Today is a better day!

OK so today is a much better day. I had a good cry over the election, the ball, and my grandmother's surgery (which went very well) and I am going to bounce back and not make this blog be about bitchery, or butchery which is by far more interesting but not something I know ANYTHING about.

I also am getting to go have icecream tonight! GO GO ICECREAM! I am also very excited because I am learning how to do cableing on my knitting and its not that bad... I just REALLY have to count my rows right which isn't always easy considering my row counter is powered by the same hampster that powers my mind (and is starting to demand higher pay...). I am just glad that today has been a very good day.

November 4, 2008 The Ultimate Disapointment

See if I haven't said this yet... I am 38 almost 39 weeks pregnant. Not only have I been completely miserable all day, my candidate whom I woke up at 5AM to go vote for didn't win the election which is a huge bummer but not what I am writing about right now. My hubbster told me that again I am being screwed out of another Marine Corps Ball. Why? Because my hubbster's Gunny dosen't want me to go because I might go into labor while there. I am SO upset and disapointed about that because every year I do a LOT more than any other wife to help the boys celebrate the Birthday and many other holidays. This year may be the first year I don't bake my legendary Red Velvet Cupcakes with Gold Icing with the red sprinkles, or send pumpkin and pecan tassies for thanksgiving or christmas cookies to the shop and drop some off for the MPs that work the gate. Aparently I am not wanted and not a part of their Corps. Which is fine because I am just a wife, but if they don't want me arround I will make sure I am COMPLETELY out of their way. Yes I am more than a little hurt and bitter at this point about it, but for all I do to make their lives better (including homecooked meals once a paycheck for the single guys at my expense) one would think they wouldn't ask me to not be at the ball after having been married for 3 years and never getting to go because of unfortunate circumstances. I was in emergency surgery my first try, got food poisoning the day before my second, and now I am pregnant which is aparently a communciable disease. I know that every year people tell me that the whole thing sucks and its "sO over raited" but I wish I could decide that for myself.

I wish I could even think about something that I may have said or done to deserve ALL this today/at all. But I can't think of anything, and trust me I am VERY creative when it comes to things like this. I should even have positive karmah going right now because I taylored like 4 ladies dresses for this ball (that I am now not going to be going to) FOR FREE. Granted, it was just hemming and simple things like that because that is all I have the equiptment to do but I saved these girls like $40 a piece.

I have looked forward to going to this stupid thing for 3 years. I just want to dance with my hubbster. Is that so much to ask?

I know that in this blog there will be lots of Hubster stories. He is to smart for his own good and lacks the "maybe I shouldn't do/say that..." reflex. But he is doing something awesome for me today. He is going to go to JoAnns (the local craft store) with me and (hopefully) not complain. It was his idea so I am thinking he is just wanting to be sweet. The great thing about my hubster is that he will sometimes do random acts of just being kind. I like that. Then again who doesn't like that?

Last night we also went to B&N and Lowes so he could get some materials for rock hounding and a book about where to go to find nice rocks locally. It was actually a very good time, and I am really looking forward to getting to go. My grandad and I used to do that back in Texas and we would try to find Geodes (which are practically non existent in the area of Texas we were in but hey... it was worth a try and kept 7 year old me occupied). We will probably get more active in this arena once lil Duce is a year old and can toddle around a little bit. He isn't born yet (I am thinking next week...) but we will get to have fun as a family and do this.

First Post Ever

Well I have been thinking about starting a blog for a long time. Why? I really don't have a place to store my thoughts. There is always my word processor but honestly, I am wanting to share a little more of what and how I think. Why? To prove that I am still able to think. Not to anyone in particular more for myself. I promise that there will be a lot of stupid stories about life frusterations and some somewhat intelegent musings.
