Like my new header?

So, what do ya'll think about it? Take a few moments to discuss....

I think it totally rocks, and thus would like to thank my friend over at: The Undomestic Army Wife! A few weeks ago, she became a new follower of mine and I checked out her blog- being the nosey little thing that I am. Well guess what? Her blog rocks, and she offered to do a header for my blog! So, I sent some photos of us and this is her final result! I am amazed at her dedication in completing this for me, since it is summer time and she has a crazy house full of people and kiddoes coming and going! I highly suggest that you check out her blog and perhaps she'd be able to help you 'spruce' up your blog. In other news, Mr. Top Gun and I are heading up to visit my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin to say goodbye to them before we leave for Japan, and to see my Aunt D. one last time for lunch before she starts her chemo on Monday. Please keep her in your prayers during this trying time.

I am going to attempt to post on Monday and Tuesday, but if ya'll notice I am MIA for awhile it's because they come to pack us all up on Monday and finish up Tuesday! Then we shall be crashing at my Nana and Grandpas house until we leave.

Dear Human Body

Dear Human Body,

Please stop with this business of being sick. It seems that you may have forgotten my current situation of being in the middle of a HUGE ASS overseas PCS, and if this is your idea of a little game- please stop now. I do not have the time to deal with these body aches, nausea, fever, chills, sneezing and general all over crappy feeling. Do you know how difficult it is to attempt to pack a suitcase when I feel like keeling over and dying on the carpet? You have caused me TWO DAYS of being out of whack already, and a third day is not an option, understood? Also, I would like to know this: Where the hell are you white blood cells? Have you forgotten your job? Clearly, you have and I would appreciate if you would please stop being lazy and man up! I would like to return to my life and finish this PCS crap, so I can enjoy this last week with my family.

Also, I would like to ask you this: Who the hell gets a mild case of the flu in the middle of the summer?

Sincerely,

Mrs. Top Gun

PCS induced schizophrenia, and Mr. Top Gun gets his feet done...

Does PCS'ing make you crazy? It there such a thing as PCS induced schizophrenia? Well, if so- guess what? The Top Gun's have this disease, and judging by the photos shown below I think we both need to be committed. Thanks for the craziness, Air Force! I totally LOVE you right now. Where are my medicines at? Seriously, at this point I don't think our lives could possibly get any crazier or crappy, and if so then feel free to just throw ANYTHING else you may have in store my way- I'm ready, waiting, and will deal with it (in my high heels, of course.)

Anyways, the other evening Mr. Top Gun and I were watching t.v. and I asked him if I could draw on him. Yes, like give him a tattoo or two... See, Mrs. Top Gun has two tattoos and that makes me the 'naughty girl' in Mr. Top Gun's eyes. He has none, and never will, so me drawing on him with a sharpie is as close to 'getting inked' that he shall ever get. He looked at me like I was a space cadet, and then agreed to let me 'ink' him up! On his feet only though... I asked why, and he says: "No one can see my feet in my flight boots. Besides how gay would it be if I had to get a physical or something, and all of a sudden I bend over and the guys see my lower back tattoo drawn by you." First, when does a pop up flight physical occur? It's not time for him to get one, so I figured he would let me ink his lower back. Nope. Oh well, I got his feet!

See, Mr. Top Gun really does LOVE TEXAS!

I drew a star on his left foot with a silver sharpie marker. His big toe got a smiley face! I later learned that silver sharpie marker is HARD as HECK to remove, so Mr. Top Gun walked around with silly looking feet for a few days.

These photos are proof that PCS'ing does make you crazy. So, for those of you that have made the BIG MOVE (overseas or not) what crazy thing (s) did you do? I would like to hope I am not actually going insane!

Thirsty Thursday!

Chocolate Raspberry Frappe

Ingredients:

*1 cup vanilla yogurt or ice cream (if you want to indulge!)

*1 cup milk

*1 cup raspberries, add to taste and to garnish

*1/4 cup chocolate syrup

*Blend until smooth and serve immediately. I like to add a chocolate wafer cookie to the side, or even a few pieces of Hershey's Chocolate squares or Kit Kats!

Attack of the Snuggies!

You know those annoying and douchie commercials you see on t.v. for the infamous "Snuggie?" Well, the Top Gun's have officially joined the ranks of those who dared to wear the snuggie. Back in January, my Mom informed us that she had ordered everyone in the family their very own snuggie, but that because they were so popular we wouldn't get them for a few months. And then my Mom showed up one day with our surprises. Mr. Top Gun got a blue one and I got the red one. We decided to visit my Nana and Grandpa and show them off at their house (which is where we are in the pictures,) and the minute we put them on my cat goes zonkers! Apparently, Zeus Baron DOES NOT LIKE SNUGGIES. I have never seen him run so fast in all the time we've had him. I think when we walked towards him, he saw us as floating ghost like creatures. Seriously, those things are HUGE and mine swallowed me up! Mr. Top Gun likes his snuggie and actually uses it, and my Dad loves his- he wears it around the house.

A note of caution from Mrs. Top Gun's Dad: "Don't wear your snuggie when you are trying to walk up the stairs with ice cream in your hand."

"Why not Dad?"

Mrs. Top Gun's Dad: "Because you can't hold the ice cream and hold the bottom of the snuggie at the same time. You HAVE TO HOLD THE BOTTOM OF THE SNUGGIE OR YOU WILL FALL. I almost fell down the stairs and died- with ice cream in my hand."

We are officially idiots. No, I don't wear mine. My cat sleeps on it.

"Want to join my cult?"

See, I told you Mr. Top Gun LOVES HIS!

Thank you Mom, for these awesome robes that you wear backward.

What Mr. Top Gun really does...

I have days when I have questioned as to whether or not Mr. Top Gun is really 'working' when he leaves for the base, due to the fact that leaving the house in full flight suit and with flight bag in hand- yet returning a mere 20 minutes later... Hmm... what are they really doing on the flight line? I finally found the answer, and this picture says it all! *THANKS to BLACK HAT IN THE CORNER* She e-mailed this to me earlier today, so she totally rocks!

Sushi, Sake and Silliness

Hey, It's me! Please excuse the hat and pigtails, and basically excuse the way I look in this picture. I hate taking pictures, and today was a combination of me crying and freaking out about the move coming up, but as usual Mr. Top Gun calmed me down, and what better way to calm Mrs. Top Gun down? With a dinner date to our favorite sushi place! *Note* That IS NOT a martini I am holding... Ok, it WAS one! I had the Cucumber, Stoli Vodka, and Sake martini, and for the record it was phenomenal. Mr. Top Gun thought it was funny to see me get a little 'loopy' off of one little drink, but I don't drink often and neither does he so it was a well enjoyed and much needed night out. The dish in front of me is called "Japanese Pickles Musubi," and it is squares of sushi rice which are lightly dressed in sesame oil and then they add the japanese pickles. These are sooo good, and this is my all time favorite appetizer to get when we go there.

Mr. Top Gun opted out of the photo shot- BOO on him. He had the Beef Yakitori and a glass of water. So, I was the silly martini drinking one tonight and it was fun!

This is called the "Diamond Roll." Spicy, but so delicious!

The Jen Roll. I love the Wasabi sauce underneath! It has Tuna, Escolar and Salmon and the inside has crab, avocado, chives and cream cheese.
