Too damn hot and super fleas

I am sick of the heat. It is just too hot here. . . way hotter than it was in Savannah. Apparently the heat and everything else here has made the local fleas damn near invincible. We are currently treating Chloe (lab/pit mix) for fleas b/c she is allergic to them. . . she's quite pitiful but is doing better. We keep flea treatment on our furbabies and we bath the dogs every month but apparently these Cajun fleas are tough to kill. Just one more reason I hate this place.

Seriously, Ft. Richardson is looking like a great option right now.

Our 4th of July

Can I just say that although I was dreading the whole "hanging out at the lake with soldiers" plan, I actually had a great time! Soldiers+alcohol+fireworks=crazy times :-p My hubby along with his friend Bobby made 2 bombs out of the fireworks and set them off in the sandy area next to where we were. The first one was made in a plastic water bottle and it made some pretty fireworks. For the next one, they stepped it up a notch and filled a Corona bottle with fireworks powder. . . that was one loud freaking blast!!! After it exploded, they came back up the hill for beer and to light more fireworks. All of a sudden LH (another soldier) starts saying "fire, there's a fire!" Our boys had started quite a fire out there; thankfully there were plenty of them who knew what to do and we did NOT burn down the forest :-) There were alot of other people out there shooting fireworks so we had quite a nice display. After we left the lake we went to LH's place on post and hung out with him, another soldier and Mary, a fellow Army wife. All in all it was a very good night.

Need to move from this place

I realized today, while watching What Not to Wear, that I seriously don't care about clothes any more. . . . and that is not a good thing. I wear scrubs to work and workout clothes on the weekend (b/c we have been going to the gym). We rarely go out and when we do, who cares if you have cute fashionable clothes when everyone does their clothes shopping at WalMart? I haven't shopped for clothes since we've been here b/c there's not a damn store worth anything within an hour and a hlaf of this hell hole. I'm gonna need Stacey and Clinton when we move b/c I won't have a clue how to dress cute by the time we get out of here.

We have seriously got to get out of this place. I can't take it.
