My Only Flaw

I'm sitting here listening to some praise and worship music on Pandora, trying to block out the barking symphony my dogs have created with the neighborhood dogs outside. I refuse to bring them in if they're barking at nothing aside from boredom so in go the ear phones and out with the stress those furry friends of mine bring. I can't wait to get to some warmer weather so that every time I take them on a walk, I don't have to get walked in the process...they always seem to pull me along the ice instead of the other way around. Enough about them. Let's talk about me...

It is my blog after all. The other day, Mama M. suggested I give proof of my freakishly tall toe. I decided I've already told you about it so I don't have much to hide now, but please don't be alarmed. I swear I don't have fingers for toes--it just might look that way to you. Are you ready for this?

There it is. There you have it- my only flaw. Ha! I kid, I kid. And now for something else weird-

Need a cheap costume? Be Cindy Lou Who! I am. Captain J and I are trying to save money this year so I didn't have the time or the moolah to spend on various parts of the costume idea I coveted. I'll save that for next year! ;) Instead, I got a styrofoam cone, floral wire, and a pretty pink bow and called it a day. I already had some pjs that were pink so I threw those on and fixed my hair around the props I bought. I'm sure I'll put much more effort into this costume on Halloween, but this is the trial run photo (I just re-read that and realized how dorky I am).

Moving on...

I've been searching for housing at our new duty station and I'm getting excited. I regret that I'll be leaving all the friends I've made here, but I look forward to being within driving distance of my old ones! I am elated that I'll be able to actually decorate for Christmas this year instead of only breaking out the charlie brown tree of last year. When I was in college, my condo had three large trees and two small ones so to say that I miss decorating is a bit of an understatement.

We don't have many must haves on our list for our new home aside from a fenced in yard. We really need that! Otherwise, we're pretty open. On one hand, it's exciting to be able to start over. On the other, it makes me feel all icky thinking of all the stuff that has to be done. I'll keep you posted on these developments, but I can tell you that our orders have arrived and we'll be saying goodbye to Alaska in less than a month. Goodbye Alaska, Hello Georgia. Am I ready for that? I know our poor Alaskan huskies won't know what hit em...
