Local Enterprise Weather brought to you by TANK GIRL: The birds are chirping, its overcast, and chilly.
ARMS drank entirely too much wine last night. I did not sleep well and had very bizarre dreams. One that I found particularly amusing is the Officer Wives acting like babies. We all had on diapers, were sucking pacifiers and making our husbands push us around in grocery carts and strollers......Gee, can't imagine why I had that dream.......maybe a little role reversal there.....
You know those GARAGE SALE signs you can buy? They are black and say 'GARAGE SALE' in bright red letters? So we purchased some for the Garage Sale on Saturday. But I don't get it. They give you this tiny box to put in your address, which nobody is going to see traveling at a decent rate of speed.
My solution was to attach some cardboard to them to give me more space to indicate that we are moving overseas, so we are selling Appliances and Electronics. Here I am thinking that I am such a genius, I have great handwriting and advertising abilities.....Then it occurred to me that I have not put the date and time on the signs.......NICE! (the date and the time made it onto the signs but it wasn't pretty)
Isn't the purpose of a sign to be seen? If nobody is going to see it then why bother? If we are placing a sign to sell items shouldn't we tell people what we are selling? OH yeah and when we are selling it?
I asked LEGS yesterday, what we were going to do when they pick up the hold package items? (Hold Package Items: Air Mattress, Sleeping Bags, Towels, Camp Dishes etc.) Here is the conversation:
ARMS: 'We should probably schedule them to pick up the hold packages the day before we leave. So.....where are we going to sleep when they come pick up the 'Hold Packages?'
LEGS: All matter of fact, 'On the Floor.'
ARMS: 'Um....but with what?' In my mind I am thinking we are going to have to burrito baby ourselves up in the sweaters we pack, or belly flop onto our suitcases.
LEGS:'What do you mean?'
ARMS: Heavy Sigh.......'Nothing' Its obvious to me that none of this has crossed his mind.
LEGS used the word Artisan today. He did pronounce it wrong he said Arrrteeeesssin......He claimed to be in Arteeesin, I won't say what he was claiming to be in Artisan about, but I will simply say, I concur Babe, I concur.
All of his 'Professional Gear' has been laid out, and he is 90% packed for NEVER NEVER LAND. We also went through all the important papers and pulled important documents to travel with us. I consider this a major accomplishment, like I think it may be more incredible then Peace in the Middle East......
Random Thoughts:
Yesterday while we were in PetSmart, this lady got this dog about 1 foot inside the automatic doors. The dog decided that he wasn't going any further and froze. He stood there erect, heavy and stiff. She pulled and pushed on him to follow her in, but he wasn't going ANY FURTHER. Then he peed all over the floor and his paws........all I could think of was Queen Di and Clancy.
According to LEGS the word 'Sure' does NOT, I repeat DOES NOT mean 'Yes'....
I hate when people say 'used to be' when in reference to what you do. Like seriously, if you were a Marine but now you do something different for a living does that mean you are no longer a Marine? Or if you were a Farmer, Dancer, or Mechanic but you no longer do that does that mean that skill is no longer in your possession?
I am a boxer, I didn't used to be a boxer, that is part of who I am. If somebody came at me and wanted a fight, I could still throw a solid punch, I still have that 'survival' instinct, I am still a 'fighter,' just because I am not training or competing DOES NOT mean that I am not a boxer, I put in all that work, I have a record and a rank, so nobody can take that away from me........
FYI- If you are in a situation where somebody is shooting up the place, it is better to crouch near the floor versus lay flat on the floor because riccocheting bullets tend to 'hug' the floor.
Also, if criminals/psychopaths really want to get their hands on a gun, no matter what laws/regulations are in place they will find a way........
Over & Out
Just another day in the life of an unlikely military wife.....**
