When I went to get the mail today, little did I know I was in for a sweet surprise.
I got a package from my friend Jenny that included a very pretty card and a gift that made me cry…..not a bad cry, but a cry with laughter mixed in because of a fun memory.
One night back in ‘06, my friends and I in the ESC had a bowling night with the OSC…a night that included all you can eat french fries. We personally took this on as a challenge and ate god only knows how many baskets of greasy bowling alley waffle fries. I fondly remember losing my appetite for bowling alley fries for many weeks afterwards, and the immediate heart burn, gas and indigestion of the task.
A picture was taken of the night, and recently (ok, it was Friday) I wondered how I could get my hands on the picture to have my own copy. (Kevin says I look retarded ”mentally challenged” and I had to explain to him that I was laughing while trying to keep the waffle fries from falling out of my mouth lol) Jenny put that very pic on a coffee mug so that I could remember them every morning while drinking my mandatory cuppa joe

I love that card too, don’t you? Under the flap it says “we’re friends”….Thanks Jenny, I love it!
I miss those crazy bitches too, it’s crazy….To look at the pic now too brings a little bit of sadness as the only one left from in the picture to eat those waffle fries there now is Jenny. Guess she will have to make Terri go and eat them with her
**** ETA: Heather has since taken pity on the old gal here and sent the pic to me via email!!!
Our cats’ in heat. (like the way I abruptly and add-like changed the subject? lol) Fiona is driving us insane. It started yesterday when we opened up the balcony door for a bit of fresh air. Must be she got a wiff of Mr Tomcat wandering around pissing in our bushes or something because she has been totally obnoxious ever since.
Note to self: Must. call. vet. to. get. her. fixed.
It’s Girl Scout cookie time and I’ve bought 10 boxes already. (ok, 9 really) and I’m happy to report that Carmel Delites are called Samoas lol I think the Girl Scouts should be very careful with naming cookies with that name, as it could be considered, by some, to be hostile and abusive lol (We also have the sugar free chocolate chip cookies, and ya….they suck.)
I got a brief glance at some celebs yesterday too…. “Lt Dan” and “Cliff” (Gary Sinise and John Ratzenburger) were out at Sembach for a little luncheon at the club. They were getting ready to depart the base and were getting into their USO van as I was coming on base. Would have been cooler to meet them, get a pic and autograph, but hey, I saw them.
The year….. 2006, and a copy of the digital mic is on its way to your email right now!
I designed the card all myself too..
Speaking of mentally challenged….Do you remember “acting” like a retard in the grocery store…Yelling for mom and dad. “Dad…dad…where are you?” (In your best retard voice I may add)
I always had a knack for that (purposely embarrassing my parents in public) didn’t I? God, I loved doing that!!
Okay, I was not in the picture, but I’m still here too!! What am I: chopped liver!! Jenny – let’s go get some bowling fries!!!
*****Sorry Rebecca! Did you know that I like liver?
