So I went back in for my body scan yesterday afternoon, and things had moved and the doctor was happy and I got to go home, happy. Then flutterby1 stopped by with pants for me to borrow so that I could wear them to the keel laying ceremony today, and we went and got Panara for dinner. It was good, and again I was happy.
So today was the keel laying for Joe's new boat. Traditionally a keel laying is the first peice of wood put down to build a boat, the keel, or back bone of the ship. From that the ribs, or frames, are attached. But in this day and age boat building, especially building subs is much different. Subs are modular, they come in 4 large peices that are then welded together. And the pieces are not really for us to see, so there was a huge sheet drapped over much of the section of the boat we were in front of, and we only saw one part, with the sheet covbering much of the area surrounding the piece as well. All us wives and "special" guests sat in chairs, while the men had to stand in formation at parade rest for 1 hour. All the ship yard workers and their families had to stand behind a rope. Now at the FRG meeting all us wives were told to dress "church casuel". One wife didn't listen and wore a black and white summer sundress loooooooooow cut with her boobies hanging out. Yeah, we were told "not to embarress the command." So her husband is probably going to get spoken to, and the acting president of the FRG told the captains wife about it, so she's probably going to get spoken to about it to. And then people dragged their itty bitties with them too. Poor kids.
I picked up Nina today, speaking of itty bitties. And she pretended she didnt know me. She wouldnt come near me, wouldnt let me hug her. Then my sister was like "Nina look at this picture, remember this is mommy." Then Nina warmed up. It really broke my heart that she wasnt as happy to see me as I was to see her.
So anyway, my family is back together, Im happy, but i have a headache so I'm going to lay down. Oh and I saw a pink VW BUG today. PINK!! Awsome.
