Please, no neighbors!

I think I gained 20 lbs in the last hour.

One of my co-workers and I went to the local county fair to get some lunch for the office. I came away with a meat pie and shared half a funnel cake (complete with powdered sugar and cinnamon). I am stuffed! It was all worth it though, especially the funnel cake.

How I love fair food.

I wanted to thank everyone on weighing in with their opinions on Sean and I's dishwasher debate. I'll have to share y'all's opinions with him, though I doubt it will sway him.

Yesterday, as I was decorating our house in the fall decor I purchased, Sean decides to drop this bomb on me.

"So X Couple are moving to North Fort"

Me: (Dropping the leaf strand I was holding) WHAT?!

Let me explain a little. X Couple are acquaintances of ours. The husband of X couple is a kind of friend of Sean's. I use the term friend loosely here. Even Sean has admitted in the last few weeks that he really doesn't enjoy hanging around with him anymore. Out of that family, their baby is my favorite. Does that tell you something? Anyway, X Couple are moving to North Fort (our section of Fort Polk) because their apartment complex in South Fort, is being torn down/renovated. The husband of X Couple actually asked Sean if we had a neighbor sharing our duplex because if not they wanted to move in. Do you know what kind of hell that would be? Let's put it this way. If they moved in beside us, I'm not sure I could survive the remaining two months I have here at Fort Polk. X Couple fight, argue and name-call in front of Sean and I, they are immature and honestly not the best parents. I get along with most people and I do make nice to them, but having X couple as my neighbors is something I really don't want to experience. EVER

I was playing around with Yearbook Yourself today and I think I found my favorite look.



How funny is that?

I have a couple of really good things to report. First of all, the baby pictures that I took a few weeks ago, well the parents of the baby I took those of want me to take more pictures and they said they want to pay me this time! Second good news is that Sean told me yesterday that his unit decided not to pursue trying to kick him out because of the failed PT test. As some of you know, that was a big concern of mine a few weeks ago. I'm not sure if it's because he's been doing so much better with running (although he hasn't taken another PT test) or if it was something else. At any rate I'm very glad and I know he's a lot less stressed. Looks like plans for Italy are moving right along! Yay!

I'm ready for the weekend, but it looks my only weekend plans at the moment are going to Shreveport with Sean on Saturday. I've heard there's a really good Greek restaurant there that I want to try. Working-out and finishing up my fall decorations is on the list of things to do. Not sure if the decorations will get worked on, but we'll see. I really wish I had a little more Martha Stewart creativity when it comes to decorating.

What are your weekend plans?

Edit: This is for you Megan! (Megan posted about a website where you can upload pics of you and your SO and it predicts what your baby will look like) I'm a little scared of mine.

Sorry I left you hanging on things to do in Shreveport. Hope you guys found lots of fun things to do. The river walk by the casinos is what I would have recommended there. There's a restaurant with an entire bar made of ice; even the taps for beer. All the fun bars are there. We ate at that greek place a few times. I just don't like greek food but people love that place.
