But seriously, other than this biting thing, she is a wonderful baby. She sleeps a lot, giggles a ton, smiles all the time, gives you kisses when you ask or even when you don't, and always wants to rib your eyes, nose, or mouth off your face for whatever reason. Seriously, she's a doll.
I had to work on thanksgiving but that's ok because I made out like a bandit with tips. My big guy got to call me in the morning before I went in which made me smile. And then he told me he would be coming home a couple weeks earlier which just made my day.
The next night I had a table with a brand spankin new marine at it. I'm talking charlies, scratchy voice, no eye contact, yes ma'm the whole shebang. He was on his 10 day leave and man was he skittish. Anyways, he was a darling to see but not at first. At first site I wanted to run and hide and give my table to anyone else. I teared up but managed to pull myself out of it. Thank the lord he was black because at least it wasn't one of those "OMG!! He's home to surprise me! Oh, no, my bad, someone else." moments. No I'm not racist just to make that clear.
Anyways, that was a fun little moment in my life. He's even heading to Jacksonville. Maybe I'll run into him again. HAHA. Yea right. I have a kid I went to high school with who's on Lejeune who I have never seen. That place is gargantuan.
I haven't heard back on that house yet. I guess the lady is supposed to be emailing me documents to docusign but I haven't gotten anything yet and it's been a couple days. I'm nervous that someone else will put in an application and get the house. But at the same time that makes me oddly relieved. I think it's like buying your wedding dress. You love it, but you don't want to be done shopping. You know what I'm talking about. And if you don't, you aren't married yet.
I am actually kind of having second thoughts on the house though. I love it. I think it's an incredibly charming home. I am just nervous that I went with the completely opposite side of the area. I'm talking east side of the base vs west side. Once in Hubert now out towards the air station. Our friends are in Hubert and I love Hubert, but I hated how long it took to get anywhere. Wilmington was across base just to get on the road. And Jacksonville was a good 15-20 minutes depending on the time of day. It's just a pain. So it has it's goods and bads I suppose. I'll take whether we get this house or not as a sign as to whether I made the right decision.
Let's see. What else can I mumble on about...OH, black friday shopping!!! Which I didn't attend. I don't like mornings and I hate crowds. But I do love deals and steals. Which is why I'm anxiously anticipating cyber monday!! I really want a kitchenaid stand mixer. Preferably THIS one. They are just so expensive!! But I have come to the conclusion that I just can't function properly in the kitchen without it therefore it is a dire necessity. I've left it up to my husband. I dangled the possibilities of endless treats for him to think about. He's a sucker for my cooking and he loves spoiling me so I know eventually I will get it. He knows I would never let him buy it if we didn't have the extra cash though. So key word eventually.
We've tossed a bunch of ideas around for things to buy while they are on sale but the fact is, I have to move and less is better.
Ok, this is getting ridiculous. Adios amigos. (I don't speak spanish. I don't like pressing 1 for english. But I love the saying adios amigos.)
