Blah blah day

Good Afternoon. It has finally stopped raining here, again. It has rained every day for the past few days. The sun peeks out occasionally, but then the clouds cover again. It has made for some strange ranges of temperatures. It is very pleasant now, but yesterday was muggy. A and I went to some local yard sales Saturday, and ended up trying on ball gowns at one of New Bern's formal wear stores. They had a wide selection of slightly used and new gowns. I tried two on. One a beautiful gold colored one. It was strapless, but came with a jacket. It was so beautiful and about a good 6 inches to long. It would have required alterations. But the way it made me look! I have never seen myself that beautiful in my life. Baring the mess hair, no makeup, and white socks of course. I would have loved to tell them to wrap it up, but alas the price tag with the needed alterations were a bit out of my meager range. A tried on several. Some of them looked very good on her, but none that we fell in love with. The military ball is coming up in November, and we have to hussle. I am sure I will be ready for my first official United States Marine Corp Ball when it gets here. Right?

YOU HAVE JUST BEEN HIT BY THE

IF YOU GET HIT AGAIN, YOU'LL KNOW YOU REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM ! WHEN GIRLS DRINK TOO MUCH ............1. WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHERE OUR PURSE IS.2. WE BELIEVE THAT DANCING WITH OUR ARMS OVERHEAD AND WIGGLING OUR BUTT WHILE YELLING 'WOO-HOO!' IS TRULY THE SEXIEST DANCE MOVE AROUND.3. WE'VE SUDDENLY DECIDED THAT WE WANT TO KICK SOMEONE'S BUTT AND HONESTLY BELIEVE WE COULD DO IT TOO .4. IN OUR LAST TRIP TO PEE, WE REALIZE THAT WE NOW LOOK MORE LIKE A HOMELESS HOOKER THAN THE GODDESS WE WERE JUST FOUR HOURS AGO.5. WE START CRYING AND TELLING EVERYONE WE SEE THAT WE LOVE THEM SOOOOO MUCH.6.WE GET EXTREMELY EXCITED AND JUMP UP AND DOWN EVERY TIME A NEW SONG PLAYS BECAUSE 'OH MY GOD! I LOVE THIS SONG!' 7. WE'VE FOUND A DEEPER/SPIRITUAL SIDE TO THE GEEK SITTING NEXT TO US.8. WE'VE SUDDENLY TAKEN UP SMOKING AND BECOME REALLY GOOD AT IT.9. WE YELL AT THE BARTENDER, WHO WE BELIEVE CHEATED US BY GIVING US JUST LEMONADE, BUT THAT'S JUST BECAUSE WE CAN NO LONGER TASTE THE GIN.10. WE THINK WE ARE IN BED, BUT OUR PILLOW FEELS STRANGELY LIKE THE KITCHEN FLOOR (or the mop?).11. WE FAIL TO NOTICE THAT THE TOILET LID IS DOWN WHEN WE SIT ON IT.12. WE TAKE OUR SHOES OFF BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT'S THEIR FAULT THAT WE'RE HAVING PROBLEMS WALKING STRAIGHT.SEND THIS ALONG TO ALL THE GIRLS YOU KNOW WHO LIKE TO HAVE FUN. MAKE THEM LAUGH AT THEMSELVES LIKE YOU PROBABLY DID ....SADLY, MANY ARE TRUE!

And Remember... 'A clean house is the sign of a wasted life..." 'May your life be filled with relaxing sunsets, cool drinks, and sand between your toes'

Up, Up, and Away

I am sitting here on pins and needles this morning. Kim and Tim are boarding a plane this morning for the great state of Washington. This will be Kim's third time on a plane. The last time she was on a plane she was flying back with "NEW" baby T.J. from Japan. She had been there with Tim when he had been statiioned there. I was so terrified for her, being alone with a new baby, flying across the vast ocean. I am terrified today to. But I have said my prayers and now I leave it in the hands of God. I know she will be fine.
Here on the home front everything is fine. The dogs have finally settled down. They are pretty spastic first thing in the mornings. They have to chase the "outside" cat, play fight, and generally make a lot of noise. It's an everyday thing here. We are keeping a watchful eye on Logan. He decided to have raw chicken for supper last night. Ronnie and Amanda had gone to her Mom's house for a little while last night. The chicken was on the counter waiting to be cooked. I guess he didn't know or care that I was here. I thought Ronnie or Amanda had put it in the fridge. When I came down stairs to go outside I found the package on the floor. So, we had pasta last night for supper. LOL He wanted some of tlhat too. You can bet he didn't get it..

The Odd Day Out (The Boring Life)

Not sure why I chose that title, but nothing else came to mind. I have been very busy this week, trying not to do anything. I feel tired and restless. My mind says do "EVERTHING" but my body says "NO". They are clearing a lot right across the street from us and i have had a whole week of hearing this highpitched whirl of the stump grinder and various other machines. It's kind of like a dentist drill sound and it is driving me crazy.

Logan is kicking his empty food dish across the floor and looking at me with hope in his eyes and now Bella is licking the bottom of said "empty" bowl. "Pause" while I fill the bowls. If you could see the looks I am getting from the two larger dogs you would laugh. Bella is happily eating out of Logan's dish and Susi is eating out of hers. Logan gave me a very pained look because he was hoping for something else I guess. Bella eats different food usually. she eats in my room, with the door shut and me standing guard. Not sure why she is so brave today. She will sometimes steal a crumb or two while the other dogs are not watching, but today she acts like his dish is hers and hers alone. If I put her a bowl of the same food down (dry) she won't touch. Logan just walked up and turned his nose up at his bowl. how exciting, right? Such is the life of boring "granny".
