Yesterday Kira and I went to jack in the box to order our usual  French fries and give the employees a hard time. We pulled up and as kira is the one good with funny voices she said in an Hindi accent,   "Hello, we would like a hot dog with chilli."   "I'm sorry, ma'am but we don't sell hot dogs."   "Okay, how about a hot dog with ketchup?"   "No, I'm sorry but we don't have hot dogs."   "How about with mustard?"   "Ma'am, We do not sell hot dogs at Jack in the Box."   "Just the bun then?"     The manager came on and was very angry, which of course ended our fun. And she burned our French fries. But it was fun none the less.

So, I have been taking metformin for about... 2 months now. Im starting
to feel better regularly since my dosage was upped by 700mg daily. My
stomach bothers me from time to time. But its not horrible. I did
however a randomly vomit tonight. It was kind of cool. I was walking
Dixie and just "bleh!" on the ground. He he. Dixie ate it YUCKIE! I seem
to be "regulating" nicely. On the day I would have ovulated had I been
ovulating my cycle restarted because of kira's presence here. She made
fun of me about it and her's started the same day. Hahaha! There is a
chance that regardless of treatments I still won't ovulate on my own and
will require the assistance of a fertility drug like clomid. Which of
course at my age almost guarantees the conception of multiples. 2-4 is
likely. We have been swimming as often as we can lately. I was
crispified recently.

Corrections

Shaun would like everyone to know that he did not in fact fall asleep at
the wheel I was just being paranoid that he would. And that he gave his
shift up early when he was tired. :) men are so touchy.

Absurdity

I was recently watching this Disney movie called "taking 5." In this
movie these teens kidnap a band and then get them to play at their high
school. At the end, the parents comeback from vacation and realize there
were a bunch of boys in the house. They get super mad and follow them to
the school (because their daughter stole the car). Once they get there
everything is fine. They just watch the performance and everyone goes
home happy. Except the older sister who goes on tour with the band.
Now, what the heck kind of parents go on vacation and come home to find
a house full of 18 year old boys with your 15 year old daughter - watch
her steal the car and then once you find her say, "Oh, its okay. Those
boys are rock stars." Holy crap! Who in the world does that? No one.
Only Disney could distort the family image in such a way that the
parents are morons and the children can just run amuck doing what ever
takes their fancy with no consiquences.
But on a slightly more realistic note, im nervous about the move. We're
hiring a cleaner so I don't have to worry about that. But apparently the
movers are grumpy. So I need to make them breakfast or lunch. Supposedly
this makes them happy and nice to your stuff.
In about a week I'll need to get rid of some furniture. Shaun says we
can buy a sledge hammer and bust the couch (the one I hate) in a million
pieces thus making it possible to get it out the door. Or vacuum up
depending on how carried away I get.
So, Shaun gets a 2 week vacation before he has to go to Japan for 2
years. On our way out of California we are going to stop by oceanside
and see the beach. Then visit with Tom and Marie before we head to
Texas.
We will not be pulling a 24 hr drive again. That was awful last time.
I've never been more scared. Not being able to sleep because Shaun kept
falling asleep at the wheel. And then having to drive for hours after
that. This will not be happening again. No, no, no.
Once we get into Texas, we're going to say hi to my to my family. Then
head into Houston to receive our crap from TMO. Then we can relax a
little. It will be good for Shaun. He's tired.

Shopping in yucca.. Again.

So, kira got here safely. She is adjusting the boring lifestyle as well.
At first she woke up and was like, "im late for work!" because we were
always going to sleep late. :) but now we're doing things and fighting
the boredom. Swimming tanning and grooming. And the occasional trips
outside with the dog to swing. And now its off to the thrift store to
smell the odd combination of cats and formaldehyde.

Upset in the Desert

So, Shaun is headed to Japan in a little over a month. Kira will be here
in approximately two weeks. And if i wasn't about to move to Texas, i
would leave the housing. GGGRRRR! Its like I'm living in an ant farm.
This place is bugging the crap out of me. If the roof isn't leaking and
water is every where, Its the ants or my neighbors leaving used condoms
on the sidewalk or letting they're trash blow all over my yard and get
me in trouble. Not to mention the vandalism.
There is a woman that lives next to me that is responsible for all
of the trash. I call her Malibu Barbie because here hair is blonde, her
face is painted on and her head is full of air. Her husband is deployed
and she is SUCH a trouble maker. She has parties almost every night. I
believe it is her that tore a hole in my lawn furniture and destroyed my
outside decorations. and there is no reason for it. I have NEVER said or
done anything unfriendly to this woman. I even say hello at the mail
box. Before i leave i would like to squeeze her head to see if it
deflates and collapses like a Barbie.
If it didn't mean my husband would be leaving me for a long time, I
would be thrilled to leave this poor excuse for a "neighborhood" Ant
hill is more like it.

We've received Shaun's first PDS (permanent duty station) he's Going to
Okinawa Japan. I'm real nervous about not living with him, but at least
I'll be with family I suppose.
Once he gets to said foreign country, he will have all kinds of on the
job training to complete before he can get authorization to take leave.
And seeing as he's not leaving until almost June, he will not be able to
make it to the family reunion in July.
However, as I'll be in Texas at the time and not in Japan, I will most
certainly be going. I may be bringing my room mate/best friend Kira as I
cannot very well be leaving her at my in-laws for a week. As for my
animals, I have no idea what I'll do. I'll think of something.
I was starting to feel a little better - getting used to the side
effects of metformin - and my doctor upped my dose to 850mg twice daily.
Ick. Oh well, supposedly this should help regulate everything in about 6
months.
I miss the snow. It wasn't here very long, but I liked it a lot.
Bye-bye snow!
