Weather by Tank Girl: Butt a** cold.
Last night I had the strangest dreams. I had dreams that Karmella ran away, Clancy and Jake were ours again but they were destroying my car, I was swimming with sharks, my MEMA was wearing a Punk Rock wig, and my Uncle Mikie was trying to tell me something but I couldn't understand him, I felt like I was losing my freakin' mind! I woke up feeling like I hadn't slept a wink, with a seriously busy day ahead.
LEGS and I caught the train from Bad Windsheim to Illesheim (on base) for PT, I went along with him so I could get a workout in. When we got off the train we had to walk through a large field in the freezing cold in the pitch black, definitely not something I will be doing alone. Ever.
Once we got on base we were headed toward the gym, this is the conversation:
ARMS:'Oh my GAWD I am so cold...this is seriously cold.'
LEGS:'Yeah....I am not feeling too well...'
ARMS:'You think you are coming down with something?'
LEGS:'No....I have morning sickness...............er, uh...sickness of not having something in the stomach....not to be associated with pregnancy..'
ARMS:Laughing! 'Oh you silly thing you know right where this is going...in the BLOG.'
I had a serious work out today, ran 3 miles in 26 minutes, push-ups, heavy bag and shadow boxing.....It felt good, but I know tomorrow I am going to be sore as hell!
LEGS wanted to give me some love today....and he said:
LEGS: 'Such a lovey soft body..'
ARMS:' You mean fat ass...'
LEGS: 'Your still lovey...'
ARMS: In my mind......WHAAAAA.....??? Has my husband lost his goddamn mind!?!
When we got back from the gym, we both showered, LEGS had a dentist appointment and I had the meeting. LEGS had a complete 'ID Card' meltdown:
LEGS: 'Where is my ID card.....I can't find it....'
ARMS:'I don't know where did you have it last?'
LEGS:'I had it on the bed....I can't find my ID card...'
ARMS:'OK, relax, left all the blankets up.....is it under the bed? Did it fall into your shoe?'
LEGS:'Its not here! I CAN'T FIND MY ID!!!!'
ARMS:'Okay seriously empty ALL your pockets out...'
LEGS: He begins to empty every single pocket in his flight uniform.....which takes FOREVER.....
ARMS: I stand there patiently waiting.....
LEGS: 'I FOUND IT!'
ARMS: In my mind....'Go Figure...'
I had my VERY first Family Readiness Group Meeting today. I just want to say I am totally impressed. All the girls were funny, exciting, talented and the exact kind of girls that I would surround myself with BY CHOICE.....Overall the BOYZ in Germany have EXTREMELY GOOD TASTE in Women.
I was able to introduce myself, I met another girl that is brand new too, and she lives in OBERDACHSTETTEN, we both received a welcome gift of flowers. (Side Note: I have received more flowers since I have been in NEVER NEVER LAND than I have in years!)
We also discussed many of the upcoming events the FRG is volunteering for. There is a craft bizarre, BINGO, Lunch in the Hanger, and Raffles. The main objective beside supporting our husbands/single soldiers and each other is to raise funds for things like welcome gifts, gifts for expectant families, prizes for Bingo, and other fun events that bring the military family closer.
Lunch in the Hanger is for the guys that don't have a wife at home cooking, or have to commute too far to go home for lunch, since we are such a small base many places to eat are not opened every day- so we make dishes and serve lunch in the hanger for donations.
We can also log/keep track of our volunteer hours and keep them for our resume's, but more importantly getting involved and doing nice things feels good.
OKAY- I know I have said this before, but I am going to say it again. I am an internet junkie. The first step is admission. The next step is treatment, I am going to an involuntary detox of facebook, blogging, and yahoomail, starting on Friday. I wish I could say that I was going voluntarily but this addiction has a strong hold on me. I really am going to document my detox and recovery and update post recovery.....I promise to admit any relapses I have during this crucial time......
That being said....I do not take addiction to anything lightly, so if I offended anyone I am sorry. One thing I have learned to live without so far on my journey has been coffee. I have had pounding headaches on more than one occasion. I very much believe that the internet can be an addiction.....if this is so....I am guilty.....
Random Stories and Thoughts:
We ordered 'Black Sambuca' at the Aussie Pub, but they didn't have black they just had white......so LEGS says 'What does white taste like?' We all laughed our asses off......
Such a small world.....so LEGS went to the Dentist today, turns out the Dentist on base did her residency under our Dentist in ALASKA- Dr. Wenzell our teeth are in good hands!!!
For some reason I was given an extra ordinary amount of reading material today....a welcome bag from the company, a stack of paperwork for the house, a book on trash sorting and recycling, and mold, moisture and mildew......I suspect these things will be read back to front, and the phone book I was given will come in handy for crank calls.....
Our FRG leader said the word 'Dobie' today......all of us were scratching our heads until we realized she meant 'doobie...' LMAO!
I would just like to say that I have a lot of love in my heart for my friend Squirrely- she has been AMAZING to me and I shall always be in debt to her.
Over & Out....
Just another day in the life of an unlikely military wife....**
