Can I get a drum roll please?
Spotlight?
Fireworks?
And one of those really cool happy songs they play in movies to make you feel......anticipatory...amused!?!

In the voice of a RING MASTER: 

"INTRODUCING my HUSBAND LEGS via MacBook AIR!!!!......and his crazy wife's brain which oscillates between dumb blond and brilliance.....

 

Ya. EXPLETIVE.....

The blog; "Adventures of Tank Girl" makes its second debut....I wish under happier circumstances....LEGS and I are about to undergo another LENGTHY SEPARATION.....in t minus two days.....

.....here I am in the photo above...with a THINNER (I KNOW!  I didn't think it was possible!) version of LEGS...and using my blog to hold onto the the last shred of sanity I actually may or may not possess....or maybe.....illustrating the psychologically disturbed thoughts of a crazy military wife......

I get new toys.....which give me the tools needed to SURVIVE.......

Because....there is a time when I no longer have a relationship with a physical person....instead I have a relationship with facebook, email, skype, the post office, letters, packages, my cell phone, my telephone....and all the traces.....left behind....the last worn clothing items, change on the bedside table, shoes by the front door, and the every single snapshot I can possibly hold onto.....

and that time begins the moment he starts walking away and he steps into the bus, the airplane, the train, the boat, the car, the helicopter......my relationship is STRICTLY by means of technology.....my cell phone, telephone, and computer travel EVERY SINGLE PLACE I GO.....JUST IN CASE.....he tries to REACH ME.....

Instead of Rapunzel letting down her hair, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and The Little Mermaid,  being kissed into LIFE......or like most every day couples, seeing him walk through the door, up the driveway, even sneaking into bed after a long late shift.....my relationship is with a technological apparatus......

And it never fails.....I carry around these devices like an appendage of my body, but the moment I.....go to the bathroom, get in the shower, leave the house or right before I get home, run downstairs to change over the laundry, have the device on silent or vibrate.....he calls after DAYS of patience and desperation......and I miss it....I miss the connection.....

The frustration, guilt, despondence and sadness that ensues can only be remedied by the next successful connection.....with my device via husband....or...excuse me husband via device......

and there is the perspective.....my new computer gives me....comfort, solace, relief.....therapy.....companionship.....it gives me a marriage.....

its my way to LEGS....and his way to me.....

 .....Cinderella may have a fancy pair of shoes, but I have the WHOLE WIDE WORLD at my finger tips..on a fancy new gadget....and a REAL LIFE HERO....who calls ME.....a very LUCKY girl.....from time to time......

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