Happy birthday, shrift! Would you like some snow? I can send you plenty, free of charge. I'll even throw in some sprinkles on top!
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Happy Birthday shrift!
We seem to be having a snowpocalypse in Rochester as well, Amy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy birthday, shrift!!
I also had the chance to reconnect with some distant parts of family yesterday, as well as meet some interesting women. I'm having one email me poetry she wrote about Harriet Tubman. And another shyly revealed herself to be a TV writer. I tried to explain my particular breed of fannishness a bit, and how I didn't judge a writer for not getting content to the screen. Meanwhile she was taken aback by how much I knew about her industry and kinda fannish about my job and my sister's too. Which never happens.
Had a beignet with breakfast yesterday morning, and beans and rice at the "repass" after the service. Is that a word? In these few days I'm going to eat as much NO as possible. We drove past 5 Happiness where I think Nora just ate. It was near the funeral home. Couldn't convince anyone to stop there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Repast, no?

Happy birthday, shrift!!
Easy mistake to make.
Except Clippers are way more popular among a certain hipster subset because Lakers are too establishment, too Jack.

"Repass" is what they printed on the services program, above two hours of "party time". Much question of if it is a word. Bastardisation of "repas" perhaps?
I have to admit I theoretically prefer the Clippers to the Lakers for Kat's reasons, and I was anti-Shaq.

It is in the Urban Dictionary [link] sounding like a wake, but all the normal dictionaries are defining it as "to pass again". So maybe it started as "repast" and took a life of its own?

Oh man! The house is COLD this morning. We have a friend coming over at 3:00 for cake. I kinda want to make a pistachio apple honey cake in addition to the red velvet. Also, I spent 36 hours in bed and I'm feeling unheadachey!

Huh.
Wordnik has people on twitter using repass in relation to funerals, and repast, too.
