Memorial Day

Today I went with Chris to a ceremony for Memorial Day, he had to do at Fort Monroe. Although it was hot, it was great! No, it was awesome! I was so impressed and very proud of Chris! Here is some pics first. He is at the far cannon at the end. Couldn't get real close. :(

Here is a pic of the SGM congratulating them on a job well done!

Here is a video of the cannons going off and a bit of Taps being played. My camera batteries were dying so it got cut off at the end!

I only jumped the first 2 times the cannon went off. LOL

Here is the last picture of him. I love when he is in his Dress Greens! Once again, I am so very proud of him!

Wii Fit

Well, my friend, G, texted me from Target to let me know that they had 2 Wii Fits! Woooohooo! I've been trying to find one without ordering it online and paying the shipping charges. So, I jumped in the shower, ran out the door and bought one of them! Of course as soon as I got home I had to set it up and try it. Holy cow, it kicked my butt!! I sweated my butt off! I do love it though! It is great! I am going to try and do it everyday, so this will be a step in the right direction in trying to lose weight. Wish me luck! I highly recommend it to anyone just after one try! Now I just need to talk my friend G into maybe going to the park 1-2 times a week and take a walk! (Hint, hint LOL) I know she will read this, so i was going to getting around to asking you! LOL That is about it, nothing new to update on! I lead a very boring life as you all can tell!

Funny!

Okay so it has been awhile since I posted anything, haven't really had anything to post! I have a kind of funny story to tell that happened to me last night! My friend and her family had to go out of town for a family emergency. (not funny, keeping them in my prayers) Me being me, offered to watch her house and get her mail. I'm handy to have around in a emergency! :) So, last night I went to her house to check her mail. I got the mail, unlocked her door and as I stepped into her house I heard voices! I think to myself, "Just freaking fracking great they are getting robbed on my first night of this!" (the night they left I had jokily said, "I promise not to rob ya while your gone," talk about karma coming back to bite ya in the butt) I got my cell phone ready to call 911, but then I listened and realized it was a TV or radio on. Then I think to myself, "Who is here?" Nobody should have been in that house! So, I put the mail down, but still keep my cell phone ready. I walk down the hall and realize they had left their son's radio on! Whew! What a relief! Of course all the while feeling like an idiot! Then it took me several minutes to figure out how to turn the radio off!

Moral of the story: If you need to go out of town and have someone watch your house, try to turn off everything so that the person who is watching doesn't get freaked out! LOL

2nd Moral of the story: Watch what you joke about because it can come back to bite ya in the butt!! It's called karma! LOL
