*yawn* *yawn* Let’s see… First off, I think everyone wants to know how the Ball went. I can honestly tell you it wasn’t what I thought it would be. This is pretty much how the night went… Wander around the building until they tell you it is alright to find your table.  Stand at your seat for 15 minutes while they search for the guy with the triangle to properly “ding” you the command to sit down. Try to force a conversation with the Officers and the upset Staff Sergeants (they didn’t properly claim their seats so the Officers took them) until they can locate the Honor Guard. Stand up, Ruffles and Flourishes, sit down. Stand up, National Anthem, sit down. Stand up, speaker, sit down, listen. Then there was a really cool POW/MIA ceremony. Charge your glasses again, and toast a two page list of people. Sit down, cold, fancy, weird fruit; nut and lettuce combination dinner is served. Make fun of the fact the dinner is really, really weird with everyone at the table. Main dish is served (2 servings of chicken, 3 servings of roast beef, more veggies and South of the Border spicy red potatoes.) Then just as soon as we can start on our main dish, GET OUT!!!! They need to clean!  Wander around the court yard in the dark with everyone else for 15 minutes, come back inside, sit down and watch a 2 Star and an A1C cut a cake with a sword. Applause. Speaker. Then an hour later, close with everyone singing Happy Birthday to the Air Force and the Air Force Song. We were then dismissed to go home, but we could stay and drink and dance if we wanted. That, in a nutshell, was the Ball. I didn’t get any pictures at the Ball, there really was no time between standing up, sitting down and leaving. I got some before we left and while we wandered around the first time. I will send them in an email rather than posting them here. =)

Now I am trying to figure out what sounds good for supper. We had pork chops last night and I had Flyboy make chicken strips for the week so those options are definitely out. Hmm… I think I will sign off for now, I am having a hard time focusing, grr. I will send those pictures ASAP.
