Happy Thursday!
Yes, I am late getting this thread started. I didn't actually get to sleep late today, but at least I didn't have to get right out of bed. I want to try to cut back on the of the sleep meds that I take so I only took a half of one pill instead of a whole pill, and it didn't work out so well. I think I slept pretty good until about 1am, then it was tossing and turning until 4 am, then it was straight up awake. I listened to a podcast about the Kennedy Assassination for a while, which was interesting.
BTW-- if anyone is up before me-- please feel free to start this thread. It doesn't "belong" to me, but to all of us.
Yesterday was another one of those days....smh....Did a lot but seems like nothing really got done. Then Scott's car is leaking oil. Thankfully we noticed it beofre he drove down to his GF's because he would have never made it. Gary drove him down since I was already in the middle of cooking dinner which was one of those long-prep ones he wouldn't be able to do. But it was good b/c he got to see Scott's gf's mom who has been wanting him to check out some of her husband's tools and wood (he passed away a few years ago).
So today it is off to bring Scott's car to the shop and hope it is nothing major. Then bring Cait to her boyfriend who is not her boyfriend. They both like each other, they are inseperable, he has asked her out countless times, but she is freaked out by the words boyfriend-girlfriend. The last two boys she went out with, she is the one that broke up with them and she doesn't want to do that to this one, but she is freaked out by the alternative of never breaking up with him. So they are in this state of limbo. The joys of teenagers!!!!

Ugh, I have to post this before I lose it. Catzilla is all over me.....

But today is a chill day so I have plenty of time to visit. It has been an interesting week. Fayetteville puts on a "Heroes Homecoming" each year. We are home to one of the largest units in the Army, the 82nd Airborne Brigade, and so a lot of stuff happens here because we have had so many soldiers and history come out of this post. So, the point of the Heroes Homecoming is really cool. Back in the days of Vietnam and Korea the soldiers came home to a lot of ugliness and if they were lucky just simply no real homecoming at all. These days they could go to Kuwait (a resort of a deployment) and get a huge homecoming. So some people got together and put together this event each year and we are on year 3. I believe last year was focused on Vietnam and this year is Korea. Well, I hired a girl to do some marketing for me and get me set up at events and she set this one up for me and I am sooooo excited to be a part of it. The business opportunity is fantastic but to be a part of something like this is just cool...UNFORTUNATELY...I am going to Seattle Saturday morning so won't be able to truly be a part of it. AND I have to get everything set up while working all week also. So, it is going to be interesting to say the least. There are 3 events we will be a part of over the weekend. Tomorrow evening I will work with my husband and kids for a candlelight vigil at the Airborne Museum and Veterans park where everything is taking place. I'm excited to be able to do that as a family. I keep trying to think of something my family can do for the vets but I've got nothing. I wanted my husband and another friend who is in the Air Force to wear their uniforms and be friendly to the customers, especially those wearing Veterans garb...but it is borderline illegal. I just want to show my thanks to them but using the uniform in anyway to profit a business is against the military rules. I just want to do it to show appreciation but I know my husband isn't all about wearing his uniform outside of work...EVER. Such a brat. I guess on Sunday there is a meet and greet with the stars of MASH. On top of getting ready for that the refrigerator in the stand broke. It's gonna be a giant pain to get a new one...but it'll get figured out.
