Random Point #1 - The lovely granite installers came today to deliver our new granite countertops. I am deliriously excited! Only a few more days and I can unveil the before and after pics!
Random Point #2 - I am all about facebook status updates, but the people who leave rude comments aimed at irritating other people are stupid. We are all adults, so take your passive aggressive ways and ditch 'em. Grow Up!
Random Point #3 - I think all days should be Military Spouse Appreciation Day (or MSAD according to Mr. Marine). I eagerly informed him of the May 8 date and he accused me of trying to pull a scam to get some attention! The nerve!
Well, I sent him his own office's press release and then I began my negotiation tactics. Since we both get up really early on Friday, I allowed him to wait until Sat to deliver the goods... He did try and weasel his way into a day of his own "Military Member Appreciation day" but I laughed and quickly explained...
"Honey, every day that I faithfully waited for you I showed my appreciation. Each time I held it together instead of bawling about the car breaking down, the cat scratching me to death, the cat running away and hiding under the Col. car while I crawled under it with a can of tuna...I was showing my appreciation. Every time I paid off a bill instead of going to the spa with our added income...I was showing my appreciation. Oh, and all the times I leave my friends and family behind to follow you...I am being appreciative of the love you show me and the job you do. So every day is MMAD...get over it!"
So we went shopping for a dress. Poor guy. I don't do massive crowds with teenagers and Forever 21 was my personal hell. I had to leave. Despite the deals. Despite the cute clothes. I couldn't handle it. So I got his cute dress at Ann Taylor Loft.
Then he took me out for drinks at Elephant Bar, then to a friends house for a little shindig. Oh, did I mention he took me to breakfast? Even more importantly, when the dog pooped on our walk...he didn't make me pick it up since it was MSAD. Ok...a bit of randomness for you this beautiful Monday.
Tomorrow...Ode to the Corps (or not!)

Cute dress! I just picked up a few things at the Loft a week ago..looks like I may need to go back!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh about the dog poop thing! Can't wait to see your before and after!
ReplyDeleteLove this post! You always make me laugh!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute dress! I can't handle the crowds at Forever 21 either so I always just order off line from them! I got a top in the mail from them today actually lol!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I sooooooo don't do crowds either. They irritate me to no end. bleech.
ReplyDeleteCute dress and yay for appreciation! :)
Adorable dress and talk about some royal treatment!! Nicely done, Mr Marine!
ReplyDeleteCrowds are the reason I loath Wally World (AKA Wal-Mart). Too many people just oblivious to what is going on around them... quite annoying!
ReplyDeleteHappy MSAD! :) I think that all military wives are amazing for what they do and what they go through. Congrats! Oh and adorable dress, by the way!
ReplyDeleteOh soul-sister. I feel the same way about 21! Plus, I bought a shirt there one time for $25, washed it once and it fell apart. I'd rather spend a little more money on clothes that I can wear more than once.
ReplyDeleteI love that dress!! Ann Taylor Loft usually has cute finds, they just opened an AT Loft Outlet in Round Rock, I need to go check it out!
