tweekers

today i was productive. i actually slept at night! well, andrew called at about 4am... we talked for a while. he's still making his way home. i got a call today from a sgt and he verified the date and time he will arrive... so that made me happy!

i cleaned all day. so now i just have the kitchen to tidy up and the house is ready for him to come home to. we got a package in the mail from the mom in law, but i have to wait until he gets here. his wedding band also came in today. he didnt know his size so hopefully it fits! then around 5 taylor came and picked me up and we went into town to go to this special dance/exercise class. that was fun! got home around 8:30, and i am exhausted!!

we thought there was going to be some trouble with getting his parents here for the wedding, but it all worked out! i knew it would!! i'm excited.

there's a lizard in the house. everytime i go in the kitchen he scurries under the refrigerator. they're so different out here. they're... black. it's so weird. i know it's not going to hurt me, but i still dont like the fact that there is a critter running around in here. needless to say, it's hard to sleep. all i can imagine when i feel something touch me is looking over to find a lizard hanging out on my harm. i should name him. hmmm... i'll have to think of a good one.

it's funny that candace left a message on the last blog saying something about meth heads around here. my friend kath and i had a weird encounter with one when she was staying here. i was actually taking a shower and she was in the living room. of course this is seriously the one time i dont have the door locked. all of a sudden this big guy just bursts into the house like it was his own. no shirt on. the only thing she could think of to say is.. "you scared me". hahaha. that's kath for you. so he starts saying random girl names... "melissa? erin?"... kath is shaking her head and saying "no... no...". as she takes a step forward he takes a step back. all that's going through her head is "how in the world am i going to get this guy out of here?". so he continues on with the random girl names and she keeps stepping forward.. he keeps stepping back and this happens until she reaches the door and he finally steps out far enough for her to shut the door in his face. people are crazy out here. they call the meth addicts "tweekers". so anyways, after all this happens, she runs in the bathroom.. her hands are flying around she's yelling because she's scared but i found it pretty funny. "SAMANTHA! A MAN JUST CAME IN THE HOUSE... HE WAS TALL, HE HAD NO SHIRT. BUT HE'S GONE." hahahaha. so i get out and go outside to make sure he was gone (dont worry it was daylight). he was gone, but he left his shirt on my gate..? so weird. twentynine palms is not for single women. i've decided that if andrew for some reason ends up deploying again... i'm moving back home. people are scary around here!

well, i'm going to go crash now. laundry day tomorrow with taylor and eryka. we've all put it off for far too long. thursday we're all supposed to meet up with some of the other wives and go out to eat before the guys come home friday morning. that should be fun.

sleep well!
