Zombie's Journey - A Wedding, A Final Christmas and Planning for a Wake

[IamtheZombie]

Previous thread is HERE

ZombieLad gets married today. Hats on and champagne at the ready!

A week today he and ZombieLass arrive to spend Christmas with me. It will be the Best. Christmas. Ever.

There have been no miracles so my remaining days keep ticking away. Life is for living. Death is not to be feared. Wakes are for celebrating.

Please join me.

Hey there B3!

Hi there Mess Master, sterling work today

Phalanx phlags phluttering well tonight

We missed you and your beautiful hat!

I was wearing it, honest, trawling round TKMaxx

Maybe I'll trot it out again for the airport welcoming posse.

Have to ask Susie what the dress code is for that, I feel it may be a little 'de trop' before noon.

Running late as ever...

Congratulations to the Zombie family on such a wonderful occasion, wishing the happy couple a fabulous future

Congratulations!

Oh wow congratulations to you all! Hope you had a lovely day watching your boy get married.

Congratulations.

I drank to the happy couple - twice! or maybe more times than that

Best wishes to ZombieWeds, and the proud ZombieInLaw

Is that rosemary or an umbrella PD ? Have taken my eyes out (well lenses) and am not sure.

FidGirl was talking to her English teacher and no idea how it came up - phrasal verbs maybe - and told her 'Mum says she puts her eyes in, takes them out, and puts her face on.' Which makes me sound most odd.

Like the look of the fruity thing, is it a fruity cocktail?

(Lurker delurks to say congratulations to mr and Mrs zombie...)

BathsLad had his 2nd dose of chemotherapy last night, with steroids beforehand, then PEG. He says he was high on drugs and sugar all night!

Baths sounds like a good Friday night :)

Wonder where my boys are. Sure I heard one come in with a friend a couple of hours ago. FidBoy1 was DJ'ing at a wedding I think. Am a bit nostalgic for the Lego days like wot PD has.

Nah, remember spending 87 hours assembling a Lego Star Wars thingy. I thought time itself had stopped. Me with it.

De-Lurking to wish the happy couple all the best.
All good wishes to you too Zombie. -x-

Good Lord Pacific . Wouldn't a small sherry have done.

Mother and step will be here in abt 30 mins. Have to avoid traffic on a busy shopping day. Heads out of bath towards sherry. Is it too early ?

Best wishes for a lovely Christmas to you and your family, Zombie

BathsLad is still obsessed with Lego.

How is the happy ZCouble and ZIL this morning?

I am hoarse.

That was indeed a sprig of rosemary

I have built that Lego Star Wars thingies - -ies, you not, plural!

It's never too early for a small sherry Roses

I'm bypassing sherry and heading for gin. It is D minus 4 hours. Meeting early-ish and a bit of a trek away.

So despite my insouciant and breezy texts to CGM (Cuban guitar man) I am a bit fraught. Feel like I have to restore an ancient monument (me) in very little time.

But I am v much looking forward to it

Hope they're enjoying their mini-moon.

My 15YO is a Lego obsessive. She's completed a lot of the architecture range but complains it's too white and boring. Someone more generous than me has bought her the Disney castle which she will love but it's so big I'm worried she might decide to make it a family project.

Fid it's so nerve-wracking, a first date after a long time. But remember that he'll be nervous too. Don't go telling him it feels like a job interview like I did And I'd say not to get drunk and snog him but the snogging has already begun so that's probably safe.
Oh - be safe if you do more than snogging!!

I think I wept with relief when FidGirl (my youngest) was old enough to assemble the Playmobil pyramid she got for Christmas, by herself.

We've still got all the Lego & Playmobil, btw for those of you with younger children. It never leaves the house.

Apparently 3 glasses of prosecco is the perfect Getting Ready amount - I'm told.
Fiderer, he will be nervous too, but won't be as worried about what he looks like. And, in my middle-aged, heavily married experience, I have yet to meet a man who is not pathetically grateful when a woman is showing an interest.

Thing is, I know all these things, rationally and calmly, I do know.

Am just a quivering jelly
