Guilty….! Hate when this happens 🙂
My current wardrobe issue, however, is what to wear for homecoming! Chuck gets home in 3-ish weeks!!! Yay!! So should I buy a new outfit, or wear a trusty one I already have? Last time I was quite overdressed compared with everyone else, and odds are Chuck won’t care what I’m wearing, or barely notice. But these are the things one can’t help thinking about after 6 months apart. Looking good, but effortlessly so!
My absolute favorite summer fruits!
– Young children taking communion at church. It’s a holy sacrament, not snack time! Even though it is pretty delicious…. But seriously. I wasn’t allowed to participate till I understood what it meant!
– Ants invasion of my Raisin Nut Bran. (How gross is it on a scale of 1 to 10 that I ate it anyway?)
– Verizon Wireless. Actually, just Holly Ridge, NC. Every measure I have taken to improve my Internet situation has actually either done nothing, or made it worse, and at a co$t no less. I won’t bore you with details, but I have come to terms with a disconnected existence out here in the boonies… and a very confused bill.
– Health and nutrition studies. I heard eating too much of my beloved tuna means too much mercury in my system. So I mix some turkey sandwiches into my lunches. Turns out deli meats are high in cancer-causing nitrates. Sigh. I need to just eat what I want.
– The fact that I have no washer/dryer. Today is cleaning day and without a way to wash towels and sheets, I feel incomplete. It’s one of those small things I take for granted in daily life 🙂
End rant.
Lovely frolic on the beach today. I am too sunburned to lay out again for a while (4th of July five-hour sunfest may have been a bit much), so I just spent an hour walking the shore and splashing in the waves, wearing a loose tank top most of the time to protect my fried little tummy. It was glorious – the water is simply amazing now.
Any time I speak what I feel, or call someone out, or make a point – however politely – I still end up feeling like a b*tch! Or guilty, at the very least. Or doubtful of my position in the first place. I thought it was supposed to be liberating?!
I guess what is liberating is not caring what people think… But it seems I’m not there yet. I really don’t like to make people feel bad. Or annoyed. Or any kind if negative emotion.
Maybe it’s boredom, but I am seriously on a roll planning my EuroTrip for next spring. The only problem is the more I read and research, the more I want to see and do…! #notime #nomoney #oyvey
Chuck gets watermelon and eggs for the 4th of July! It’s the little things… 🇺🇸🍉#soexcited #countyourblessings #happybirthdayamerica #deployment #milso #usmc
Happy birthday, ‘Murica!! @missymmm7 @jordybu @stepniix #dc #usa #america #patriotic #4thofjuly #independenceday
I get a 4-day weekend for the 4th! One of those days is unpaid leave of course, since the Chamber is broke and our contingency plan requires us to take 2 unpaid days off per month, but that’s okay. The weather forecast is beach-perfect 🙂
Otherwise, I’m not sure what I’ll do for 4 days. I’m used to really full and busy Independence Day weekends. Things are pretty quiet here – but I’m not particularly in the mood to be social anyway. I just wish I had functioning internet at home!
Lately I’ve been watching Sex and the City DVDs. I’m on Season 2. I must say, I used to hate that show and everything it was about. I think it was because I couldn’t relate to it. I wasn’t in relationships, wasn’t dating, wasn’t having sex. But now I’m finding it pretty hilarious. And interesting. Parts of it still make me cringe to see how it’s influenced a generation of young women, so I can’t get 100% on board, but it’s good entertainment and has some relateable insight here and there.
Amazing…ly true!
