Well, today, I didn’t bowl as well as I had hoped.  I know it didn’t do anything to my average, but I gave some people a few laughs.

 Imagine, I’ve got earphones on and I’m listening to Elvis.  Now, imagine that I’m am cleaning house, listening to Elvis.  It was a riot!  I was dancing and singing and everyone looking at me like I’m crazy (mainly because I’m the only one who can hear the music and I’m neither a great singer or dancer) and I’m shaking my booty all over the lanes.  It was a hilarious.  I was even laughing at myself at points throughout the evening.

I went and played the slots.  I had $106 on my card.  I played on a different machine and I lost it all 😦  I had it.  I had quadrupled my money.  It wasn’t like I was greedy or anything, but I really just didn’t feel like going home!  So, I spent it all.  Do you realize how much yarn I could have bought or the newest Sims2 game that I could have gotten or a new Wii game?

Oh well.  Easy come, easy go.

Well, it’s almost 1 am and I should think about hitting the sack.  I’m a little bored with Rob gone, but I’m an independent woman, I’m alright!

Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

I don’t know what my problem is.  Today, I’m in a bit of a funk.  Maybe it’s because Rob is leaving to go on a mission in a couple of days.  Maybe it’s because I had I had a dream last night about someone here.  I asked her if she had a problem with me and she said, “Yes.”  Actually, I don’t know if it WAS a dream or if it was real, but I’m pretty sure it was just a dream.

Maybe it’s because we’re moving again.  I honestly don’t know.  I’m sure I will be fine tomorrow.  Or just maybe I’m just a little tired or maybe it’s because I haven’t drank coffee in a couple of days.

Anyway, I’m doing alright.  It’s just one of those days…

Yesterday, Gizmo was so nice to Casey.  He came up to Casey and gave him a big hug.  It was the sweetest thing.  I had never seen Gizzy do that to Casey before.

Today, we took Casey for a walk.  He did something new.  I had taken him off the leash and Rob found a flat basketball and started to play with it.  Casey wanted to join in the game and nosed the ball back over to Rob.  🙂  Then, we decided to walk over to the other side of the park and let him run.  Casey grabbed the detached leash in his mouth and was acting like we had him hooked up.  He walked very nicely with us.  Rob found a pine-cone and tossed it to Casey.  They played for a few minutes, but Casey grew tired of the game quickly.  He had decided to run at full speed for like 20 minutes. He was doing pretty well, staying in our sight and not going too far.  He fell over and started having one of his episodes.  Typically, we’re not supposed to mess with him too much while he’s having one of his episodes, but we thought he’d be more comfortable at home, so I picked him up and we walked home.  The episode lasted for a while, longer than usual.  He was disoriented and shaky for a while, which is not typical.

Rob’s worried that Casey’s condition could lead to something much more serious, but from what I’ve read about it, it really doesn’t affect anything else.  Yes, this condition does require more frequent vet visits, but other than that, he’s a perfectly healthy dog.  His ticker is strong, from what the vet was saying the last time we took him in because he had swollen anal glands after staying in a kennel for a long weekend and that is the most common problem with Casey’s breed.  Casey’s sleeping now.  Poor little guy.

We’re thinking about getting a German Shepard puppy in few months, so that Casey will have a buddy to play with.  He needs a companion!

Tomorrow, I’m doing a breakfast fundraiser at the motor-pool and I’m baking muffins right now.  Tomorrow morning, I have to get up early and make breakfast burritos.  Yumm!

So, I guess I better go for now!  TTFN and thanks for reading!

Well, as I explained earlier this week, it was busy.  Much busier than I had originally anticipated!  I ended up going to the Retirement Ceremony with Rob on Thursday afternoon.  We were home long enough for Rob to grab a sandwich before we headed out to the Town Hall Meeting.  People are FREAKING out about the move to Kaiserslautern.  I don’t know what’s so scary about it, other than the fact that there’s a lot of people moving and some people who would rather live on base are not going to be able to do so.

I had league bowling tonight.  I bowled fairly decently.  I was well above my average in all but two games.  I bowled six, so I’m quite happy about this.  I don’t remember my scores tonight.  😦  My average has been going up every week, and as the average goes up, the handicap goes down.  Tonight I was listening to Elvis all night on my iPhone and I know that it was actually helping me.  When I listen to Elvis, it reminds me of my dad when I was a teenager.  He used to walk around the house singing some song or the other.  My dad sounds a lot like Elvis.

Rob is researching our next trip.  We received a $500 voucher because of the very badly handled flight from Germany to Ohio.  We are extremely grateful.  We’re hoping that we can use the vouchers from here in Germany because *obviously* we don’t live in the states.  We’re still waiting to see if the airline will allow us to use the voucher here.  There are so many places that we want to visit while we are still here.  We’ve made a ton of trips that are off the beaten path.  We’re currently looking at a trip to Moscow or Dublin.  I would really love to go to Russia, but not when it’s cold.  I would also love to go to Egypt and South Africa, but I don’t think that we’re going to have the opportunity to go to those countries.  Rob isn’t really interested in a trip to Egypt, so he thinks we should do separate vacations, but I don’t want to go on vacation by myself.  That doesn’t sound very fun to me.  I don’t know any ladies here that are interested in going to either of those locations.  It’s not the type of vacation that most Americans wish to go on.  Maybe I can get Mom and Dad F. to accompany on those trips.  They are big travelers!  I donno!

 Anyway, it’s almost 11.  I should probably go for now, even though I’m hopped up on coffee from the bowling alley.  Ummm, can you say “Motor-oil”?  LOL!!

Well, have a great day and thanks for reading!

Rob and I were really lucky this past week to have the opportunity to attend a marriage retreat at the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.  We were able to take some time and relax, get away from the demands of being a command team and focus on our marriage.  We had a really great time and we learned a lot, too.

We actually got to see it snow in Germany for the first time in 2 years.  It was really nice.  Casey puppy stayed with the neighbors this week.  He learned how to mark a few weeks ago, and Casey was marking in their house.  It was a bit embarrassing for me, but she said that they completely understood.  We are going to have him neutered when we move to Kaiserslautern.  Rob’s also really looking forward to getting a German Shepard puppy, too.  Casey really needs a companion and Rob wants “a real dog”.  As if Casey was a “fake” dog!! LOL!

This weekend, we’re taking it easy.  I’m going to make a pancake breakfast for him tomorrow and he’s going to make a tuna casserole for dinner tonight…yumm!

Well, I guess I better get going.  I’m sorry, there are no pictures from Edelweiss.  I brought the camera, but I left it in the hotel room for the majority of the trip.  I always forgot to grab it, or we thought, “We can come back up later and get it”  which of course we didn’t do…I have some not-so-great camera phone pictures, but nothing really worth posting.  Oh well.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
