Favorite Things

Oprah has her favorite things. I have mine. Mine are cheaper. They currently are:

Freeze dried strawberries (Thank you Lightbulb!)
Balega running socks
Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo
Trish McEvoy Mascara (okay, not cheap but gifted from future sister-in-law)
Salty Dogs (vodka and grapefruit juice with salted rim)
Combos Cheddar Cheese Pretzels
Victoria's Secret Orange Sapphire Body Spray

I'm just recording this as my little time capsule. Shopping is a little more thrilling here because there's only one regular store-- the PX. Local stores are very expensive and Japanese sized clothes. This means I buy their dresses, which become mini-dresses with 3/4 sleeves.

It was a week of personal successes-- ran a flawless rifle range and performed my first air battles with my full crew, whom I now have great faith in. It was also demoralizing as my boss keeps criticizing me and NCOs don't respect me because I've been too tentative with them. I am also too old to date anyone as I was reminded when a young LT was hitting on me, friended me on facebook, and stopped texting. The wonderful thing about Army life is that people move frequently. My boss gets replaced in January. I'll start off more confidently with new NCOs. Any maybe, maybe a few officers in their 30's will land here. Fingers crossed!
