Dedication

I've just come home-I am totally knackered!!!! My nephew got dedicated today...and I've been on the move-non stop.

I didn't too much like the way that the church service went-to be honest it was a bit boring...nothing but sermon after sermon after sermon...no singing or nothing. There was 7 babies in total being dedivated. They were all brought up to the front (altar is it?) And a member of the church had each child. The pastor preached and prayed...and that was it. In my opinion it wasn't very personal-but that's just my opinion. After the dedications, there were more sermons!! My brother, who shock horror, turned up in shoes! (With his girlfriend who happens to be Muslim but came out to show support) was hungry, and wanted to go get food. Cos he has no license, I was nominated to drive, so we went on for KFC. By the time we got back, the service was over.

Went home, got changed, and went to the hall to set up. It was pure madness. It was meant to start at 5.30, but the table didn't get opened (blessed etc) until 7.30....cos my sister's boyfriend had to go here there and everywhere to pick up somebody. My sis was less than impressed. When the table was finally open, and food was available, that's when the madness started. I was so rushed off my feet, I had to change my heels to my trainers-it just HAD to be done!!!

Then came all the tidying up, and trying to get black folks to leave! Lol! I just don't get it-I don't think I ever will....black folks always turn up late, and always wanna be the last one to leave! Lol!!!

I'm at home now, watching 'Crash'. I've seen this movie countless times, but it's so good-and definitely one of my faves...I'll probably fall asleep watching it-cos I'm so tired! Thankfully there's no work tomorrow-and I intend to sleep ALL day!!!!

Luv the word knackered! I'm guessing it means worn out???

lmao @ shock horror...brother turning up in shoes!

I hate that about Black folks...some just never want to leave. They don't have to even go home...just get out!

Hope you are enjoying your day off!

I remember my daughter's christening. The ceremony was kinda blah, but the service wasn't too long. The hall was set up on time only because my mother was in charge. She's a caterer and is a bit anal about lateness.

But yeah, no one wanted to leave there either. I think they all stay behind to pack up the left overs. Because the last people to leave the hall, all had bags of stuff to take home, from food to booze.

Wait, wait, wait. What the heck is knackered? Are you high as hell or tired den a muhfugga? I will just have to go and look it up. I kinda like reading posts and not really understanding everything that is going on. I will have to add you to my regular reads! Oh, wait. You are already there...
