Untidy Army Wife

My husband is in the Army and his second tour was going to be in Colorado Springs. We got an apartment that was already furnish. He was send to Germany for two month, After he came back I told him that in the other side of our building they had better apartments and one of them was vacant and I wanted to move, we did. My husband was a talking to me about me not having friends and it was not good for me to be all the time by myself. I start meeting some of the soldiers from his unit, almost all of them were single and younger than us. One of the soldiers invited us to meet his wife and to be part of their get together. Well, I was a little hesitant. We went to the party me trying to have an open mind. Once we were there they offer us something to drink and to eat. The host said my wife is in the kitchen. When we went inside the apartment was so messy that look like a tornado pass through. The nightmare was just starting. We went to the kitchen and she offer my husband a beer and some coke for me. She said to make myself at home and get a glass from the cabinet. When I went to get the glass my eyes could not believe what was in the sink. It was something that look like potting soil. bones, dirty dishes, and a roach in a corner of the cabinet. I wanted to scream and cry, with a smile on my face, I removed myself from the kitchen, look for my husband and almost frantic I said: lets go right now. He said; What is wrong?. Together we went to the kitchen and he saw the mess in the sink. Politely we said thank you for inviting us but my wife is not feeling well. They offer us some food to take with us. Are you kidding me?. We said no thank you and left. If you think the nightmare ends here you are wrong with capital W.
After that we met another couple he was american and she was from the Philippines. She was a very nice  and friendly. They invited us to her apartment my God what a difference. The apartment was spotless. The food was really good and the conversation was great. Before living she told me that in her complex they have a pool and invited me, of course a said "yes". Next day I got to her apartment, and we left to pool area. Oh my God! the lady from the messy apartment was there. She was with a baby (beautiful) and say: hello. I introduce her to my new friend. The untidy wife just moved to the same apartment complex a month ago. Let me tell you when she was walking toward us, she had a big spot of coffee in her bathing suit.  Her bathing suit was the kind of material that when you are wet you look naked. So we had free show. The baby boy was beautiful, but he smell bad.I thought that it was because she was a heavy smoker, wrong.  She ask if we wanted to see her new apartment. My new friend said: yes. When we enter the apartment everything was in boxes. My God a month living there and everything was in boxes. Well, she was changing the baby and when she opened the diaper. You will never know what came out of that diaper. Well, a drumstick, sweet peas, dirt, and other things that I can remember.
To end my nightmare, the untidy army wife decided to work in a fast food establishment, she ask me to take care of the baby, so she can go to the interview. Her finger nails and hair were disgusting and just like that she left. When she came back you will not believe it, they hired her. Well, I never went to that fast food place again. Not every army wife is like that. Her husband decided to get out of the army and go back home.


Nail Salon

Women will agree with me that been pamper is one of the things we love. Well, I was on vacation in P,R. and decided to get my nails done. I went to Wal-Mart and they have a nail salon too. The owner of the salon was Asian but spoke Spanish like a native speaker. She guided me to one of the nail stations, the lady was really nice. As usual I ask her how long she has been doing nails, if she liked and all that. We were talking and out of the blue one of her co -workers  started talking. She started talking about the father of her dauhter and all the things she has done to him after he left her Before I start my story she was super funny.
She and a friend follow her baby daddy to another city, He was meeting with his friends in a place that it was music, dancing. food, and so on this place is like in a mountain. While he was having a good time, she got out of her car and believe it or not she had a copy of his truck key. You know what is coming, yes she stole his truck and went home follow by her friend. The next the he went to her home and he said that it was not funny what she did, This was not the first time " sucker". He ask for the copy of his key. She was hesitant but she gave him the key.
The story does not end here it is more. Her brother had a neighbor friend, they knew each other for a long time. One day, when know one was in the house he decided to crash into the house and stole his friend stereo. What a friend...  A neighbor saw what happen and told the nail lady (the one who stole the truck as a prank) That she knew who did it. The stereo thief lived in front of their house. So, he was cleaning his truck in which he has spend a lo of money in the big wheels and all that stuff that men like in their cars  or truck in this case. The girl decided to get even. Jump her neighbors fence, got into the shed and stole a long piece of chain, put some gloves, waited for the neighbor to get inside his house, and what is next is just crazy. She tide up the the chain to the back of the truck and a put a lock to the part of the chain and another to the back of the nice, all prep car, the baby of the owner. The neighbor was all handsome to go out when he got into his truck, turned on, put the music really loud. I bet he did not expected what it is about to happen.
The guy loves to show off thinking that he is part of the movie " Fast and the Furious. And their he goes living
his transmission in the middle of the street. He was furious and shouting all the bad words in the Spanish  language. And in the other side of the road was the nail lady laughing until she had tears in her eyes. The truck guy so her and ask if she was the person that did that to his truck, "Dah" like she is going to tell. She said that she did not know what happen. If he did not have insurance, poor baby no more racing, lol.
When she finish the story of the truck, I said: you are crazy. She was laughing, and as you know laugh is contagious the nail technician and I started to laugh. She kept saying that if someone do something against her or her family she will do something about it. She kept talking about all the ideas that she had and there is no way anyone was going to cut her doing what ever "prank" she wanted to do. Because, she likes to watch C.S.I. OK, at this point we were really laughing. Instead of just the three of us more people were listening to her stories and laughing.
My nails were beautiful,I tip the nail technician and told the girl you need help, it sound funny but in reality it is not right. Pay the owner and left.
There comes my sister with her daughter and said " we knew that in that riot you were involved and that every where I go is a party going on. Well, I love people and what ever happen in the salon was something that was not under my control. Anyway, I had a great time. It is always someone crazy in every corner and it happen to be that the girl needed to confess her wrong doing. Hope she got help.
Just to be fair not all the people from P.R. behave that way. Is always a rotten egg in every country.
