About Me

My photo
I'm an overly dramatic individual doing my best to be a rock star wife that goes in tow where the Army sends her husband... This isn't always an easy task at times... I'm don't find myself to be the most witty, funny or interesting but others tell me that I am... I'll just be cooking and traveling through my sad (probably pathetic) attempt at blogging!

Clearly I have been slacking

I must be the world's worst blogger, well at least in my mind I am... It seriously has been since July that I last blogged and I wrote a thriller of a blog about removing gum from the dryer! How freaking exciting am I? I guess I'll do the sparknotes.com version of what's been happening (which after August is not a whole lot). July was relatively boring other than a broken hot water heater followed by the pressure release valve popping off and creating a mini rain forest like setting in my laundry room causing me to panic and scream like a little girl (which I managed to overcome and handle like an adult), a trip to Nazca and the arrival of my wedding dress.

August was a lot more exciting. That involved a trip to North Dakota to party with some of my favorite people and watch my new sister-in-law get married as well. Scott and I decided to jump on the band wagon and get married the following week... Probably one of the best days of my life to date... August 20th, 2011. On a side note, Kim Kardashian decided to have her wedding that day too! I should have bet her the $10 million she spent on her wedding that mine would last longer... Way to go the distance Kim! I can now say I've been happily married for almost 90 days. Go me! It probably helps that I actually like and love the person I married, even though I have a tendency to call him asshole and jackass frequently.

September was a snooze. I really can't recall anything super awesome other than my mom's birthday and my grandma's and my cousin's birthday too. So let's just skip to October.

October was host to my wonderful husband's birthday (see I don't always think he's a jackass or an asshole). I did my best to make it special with balloons, a cake made from scratch (no i didn't use the mix in the box and qualify it as from scratch) and some delicious steaks and baked potatoes... We went to Paracus that weekend which was a nice quite fishing town. I think my favorite moment of October is when I went to Mrs. Schauber's Halloween Coffee on the 17th...... I will accept the jackass of the month award for this one... The bottom part of the invite has black text which kinda went into a black background, so I tried to copy and paste the text to see if it was a costume or no costume required party... Well I ended up thinking it said costumes required... I drive over there and show up in my army girl pinup costume only to have her open the door to everyone dressed in regular casual attire.... How freaking embarrassing..... I really wanted to cry and run back in the elevator but I did what I do best and I rolled with the situation and enjoyed myself until I got home where I chose to continually beat myself up for looking like a jackass..... When Halloween actually rolled around, I didn't even dress up like I usually do and just went out with the husband to dinner and drinks..

November so far has been pretty good. At the beginning of the month Scott and I went to the Marine Corps Ball which was a total blast even with the crazy drama at the end of the night. You know it's not a good night unless some drunk asshole who claims to be a US citizen but is Iranian shows complete and utter disrespect for the US and it's service members tries to assault one of your friends. Let's just say our favorite drunk asshole got what he deserved and all of us were for the most part unharmed (us ladies were just a little shaken up from the unnecessary drama). This Sunday I might go to a bull fight. Now since I love animals and my idea of fun isn't watching a bull get killed at the end of a bull fight, I might not have the best time. It is part of the culture and the adventure though, so that's why I'm going to go anyways. A week from now is Thanksgiving. This would be the first Thanksgiving I'm hosting. I think it should turn out fine. I wish I knew where there was like an arts and crafts store around here because I would love to get my DIY on and make an awesome centerpiece so that I look like a cool, young, hip Martha Stewart...

Anyways, now that we are all caught up basically, I'll try to come up with a fun witty blog in between my endless surfing of Facebook and playing Cityville on FB..... Ta Ta for now folks!
