Surrounded

Do you ever notice silly little things that people say that make absultley NO sense what so ever. Sometimes we just say things before we think and hope the other person either just didnt hear or that at the very least they just wont say anything.

I was walking out to the car last weekend and my neighbor was walking from his car back into his house. I really like these neighbors but we hardly ever see each other, so when we do we will talk for just a second. I saw him and said "Hey, how have you guys been?" He said they were fine, just doing the same old thing. We talked for a minute and I said "Well I never see you guys anymore." His response was "Well we are always either here or we are gone." Really?? Thanks for clafiying that for me. I just went oh, ok well I will talk to you later. Now you know I am usually pretty quick with my own tongue and I couldn't even say anything to we are here or we are gone.

Another lady that lived behind me was full of them. So much that I avoided her as much as possible. She was good to talk to if you needed to back into the house and talk about someone or just have a good laugh tho. I know that's kind of mean right? Right off the bat when I met her she told me she hated it here as soon as they got off the plane and she was so depressed that she had gained 70 pounds in two months!! WOW!!! That is depressed, or you just make crap up, or there is something wrong with you! They left last month (thank goodness!) and she was telling me about their van in storage that they were going to pick up. They have 4 kids and his dad also lives with them. They are going to Texas, I think near ElPaso. The van is in storage in California so she was telling me about picking up the van in CA and driving to TX. They will deliver your vehicle to the nearest port of your next duty station so there is no reason to drive half way across the country for no reason. But miss brainiack told me that it is the same distance from CA to ElPaso as it is from Dallas to ElPaso, so they might as well just pick it up in CA. Alrighty then...but I know that after we leave here and we havent been in a car for longer than an hour for 3 or 4 years, I WILL NOT be driving to pick up our car in staroge. Oh wait....it's not my car is it? :)

Saturday I was at the base beauty shop getting my eyebrows waxed and there is one girl that works in there who is quite obvisouly from the south. So while I am laying there I can hear her talking to her customer. They werent talking about anything interesting she just happened to be the loudest person talking and I could hear her. They were talking about weddings. She was telling her customer that when her and her husband got married they went to visit family (I think they got married just before coming over here) They got married in TX near his family then went down to Arkansas to see her family. I am by no means a geography bee winner, but I do know that you dont go DOWN to Arkansas from Texas.

Then there are things that 75% of the population say and everybody just accepts to the point that nobody even realizes that it is not correct. My brother was nice enought to point this word out to me about 10 years ago and it still drives me crazy. Have you noticed how people say hisself all the time? HiSself....pretty sure its not a word, that would be hiMself. Now you will notice people say that daily. So thanks big brother for pointing hisself out to me!

I'm not crancky by the way. I just dont like stupid people.
