What to Do When the Hubby's Away

I'm not going to lie I've been in a crummy mood the last week or so. Hence my reason for not blogging. But I've put my big girl panties on and trying to look at things in a more positive light. RC's away (booo!), but I've taken in upon myself to not mope around & have some fun!

So, what do when the hubby's away?

1. Order Chinese food one night

2. Go by Redbox and pick up some movies.

Bridesmaids and Jane Eyre were my selections. Really excited to see both!

3. Replenish your stash of reading material.

I just finished the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series and loved them! Up next American Wife and The Glass Castle.

4. Get a haircut! :)

6. Go to a movie by yourself! This was a huge thing for me. I thought it would be all weird and I'd feel like a loser, but it totally wasn't! I actually really enjoyed myself. It was $1 popcorn and drink day so I went to a matinee showing of 'Whats Your Number?'. Really cute movie! And hello, Chris Evans! :) It was kind of nice just picking a movie and not having to worry if someone else would like it. So if there's a movie you really want to see don't wait around for someone else! I mean, it's not that weird to go to a movie by yourself... people go shopping by themselves all the time?

Anywho, I misses him and can't wait for him to get home! :)

Happy Wednesday, y'all!

Walking Contradiction

I have to admit I'm kind of a walking contradiction. My guy friends, who are just as baseball obsessed as me, shake their heads in confusion when I admit my love and obsession with Keeping Up with the Kardashians. My girlfriends who I laugh, squeal, and cry through chick-flicks with don't understand my ability to sit through 3 hours worth of baseball and anguish over base-running errors. I don't blame them. I flip between E! and ESPN all the time. I need that perfect balance of drama on the field and on the television screen.

This was perfectly illustrated when I was watching 'At Home with Jason Heyward' during the Braves rain delay. I perked up when they introduced the segment, turned up the volume, and got a little giddy while listening to Hayward's childhood and rise through the minor leagues. I event got goosebumps when the replayed JHay's HR in his FIRST at bat as a major leaguer against Carlos Zambrano. Then a few minutes I switch over to Keeping Up with the Kardashians to see Kim's proposal and same thing! Giddy and anxiously waiting to see how Kris would propose. (By the way, I'm totally a fan of Kris Humphries. Who, I might add, is a million times better than Kris Jenner. The woman is crazy and definitely the most immature of all the Kardashians and that includes Kendall and Kylie.)

So, I confess. I'm guilty. I'm a walking contradiction. I'm just as comfortable in a tshirt and baseball hat watching a game as I am all dolled up with the girls squealing over a chick-flick.

So you're telling me there's a chance!

So the day has finally come. RC's orders were posted! And what did we find out?
Nothing, really. We received dates for his training, which we already had.
And you know that really big thing... like where we will be stationed...
our first place to really call home as a married couple...

This is what he was told "Projected tentative permanent duty is _______ .
This assignment... is subject to change based on Army... blah blah blah..."

_______ is a really, really (can I stress one more time REALLY) nice place.
Like perfect for this Southern girl. We thought this PCS was a shot in the dark.
So tell me Army, why do you feel like teasing me....
It's not fair to get me excited when you're only giving me a 50-50 chance...

So, to avoid all possible frustrations I'm looking at beautiful sandy beaches
and quoting one of the best movies of all time, Dumb and Dumber...

Back to Bloggin'

With a new blog design that I am fairly happy* with I am ready to get back to bloggin'!

Today, I'm linking up with Carissa @ Lowercase Letters for Miscellany Monday.

[1] Drinks downtown with friends, time in the sun, re-watching Liar Liar & Runaway Bride made for a relaxing and perfect weekend! Plus, I got ahead on school work and snuck in a date with OAO. I sure missed that kid. Sadly, it will be another 2 weeks before I get to see him again.

[2] A couple of OAO's friends found out their orders for after officer training. I am starting to get really anxious... I want to know where we'll be PCS'd, dang it! Oh and by the way, I have nooo idea if I even used that good ol' Army acronym correctly. Geesh, I'm in for a rude awakening.

[3] I don't know if you remember this post, but that chain link on my wall is getting reeeeally small. Only 41 days to go. I am so blessed to be marrying such a wonderful man!
