I just got back from a softball tournament, which AMMO accidentally got knocked out of, but we all (around…50 of us?  I’m not sure) stuck around for the rest of the games to either cheer or totally heckle, depending on who was playing.  The very last game of the evening was Loaders vs. Cops, and for those who aren’t AMMO, let me explain: AMMO has a FIERCE rivalry with the Loaders, and the Cops just hate us sooooo…..it was an interesting match up, for sure.  It was a little confusing, deciding who to heckle more, but in the end, the hatred of the Loaders won out.  I don’t think I will ever again see in my military career 50+ AMMO troops standing around, cheering on the cops.  We all had on our AMMO jerseys too…mine says ammogirl on the back, of course.  There are pics…somewhere…on somebodies camera…I will get my hands on them somehow and post them soon, I promise.

Anyway, since it is nearly 11pm and I have very little time to get a post written, edited and published before midnight, I am stealing this from Kay, who gets TEN gold stars, just because.  There is actually supposed to be two pics with this, one of me when I was little, and one of me now; but I don’t have any pics of me when I was a little girl, not here anyway, so the ABC’s of ammogirl is all you get!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Accent: Like, for some reason, people always think that I am from California, but I sooo am not.  I am totally from Oregon, where we don’t have accents.  But people still call me a Valley Girl, which is so old it’s like, you know, new again.

Booze: I like wine.  I’ll drink other stuff if I have to, but I seriously would just prefer wine over anything else.

Chore I hate: I hate hate HATE folding laundry.  It’s the WORST CHORE EVER.

Dog or cat: Right now we just have cats because we are never home.  HOWEVER, my cats are totally cool.  The day I retire, though, I’m getting myself a dog, and I am very partial to yorkies .  And yes, I will dress my dog up, and put ribbons in it’s fur, and carry it around like a new accessory.

Number of sexual partners: I’m a virgin, remember? (ahem..my parents read this…)

Overnight hospital stays: Well, I had a really bad allergic reaction/hives attack when I was 3, my whole body puffed up and my parents took me to the hospital.  I stayed overnight then…they never did find out what caused that.  Besides that, twice, when the girls were born.

Phobias: Crowds.  Moths, spiders, unglazed pottery, hair, lint…we’ve been over all this already

Zodiac sign: Leo.  From Astrology.com: Leo is symbolized by the Lion. You’re stubborn yet impulsive. You’re also showy, dramatic and sometimes vain. You have a sunny demeanor and love to be the center of your loved ones’ adoration. You’d make a great actor; in fact, many actors are born under a Leo Sun.  Yup.  Sounds like me.
