friday, i managed to travel all the way from florida to texas, by myself, in one piece. if you've ever met me, you'll understand what an amazing accomplishment this is. i got to go to the uso at the san antonio airport, which is really just a room with leather lazy boys and free bottled water. i took a shuttle to brooks city base, only to be told that i couldn't check into our room because i didn't have a military id, and that meant that i had to wait FIVE hours in the tiny lobby until dettah got out of class. for the first two hours, some creep told me all about how "everyone" cheats on their spouses here, and you can find people "doing it in the bushes all the time". ummm. he finally realized that i had completely tuned him out and left, only to be replaced by an indian man who skyped with his indian wife, which meant i had to listen to a lengthy, passionate conversation conducted entirely in indian for probably an hour. after that, he decided to alternate between indian techno and english 80's love songs from youtube, and sing along to every word. i had been up since 11:00am the previous day, the fox news channel was on, and i wanted to die. after forever and ever, i heard "baybay!" and saw my dettah! he looked and smelled sooo good. we walked over to our room and i made myself at home by dumping everything from my suitcase onto the floor. we had amazingamazingamazing sex and then he fell asleep :D i got ready and we walked off of the base to meet his roommate at a bar. he's a lot shorter and less black that i had pictured, mainly because he's actually a croatian with a southern accent. i think he's nice. we walked over to an italian restaurant with him and his girlfriend and talked about how my husband has no soul. we took a taxi back to the base so his roommate could change and while we were waiting, met some of dettah's other friends. one almost broke my hand when he shook it and probably also gave me aids since he cheats on his wife who he apparently used to go to swing parties with. hmmm. so his roommate came back and we went to the movies. we ended up seeing something about greek mythology and creatures and i keep wanting to call it remember the titans even though i know that's completely off. i have no idea what happened because we were too busy with making out and grabbing each other like we were 13. we took a taxi home and almost died because the driver was fucking insane. as soon as we got to our room, we had the kind of sex that ends in welts and bruises. sooo good :D. it was our first wedding anniversary, and that was the first night that i had been able to spend with him since february. it was the best gift ever. the next morning, we got up early and went to sea world!! for free!! i was pretty disappointed though, because it's not as nice as the one in orlando. we ate and walked around and only went on two rides. we love roller coasters and consider ourselves to be experts because of all of the theme parks we go to, so when we saw the sit down one (instead of the kind where your feet dangle), we were kind of bummed. the something eel ended up scaring me so badly that i cried. you don't feel secure and when a drop comes, you're almost certain that you're about to fly out of your seat, so you brace yourself, and then when you hit the bottom, your joints absorb the impact, making for an extremely painful experience. but! it was fun! after that, we went to get rainbow ice!!! dipndots and went to the shamu show. i must embarrass eric so badly because when the whales show up, i flip the fuck out. i start screaming and clapping and waving my arms and hands all over the place. and i hit him a million times asking if he just saw that?!!! seriously, i'm worse than a five year old. and this show featured a BABY whale, which just sent me into overdrive. i was hyperventilating the whole time and i'm pretty sure i suffered a small stroke by the end of it. whales are just so damn cute and i luff them with all my heart. we went over to the dolphin nursery and i felt like telling everyone there that it was really no big deal for us to be here, because we've actually swam with dolphins before, but secretly, i wanted to do cartwheels. after seaworld, we went to downtown and walked around riverwalk. we had dinner at hooters and learned that even if you're five months pregnant, you can still be a hooters girl, and better yet, disgusting drunk men will still hit on you. on the way out, this ugly, fat girl asked her boyfriend "i thought hooters girls were supposed to be tall and blond?" to which i replied "nope. they're just not supposed to look like you." eric even gave me a high five for it. we went back to the hotel and watched two seconds of snl, and dettah fell asleep mid-sentence. the next day, we had to check into a hotel off base and walked around downtown for a while, which isn't a good idea when you're wearing cute/unreasonable sandals to match your pretty dress. we went to the riverwalk and the mall and got babylove a pair of nikes. i kept telling him his shoes were cute, but would correct myself with "cool" cause guys don't want cute shoes! i spotted a sanrio store and almost fainted with all of the completely necessary hello kitty themed merchandise that was available. i wanted a wallet sooo badly, but couldn't decide on one, so i got a charm for my phone with a d for dettah. then we went to gap where i discovered that they still sell my dream perfume! amazing! we had chinese and talked about having a liddle girl and decorating her room and how she should be hello kitty for her first halloween. we took a taxi back to the hotel and watched a movie on the ridiculously enormous bed. then we had to go back to the base so he would be there for accountability, but we ended up arriving an hour early. we sat at a park bench, and he really needed to study and i was supposed to help, but i was distracted by the wind. we walked off base and went to a thai restaurant, where i got my delicious pad see ewe, which we discovered in tahoe. i'm so impressed that i can say i discovered something from somewhere that's not cape coral. we walked over to wait at starbucks for a cab and my stomach was in knots the whole time. i love the way he says goodbye to me because he hugs and kisses me so hard, but i hate the fact that it means our time together is over for another month. i went back to my hotel and had to put my purse and suitcase on the bed because it was so big and made me feel even lonelier. my connecting flight home started boarding two minutes before my first flight even landed, and the terminal was on the other side of the airport. what? trying to walk briskly with a suitcase when you have arthritis is pretty much impossible and will result in hyperventilation, and that combined with anemia means that i blacked out while trying to get on the plane. neat. it wasn't all bad though because i got to watch dexter the entire flight, but then i was sad because you could see the oil spill when we were flying over the gulf :[
and now i'm home and i'm lonely and i miss his smell more than anything.
i was going to go back on june 4th, but since he has a three day weekend may 28th, i get to see him then.
only twelve more days :D
