Spam, Smoke, and Deployments...

Okay, first I'd like to thank the Spammers on the internet for wasting my time. Anti-aging chick...yes, I'm so glad you commented. I'm 25 and man are those wrinkles starting to take over! Help me, help me! (ridiculous).
Today I set off the smoke detectors in the house. Hey, at least we know they work. No, they like REALLY work. I forgot that we (ahem ROB) had burned some cheese off of a pizza in the oven last week and you can't clean the cheese out of the oven until the oven cools and by the time it cools you forgot it even happened...which basically means that cheese ain't going nowhere. Yeah, so the whole house had that "Ladder 49" look for about an hour and I had to disconnect all fire detecting devices in order to stop my dog from howling and the neighbors' dogs from howling and the lady from downstairs from beating on the ceiling....etc. Did you know you can cook pizza in a toaster?
Anyway, so Rob's date of deployment is getting closer. Man, I remember this feeling last year. There's no nice way to say it. It sucks. Any of you who have felt slighted by me recently because I've been busy, have no fear. As of October 21, my schedule is WIDE OPEN. Scout and I will be hanging around the house watching reality television, burning pizza, and probably begging the anti-aging spam lady for another comment.
