Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Even Hitler Had Friends
****
What a day. My mind knows it's not all that late, but my
body is worn out like you wouldn't believe. It might as
well be 3am. Snookums has to report back to the ship
tonight (he's been staying at my dad's house, like he
always does when he's in port in San Diego) and after he
calls, I'm going to bed. I can't believe how much I packed
into one day.
I woke up this morning feeling VERY overwhelmed. The house
was in no shape for company in my mind. It wasn't all that
bad, but I was worried about it anyhow. I kept dwelling on
insignificant little things that most people wouldn't
notice (yes, it came down to those stupid baseboards).
Usually I don't care what people think, but I still wanted
to make a good first impression. Even though I'm a very
strong-willed, independent person, there's still that
basic human need to fit in somewhere. Don't let anyone
tell you otherwise. Everybody needs to feel like they
belong somewhere. Even Hitler had friends.
I busted my ass getting the house in the best possible
condition I could muster in a few hours. I was really
happy with the result. I don't think the place has looked
this good since we moved in. I even bought myself a dozen
white roses for the bedroom. The only thing I didn't do
was laundry. I hoped no one would go downstairs and
thankfully they didn't.
We all just sat around and talked. Myspace is nice and
all, but it was so much nicer just sitting around together
talking in person. We all share a huge part of our lives
in common. All of our husbands are in the Navy (which is a
way of life, not just an occupation). I'm glad I did it.
I'd do it again, too. My lasagna was a hit. A few even
want the recipe for it. I don't use a recipe, but luckily
I remember what I did, so I can write it down. I should
probably do that anyway for Annie. I always wished my mom
had let me in on her recipes, but she never did. Oh well.
I'll just have to change that for my kids.
I'm exhausted. I don't think I can even write a coherent
entry, my mind is all over the place. Ciao and goodnight.
