Back when Ziggy and I first started dating, I wasn't so sure that things were going to actually go anywhere. Yes, Ziggy is a great guy. He was then, too. There were two things that kept me from thinking that anything serious was going to happen with him. 1. The dog I had at the time and 2. Ziggy's asshole factor. Now, to explain the dog, you have to understand that I love the breed of dog that is a Siberian Husky, or Alaskan Malmute. Think the dogs from the movie Snow Dogs....sled dogs, basically. I had one, a beautiful black and white Siberian named Sasha. The serious downside to that breed is that they are double coated, and tend to shed repeatedly. Well, when Ziggy and I started dating, and he would come over, my dog would rub against him, wanting to be petted. Thus, leaving white hair on his pants. To which he'd freak out over(yes, the man with a very very relaxed sense of fashion freaked over something like this), and try to avoid my dog at all costs. I'm a firm believer that if a potential significant other can't deal with your kids or your pets, they are worth keeping around for all the aggravation. Ziggy was great with Scout, but Sasha was another ballgame entirely. Thus my concern over things with him.
As for the asshole factor, Ziggy is a good bit like his father, but much more like his brother. For as long as I can remember, Ziggy has warned me about his brother, about how to be careful what I say or do around him or else he'll get pissed and either tell me off(big whoop, in my opinion) or I won't be allowed around the family. Yes, you read that correctly.....spouses and significant others that don't behave get excluded in that family. Anyways, my brother in law has a quick tongue and little to no remorse for what he says to people, and in this way Ziggy is very much like him, though the brother is younger than Ziggy. Anyways, Ziggy would let whatever was in his mind come out of the mouth, and little care for what he said or the effects of what he said had on others. So he was percieved, by me, as a nice guy for the most part, but a serious jerk as well. I didn't think he would be any kind of polite to anyone unless it benefitted him. I thought this for a long time, actually. Which is why, when he asked me to marry him, I didn't think it would really happen. I thought he'd get tired of me and move on. It was an impression that I got any time he would tell me about his past relationships and how things went with them. So in a way I was waiting on the other shoe to drop and him to move on. Part of me still waits on it.
I explain all this in order to tell why I am so upset right now. The last time I was made this upset by Ziggy was this time 2 years ago, and it concerned what became MiniZiggy, and whether or not we'd be together with that baby. Anyways, I was on the phone with Ziggy the other night, and I was explaining something to him about Scout, and I tried to explain it to where Ziggy would catch it. Ziggy doesn't always understand things regarding kids without a bit of explanation so I was trying to explain. Well, Ziggy got a bit short with me, making me wonder what the hell was going on. He whipped out asshole over it to, and it stung. I have always feared Ziggy's asshole side because I firmly believe that truth comes out in what you say when you are angry, drunk or under anesthesia. I have never been strong enough to fight Ziggy's asshole side, I usually back off and try to disappear to lick my wounds in private rather than confront him with it. It tends to bring out more of it in him. And I tend to try to avoid him whipping it out on me.( Sorry I'm so long-winded today)....yea........so it bothers me, and it has upset me, as being as he doesn't read my blog, I don't have to worry about hearing about it. I can write this into the oblivion that is the internet and let it fly, and few will know of it.
So thanks for letting me get that off my chest, what few readers I have......

On with the story......and random
Ahh.....the story of how much a paradox I am in the Air Force. For those who regularly read my blog, you know that I am an oddity in the Air Force. My training, all of that. Well, you'll recall the post about my conversation with Kermit, regarding Caddillac, right? Oh, it gets better......
Cadillac tells Ziggy that I need to drop him an email and let him know my plans, if I am staying in, or getting out. Also, he wants to know what it would take to keep me in the Air Force. HA! Yea.....so I send it all to him, all the details for getting out and for what would keep me in. I didn't ask for money(the paycheck is enough for me), but I asked for what I wanted. He sends me this email back saying that I am asking a ton, and that he would have fought for me to stay in if I wanted to stay in. Why? Because he says that I am a good person. Yeeaaa.......am I the least bit stressed about this? Nope. But, according to Ziggy and Cadillac, people here at Langley have been aggravating him about what I'm going to do. Which seems odd.....no one here uses the chain of command in the first place, and whenever they try, it's always wrong. Cadillac isn't my supervisor any more, and on top of that, he's deployed, so why ask him questions, when I am there in the shop and you can get answers straight from me, without all the run-around.
So, just to keep Auschwitz in the loop, I call up the shop and ask Der Fuhrer about all this, as Kermit is at a class. Yea, they know nothing of what Cadillac is referencing......big suprise there. I have no clue what Cadillac thinks he is trying to accomplish, but it seems to be a one-man mission....
Ziggy will be home the weekend that I am going to be in Charlotte for my neice's wedding. I can't wait!!!!!! He's started counting the days down......
I was thinking today, of how Ziggy and I got together, and it is rather surprising that we are together and have stayed together for as long as we have. We were raised very differently, and have had very different experiences in life, so it's amazing that we are together......

Random thoughts
If people want to see how truly mortal they truly are, going to war is not necessary........just have children.....and then wait until that first child hits about 10 and starts doing the math as to how old you(the parent) will be when each of his or her's siblings are certain ages........then it hits you........I am terribly, terribly mortal. As Scout was SO good(note sarcasm) to remind me today.
I got to see MiniMachine on ultrasound today. No word on whether this one is a girl or a boy, but all looked well, as much as can be seen in this stage. Apparently I am a week farther along than I thought I was, which is fine by me. Scout got to see, too, he was tickled about that. Ziggy called and was excited to hear that we saw the baby on ultrasound, though he didn't get to. But I mailed him the pictures that they took, so maybe that will help a bit. He'll be home for the big ultrasound, though, and that's all the better. And even better news.......NOT HAVING TWINS!!!!!! This is definitely a single pregnancy, my doc was very thorough in checking....
My paper for my class that is due on Thursday night, is as done as it's going to get. I have 7 pages, and that was stretching it....Here's hoping that it's alright with my professor.
I had more to add, but have forgotten it........will update as it comes to me....

Ok, I don't get it
I drive 30 miles to work every day, and 30 miles home. Along the highways I see what I am assuming are abandoned vehicles. And it never seems to fail, there's always an article of clothing(usually a T shirt, it appears) hanging out of the drivers' side door of the car. Now, what the hell is that for? Is it some signal that the owner/driver will not be returning for the vehicle? Did someone have a narrow escape from being swallowed by the car, and just the shirt remains? WTF?!?!?!!?
Just something I've noticed and been curious about.

Truer words haven't been spoken
"Cynthia McKinney is a racist," Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said on Fox News Channel, a day after abandoning his reelection bid under a cloud of ethics charges. "She has a long history of racism. Everything is racism with her. This is incredible arrogance that sometimes hits these members of Congress, but especially Cynthia McKinney."
I lived in Georgia at the time this woman was elected to office, and she has drawn attention to herself ever since. And I can't say that it's in a good way. If I recall right, there was a fuss made over the initial election that she won her seat in, as to the voting district boundaries and who was really supposed to vote in that particular district. Her victory hinged on it, if I remember right. This woman has been nothing but drama since day 1. I read that her own party wasn't even supporting her in this. That's very telling, as the Democrats are usually very supportive of their own, whether they are right or wrong. I think her days are numbered.

You have got to be kidding me
I go to my regular doc today, to get a referral to a civilian OB/GYN. Yea........they call up Tricare to see if they can refer me out, and get told that they can't. Oh, and to beat that, they mention that it is EXTREMELY difficult to refer out a active duty member to a civilian. As in it practically takes a death sentence to do it.
Peachy. This frustrates me more than I can relate. So I'm talking to my doc, a very nice lady, by the way, and I'm telling her my experiences with the healthcare here on base, my past medical history with having kids, etc, and she calls up to Labor and Delivery, and asks them to check the baby's heartbeat, for my peace of mind, as I am almost hysterical at this point.
We may all do a happy dance, we have a heartbeat!!!
But I still have to go see the lunatics here on base next week. I really don't like these people.

13 months and counting
If I knew how to set up a counter on this thing, I would. But I am challenged that way. I have 13 months left in the U.S. Air Force, as of yesterday. And I can hardly wait to get back to the real world. I can't wait to wear normal clothes, and nothing that looks like everyone else at work. No more combat boots for me. No more having to watch how thick my bun is to stay in regulation. No more getting up at the butt crack of dawn!!!!!! And best of all........
NO MORE SUMMER VACATIONS IN IRAQ!!!!!!!
Gotta love Honorable Discharge status.....
