I Look Forward To More Coffee Mornings And Munchkins
I went for coffee yesterday morning. I met a gal online, in a group that I joined several months ago.
Remember when I was going through my "Give My Stuff Away" phase? Well, I did another Yahoo Groups search and found a large group of people reaching out to each other at this base.
I gleaned all sorts of information from this group and didn't feel so lonely, lost when I got here because of them.
I knew where to go to get my nails done. My only vice. Yeah right.
I knew about the online yard sales site. I bought some used fans, no air conditioning here, and a used chest freezer last week.
Really decent prices on thoses items. So I can get my nails done. Really, I'm not kidding, my only vice.
Anyway, this gal sells Partylite stuff and I kinda, sorta invited myself to the party she was having. I wanted to go, to get some STUFF, but more importantly to meet some people. Well, Spousal Unit and I got all involved in putting the house together that afternoon/evening and by the time I realized what time it was, it was too late to attend. Spousal Unit is like that.
Well, the gal e-mailed me back and we met for coffee yesterday. She is in the next town/village over and she is adorable. Really young, but adorable. I also got to meet her upstairs neighbor and their collective, several munchkins. I have two new coffee friends.
I kinda miss munchkins being around. Though the visual of the one mom talking about sucking her son's snot was a doozie. I know, I promised not to blog about it, but I just couldn't pass that one up.
I look forward to more coffee mornings and munchkins. I've decided I can be the favorite "Aunt She Who" for awhile.

I Really Love This Place
The view from my third floor. We have our workout room up here along with the "office" and our romper room. Does that age me or what????
Our computers are on this floor and I come up here every morning to check e-mail and catch up with the news. Papers don't get delivered this far away from the base so, feeling news deprived, I hop online to find out what is going on in the world.
This is what I gazed at this morning. I love this place.
Spousal Unit is gone for two weeks and I still love this place.
PS. I went shopping today. Tee Hee.
What's Left To Do?
I've been working on the house recently. It is starting to come together. Spousal Unit gave me 30 days to use him as my "Beast of Burden." That means that for 30 days I can move things about, or I should say that I can direct him to move things about.
We recently purchased the TV stand and put it together. It fits the wall space and I get my sofa table back.
The kitchen still needs a little work. Being so small little is the key word. Luckily Spousal Unit took OK pictures on his initial visit so I was able to judge what to bring. Actually I judged what to bring on all his pictures and he also provided measurements for the rooms and other areas.
The living area is adjacent to the kitchen. This is the largest area. It is supposed to be the dining area but go figure. My sofa and love seat wouldn't fit in the supposed area so I just flipped them. I found a small table and chairs that I put under the window (Upper left in the picture) so we have no excuse to eat on the coffee table every night. He did last night just so he can show me who's boss. Yeah right.
Below is the dining area, because I said so. It fits the furniture and we can play music without leaving our seat. That would be if the stereo worked. Looking for a new sound system in the near future.
All in all I am very pleased with the accomplishments we have made. The house is really coming together.
Until you get to the third floor. Oops! That photo is supposed to be in the before shots. Anyway I am not in too much of a hurry to get everything done. I guess I figure if I get the house done too fast what's left to do? SHOP?????

Look Out World
I took my driver's test yesterday.
I passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The blue sign means the exit off the Autobahn. That would be me, exiting off the highway to go on my new adventures. I am no longer housebound. 
Look out world. Here I come.

I Bet He Never Forgets Required Documents Again
OK class, since the Spousal Unit forgot to give me a set of orders for me to take my driving test, you get to suffer along with me through my continued studying. He might never live this down. That or he better bring me some really good stuff from his trip next week.
Below are listed some of the study tools required to be memorized for passing the test. See if you can figure out the right-before-left laws. HINT: Whoever is on the right has the priority. Usually.
My first choice is to say the the bicyclist has priority. Wrong. Because he is turning left that takes him out of the running and car #2 gets to go first. It probably isn't wise to turn in front of a semi either.

What order may the vehicles proceed. This is an easy one. 1-2-3. Unmarked intersections are right-before-left.
What does the driver of vehicle 2 have to do? This one is straight forward also, even though it looks a little weird. Vehicle 2 has to observe the right-away of vehicle 3. The hot red sports car gets to go last.
When may vehicle 3 proceed? After vehicles 1 and 2. The biker has a yield sign and must wait for the two vehicles that have the priority. He is gonna love following that horse drawn wagon.
Which two vehicles have to wait at these junctions? Did you guess vehicles 2 and 3? Good, because that's the correct answer. It hurts my brain but.... vehicle 4 is on the priority at this intersection so #3 has to yield, and vehicle 1 is right-before-left.
OK, class is over for today and we will resume our lessons early tomorrow.
Spousal Unit is just starting his lessons. Tee Hee! He is taking me shopping this weekend. As in, tonight, tomorrow and Sunday. The stores are open this Sunday, which is very unusual. So, I get to fix his little red wagon. He hates shopping. I bet he never forgets required documents again.
