Ten on Tuesday

1. It's 10:00 p.m. and I'm up doing my Ten on Tuesday. How convenient!

2. I'm this late because I was at Auntie Daisy's house doing my laundry. Why don't I have my own washer and dryer at my house? Because I haven't made the time or dedicated the energy to go and look for one. That's why. Pure laziness! But I fully intend to go before the baby is born. I'm going to need them badly when she gets here. For the record, we do have a washer and dryer, but left them for the renters at our house in Colorado. Big mistake.

3. Speaking of the house being rented in Colorado, our property manager emailed me pictures of this nasty white mold looking stuff that has infested our back yard. Do I have any green thumb folks out there? Can you tell me what this stuff is? It's ruining our yard! Thankfully, I have a wonderful property manager and she's investingating the issue as we speak.

4. I have to get up early tomorrow for an 8:00 meeting at the University of Texas El Paso. I have to meet up with the ROTC folks over there just to scope out the area and get to know the staff there. My boss is going to be their guest speaker at next month's commissioning ceremony. I only mention this because UTEP just happens to be close to the place that I buy those magnificent strawberry, banana and Nutella-filled crepes I've mentioned a time or two on this blog. Yum! I may have to stop by.

5. My mom says I need to stop eating all this junk food, which should totally make me want to nix #4. But mom's not here...and, well, the baby wants it ;) She just wants me to stay healthy for the baby. But gosh, cravings are cravings sometimes and can't a girl just have a crepe? Mom, after the crepe, that's it. I'm back to fruits and veggies ONLY!

6. I mentioned yesterday that my friend, Chrissy, is coming this weekend. Have I cleaned this house yet? Umm...no.

7. It's official...I'm being put on orders to report to Stuttgart, Germany in January 2011. When I asked Malu about the assignment, he told me to jump on it. My assignments guy is helping me get Malu a job over there as well so that we can finally be together. I hope this works out. It would suck to have to be there by ourselves (the baby and I). But Malu said he'd get to me no matter what. I believe him. He has a way of making the most impossible things possible.

8. Stuttgart is in Southern Germany and here is the city website. I can't tell you how excited I am about going there! http://www.stuttgart-tourist.de/index_ENG.htm

9. My parents won't be too excited about this assignment. If they're reading this now, they're probably freaking out because I haven't called them with the news yet. Sorry mom and dad. And don't freak out...yet. We still have a while.

10. I've only completed and mailed out about a quarter of the Thank You notes for the baby shower. Forgive me folks! I'm working on it!

As always, I'm sleepy and totally ready for bed. This baby is kicking me right now and telling me she's ready too. Good night everyone!

P.S. OMG...my work Blackberry just went off. Who is emailing me at this hour? Why am I acting like this doesn't happen all the time? Love the Army, I tell you.
