This patch has screwed with my style. Jessrayje is not at all impressed. There is no tabard in her tabard slot. NONE. Yet she logs in and sees this…
Now the design is cool. Colors are good too. But…I’m still not wearing a tabard!! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN???
Ft Lewis had a small Motorcycle show this weekend. And before my headache knocked me to the couch, I managed to go try my hand at shooting some chrome. I love Chrome on bikes, and I love the curves, and lines of the pipes and engines. I do have a weakness though. I forget when my brain slips into photographer mode, to step back and take a few normal snapshots too. Ooops. Click thumbnails to embiggify.
o, he’s been home for almost two weeks. Sometimes I still can’t believe he’s here. Everything is pretty much back to normal. It never takes us more than a few hours to get back to being us. The army dentists decided two of his wisdom teeth needed pulled last Thursday. They gave him 2 hours notice. That was fun. He also came home with some mystery funk on his elbow. So instead of being at the redeployment ceremony right now, I’m waiting for the call from Dermatology to set his appointment, since the regular clinic couldn’t figure it out. One guess was Leishmaniasis (say that three times fast), which is a condition that results from flea bites in certain countries. Afghanistan is one of them. And you think good ol’ American flea bites suck..ick. Hopefully he finds out soon and gets it cleared up. It doesn’t hurt or itch, it’s just…there.
Anyhow. That Time Again. Tonight is the homecoming ball. So, while I’m not at the ceremony, I’m getting ready for that. That’s right, once again, I am getting all dressed up in a formal gown, full makeup, hair done (I hope). I even polished my toenails. The camera is in my purse, we just need to shower and get dressed. After he picks up our clothes from the cleaner, and I annihilate the dog hair.
The dress (taken with crappy cell phone camera, forgive me…lol) I found last weekend at JC Penney’s. Unfortunately it suffered some wrinkling on the rack.
Shoes and purse…
I actually got two dresses, since they were on sale. Ended up spending less than I planned originally for one. the other is a black version of the red, with white trim at the top. I’ve learned it never hurts to have spare formals in the closet. You really never know when a formal event will pop up, and if it’s not during prom or homecoming season pickins can be pretty slim unless you spend extra money at specialty stores.
So, tonight, my job is “Arm Candy”. A nice break from the last year where my job has been EVERYTHING.
A picture’s worth a thousand words. These two…are worth a million. Even if those words are “squeeeeeeomgomgyay!! repeated ad nauseum.
Well, you know how it is. You get new toys, you have to play with them right? So, I used the closest thing to me, and just…went for it. My custom teddy bear, Sam.
Sure the arms are wrong, and there are a few goofs here and there. And I forgot the white starts on the blue. But, he’s fluffy, and looks like a teddy bear. So I’m calling my first attempt a success. Ya gotta start somewhere.
