Snippets

• Hell. Today is the dreaded day. I’ve told the Captain that if I have to endure anybody swaying and crying while singing “My Heart Will Go On,” I might have to punch someone.

• Freaks. Apparently because of this post and this one I now rank very high for “locker room naked” and its variations in Google. My blog has also been found with such interesting searches as “How much pubic hair would a eleven year old girl have if she already has breasts” and “at least my thighs funny email forward.” Kinda makes me miss the good ol’ days when people stumbled upon my site looking for the “boob fairy.”

• Weather. For the first time in five years, the Captain doesn’t have drill (or isn’t deployed) on the weekend of our local Harvest Fair. I’ve never been, so he’s excited to take me. Of course, it’s raining. Wet livestock anyone? I guess I don’t get my first taste of fried dough this weekend. Murphy’s Law, you know.

• Drama Queen. I have a birthday coming up, which is making me go batshit crazy on the Captain. Yesterday I started crying about being almost thirty and I’m not even engaged and then when I finally am it takes how long to plan a wedding and then after that I’d want some time alone with my husband before starting a family and then who knows how long it would take to be able to conceive and by the time I get to the point where I have kids I’ll be too old and there will be complications if I can even have kids at all. Yeah, I know. (In my defense, I’m menstruating. Totally not my fault.)

• Speed Reader. I’ve already blown through all my new books. There are plenty of books on my shelves that I haven’t looked at yet, but I think you’ve got to be in a certain mindset to tackle On Politics and Education by John Locke. Oh well. There’s always The Brothers Karamazov.
