BIG news
HUGE BIG GREAT TERRIFIC NEWS!
Derek’s definitely coming home early from his deployment. Unless he doesn’t. (it’s the military, so who really knows?) His relief is scheduled to come in early June which is several months earlier than we’d expected.
Downsides: We no longer have a house waiting for us in Ohio.(that’s our duty station) We got rid of it thinking we’d be out of the military by the time he got back from deployment.. You are reading the website of a hobo. Meanwhile, we’ve already begun looking up moving estimates. Helpful tip I came across:
Good to know.
BTW, that “buff” picture I posted on my last blog somehow managed to get on xanga’s “FEATURED” site. Out of all the funny pictures I post, how did that stupid one end up winning such a prestigious position? In honor of this momentous occasion, today’s featured song is my name. Egotism? Nah, I just couldn’t think of a better song. Do you have a better suggestion?
I’m done for now, it’s late and I’ve looked at all the online “house decorating” websites I can see for one day. (What? It’s my stress relief… DON’T MOCK ME!)
I’ll leave you with an economic stimulus letter I received:
Dear Citizen,
The U.S. federal government is sending most of us a $600 rebate or more. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China . If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs. If we buy a computer it will go to India . If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala or South America. If we purchase a good car it will go to Japan . If we purchase useless junk it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in the US. I’ve been doing my part and now it’s up to each of you to also help the American economy.
I thank you for your help.
Governor Spitzer

OK. Definite OH SNAP! (according to the flow chart, that is)
AwEsOmE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That totally rocks! So he is getting out then at e.t.s.? Not a bad decision. Also, noticed you said “we would be out.” Bravo. Nuff said.
Back to San Angelo? One thing I always remembered was the housing issues. Seems like the housing office has a hiring pre-requisite… an admiration, and emulation of Clinton’s management experience, and Obama’s depth of intelligence, as well as an Kerry-like blatant shun of common sense. If you deal with them again before it’s over, best wishes.
@James3_1 - Fortunately, Angelo is my home town and we have a family house waiting for us to move into. It’s got several acres to plant our budding family on. No more dealing with housing. =)The military has it’s perks, but housing personnel is NOT one of them.
LOL, another great post, Sis. Say thank you to your man for me for his service, and good luck with the moving…been there and done that plenty…and yes…it’s the service for ya.
You need to spend that 600 dollars on apple pies dyed with food coloring to look like American flags.
@Amandasbiggestfan - Yep. Because that’s the AMERICAN WAY!
YAY! I feel happy for you. And a little nervous too.
@charlenedanityra - Nervous, eh? It’s a little exciting and nervewracking to see my honey again after so many months. I can’t wait for him to see the gloriously “buff ” tan body and pasty white head. I’m a trend starter, I’m sure the look will catch on. =)
don’t forget crystal meth is american made. rednecks brew the crap anywhere they can, as often as possible. it’s cheap, chemically explosive when cooking, and toxic waste generating. but it’s american product, homemade.
seriously stay the hell away from meth. it’s posion. go to a&w and have some burgers.
dear citizen from gov. spitzer is comedic genius. i love it, i really do.
