28 Apr
I know…it’s strange to have an entire weekday go by without a post from me.
Well, the UberHusband and I drove up to Fort Sill, OK today (left at 7:15 a.m. and got back…about five minutes ago) to take care of a bunch of administrative crap and show me around in case I ever need to be someplace Army-y.
Did you know that their PX sells Clinique? Had I know, I would have made a list…
All is well, though. I thought about blogging from the road with my slick new camera phone but couldn’t figure out how. Oh well.
See you all tomorrow!
One Response for "Snarky Is In Da House"
I read some of your blogs while doing some random GOOGLING (Clinique + military.) While attending a Clinique spring education seminar in Dallas, yesterday, it was pointed out, as usual, that most customers and consultants have no clue we have military accounts at many aafes worldwide. I got a kick out of th few blogs I read. You seem like an awesome woman. To clarify I’m a “Clinique Lady” at the Ft. Sill PX, wishing you woulda made that list before you came, (elbow nudge, heheh.) Nah, at the PX doors, we don’t get commission or have quotas that determine our continued employment.
Anyway, I can relate to your deployment experience. My active-duty senior enlisted husband came back 4 months ago from a year long convoy mission in the Iraq/Kuwait area. His unit started the deactivation process upon redeployment, was assigned to a new unit here, and is scheduled to go back “over there” as early as this fall. Homecoming BUZZKILL? You bet. I am so dreading it now that the full awareness of what it is like is still 4 months fresh in my mind. Another whole year out of our marriage and co-parenting. You get through what you have to get through, right?
My whole point in posting this comment is to reach out for a minute to a stranger with a similar Army experience (and a love for Clinique products) and say “I hear ya, girlfriend,” to say thank you to your husband for his service and to your family for the sacrifices you’ve endured. Good luck in the future. I hope you experience nothing worse than that deployment, and pay no attention to the incorrect grammar, spelling, or sentence structure, as I am just a makeup lady, hardy-har.
Best wishes. Thank you for your time,
