Deployment is looming

Like the tall shadowy figure that hung out in your childhood closet Deployment is looming... its the stuff of nightmares...and well I cant go on for fear of the trauma. Actually deployment isnt that bad, it really isnt for the one at home at least. yeah it gets lonely, at night especially, and 6 months plus being the only parent at home is completely draining but you find friends, you pick up new hobbies, and you get yourself busy...I swear the busier you are the faster the deployment goes by. Last night we had a predeployment brief. For you non military people thats a meeting with the command for married Sailors, and what ever wives decide to show up. It was entirely way too long and it was boring,yup wicked boring. I am glad I went though, you know playing the whole "supportive good little wife" is a good thing. But more importantly it has made one thing very clear, deployment IS coming, well maybe. If you didnt already know.... /center> Thanks Oprah, sit back down. So what does this mean? Well it can mean everything or nothing, it means he MIGHT deploy as scheduled, it MIGHT be delayed, it MIGHT be cancelled all together (doing what I like to call "pulling a Truman ;) ) or they even MIGHT go out on time but come back late. Its fun... yeah hurry up & wait has taken a whole new meaning.

June Cleaver can kiss my....

Yes I said it! June Cleaver kiss my neon white, fat rear end. I hate you and the false ideals you make me want to live up to! I try to keep my house as clean as you do but you know what I have a real family and you didnt have facebook. Or pinterest. In other words you had no freaken life ;) Another reason I hate you oh unattainable one... I went ahead and I made what sounded like a great dinner... Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Pasta... sounds great right? I mean one reviewer said it "tasted exactly like chicken wings"... she lied. I love chicken wings and who doesnt like cheese? And if you dont like pasta then get your Commie butt back to the mother land... this is 'Merica we eat our carbs here and LIKE IT. Well it tasted like none of those amazing things... it tasted awful. Even my husband, who eats EVERYTHING, barely scarfed down one bowl. :/ I cried a little...I'll admit it I cried. I made dinner, rather then call it in like I really wanted to, and it tastes awful. My son had a hot dog and my daughter had ham and cheese...as for mom... its tagalongs for me with facebook and pinterest while I ignore the mess calling for my attention.

Seriously I need to stop being lame

So I really do need to come in here more often. I dont think there is really anyone who notices but maybe someday someone will wander in here and be amused ;) Since the last time I have been here I have had a crisis of faith followed by an incomplete conversion. I have officially left the Catholic Church in search of something more accepting and will allow me to grow spiritually. Which is all a pretty way of saying I became sick of being told for 40 days God cared if I ate a cheeseburger on Friday and that a man in a dress with a FABULOUS hat was telling me that my best friend was going to burn in hell because he loved another man. So I have found a home within the local Unitarian Universalist Church and I have found a great group of people to hang with. A lot of them are Vegan and Vegetarian and well we all know its not a Church function without a potluck, so we have been trying a LOT of different foods. I have actually found that being a Vegan or a Vegetarian isnt as scary or hard as I once thought. My husband, however, does not share my new found appreciation for Vegan and Vegetarian cuisine. I am currently making a post about a weight watchers cookie recipe that my friend at the Vegan Virtuoso (http://theveganvirtuoso.wordpress.com/) vegan-ified for me, and lemme tell you they are AMAZING!!!! Oh new batch is out of the oven SQUEE!!!!
