Not Cool | The Neurotic Housewife
https://neuroticalison.wordpress.com/2012/10/25/not-cool
8230;…making worry a full time job. October 25, 2012. Dear people who work in the housing office:. If your website says that you can put yourself on the waiting list as soon as you have orders and then when you submit all of your paper work, it’s not cool to say that you cannot actually put your name on the list until you arrive at your next duty station. Didn’t your mamas tell you that lying isn’t nice? I’m sure you’re all lovely people, but right now, I’m mad at you. I don’t now. Not cool at all. IR...

Running Update | The Neurotic Housewife
https://neuroticalison.wordpress.com/2012/10/17/running-update
8230;…making worry a full time job. October 17, 2012. Well look at me blogging twice in one month; that’s a new record, for sure. Someone please give this girl a cookie. No, seriously. Do you have a cookie? I could really use a cookie right now. Just to recap: my house empty. It was kind of awesome. Back in September, Craig and I ran the Navy-Air Force (Air Force-Navy? Well, the weather was NOT right (it rained! 8221; and ran toward the finish. At that point, the finish line was in sight, but felt li...

On Being Alison | The Neurotic Housewife
https://neuroticalison.wordpress.com/2012/11/15/on-being-alison
8230;…making worry a full time job. November 15, 2012. So yesterday I sat down to collect my thoughts and compose a blog post; recently, I’ve sat down and started and then deleted at least ten different posts. But yesterday, fueled by a delicious Japanese hibachi lunch I shared with my beloved gym friends, I typed and emoted and typed some more. As you have come to expect, it was a brilliant piece of writing.😉. And then it disappeared. Here one minute; gone the next. Saturday is my birthday. Even th...

A Neurotic Housewife First | The Neurotic Housewife
https://neuroticalison.wordpress.com/2012/10/22/a-neurotic-housewife-first
8230;…making worry a full time job. A Neurotic Housewife First. October 22, 2012. You all are NOT going to believe this: I did not wash my hair yesterday. Yes, this is very big news; so big, in fact, that it’s worthy of its own blog post. Especially since the last time I did not wash my hair was when I overslept and was late to my 5 am shift at McDonald’s back in my college days. Like, in 1996. I’m one of those crazies who must wash her hair every day. I kind of liked it. My official volunteer position w...

Coffee Talk | The Neurotic Housewife
https://neuroticalison.wordpress.com/2012/11/25/coffee-talk
8230;…making worry a full time job. November 25, 2012. This is not good. But, it gets the job done. I cant be too picky when my mood is at stake. In other news, we are doing a major shopping trip for all those fun household goodies like trash cans and shower curtains. I’m not crazy about shopping on one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year. Which, by the way, don’t toy think it’s dumb. That this weekend is referred to as ‘Black Friday WEEKEND? Right now it feels like we are on vacation and not ab...

Endorphins and Such | The Neurotic Housewife
https://neuroticalison.wordpress.com/2012/10/23/endorphins-and-such
8230;…making worry a full time job. October 23, 2012. I’m addicted to the gym. I blame the endorphins. Up until recently, I never really bought into the endorphin-induced surge of post-workout happiness. It just sounded like the trite ‘tips’ every single women’s magazine regurgitates, trying to convince their readers to partake in regular exercise. But now? Well, call me a believer. On most days I wake up in a panic. I drink some coffee (caffeine is great for panic and anxiety, right? If you know it keep...

Oh, Sandy | The Neurotic Housewife
https://neuroticalison.wordpress.com/2012/10/29/oh-sandy
8230;…making worry a full time job. October 29, 2012. Hurricane Sandy is doing her thing right now. It’s wet and windy, but for the time being, our power is ON. I’d show a picture of said wind and rain, but I seem to have packed the camera cord, so any pictures I take will stay on my camera until we are once again reunited with our household goods. In our new house. Which we currently do not have. Expect picture-less posts for quite some time. Power, please stay on. Ice cream for dinner, it is! We though...

Minimalist | The Neurotic Housewife
https://neuroticalison.wordpress.com/2012/10/28/minimalist
8230;…making worry a full time job. October 28, 2012. I’m not technically a minimalist. I own a lot of junk. I’ve been doing a lot of laundry lately. I miss my bed. But that’s neither here nor there. I’m having trouble staying motivated to keep it all together. I think I’ve mentally checked out. I find myself wanting to hang on to every last minute here, but wanting to get the show on the road, at the same time. Being in minimalist limbo isn’t exactly my cup ‘o tea. Tsunamis, earthquakes and hurricanes!
