that was a strong smell for such a tiny woman

so today i decided to go to church with my mom. it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. the minister that used to be there when i was a little kid was back for one sunday to preach his last sermon. he has an advanced form of brain cancer and isn't expected to live much longer. he wanted to see everyone that used to go there and say goodbye. i knew this going in and wasn't too keen on the idea of sitting in a church for an hour or two, watching a lot of people i knew growing up, weep. and i wasn't too excited about seeing my mom upset either. but i figured it would be easier for her if i was there, so i sucked it up. it ended up being better than what we both thought it was going to be, so i'm glad i went. it was good to see my aunt and cousin again and a few other people i haven't seen in six or seven years. we wound up in a pew with some old lady with a major case of b.o. i almost lost it when my mom turned to me, with a green face, and asked me if i could smell it too. i told her i was worried for a second that it was me and she assured me it was the little old lady next to her. she kept sliding away from the lady, closer into me, until she had me wedged up against the side of the pew. i laughed when she said, "i just hope no one thinks it's coming from me." of course it was packed in there, so i got warm real fast.

after church i met up with jules for lunch and a movie. it was full on ghetto style today. i used my gift card for lunch and bought my movie ticket with a roll of dimes. i need to get back to work soon, not want but need. now that i actually feel like getting out and doing things i have no money to pay for any of it. but i had soup and salad for lunch and it was good. yes it was like 90 out, but i was still craving some soup. we saw charlie & the chocolate factory. i really liked it. it was a little long near the end, but that was my only real complaint. the music numbers were insane, but they really worked. and i was worried that willy would be too oddball thanks to the previews, but that wasn't the case. johnny depp was the perfect degree of crazy for that movie. he did a great job.

and now i'm back with my old friend tv. they added some more episodes of fat actress to on-demand so i know where my night's going. two weeks left then it's back to work.
