Nothing but the rain...
So many things have happened recently.
1) Mom's outta her cast! Yay! She's got a walking boot now and will be going back to work on Monday.
2) My sister's pre-deployment training was cancelled so she came out here to visit. She made it just before my brother walked the stage and left today after a lunch of lumpia. (Aren't I the best?)
2a) oh yeah, my brother graduated! Even after the truancy problems he had...go him! Even a Texas Scholar.
3) My hubby started his second of five classes. This one is all physical training, but he's been in class four days and at least one day has been black flag (meaning they can't train because it's too hot.) So, this class shouldn't be as hard as he thought. We should also get a follow-on assignment during this class. Right now the hot spots are Yuma AZ and Fallon NAS in Nevada. Either would be good, but I prefer Yuma. It's closer to home, close to Vegas (where beth is) and they have a Hastings. Okay that isn't really it, but Fallon has a town of 7000, Yuma has a town of 77000.
4) Ainsley was sick. Yesterday morning she woke up early and told me, "Mom, I cough and have diarrhea." I know that sounds gross, but she just threw up and didn't have a word to describe it. Once I explained that she threw up she told anyone who would listen. She's feeling better today but she's still in that whiny, I want mommy stage.
5) I think I've found a car...but who knows. How does everyone feel about the Saturn Vue? It's got a honda engine and transmission and it gets some of the best gas mileage I've seen for an SUV. We shall see.
6) We had a birthday party for my 9 year old sister. I ate a slice of pizza off a high school musical plate. I gotta tell ya, it's a little weird to see Zac Effron staring up at me with this dazzling smile while I eat. I might have had nightmares about those perfectly straight, white teeth.
I'm super excited that everything will be slowing to normal here. It should be a greater online presence for me, since I won't have as much to do during quiet time. I'll also be writing a bunch. While I was in Vegas I found some inspiration for a great original story. It's gonna be better than Twilight! (Not that it's hard to be better than Twilight.) ;)
Speaking of Twilight, I saw the preview for the movie and I think that it's safe to say the movie is going to surpass the book in coolness. Again, not that it's hard.

Battlestar Galactica: I OSOL'd (that's oh snap out loud...use it people, it's gonna catch on) because Tigh knocked up Caprica 6. My first thought was "Callie could be a final 5!" But then I dismissed it because that's just my wishful thinking. But it was pretty exciting to know that a final 5 isn't like a regular cylon because they got reproductive parts that work! So what is up with that? It got me thinking about what makes the final 5 different from the regular cylons and why are they different.
I'm not a big fan of Romo Lampkin. I know there are fan girls who squee, but I think he's nominal. Not that the actor is bad or anything, I just think it's a pointless recurring character and that he looks better with a bowler. Anyhoo, dead cats aside, I didn't really dig the story line and it was far too predictable that Lee would be left in charge of the whole place.
I did 'awwww' when Admiral Adama got in his little suit and pulled his book out to wait for his lady. If people were on the fence about the relationship there, they couldn't possibly be now. He lurves her. BTW, did anyone want a little more interaction than Lee standing next to Kara? Maybe an embrace as the Admiral pulled out?
Um, someone refresh my memory, who's with Roslin on the cylon base ship? Anders and Helo, yes? Because Kara seems pretty put together for someone whose husband -- or whatever the heck he is to her -- is presumably dead.
