The winners are!!! And, a full frontal...

I know, I know, it's about a week late. But, the winners of the Curry drawing are Mom #2 and Teressa! YEAH! Soon you will be making the best Japanese curry...

Can I just say holly shit batman! This last week has been crazy. We did manage to get our "new" car. Had it for about 24 hours and it's already broken. It was broken when they delivered it to us. I called K (She is the dealers contact here on base), explained the problem, and she came by the same day. After driving it around for 2.2 seconds she realized they never fixed the original problems.

Ian and I drove our broken car to the base, and gave it back to the dealer. Here in Japan when someone wants to impress upon you how sorry they are they bow VERY low. In this case, Ian was not impressed with the dealers bowing, and told her so. Once I do get my car back it will go into the shop on base for a FULL inspection. This being silver week, it will probably be at least another week before I see my car again. The little (I mean tiny) loaner car will work for now, as long as I only have 2 of the 3 kids I own with me.

Ian's Khaki ball was Wednesday night. All I have to say about that night is Patron, Patron, Patron... This is not the dress I had intended to wear. I ordered 2 others. When they arrived I realized the first one was in no way appropriate for the ball. It is so frustrating when something looks good on line and turns out to be Lycra when it arrives. (something that resembles tie-dyed Lycra) SCARY! The other dress is beautiful, but still a bit to small for me. I ended up going with basic black.. I think it worked. Not that it mattered, again I say Patron....

We spent the better part of the weekend getting Ian ready to leave again. I will never get used to sea duty. But, such is the life of a sailors wife.....
