I’m in that painful part of the deployment where R&R is just weeks away and time has stopped. I haven’t blogged much because of it. IT would just end up being the same old thing right now. So…I’ve been buried in books and video games. Ok one video game. And here, is part of it that made me laugh so loud I scared the dogs. Dwarves…what ya gonna do?
This was my character, you can’t see what she said so here’s her lines
Around a week ago, I was talking to Hunny and the following conversation ensued.
Jess: i wanted to send ya stuff over there but thats just more ya gotta pack to bring home
Hunny: true
Jess: besides this way i have til R&R to get you some "toys"
Hunny: ohhhh like a redrider bb gun?
Jess: you'll put your eye out!
Hunny: ohhhh mom
Well, as most people know, I'm a bit of a smartass. So I hopped on over to Amazon and ordered exactly that. It should have been delivered Christmas Eve, however UPS decided that it was going to be delivered somewhere else. I don't know HOW, considering my house number and our NAME is right there on the house. But it was delivered up the street, to someone who'd been away. When they came home they found the box, and she brought it here yesterday. The box had been torn open, likely by the local teenagers looking for a free ride. Luckily the contents were still inside.
One 1938 model, Red Ryder BB Gun.
I couldn't wait til R&R to show him. So I showed him on webcam today and he got a big laugh out of it. Which is of course what I was aiming for. It makes me happy. Besides, he'll have plenty to smile about while he's here on R&R. I thought it was a better thing to give him a giggle over there.
The first thing I do every morning is grab my fluffiest socks to warm up my feet. I have very cold feet. I do this even before I get my coffee. THAT is how crucial warm feet are to me. So, after my coffee today, and getting a few things done, I said…I’m going to go take a walk with my camera. I needed my Project 365 photo for today. I put my hair up in it’s typical ponytail from hell (it’s extremely long right now), put my jeans on, and then went to put my shoes on.
That is when, without ever leaving my house, I saw today’s photo. Clearly I wasn’t even HALF awake when I put on my fluffy socks this morning.
Shortly after getting this, my batteries died. I can only assume they died laughing.
