After much consternation and thinking and constipation and headache and nerves and this visceral pull to DO IT ... I've moved the blog. I can now be found at Crazy Randomly Beautiful. I am still me ... just no longer under my 'blognommer'. It's me as me. Gin. So the crazy stories are still the same and the Husband is still the husband and we are still a milcouple in Germany with the Mother-in-Law and cat in tow ... I just think it is a better fit. The archives moved with me. So please come visit! Click Here, click above or click the pretty photo below!

when did this happen
When we left the states for Germany they were fresh faced mouthy youngsters. Somehow they've morphed into teens in the past 12 months when I wasn't within arms reach of them. Thanks Twin! I thought you promised your boys would never grow up!

some of what I've been up too lately
Soaking my foot twice daily for the umpteenth post sliver-of-ingrown-toe-removal. Such a messy little thing.
Whipping out some new cute hair bits for friends. I was inspired by one my friend wore and needed a fun little summer style project.
Shopping shopping and more shopping. My job is never done, literally. Coworker Mark found these awesome size 16's for a patient with smallish feet. Please note how much bigger than my HEAD they are. I've always wanted shoes that made my head look slimmer! No one likes a fat head!

my friends had to shave their pussy
Poor poor pussy. [Lest you assume animal cruelty: the vet did it after all her long hair got too matted to comb. Just another reason why my short haired indoor cat stays indoors.]

weekend-venture: idar-oberstein
This little tidbit struck by attention online when deciding a nearby village to explore as a sendoff to our dear friend AJ prior to his Germany abandonment wife reunion after 3 years of training and overseas tours.
It really was soo much cooler in real life.
And had some cool surprises in the hills ... like the castle by the pink arrow and the previously shown chapel, built like a Tolkien creation from the side of a rock face.
We did find some cool characters along our way.
So these we may have brought along with us ...
(Help I'm stuck in a cage! Oooh I shall SQUISH him. Look who found the chamber pot! Honey watch your head! AJ Is so strong ... he's shouldering a castle! Oh look who was just hanging out in a window! And Who goes there?)
I'm still fairly pointed about how much this reminds me of the Ben Franklin pipe in National Treasure. Anyone else?
The view from where we were walking from ... towards the view we would be seeing.
Smile!
Smile again!
Totally worth the gazillion stair/ramp/hill climb.

never thought I'd say these words
Edit: Had to get up at 3a to pound some more drugs and drinks but overall a hair better than the night previously.
Hall's cherry cough drops were one of the best inventions ever! I normally abhor the things and will opt with vitamin C drops if at all possible. Tonight after doses of Sudafed, DayQuil, lemon water, chicken soup and hot tea ... I still needed more. The husband brought me cough drops and cherry light Gatorade. A god among men that one. Between the coating of drink and soothing menthol of drop I may actually get some sleep tonight.
I love that man. He's seen the vomiting, dental work, bronchial nastiness and still
comes back for more. That's true love. The hard work between the happy. What a trooper. (Lets see how he handles his mother sick and his wife on crutches and a cast for 6 weeks at the same time.)

ain't all its cracked up to be
I have somehow contracted the plague. Okay, that may sound a little overdramatic. Next I will have you thinking that I'm licking leprousy patients and tickling the chicken pox kids. I actually managed to catch mom's bronchial disease she's been sporting upstairs for the last few weeks. And boy does it rock.
Not so much.
It feels like an invisible hand is constantly choking the middle of my throat while simultaneously pulsing. Compound the flaming heat down my neck with sinus pressure across the face and you have my issues. This little mess, along with my fractured voice, has been toying with me for almost a week. With the biggest flare being over the last few days.
Two people didn't recognize me on the phone today. First, my girl Faith who called on the phone in the wee hours. Um friend? Is this really you? And 7 hours later my dear sweet husband. Honey? You sound like crap! Well thanks babe! That's EXACTLY what I was going for!
Aren't ya'll glad I could drag myself to the puter and blog about it! In all fairness I needed to distract myself while my hubby monopolized my entertainment aka the only tv in the living room, so he could do his crazy stupid Insanity workout. There's a reason they call it that.
Ooh and lest I forget. Best part of this disease?
Honey what's 6 times 28?
I don't know. More than 28? I'm blogging here. Check your own damn heart rate.
Sorry, that's my sick attitude talking. It's [coughgag] 168
Anyhoo, the best part is the coughgagpee reflex. Everytime I feel like I need to cough the choking sensation gets tighter, and I driveheave gagcough with a little pee. It's freaking awesome. Come a little closer and I will share it with you.
