OOh! Work

[desertvixen]

Trying to get the false motivation going here, but it's not working. Especially with the nasty gray weather outside.

We had some fun with tornados and heavy rainstorms last night, including encounter with Annoying Government Civilians ("We don't have to listen to you military peons..." Look buddy, I'm not telling you you can't go outside for kicks, I'm telling you because the base is locked down. ARRGH!)

I'm really hoping that this weather stops being so ugly, because we have to go do Army stuff outside Saturday morning, and this little Corporal really dislikes being wet/cold. Hot is fine, but the other... ick.

Hopefully, I can not be in such a bitchy mood when I go in today, but I'm not making promises.

Then, last night, had one of those "military couple" moments. My husband misplaced his tie for his Class A uniform, and asked me if perhaps, it was hiding out in the same bag as his dress blues. It wasn't, but I got mildly depressed taking his blues out of the bag to check, since the last time I saw him in them, we were having our actual wedding. Sometimes this separation thing really bites.

Random thought : I wonder how many people who were offended by the MNF intro were bothered not just by the "raciness" but by the black football player / white woman factor? Yeah, it was a little surprising when they did it (in light of the whole Janet Jackson at halftime thing), but I can't say I was offended.

Ooh! I have a mortal fear of tornadoes. (Of course so where do I live? In an apartment complex smack in the middle of the biggest tornado prone patch of land east of the Mississippi...) I don't know how you and the Hubby do it. Mine goes away for 10 weeks every summer and that in itself is hard enough.

I missed it, but I saw a clip this AM on the news. I'd have to agree with you- especially where I live - that this is as much if not a bigger factor.

Chattanooga. They have this lovely tendency to come up through Birmingham nad head straight towards Knoxville. Which leaves me right there in between :) I've been to Memphis once or twice. My brother in law used to live there.

huh...the bluffs here seem to divert most bad weather...it boils up around us and then bypasses us.
