Alright. I have many things I have to accomplish before TJ gets home. It's amazing, this whole time I have been screaming from the rooftops "
ONE WEEK!!!!". Yet this week has creeped up on me fast like a cheetah stalking his prey. (I have been watching a lot of Life on the Discovery channel, can you tell?) Anyhow, now I have roughly 3 days to do finish a whole bunch of stuff. (it's not really 3 days, I am just telling myself it's 3 days away so I can get this shiz done. In reality, he is still grounded in Afghanistan, with no word of when their flight will be, because of this stupid Icelandic volcano that has decided to muff up all the airspace the week TJ is supposed to be home. As you can see from my PG curse words, I am slightly pissed.) This is what needs to be done:
1. New extensions, beautiful long ones.
2. Operation cleanup. If you catch my drift.
3. Sew new straps on
the dress. I'm not entirely sure I will accomplish this. If I do not find the fabric at Joanne's I am not even going to bother. Although I would
really like thicker straps on it.
4. Beach Rental. I found this CUTEE rental right on the beach. The owner was so nice she said to just give her a call when I knew TJ would be in town and she would make it work. I just hope she isn't all booked up, seeing that our reservation will be
VERY last minute.
5. Wash and Iron TJ's civilian clothes.
6. Pack our bags!
7. Clean the car. We cant be picking him up in a dirty vehicle. I am also super excited to write something cute on my back window about picking up my sailor. I even bought the window paint and by bought I mean borrowed from our ASG art room.
8. Take care of the odds and ends at work and school before I go MIA for a week. I need to finish 2 essays 1 extra credit assignment and finalize banquet plans.
I am almost certain more tasks need to be added to this list but for the sake of time, and my sanity, I will keep it to these 8 things. Oh, I should maybe throw in a few last minute workouts because, lets face it, I must look good! SO MUCH TO DO!
On an unrelated note. I am totally obsessed with real estate. When I am not watching Judge Judy, or even when I am, I search listings. This is my favorite one so far:
Isn't this house a gem? It sits on 23 acres of beautiful Virginian land. Some day I will have a house like this, with a salad garden out back, some rows of corn and hens to lay eggs for my freshly baked pies which I will place in the window sill to cool. All while all my kiddies run around the fields and enjoy the wonderful outdoors.
One day.
Oh my heck. Today is the day. The day I have been waiting for the past 7 months to come. I got a call this morning from TJ's cell. No more crazy satellite numbers, no more awful connection, no more operators coming on the line telling us our time is up. I am so excited but at the same time nervous and scared, roll all those feelings into one and they almost want to make me barf. It is like that feeling when you have to go up in front of a large group and wing a speech (I do this a lot, don't judge me). Or its the feeling you get when your tied 50-50 with 10 seconds remaining (aww, I miss my basketball days). It is nervousness mixed in with so much adrenaline you feel both sick and like superman. Never the less, I am incredibly happy! This day seemed like it would never come, AND IT IS HERE!! I still have 18 billion things to finish so I am going to keep it short and sweet. In 9 hours I get to have my baby back!!!!!
