Uncle Al brings up that Spelling died. OK, not so bad to hear about, but sad to hear... Then Ms. Ramzy died too. That sucks and brings on a whole nother line of convo about whether she whispered "I did it" before croaking or if she's shovelin' coal or with the daughter plotting to off the living killer.
Uncle Al's back in!!!! I got worried there for a second, but he's good! Next Margarita is a different story...
I have never in my life sat with someone at a party and had every story relate to a dead person. Or at least one where I couldn't walk away either...
And Please, don't forget the Ex nun is there... Normally I would crack a joke to lighten him up, or at least the rest of us, but how can I???? There's not only my boss that would think I'm a heartless bitch, but an EX NUN... I don't want her to fire me because I'm a heartless bitch that's going to hell, let alone my bigger concern, DAMIN' ME TO HELL.
So I say nothing, just try to make light of the situation or change the subject when I can...
Talking about Sea World - Uncle Al took a bunch of kids before his wife died.
Talking about Dodger Day - Uncle Al took some kids and one died the next day.
Talking about ??? - Uncle Al remembers the date because his brother died the day after.
Sorry, No Time For Cake... Uncle Al, "when I worked at the mortuary..."
I'm out...
