TANK GIRLZ Weather Log book: They are talking about this gigantic winter storm, that fortunately is going to bypass us. So far here it has been overcast with partial sun, and breezy.
Guess what!?! I got my Passport so we can leave to NEVER NEVER LAND VERY soon!!!!
Yesterday we were offered reprieve at a Manda's house. I spent the afternoon knitting with her and Rico. We had Polynesian Chicken with rice for dinner and it was so delicious LEGS begged me to get the recipe this morning. Manda also combined two of LEGS' favorite desserts with a Brownie Cheesecake.
It is times like this where I reflect on the friendships I have created in Alabama, and the friendships I have had all my life. I don't know why but I am continually surprised how generous, thoughtful and caring people are about LEGS and ARMS. I always wonder if I deserve it and if I make people feel the same way?
These days it is hard to make friends and friendships can be more work than they should be, but this isn't high school anymore. People have busy lives, different schedules, some have kids, school or pets etc. But I am always thankful during the times of transition in this military lifestyle that I worked so hard to make friends that I can now count on. And I will continually count on them for support and comfort during difficult times.
And even though it is sad to say goodbye, because for some reason it finally occurs when you are about to leave you genuinely care and love these new people in your life. And in return you get this wonderfully heartwarming sensation and refreshing knowledge that they will miss you too. You can be sure that 'Life without a friend, is like Death without a Witness.' -Spanish Proverb
LEGS and ARMS have been doing some dirty work today. Like the kind you see on 'Dirty Jobs,' well maybe not that bad, but sometimes I can't believe how dirty we are as human beings, and I consider myself pretty anal retentive about being clean. I hope we get our whole security deposit back because we have left this house in better condition then we found it, the people that lived here before us were pretty hard on the house and very dirty.
When I got home from the gym this morning, I needed to lay down because I wasn't feeling well. I had the most disturbing and sad dreams. I lost someone very, very special to me this year and I had haunting dreams about him. They were very upsetting and when I woke up I realized that I am glad to be leaving this house behind. There are still feelings and emotions, that I have experienced in this home that bother me, and I think sometimes the only way to really to get over those types of situations is to start fresh.
But.....No matter where I go, or what I do, my heart will break continuously forever over losing my dear dear friend LEX.......
When I see the news coverage about the uprising in Egypt, I feel so happy to be an American where Freedom is at least valued. I know that we are leaving to go to Europe and I am very excited about it, But I also realize that one thing I will miss is the freedom I feel every single day in the United States.
Random Thoughts:
Grilled cheese is the best! Especially when LEGS makes it.
Today on the news they said to cut your salt intake in order to be healthy. I believe it have you looked at how much sodium is in your food?
Damn.....LEGS is PISSED OFF.....Whoa get out of the way!
I hope my friends come to celebrate with us Friday night......
EWWWWW.......gah! Sometimes I hate cleaning!
I am feeling a little blue.....
Over & Out.....
Just another day in the life of an unlikely military wife.....**
