Shooting a Barrel with the Cat

I know I posted this video on my FB about a week ago, but I feel like it's appropriate again.

This is how I feel about moving.  I'm totally confused all the time.  "I have the cake, then I put the cake in a barrel, then I shoot it, then I eat it?   Those are two steps additional I do not need."


 I feel like I'm pounding my head against a wall.  Mine and John's letters keep getting crossed, he says one thing, and I don't know if he's responding to something I said or if he's just blabbing because he never answers any of my question.  I was supposed to get a POA sent to me, which I never did, but it wouldn't do me any good anyways, because it's 2 weeks from graduation and he still doesn't have official orders.   The AKO website is always crapping out on me and I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall.  I would like to go drown myself in that guys barrel of fish and cake.


Also, the Tigers are doing HORRIBLE!  AWFUL. AWFUL.  The Lions are kicking ass and State vs UofM is this weekend...which is awesome if you like football, but I don't. 

My last day of work is tomorrow.  Kinda of sad, but it just means we're one more step to John's graduation and moving to Texas!  Just hope we get to go there together.  Since I'm leaving my job now, I need to get to Texas ASAP to transfer over my cosmetology license to TX, but I can't do that until I have a residence here, but I can't continue to work here, pack up a house, get everything ready, and go to graduation and come home and spend time with John, because there is no way I'm going to work when he's home since I haven't seen him, talked to him, or spent quality time with him in months besides a measly 36 hours.  Plus I used up all my vacation time for our wedding and honeymoon....so I'm stuck, and I hate being stuck....

In other news: 

I have an awesome Halloween/Welcome Home/See Ya Later party planned for John on the night he comes home!  I'm sure he'll be pleased....get off the plane, go to party!  Oh well, he's gonna love it.  I'm going this week or early next to put in an order for an Army themed cake, I even bought cheesey little Army Men and a toy helicopter to put on it.  I can't wait to have him back home!  I'm getting so excited.  I feel like he's been gone FOREVER! Only 2 more weeks, I just hope the time flies by!


But it won't...because this is what I have to deal with....

 

She only looks innocent

 Death Glare.

And now...I'm going to groom myself, all over your stuff.

Oh this is such a fun adventure.

It's Almost Graduation!

 

 Yay!  It's John's picture :o)  Got these in the mail the other day.  I will be sending out some copies to family and such ASAP, which is probably going to be this Friday since it's my first day off work in 9 days!  Wee!  Yay for keeping in busy!  I'm so excited to get to down to Georgia again, but the best part is, John gets to come home with me!!  We're currently working on getting all of this moving stuff situated.  I tried to explain it to my mom, but I just gave her a headache, so I'll spare everyone the details, and just let everyone know that it's a giant pain in the butt.  

But instead of thinking about  mountains of paperwork, stacks of boxes and tons of packing tape, and how horrible I am at using a tape gun, I've decided to compile a list of "10 Reasons I'm excited for John to Graduate" 

So here we go:

1.  When we fly out of Detroit to get to Georgia, there's a Popeye's in the Delta terminal.  I have not had Popeye's in like 3 years, they're in the scary area of Detroit...I don't go there. 

2.  I don't have to scoop the cats poop box anymore!  

3.  I won't have to have 8572827343 blankets on the bed anymore.  John is human furnace.

4.  I have an excuse to make cheesecake.  Oreo crust, with Snicker Filling and Peanut Butter and Chocolate Ganache.  Swoon.  There goes the 10 pounds I've lost since John's been gone. 

5.  I won't have to go to Post Office for stamps anymore.  

6.  The mail lady probably won't be scared to drop mail off anymore.

7.  In the last 4 months, I will have spent over 12 hours at the Atlanta Airport.  I hate airports.  Love planes. Hate Airports.  

8. I will finally have my Dancing with the Stars buddy back!  

9. I get to throw a party!

10.  I can finally have someone besides the cat to talk to! 

In all seriousness though, I'm so glad John will be home again.  It's a shame he'll miss baseball post season, especially since the Tigers are in the playoffs, and now I don't have anyone to accidentally beat up while I'm flailing and watching the games. It will be great to have him back home, and hopefully if everything goes okay, we'll be moving to Texas together at the end of his break...and if not, I'll be down there hopefully a few weeks after.  At least after October 28th, I will be able to talk to John when I want for how long I want, and not have to write anymore letters, I'm running out of pens and paper, and John's address is really long, and for the 4385743854 letters that I have sent, I still haven't memorized the address. 

16 days until Georgia!
