I hate trying to think of a good way to start writing anything, so I'm not going to bother.
"Hello."
A little chicken told me that a few of you asked where the hell I was and what-not. So here's the answer!
You've been warned! If you don't know me or don't care, back out now. If you come in here bitching and saying meanie things...I'll.....um....I'll ignore you. Oh yes, yes I will!
Hmmm...I think all my posts start off like this. Meh...
February 14th- I moved from TN to OK. I played house-pet and planned wedding stuff for 3 months. May 24th- We returned to Memphis for the wedding. May 30th- Got married. Left the next day for Virginia and toured all the historical stuff for a week, then David had two weeks of training at Ft. Eustis. Honeymoon and work all wrapped up into one. Can't complain about chilling out on historical Yorktown beach while the hubby went to work! Okay, so there was only one day that I actually made it to the beach, but whatever...
Now we're home and I'm still not working (Loki forgive me). That's next on the agenda. Another degree may be in the works. Or I'm thinking maybe I should get certified as a personal trainer. Lots of officers' wives needing motivation to get moving. I suppose since I'm now a married old hag I really ought to focus on getting fat and bitchy! Actually, I'm trying to navigate this military officer's wife thing. Apparently I need to invest in thank-you notes. I've already received two or three cards from the same lady, and I can't even remember what the hell we did! In fact, SHE and her husband watched OUR cats while we were gone and left US a wedding gift! I hope the other wives appreciate goofy childish thank-you notes with cats on them. Hallmark had a sale.
Godchicken asked me if there were any people to whom I wanted to say hello, but the list kept going and going. So 'HI' to all you other weirdoes. The crabby bastards, too.
I'll spare you all the mushy details of the wedding. Actually I'm not a gushy person, so all I can think to say that may slightly be on the gushy side is "It was fun!" and that I really did marry my friend (he's able to keep up with my goofballness). It was fun in spite of the three tornadoes that caused the whole shin-dig(?) to stop and move on downstairs to the basement-level auditorium for a while. Damn, was it really for an HOUR?? Several people who lived in the areas reportedly hit left early, and all the other 'events' got crammed in afterward. We had to keep killing DJ Cody's (aka 'acrog' on here) groove with flower tosses and cake cutting and such. SORRY CODY!! But he did a kick-ass job. AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'IT WAS WEIRD' CODY?? EH? What's so weird about a half naked woman shaking her big tatas in our faces? And drunken professional dancers doing the chicken dance while tables full of AA/Alanon people look on?
We had an open bar, so I'm sure none of the people who stayed on until the end minded any mishaps.
Oh yeah, and the top tier of my cake fell off. I was just upset that no one got pictures of it in pieces. Did you see that happen, Cody?? Apparently panicked witnesses were trying to catch the chunks. They lied to me and told me it was in the fridge.
The first thing David said to me after we scurried away from the ceremony into a hallway was "You're maaaaaaaaaah wiiiiiiife naaaaooow!" Ever seen The League of Gentlemen?
After all my bitching, I caved in and wore a veil. It dawned on me that if my hair was all jacked up, I could just cover it.
That's about all, folks.
Anyone going to the Hotter'N Hell ride in Texas this year?
Check out the nerd who beat me up and stole my dress.

thanks Nat
Sorry about 'weird', maybe a bad choice of words.
Maybe I should have said 'many unexpected things happened'

Oh, and we got married in front of this painting:
http://www.brooksmuseum.org/public/exhibitions/?id=10000139
The officiant was a judge friend of a judge friend, and the ceremony was in an art gallery so I thought the religious paintings would appease the churchy family/guests. It's memorable for many reasons, but mostly I thought it was funny that we were getting married in front of a painting of a wee wee.

Oh jesus, you fed him didn't you. You have to know that men are like cats and once you feed them, they won't go away.
