Awwww, my husband is back in Illinois for a Corvette show.  The Navy gave him his precious few days off, and I am happily using the opportunity to clean the house.  No, I didn't go with him.


Here's another little interesting tidbit of military habits: Husbands and wives don't have to go on vacation together. 
Last year, I went home to Iowa (where my family is) for Christmas.  He didn't.  He couldn't get leave.  Now, I know some of you are saying, "Oh, what a heartless bitch, leaving him alone on Christmas!"  Gasp, Shock.  He spent the two years before that out to sea for Christmas.

So, besides cleaning, what am I doing with my time?  A blush is stealing over my cheeks as I type this....I've been playing "Vampires."  (see the pic at the bottom).  I have made fun of my husband and his friends for years, I will fully admit, for playing video games.  I've brought a book to the parties where everyone is playing "Rock Band" or whatever they call it.  But the other day, I decided to find out what all the fuss was about.  Well, it's four days later, and I'm on level 66.  And now, I really have to go, my "rage" meter just filled up and I have to go attack some vampires!

Oh, yeah, question of the day for ya'll:  Do you play any video games?   (maybe if I get some 'yes' answers I won't feel like such a geek!)
