The smell of road tar has gotten my attention lately. They are repaving our road and the smell is horrible. I also have not enjoyed the smell of the mosquito spray they are using in our neighborhood. I guess I’ll just have to live with it for now but I’ll be glad when it’s done.

When I was young, I would have been looking forward to such an opportunity. I am saddened that there are seemingly no kids around here that want the same chance.

John knows how to fix many things but doors and windows are not his specialty. I was glad to offer my services as I worked for a door and window company while in college. I now have a nice side job to work on in my spare time. I just hope I can remember how it all works.

The day was over though and we made a stop at the library, a mattress store, and went to eat. When we finally got home we were ready for a short nap which we took. I love lazy days like these.

For years I have complained that there was nothing on television. It seemed like everytime I sat down to watch there was nothing interesting on. Now that I upgraded to DirectStarTV, I can’t seem to get up off the couch. There is always something on that I’m interested in making it difficult for me to get my chores done. My wife says I’m worse than the kids. She has even threatened to restrict my tv viewing time if I don’t start pulling my weight around the house. I can’t say that I blame her. I can’t seem to help myself from checking the listings to see what’s on before I head outside to work in the yard or out to the garage. It never fails that I end up sitting down “just for a minute”. The next thing I know, the show is over, half an hour has passed and I’ve accomplished nothing! I’ve suggested that we should put a tv in the garage; maybe if I had one to watch out there I could at least get a few things done while watching tv. So far, she hasn’t taken to the idea but I’m still working on it!

The Army just told my husband that we will be moving to Fort Stewart in July. For once I am actually excited about our next duty station! Fort Stewart is located in Hinesville, which is less than an hour away from Savannah. My husband and I have vacationed there before, and we loved it. It’s a great city with lots of Southern charm. The people seemed nice, and the winters are mild. My plan it to try and live somewhere in between Hinesville and Savannah so that we can spend a lot of time there. It’ll probably also be much easier for me to find a job in Savannah, so I think that living in between the two places is our best bet. I’m so excited to move that I am already looking into homes for sale and ADT security georgia. My husband is so happy that I am finally satisfied with one of our assignments. For the last two years we have lived in upstate New York, and it is so cold up here that I am dying to get back down south!

My wife decided on Chinese the other night. While I do like Chinese food, I just wasn’t in the mood for it. I guess I shouldn’t complain though as I had my chance to pick what it was I wanted. This is a case of live and learn.

Luckily, I have the privilege of doing some shopping online when I get home. This always seems to relieve the tension that has built up all day. I like knowing that my money is well spent and bringing home the things we need provides me with a good feeling. Shopping on the internet can be fun.

These things in particular were a .45 caliber Thompson submachine gun and an 1897 12-guage Winchester shotgun. The guns were seized after the pair shot two officers and continued their escape efforts. The guns recently sold at auction for a whopping $210,000 dollars. I guess their legacy lives on.

Needless to say, I discovered the error in short order when I went to pay the bill. I retraced my steps and was very lucky to find the missing wallet. I don’t know what I would have done if I had actually lost it. My whole life is in my wallet and it would have taken many hours to replace all the cards inside. I must be more careful in the future.
