Deployment Can Kiss My Ass...

...because Husband is home!!

It still feels like a dream but as I look over at his sleeping face as I type, I remember that I'm the luckiest girl in the world! Of course, Homecoming pictures will be up as soon as I can tear myself away from my Loverboy.



The Preparation

It took me a while, but I have finally decided on a homecoming dress.

The homecoming sign was a little harder. For a while, I just stared at the blank board. I didn't want it to look like every other homecoming sign, now did I?

But after quite a bit of thought, a few spills and more paint on myself than on the sign, I was finished! My sign is like no one else's:

[Don't worry, my sign will not be leaving the house!]

With my dress and signs, clean house and beer, I am now more than ready for Husband's homecoming!

Can we fast forward now?

Pick-Me-Ups

In the past few days, I have been a major Negative Nancy. Seriously, my grouchiness levels are so high that even I don't want to be near me. But luckily, in between all of my pouting, whining and slouching, two things have caused a smile to grace my lovely face.

#1: Most likely, my newest obsession.

What is it you ask?

It's the nookcolor!

And I love it! It's so fancy and new and I got the cutest little case for it. And with all the reading possibilities, I won't even have time to dwell on the fact that husband is gone again! Hopefully, anyway.

#2: As soon as husband got back to Sandland, he was told their "boots on the ground" date! As always with the Army, the date could change between now and then but I don't even care. Regardless of any changes, he will be home on or around that date so I already made my plans for my grand return to Hawaii.

And the best part is:

I got an amazing deal on a flight!

So now I just need to find more and more things to fill my remaining lonely days with happiness. I would really love to have another part time job to pass the time but I know that's completely unrealistic with my Hawaiian return fast-approaching. Perhaps I'll busy myself with losing the 5 pounds my butt gained while husband was home. By the time I accomplish that, maybe I'll have come up with a spectacularly fun plan for staying busy...any ideas?

Advice!

Ok, bloggy friends, I need your help! I've never been one for making decisions and with all of the excitement messing with my head, I am hopelessly lost when it comes to choosing my homecoming (for R&R) outfit. So I am going to show you the choices that I've come up with and you get to pick! Keep in mind that I want my husband to think, "Holy crap, is that my hott wife?!" Ok, here we go!

Option #1:

Black top/dress, grey tights and belt! I know the picture is horrible but if you look closely, you can see that this one has cute little pockets, which I just love. I would probably also wear my black slouch boots.

Option #2:

Black&White fitted dress with black tights. With this one I could wear either black or grey slouch boots.

Option #3:

We will call the "Go shopping because both of your choices stink." option.
{If you choose this one, feel free to send a picture of your suggestion so I can get it right this time.}

So there you have it. That's all I have to offer as far as homecoming outfit ideas go and I seriously need some advice. Hair and makeup advice would be great too but I wouldn't want to overwhelm you with all of my needy demands. But seriously, if I don't get a little help, I will probably show up at the airport to welcome husband home in a plastic garbage bag. Then he will be scared away and I'll be all alone. And it will be all your fault and I will have to blame you forever. Just sayin.
