Yay for fourdays

So we get a fourday weekend yay.

And I was on google talking with a friend about his recent marrage and my kids and FFVII and Texas A&M NOT SCORING BEFORE THE SECOND HALF AND TURNING THE BALL OVER ON DOWNS ON THE ONE.

and this is one of the snippets from me:

"... if you get your leg cut open its like... oh well suck it up.... but if you have to make your bed a second time it is fair game to whine"

The army is weird to me somedays.

I still don't feel like an army guy. I just notice army things more. I notice that everyone I know can expect to be deployed in less than a year(80% of us will be statistically). I notice that a HUGE number of us will lose girlfriends/wives because of the difficulties of long distance relationships(Wulfa you are so freakin amazing you just don't know). I notice that being fit is mostly about not feeling out of breath and not about feeling super strong all the time. I notice that HOLY COW that guy has hair on his face... who let him out of the house like that... he looks so ... grimey. I notice girls with their hair down, they must be on pass or something. I notice that civilians all look fat(not all but such a huge number that it sticks out). I notice kids.

Kids really really stick out. They look so much smaller than they did before...

And this is just things that I notice after 5 months in TRADOC. What will I notice after being deployed for a year or a year and half? How much wierder will my normal world look?

And thats it for me today. I can't think of anything else to write...

Guildless.

Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...
