Mrs Robinson Not

Busy week, busy day. LA on business, back to the commissary to get ready for our Wednesday night "Wives with Husbands In Iraq" BBQ. I drove Alec's car up to LA, wow I love speed....don't tell him that! Arrived back at the Commissary and there was a car wash, the Marines hold a lot of these to raise funds for their Units, so I thought why not support the Marines and save myself a job. For the first time in ages I was dressed in something other than mummy clothes, had makeup and cute shoes, always a plus. How can a lady drive by 20, twenty something Marines in shorts and singlet shirts and not get her car washed. I must admit that they were playing their music a little loud and I am not sure the band was alive when I went to high school, but it was worth the $20.00 I paid out....yes, I was overcome by the moment and decided to shell out $20.00. In hindsight I was a little loose with my cash but it was worth watching 10 Marines wash my Husbands car.......who was I to tell them it wasn't mine.........and the song as I drove away, Tequila Makes the Clothes Come Off.....couldn't tell you the band on that one.

Some of the wives on my street said that by the end of 7 months even our gardeners will look cute...not sure on that one but I will probably have my car washed at least once more before Al comes home, just for the fun of it. Come on even us older chicks need to do a little window shopping from time-to-time.
