Max called!
Jul 31st
I thought the little shit was gonna ship out without calling me. Dude owes me some cash and the last time he called I was all hormonal, so I figured he was avoiding me.
He’s rearranging his packing and saying his phone goodbyes. They did the dog-sniffing thing on his stuff already and now they’re just waiting around for step 43 out of 692 steps to a new location.
2am they fly out of Hawaii to some undisclosed location in the US, then on to Germany. He’ll be there acclimating/training for a couple of weeks and then on to somewhere around Kirkuk. Not sure of the communication access he’ll have but lots of returning guys say his cell should work. We’ll see.
Firefly Fandom Continues

Got my copy of Done the Impossible yesterday. I did see a couple of faces I knew and a few more names I recognized. Gee, for some reason I thought Orson Scott Card would be older. Great documentary and good music.
Casey and Venus' First Anniversary will be
Jul 28th
July 28, 2007.
Yup. Casey called me this morning and told me they were going before the Justice of the Peace at 5:00 this evening and I’d better be there. And I was, and Buck met us there, and Ginnie was already over there for the weekend, and their roommate and his bratty daughter and her two nicely behaved siblings, and Casey’s best man Derek and his horrible wife and their two daughters. Small bunch. Venus wanted me to stand up with her, and Derek for Casey. Which I did. It was nice, though the Justice was a tad “off.” Didja know the most important thing in any relationship is communication? Over love, even. Right. Okay. And it was hot and muggy in that building. I’m hoping the pictures Ginnie took don’t show the sweat marks ruining the shots. AND I announced nobody was allowed to call her Sky anymore now that they were officially married.
Our last name is Walker. See if you can figure that out.
I took the kids to Olive Garden after, and halfway through dinner I’d had enough. I pushed myself too hard today and now I’m exhausted. I just wanted to post this.
Friday
Jul 28th
Finally, someone nominated me (in jest) for a position on the AMCF board!
Hey, has BD finally fallen off the face of the earth or did she just move along to a board I don’t visit?
Stuff I currently have on my DVR:
- Kyle XY
- The Closer
- Saved
- Eureka
- Project Runway
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ginnie’s)
- Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss
If I don’t do anything else this weekend, I’m buying friggin’ light bulbs. I have one working lamp in the living room. The garage light is out, Ginnie’s room is out, half the lights in the bathroom are out, and all of the little counter top lights in the kitchen are out. Light bulbs and batteries. The outside garage door thing is dead, my in-car garage door opener is getting wanky, and Buck’s doesn’t work at all. I’m pretty sure every smoke alarm is out. I’ve let this slip too long.
Minor inconveniences
Jul 27th
Doc sez, dontcha remember me saying 6 weeks dear? I’d informed him Hubby was impatient and how long did he have to wait. You know, the standard shift the blame thing. If Ida remembered the six weeks thing Ida never asked! Doc sez there are other things we can do. Erm, no. We’ll just go to our separate corners and take care of our own issues, thanx. I’ve been married too long to have to do that shit again.
I’m also not supposed to be driving yet. Though I feel fine enough to drive, what if I got in an accident? Dude, you know how much safer I am driving instead of letting my 15 year old chauffeur me around? But she has been doing all of the driving, except for today’s trip into Phoenix and back. And that other night puddle-running. Yeah, she’s getting all full of herself because she has to drive.
The right clicker on my optical mouse has died. Only had it since Christmas. What ever happened to quality?
Now I shall enter all the school dates onto my calendar.
Make another follow-up appointment.
Call to get our water heater checked.
Call to get the window fixed on my car.
Call Hubby and tell him to pick up some hand lotion on the way home.
Weirdest fucking dream last night
Jul 27th
You know how when you can’t have sex you think about it more? Yeah, me so horny baby. Buck’s chomping at the bit, I’m avoiding my favorite porn sites like the plague and I still have vivid, seriously vivid dreams.
Last night’s included shadynights getting her sex therapist husband to volunteer to show me how to get more out of my ah, equipment. Then hubby came home from work and I had to explain him to hubby. And hubby being okay with it. Freaky. And we had to explain, demonstrate our “styles” to this Doctor.
I wouldn’t know shadynights if she walked up on the street and slapped me but her hubby (in my dream) is fiiiine.
Doctor’s appointment this morning. Should get the a-okay. Everything down there seems to be in working order from my perspective. I may not even wait for Buck to get home.
Arizona weather
Jul 26th
There are three kind of weather in Arizona. Hot, fucking hot, and monsoon. Last night was monsoon. My favorite weather to drive around in. This is why I’ll never have a regular car. I need that coupla-times-a-year sloggin through the puddles in my 4-wheel-drive. Puddles hell, last night was absolute rivers of water on the streets around here. Hella flooding. I love it. And no it’s not a gas-guzzling super SUV, it’s a little Freelander, so bite me. Had this storm been in daytime so I could see better, I’d be out in the desert mudding. At least two rather large trees came down in our complex. Couple more storms and the playground won’t have any shade trees left. They were both pretty big trees, seriously top-heavy for AZ where the dirt is dry and hard and they can’t develop proper root systems against the occasional wind storm. We’re paying for all that rain with a monster humidity level today.
The only problem is my computer tends to slag down after a good rain. Its been driving me nuts all day. Must have something to do with underground cable or something.
I'm navel lint!

What the hell is wrong with me?

I’ve cried three times today.
I seldom cry. Sometimes sad scenes in movies get to me but seldom in real life do I just burst into tears.
How freaking annoying.
The first was because the phone rang for the third time while I was trying to nap. The freakin’ phone rings ALL the time and I hardly ever answer it anyway so why did it bother me?
The second time, I’ve been thinking about Max a lot over the last few days and decided to call him and as soon as he answered his phone “Hi Mom” I burst out crying again. Now he’s all upset.
Then, some snarky girl died on a program I recorded (Saved on TNT) and I was sobbing again.
Whadafuxup?
If this stupid patch on my ass it going to turn me into a sloppy girly-girl, I’d rather have the gorram hot flashes.
