HEY! What are you doing?
Weather update brought to you by your faithful weather girl: Its raining Cats and Dogs.
Just in case you wanted to know, the definition of 'Tank Girl' according to URBAN DICTIONARY: a cult British comic, about the adventures of (usually law enforcing adventures, but with sex, violence and bad language) of a tank loving girl called TANK GIRL. An attractive punk rocker that has a comic book name for her.
In my mind: I have adventures, but they are usually more 'moral' enforcement in nature and usually promulgated with public humiliation, and jesting. I have the mouth of a sailor when necessary, 'fighting solves everything', and yes......LEGS and ARMS make Whoopi. As far as the 'attractive punk rock bit' I will take any compliment I can get.
The movers came today. They have been fast and furious, and the move has gone well so far, although its probably easy when you have an anal retentive cleaner/organizer for a customer.
Every time I watch them pack up my belongings I get this weird feeling. I worry about the things I hold dear to me getting broke, then I tell myself its just stuff, you can't take it with you when you die, then I wonder if I am too attached to my material belongings, then I think that so many of the things that I have, represent some place I have been, or time in my life, or give me a certain feeling.
And I always end up with the same conclusion. Being a military wife is hard and uncomfortable. I should at least have a little fluff and luxury wherever this life takes me because at the end of the day I am usually alone, in a foreign place having extraordinary emotions.
I canceled our NETFLIX account today, I feel bad they don't give you the "OTHER" option when telling them why you are canceling. So I basically made it seem that we were going into complete financial ruin, even though we are just moving Overseas. Two thoughts: 1. How come they don't consider people in the military when coming up with their options for cancellation? 2. That was a little embarrassing.
All of our other bills/statements have been transferred to paperless or online. Our PO Box situation is still being figured out. All other important business/documents have been accounted for, and any other business we have left in the United States has been designated.
I am very happy the movers haven't moved or packed up the bed so we get one more night on a real bed versus the air mattress from HELL!
Our house looks like a city of cardboard boxes, I think a game of hide and seek is in order.
Random Thoughts:
I saw a squirrel today, I felt shame and guilt for eating one over the weekend. I wonder if I would feel this way about a cow or chicken if I could see it in my backyard.
There is something surreal about people you don't know, coming to your house and touching all your things.
Is it bad when your dentist has a messed up grill?
I felt like strangling the hygienist that cleaned my teeth today, damn she was hard on me, and she kept telling me how pretty my teeth were, I was like then don't break them!
Okay, let me see if I can say this. Sometimes by putting my life out there I get more feedback then most other people would. And I really don't mind, in fact I welcome it. There have been a few comments made lately that make me feel like the bride being pigeonholed or her wedding day. I am not mad, my feelings are not hurt, its just a little irritating. I realize by saying this I sound like a super movie star who complains about the paparazzi, but....at least I am not crashing my Mercedes into a parked car because I am high on crack.
Over and Out......
Just another typical day in the life of an unlikely military wife......**
and then selling way more tabloids because of said accident and the perpetual cycle:)
