I Have Returned. Again.

I'm back.

I have Internet service again.

It came at a perfect time. I felt like I was going to have to walk around with my pink laptop begging for WiFi. The TLF (temporary living facility or basically a hotel room for you non-military folks) had no WiFi either place.

Now we're in a house in Oklahoma unpacking. I hate unpacking. And figuring out how I want my house designed. Now I know why people hire interior designers. Only I can't afford an interior designer so I'm just winging it and hoping my home doesn't look like a Hoarder home.

It's my birthday today. I share it with Father's Day so this means I can't say something like, "But it's my birthday. I insist." Because then Tom can be like, "It's Father's Day. I also insist."

Tom leaves tomorrow for Korea. At least he'll be back for good in August. Still, I'm a little wary being in a new place. I'm awful with directions so I hope I don't end up in the middle of Oklahoma. I do have a GPS but there have been times where its led me to an apartment complex and not the destination I wanted.

Anyway.

I just wanted to pop in and say hello. I've missed the Blog World. I've had all sorts of things I wanted to write. Eventually I'll post pictures of the new house. Granted, we only have half of stuff here. The other half sits in a warehouse in Wyoming.

I'll write about that sometime next week.

For now I better head off. We're checking out the nearby mall and eating at The Cheesecake Factory.

Have I mentioned their White Chili is amazing? If you ever go, get their White Chili.

And cheesecake, of course.

  7. Glad you're back!

    I don't really trust a GPS, either. It's nice for getting you nearby where you want to be, but I've had it try to veer me off a cliff or into someone's yard more than once.

  11. Happy Birthday dear and glad you made it safely.
    Oh my goodness!! The Cheesecake Factory is like heaven on earth. David took me to one in San Antonio and I thought I would just die. They have an Oriental salad that is to die for. I wasn't able to finish it cause it was humongous. But that place is great.

  14. Yay for being back, and boo for unpacking. I have always hated unpacking...but I try to trick myself by thinking it is a good opportunity to get organized. Of course that might actually work if I actually did get organized. lol

  19. YAY! I'm glad you are getting settled. Happy Birthday... mine is this month too and I celebrate all month long and that totally trumps Father's Day :) But I guess since he is heading back to Korea...

  21. Happy Birthday! Being in a new place is stressful, but try to enjoy it...it's all blog fodder! And seriously, if you unpack something and can't find a place for it, toss it out. That will make room for buying new stuff. Oh, and enjoy that white chili and cheesecake!

  22. It's always good to settle in. I hate moving. Can't imagine how tough it is to do it at the whim of the military.

    Happy Birthday!

    And, just at the time you get every thing where you want it and unpacked, Tom will be home safe and sound... and telling you where he wants it all. :)

  23. Welcome back! Missed reading you, can't wait to read all the stuff you've thought of. Happy birthday to you also! So sorry Tom goes back, but in under 2 months, he'll be home for good. Just keep thinking that and you'll be okay.

    Mmm... cheesecake!

  37. Congrats on the move! Can't wait to see the house. I don't trust my GPS either, instead of taking me to a meeting, it took me to the ball park. OK, so that would have been more fun, but I needed to be at the meeting! lol

    Enjoy getting settled in.
