ARMS: In Her Shoes.....**

HELLO BLIGGITY BLOG!

TANK GIRLZ Weather Story: Once upon a time in NEVER NEVER LAND, the weather was beautiful and warm, then the mean old atmosphere made it cloudy and cold with a BIG chance of rain, The END. (What?......Not all stories have a happy ending).

Remember how I said that the walls of our house are filled with WWII rubble?

Last night LEGS had plugged the GPS into his computer to charge it up because he needed it for work.  In the middle of the night the damn thing came alive and starting saying things like 'Recalculating', 'Calculating Route Now.' 

At first I thought it was some bizarre dream but then I realized it was the GPS downstairs.  And...then I realized....I suddenly needed to pee.......I got up, used the bathroom and then stood at the top of the stairs.  I tried to convince myself to go downstairs and turn it off.  I told myself I had nothing to be afraid of, but as I peeked down the dark stairwell I decided it was probably best that I let the ghosts live it up. They have probably never seen a GPS before.  'Recalculating Route Now' 

Maybe they are trying to find heaven.

Today I needed to go and purchase yet another pair of dress shoes I will probably only wear one time.  This makes me wish my stuff was here more than anything.....is there anything worse then wasting money buying a bunch of stuff you already have?  I hate shopping.  What happened to me? I used to like it.


To my surprise I actually had a great time.  

When we got there we parked, LEGS would be so proud of me I parked the Audi against a wall so that nobody would ding the door.  Of course I parked it so close to the wall I literally had to be a gymnast to get in or out.  Princess Peach was teasing me she said 'Honey you would be so proud of me I parked the car so that nobody would ding the door but I DID!'  


Then we walked to the elevator and promptly got lost all the way to the top of the parking garage....this is isn't the mall? Where is the mall?  We were in the parking garage elevator expecting it to take us to the mall....

Shopping in Europe is like learning how to shop all over again.  (Side Note: Luigi's Mom, my friend, will be known as Princess Peach from here on out for blogging purposes.) Princess Peach and I set out hopelessly depressed and unexcited about the ball, and shopping for shoes.  

We went into one shoe store....and seriously found nothing.  Even with my bizarre fashion sense I could not even stretch MY imagination to wear any of the shoe options available.


Not willing to give up and certainly out of desperation we carried on.....to the next shoe store- who knew this tiny mall had more than one shoe store?


It started out rough in the front of the store, but by the time we arrived to the back of the store it was like we hit the shoe jackpot.  

Silly girls....neither one of us had any clue what size we would wear. Did you know that European and American sizes are NOT anything ALIKE or the SAME AT ALL? Of course nobody that worked there could be found.

So we just plopped down and started trying on shoes.  It looked like the shoe jackpot blew up around us by the time we were finished, but we happily bounced out of the store with NEW SHOES....

A few shopping observations: When Princess Peach and I gab in English everybody stares at us like we are aliens.  Also Germans do not RECOGNIZE the Personal Space Bubble that we Americans are so absolutely anal about.

The Ball is themed 'Old Hollywood' here is a sneak peek at my costume:

This is a hair clip with a veil that fits over one side of the face:

The SHOES:

European Radio is also quite amusing.  They listen to some new stuff, but its usually this crazy mix of 80's top hits, one hit wonders, and disco style tunes.  No kidding.....


LEGS and I were driving home the other night from a friends house and this song comes on.  When I heard it I was like.....Nah-Uh....for real?  HOLY MOLY BATMAN, it is!  


ARMS:'OMG....I cannot believe they are playing this song....'
LEGS:'What is it?  (yeah no joke- What is...IT?) 
ARMS:' Don't you recognize it?
LEGS:'No.....'
ARMS:'Its the Macarena. Do you remember that dance?'
LEGS:'I don't know its something to do with your head and your hips...'
ARMS:' Can I get a demonstration when we get home?'


LAUGHS!


Random Thoughts:

A line I never thought that I would use: ARMS to LEGS
"You have broccoli on your lip." 

Don't you hate it when people are SOOOOOO NICE that you simply cannot say NO? 


I got an email today for 'The Scooter Store.' GREAT........


Cottage cheese is delicious...


I hate to say it but I am missing the great American fast food, in specific Taco Bell.


I feel bad for taking the Audi from LEGS......but it so fun to drive!

I ran into a mutual acquaintance today... you may remember him as 'The Hef'..he was scoping the 'Free Shelf' outside the library.  Yeah....I am pretty sure he doesn't like my sense of humor in the daylight.  I gave him a hard time about the free shelf deal and after that I felt like he maybe forgot to take his Midol BEFORE he came to work.

Why is it that no matter what I cannot bring myself to wear cute fitness clothes?  I always look like a hobo when I go to the gym.  I mean....what is the point of buying cute fitness clothes when you are just going to sweat in them? I don't get it?

OVER & OUT


Just another day in the life of an unlikely military wife.....**
