Final-y!!!

Ha! You see what I did there?

Oh hush, you know you laughed.

Yes, yes... I took my finals today. Not going to say how I think I did on here for fear of it biting me in the butt. I'm going to be a basketcase until I get my grades. First my tummy was in knots because I was anxious about taking the finals and now my tummy is in knots waiting for the results... I hope they come soon. I hope I did well! :\ <(that's my scared face)

Anyway, I've got cleaning to do if I can muster up the energy and then I'll lay down and watch some TV because I deserve it! :D

"If an optimist had his left arm chewed off by an alligator, he might say, in a pleasant and hopeful voice, "Well, this isn't too bad. I don't have my left arm anymore, but at least nobody will ever ask me whether I am right-handed or left-handed," but most of us would say something more along the lines of "Aaaaah! My arm! My arm!"
-Lemony Snicket

Well... I won't be doing that again.

Today I had an awesome idea that totally backfired. I used Sky's body wash in the shower today.... yeah... not good. I started crying almost as soon as it was in my hand. I felt like such a girl... lol But yeah, not doing that again. :(

Today has pretty much been just school work, notes, studying for finals... all that fun stuff. Talked to Sky some, watched a little Buffy... should have worked out but totally didn't.

Yesterday was a little more interesting. :p I did some school stuff and then my friend from the bowling alley called and wanted to see if I wanted to check out the Giga outlet with her. Its supposed to be like Japanese Ikea I guess. Well, we totally didn't end up doing that because we spent too much time in the 100 yen store. I got some pictures but since my computer still isn't reading my card I'm going to bring it over to her place soon and get all my pictures off there. After she dropped me off back home I talked to Sky for a bit and started cooking way too late. lol The airman who saved us when we first got here came over for dinner. I wanted to have it done but I suck like that so he had to wait to be fed. He didn't really care though. Then he and I met my friend from earlier at the club for Misawa Idol. Seemed like some people were off their game. Just one of those nights I guess. They kept this guy I really wanted to go home but oh well. Maybe next time he'll get cut. lol I'm mean, I can't help it. He seems like a douche.

That's really been it. I'll get pictures up when I can.

OMFG!!!!

I WANT THEM ALL!!!!!! Freaking amazing. Too bad they're £330 which means they're like $472.52.... each! :s But they are SOOOOOO AWESOME! Here... see for yourself.















Seriously awesome right??? Yeah... just had to share. My sister sent them to me. Amazing. There's also a Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Han Solo in Carbonite, Regular Leia, Jack Skellington, Sally, Catwoman, Predator, and a few others. I'm getting them all... one day... when I'm rich. :p Mmmkay... off for pancakes and homework and to try and call my brother in law again.

"It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons."
-Douglas Adams, The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Whoo whoo!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CJ!!!!!

It is my brother in law's birthday and I hope he has a very happy one. I will probably be giving him a call when I wake up in the morning because it will be his evening. He's probably not awake yet.

I hung out with Colleen (my friend with the cool dog, she approved of me using her first name) today. She had me over for dinner and she made some really ridiculously good chili. I was very happy. We got carried away talking again and I wasn't that productive. :s But I have from morning until dinner to work on it and all day Sunday.

My awesome daddy bought me the entire season of "That 70s Show" for no reason. Course its probably my Christmas gift for 2013. :p We suck at waiting for occasions. Anyway, that's really all for now. I'm flippin tired so I'm going to sleep soon.

So cool!

Shipping container homes are so cool! I freakin want one! :D

Actually, I just want a house. I cannot wait until Sky and I don't have to move around and I can PAINT my walls and not have to worry about painting back in a few years. I am SO sick and tired of white walls. Bleh... Every wall in our house is going to have SOME color. Even if its just an off white. Seriously. Eff white walls. On the bright side we're getting more "homey" type things. In a few days we will be getting some curtains. They're pretty. I'm stealing them from my friend with the awesome dog. I saw them at her house when I first met her and I loved them. Perfect for what I'm going for as far as colors go since they'll really match our "chocolate" couch. So blues will be our "accent" color and we will have pretty much everything else in neutrals blacks, browns, beiges, whites/creams. Can't wait until everything here is done... course then we'll probably be moving again. :s

Bleh... anyway... still have lots to do before finals. I'm going to try to get over to the bx, gym, and post office today but we shall see how that goes.

Its official

I'm officially 21 in the states now... *sigh* Crazy stuff.

I'm not feeling too hot. :( Probably that last piece of ice cream cake that I didn't need. And too much reading. So now I have a tummy and a headache. Wish I had a hubby to snuggle with and go to sleep. I'm so very tired.

Going to try to do more homework but I'm seriously considering going to bed before nine o'clock. How sad is that?

Its my m----- f------ birthday!

Today was great. A lot better than I thought it would be. But it was awesome. I woke up and talked to almost everyone. Sky and Kimmie weren't awake yet. Then I made some pancakes and only messed two of them up. :D Then I talked to my friend with the awesome dog and we decided to get lunch and run some errands. So we went to the BX and post office and I got some cards and presents. Then she bought me sushi for lunch and an ice cream cake which was very sweet of her. After that we picked her kids up from school and they all sang happy birthday (even her dog) and we had cake. It was awesome. Her kids made me the cutest little card and now its on my fridge. I felt so loved. <3 She and Kimmie have been making me want babies! But then I remember how much work they are. lol

So my 21st birthday was great. All without being hammered. :p After finals I might go over to my bowling alley friend's house and watch movies and drink sake out of the ninja sake set she bought at the bazaar. :D It'll be awesome.

Mmmmkay. Gotta try and do some reading or something.

Deuce.

1 down 5 to go...

And interestingly enough I mean that about a few things... hmm...

Homework, homework, homework... study, study, study...

Not really sure about whether or not I'm excited about my birthday. Missing the hubby. Really want to steal Kimmie's baby. Hopes to see Danielle sometime soon. Excited for Jayme and Richard (they set a date!). Tired. Hungry. Bleh...

Depressy day

Today I was awfully depressy. Hence the title. But luckily Sky was able to call me and I'm pretty sure I rocked my quiz for socy and my extra credit conference for gvpt. So I'm going to try and get a little ahead tonight since I'm taking at least a little time off on my birthday for some ice cream cake. :D Or maybe just ice cream... or maybe just cake... or maybe brownies. Either way... chocolatey goodness here I come.

Send presents. :p

Today

Was fun. And exausting. I got up about 8 something. Talked to my parents, made muffins, ate a few, took a shower, did my make up (OMG), then a friend came and got me at around noon(ish) and we went to McDonalds (mmmm....) and then the Asian Bazaar. Too bad school costs so dang much, I couldn't spend any money there. But my friend got an awesome sake set that had ninjas on it. I may try and steal that from her. :p

After that we had some time to kill before the Japanese Culture thing at the Mokuteki so we ran by the BX. Then we went to the Mokuteki (after we realized it was not at the Collocated Club) and watched some ladies perform on the koto and dance. There were some haikus read and some free food available (so we were totally there.)
After that we had even more time to kill so my friend came up to my (still clean) house and then we decided to go back to her place and watch a movie on her massive TV. We watched Role Models (freakin funny) and when it ended it was about the perfect time for us to head back to the club for "Misawa Idol" which, you guessed it, is like "American Idol" except a lot smaller and here at Misawa. Also, AI has Ryan Secrest and MI has Gina... a very interesting and charismatic character. lol She definitely kept the show interesting. We might go back next Saturday depending on how studying goes. We shall see... but I'll end this with a picture of myself and Gina and then, of course, my quote of the day.


"Hey, Brian, remember me? I'm the guy you left standing at the counter at McDonald's with a bag full of burgers. You know it's funny, I tried to walk home and, um, a lot of hungry deer walking around at this hour of the night and, um, oh here's where the story gets fun, uh, you may have noticed I'm missing an ear. Managed to, uh, pull it out of the deer's mouth and put it in some ice I got at a 7-Eleven. So when you are ready to apologize, just talk into this cup."
Stewie Griffin (voice by Seth MacFarlane) Family Guy

Mmm.... stir fry

I've been wanting stir fry for a while and I made some today and it was pretty good. Which made me very happy. Unfortunately I couldn't get my jar of minced garlic open so I had to do without. Ugh... where's a strong husband when you need one... Oh yeah... DEPLOYED! Ugh... Yes, I'm bitter. :p

Uhhh... I reorganized my bookshelf and stuff... had pancakes and coffee with my key spouse and did homework... Scored some awesome b-day presents (thank you again!!!) and talked to some of my favorite peeps. That's about it. Back to stuffs...

EW:TOGHnog;woahgr;ewjtawpe

ARG!!!! Since when did school get all hard??? :( Wish Sky were here to hug me and tell me everything was going to be ok and that I could do this. I'm burning myself out here. :s Lets just pray I make it to finals!!!

This is very, very sad but I think it needs to be passed on.

HOW COULD YOU?


How Could You? A man in Grand Rapids, Michigan incredibly took out a $7000 full page ad in the paper to present the following essay to the people of his community.



HOW COULD YOU? - By Jim Willis, 2001



When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I was "bad," you'd shake your finger at me and ask "How could you?" -- but then you'd relent and roll me over for a belly rub.



My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. I remember those nights of nuzzling you in bed and listening to your confidences and secret dreams, and I believed that life could not be any more perfect. We went for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, stops for ice cream (I only got the cone because "ice cream is bad for dogs" you said), and I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.



Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. I waited for you patiently, comforted you through heartbreaks and disappointments, never chided you about bad decisions, and romped with glee at your homecomings, and when you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a "dog person" - - still I welcomed her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy.



Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time banished to another room, or to a dog crate. Oh, how I wanted to love them, but I became a "prisoner of love." As they began to grow, I became their friend. They clung to my fur and pulled themselves up on wobbly legs, poked fingers in my eyes, investigated my ears, and gave me kisses on my nose. I loved everything about them and their touch -- because your touch was now so infrequent -- and I would've defended them with my life if need be. I would sneak into their beds and listen to their worries and secret dreams, and together we waited for the sound of your car in the driveway.



There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you just answered "yes" and changed the subject. I had gone from being "your dog" to "just a dog ," and you resented every expenditure on my behalf.



Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your "family," but there was a time when I was your only family.



I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the animal shelter. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said "I know you will find a good home for her." They shrugged and gave you a pained look. They understand the realities facing a middle-aged dog, even one with "papers." You had to pry your son's fingers loose from my collar as he screamed "No, Daddy! Please don't let them take my dog!" And I worried for him, and what lessons you had just taught him about friendship and loyalty, about love and responsibility, and about respect for all life. You gave me a good-bye pat on the head, avoided my eyes, and politely refused to take my collar and leash with you. You had a deadline to meet and now I have one, too.



After you left, the two nice ladies said you probably knew about your upcoming move months ago and made no attempt to find me another good home.

They shook their heads and asked, "How could you?"



They are as attentive to us here in the shelter as their busy schedules allow. They feed us, of course, but I lost my appetite days ago. At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you that you had changed your mind -- that this was all a bad dream... or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared, anyone who might save me.



When I realized I could not compete with the frolicking for attention of happy puppies, oblivious to their own fate, I retreated to a far corner and waited. I heard her footsteps as she came for me at the end of the day, and I padded along the aisle after her to a separate room. A blissfully quiet room. She placed me on the table and rubbed my ears, and told me not to worry. My heart pounded in anticipation of what was to come, but there was also a sense of relief.



The prisoner of love had run out of days. As is my nature, I was more concerned about her. The burden which she bears weighs heavily on her, and I know that, the same way I knew your every mood. She gently placed a tourniquet around my foreleg as a tear ran down her cheek. I licked her hand in the same way I used to comfort you so many years ago. She expertly slid the hypodermic needle into my vein. As I felt the sting and the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay down sleepily, looked into her kind eyes and murmured, "How could you?" Perhaps because she understood my dog speak, she said, "I'm so sorry." She hugged me, and hurriedly explained it was her job to make sure I went to a better place, where I wouldn't be ignored or abused or abandoned, or have to fend for myself -- a place of love and light so very different from this earthly place. And with my last bit of energy, I tried to convey to her with a thump of my tail that my "How could you?" was not directed at her. It was directed at you, My Beloved Master, I was thinking of you. I will think of you and wait for you forever. May everyone in your life continue to show you so much loyalty.



A Note from the Author: If "How Could You?" brought tears to your eyes as you read it, as it did to mine as I wrote it, it is because it is the composite story of the millions of formerly "owned" pets who die each year in American & Canadian animal shelters. Please use this to help educate, on your websites, in newsletters, on animal shelter and vet office bulletin boards. Tell the public that the decision to add a pet to the family is an important one for life, that animals deserve our love and sensible care, that finding another appropriate home for your animal is your responsibility and any local humane society or animal welfare league can offer you good advice, and that all life is precious.



Please do your part to stop the killing, and encourage all spay & neuter campaigns in order to prevent unwanted animals.

Epic hat is epic

So Sky had been talking about getting me this panda bear head hat that had scarves that attached to paws at the end. It sounded awesome but I thought it was going to be huge and I wouldn't be able to wear it anywhere. Well he sent a hat like it (the only panda they had was pink so I got a wolf) and I received it today.

Epic hat is epic







:D I'm a nerd I know. But this hat is worthy of geekin for the camera.

Uh, well other than getting my awesome hat I canceled my current internet and phone service because the new stuff starts at the very end of this month and I went shopping. Good thing too because I was really running out of food. And that's pretty much it. My head and back are hurting so I think I'll watch an episode of Buffy before I get to work on school stuffs. Just wanted to share my excitement about my new hat!

So...

I got registered for psychology for next term and got my proctored exams scheduled. Just getting them both out of the way on the same day. But I'm busy, busy, busy so if you're looking for entertainment unfortunately you will not find currently find it here but check out (if you don't already) Fail blog (don't forget the links above it to lolcats, loldogs... etc), Not always right, cake wrecks, and post secrets! And now back to my exciting school work! :p

Herro all

Haven't really posted lately. Not much has changed. Been watching Buffy and talking to Sky and doing schoolwork. Lots of notes. My hand hurts.

Yesterday I hung out with a friend. The one with the amazing dog. Neither she nor I felt like cooking so we went over to Burger King. Mmmm... that hit the spot. I'm going to try not to do that often but food (especially of the instant gratification kind) is my weakness. I went back to her house and hung out and next thing I knew it was 11:30 pm! We were floored. We had a great time talking though. She's a very cool lady.

My other friend (the one from the bowling alley and Towada Snow festival) and I may go to this Cultural thing this upcoming Saturday and the Asian Bazaar on Sunday. I'm not sure if I'll do both. We shall see. I need to give her a call tomorrow and find out the times because I would like to have the airman who helped us when we first arrived over for dinner (I still have like four of his DVDs. lol) and he's been working odd hours so the weekend would be the best bet for him.

As far as school goes... This term is almost over and I think next term I'm taking psychology... actually yeah. I think I'll register tomorrow. Huh... glad that's settled. :D Well I am off to do more notes and then watch some more Buffy. Ja mata.

"...or prawns."
Anya (Emma Caulfield) Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Gah... I'm such a slacker...

:s I've been so distracted today. I mean I finished my assignments and I did some notes but I probably watched more TV and did less productive stuff than I should have. Things have just been difficult. My mind is going like a billion miles per hour all in different directions and its just been hard to focus. Its like the only thing I can think clearly about is hubby. Its lame I know but I'm serious. When I'm talking to him my mind slows down and I can just stop and stare at him. I miss him terribly.

I'm thinking I'm done even attempting productivity today but tomorrow will be packed with reading, notes, and going through recipes for the impending grocery shopping trip. I mostly need to worry about the big stuff since I'm going with a friend if I find I need anything little I won't really mind walking.

Not a whole lot has been going on here. I think I might take psychology instead of English next semester. It will be cheaper and I don't have to take the placement test first which I have yet to be able to do. I'll probably take the placement tests for English and math when the next semester starts because I'll only have one class to worry about. Quickly nearing the end of the term... lets hope I do well. :s

Sky and I found this a while back but I forgot about it and then Danielle and I were talking about crazy awesome Japanese stuff so here you go.

"Inside every older person is a younger person -- wondering what the hell happened." -Cora Harvey Armstrong

Refreshed...

So today I headed to the post office. I called a lady who's house we had gone over to for a poker game a few days before Sky left. Her husband works with Sky and he wanted me to get to know the people he was going to be leaving with.

I was just going to walk but I ended up calling her because it started snowing, and not just a little. I'm refreshed though because I've pretty much been inside all day with no contact with any humans except electronically and it was nice to get some face time with someone who isn't hundreds of miles away. Also I got to love on her doggie. :D But we went to the post office and then to the Mokuteki and I had a grilled chicken wrap and then got that coffee that I had been craving.

Also I had been feeling sort of down on myself lately and puppy love definitely helps with any sort of depression. Its even better because her dog talks. lol Next time we hang out I'm going to have to get a picture of her pup (who isn't really a pup) and ask if I can post it on here. She's such an interesting dog.

Well, because I was gone all day unfortunately I didn't really do anything all that productive so I guess I'd better do that now. :s

-Jim Rohn

Just real quick...

I have a "going green" tip for anyone who cares. I'm not sure if anyone has thought of this but it occurred to me yesterday.

I was writing on my grocery list and aside from a few items that I wouldn't normally use that I find myself needing for a recipe I want to try we pretty much buy the same things every time we go shopping. You know, the staples. Milk, bread, eggs... etc. So I decided instead of making essentially the same lists over and over again I would make one with little boxes next to the item and laminate it. Then before going shopping I would go through my kitchen and put a check in the box by the items we need at that particular time. Makes life easier and greener. Just thought I'd share if any of you want to use the idea.

And for people at or coming to Misawa the Arts and Crafts center laminates up to regular sized paper for a small fee. People back in the states I'm sure Kinkos or something like that does it. Mmmmkay... back to reading and trying not to fall asleep. :p

Neat...

So my Key Spouse came by and dropped off my "passport" for this month. These passports are a series of different free/discounted things offered to the families that are here while their spouses are deployed. I'm all excited because it came in perfect timing because I've been really craving a coffee from Starbucks but haven't wanted to spend the money on it and in the passport there is a free coffee! Woo! Also there's a thing for $10 off a one hour massage. I'm so taking that offer up! :D

So yeah, just wanted to share.

Another busy week. I thought after the midterm things would go back to normal but this weeks is very busy. Plus I have to re do a couple things... :s

You may not see me for a few days.

UGH.

O...M...G...FOOD

Soooo.... I made my knockoff Chipotle chicken burrito tonight. It was no Chipotle but it was pretty effen good! I made myself very proud. I didn't have a recipe and I pretty much winged it but I pulled through! There were some things I would change.

1. I had the "fajita" style tortillas which are smaller and thicker, I would get the thinner, bigger burrito ones.
2. I would put a little less water in my rice to make room for the lemon (substituted for lime)
3. I would cook my chicken for a little less time (It dried out just a bit)

I think that was really it. I'm pretty sure I nailed seasonings that worked for me (a big pansy when it comes to spicy foods). Okay... Just wanted to update and brag that I experimented and it came out pretty good. :D

P.S. Thank you to the OHO poster who shared this with me. :D

Randomy...

So not a whole lot has happened. I tore through my strawberries. I only have about a serving left. :s But I have grapes and an apple so that's good.

While waiting for Sky to wake up I was doing notes but my hand was cramping up so I said crap on that.

I got to talk to him for a little while. Discussed my possible/most likely plans for tomorrow. He's going to the BX to get some necessities.

I'm feeling restless and lethargic... which doesn't really make any sense because those are two conflicting feelings. But that is what I am... So I'm going to go away... and do something... What, I'm not quite sure yet. It will either be extremely productive or extremely not. I'll let you know.

I'm totally awesome

My house is clean! I braided my hair for the first time ever last night! I wore make up today for the first time in like forever! I took pictures but my computer is being stupid still so I can't upload them! I'm experimenting with food for tomorrow! I'm making everything an expletive! Okay I'll stop now! :D

So yes, the house is clean. Everything. There still a few homeless items but I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with them so they are currently cleverly tucked away.

And yes, you read correctly. I braided my own hair for the first time ever... In my entire life. I'm that ungirly. It looked like crap but it held through the night and my hair looked cute this morning so I'll say I was fairly successful. Yeah, make up thing. I'm pretty sure the last time I wore make up was the holiday party. But I played with the make up that my parents sent and I got some decent pictures so I will upload them when I can. If it has to wait until Sky gets back I probably won't put them up here but I'll post them on myspace/facebook.

I'm marinating chicken in salsa but prior to pouring the salsa in I covered it in adobo and chipotle seasonings so hopefully when I grill it tomorrow it comes out similar to Chipotle's amazing chicken that I love and miss so much.

Well that stuff, wii fit, a trip to the commissary for fruit, and talking to some of my favorite peoples is about it. Off to watch some TV in my SPARKLING living room! :D

Ooooo....

I've passed 200 posts. :D Go me.

Today was pretty good. I finished my midterm (wooo!) and vacuumed and picked up the house. Its looking really good. I just have to sweep, mop, clean the kitchen, the bathroom, and find homes for just a few more things and I'm done as far as that goes. So that made me feel pretty good. I did my extra credit conference for GVPT but I'm going to wait to turn it in until after I send it to my sister.

I talked to Sky, my parents, and my in laws so that was nice. Unfortunately Kimmie is experiencing some crappy weather so her cable keeps going out and it keeps us off the phone. :( Hopefully that resolves itself soon. She's having kind of a crappy day and its still very early for her so I hope it gets better.

I made the chicken tonight and it was good. The mashed potatoes and asparagus went really well with it. I am nice and full. :D Unfortunately my computer is being dumb and I can't add a picture right now but I'll try and upload one later. Well I'm going to see if my sister is up.

Man...

I am feeling that Wii Fit this morning. Its my fault. I didn't stretch beforehand because I didn't think it was going to be so intense. And well, aside from the push ups it didn't feel that intense... and then this morning. Ugh. My upper legs are pretty pissed at me. Although I'm still going to need to do something for my arms because the only thing that works my arms (so far) is the push ups which I fail at but other than that Wii Fit might save me actual trips to the gym. Although I'm still going to try to go.

I talked to Sky last night and he's like uber impressed that I know what I'm eating today for dinner. And lunch for that matter. I'm just going to have burritos for lunch and as I said yesterday I'm doing the anniversary chicken tonight. I didn't mention that I'll also be doing mashed potatoes and asparagus because that sounds ridiculously yummy. I really need to get a planner. I'd like to start scheduling stuff and tracking my meals and activities.

Ugh... today I need to do some cleaning. I really have to vacuum, sweep and mop, and clean my kitchen and bathroom. Anyone want to come help? I've got brownies! (I know, I know, but I only had one yesterday. :p) ... *whines* Fine, I'll do it myself. After I talk to the hubby.

Deuce!

Well

Today was fairly productive. I finished my SOCY quiz and some of my GVPT conferences. Now all I have left is the rest of the SOCY midterm and my GVPT extra credit conference which I hope to do because it could be on the final.

I got restless though so I stopped doing homework and played some Wii Fit for the first time. I liked it. I only did half an hour but some of it was pretty challenging. I'd have to say that push ups were my least favorite. lol I had to do them girly style considering I can do like -1 actual push up. But it was cool. I already unlocked some additional exercises. My balance really sucks though. And apparently the Wii doesn't know me that well because it thought I had good posture. But I'm working on it.

I made burritos for dinner tonight. I'm going to make "Anniversary Chicken" and then I'll have left overs for a few days. Then I'll probably do grilled chicken wraps or something. We shall see.

I guess we've decided that I could go ahead and register for a class for next semester. I'm just trying to figure out what I want to take. I'll probably end up taking Writing 100. I'm pretty rusty on MLA formats and all that. I don't know. I'll figure it out. Hopefully soon. I couldn't get in touch with anyone at the college today so if I can't get them tomorrow I may just have to go down there. And maybe I'll check the mail while I'm at it.

I figured out that the "key spouse" for my group is a fellow OHO lady. I thought that was pretty cool. Speaking of OHO I gotta admit it makes me so sad to check out our deployments section because I feel like such a pansy. I mean a lot of ladies have to deal with 12-15 month deployments and here I am whining about one... well, one not that long. It is still the longest we've been apart and I don't like it! I mean I know that they aren't judging me I just feel like I should count my blessings you know? Ah...

Well that's pretty much all that's going on with me... oh... I made brownies. That's exciting. And Sky started a blog... in Korean no less. So I'm excited to see what he'll put in there. But back to my duties as a student.

Woo Hoo! Mail!!!

Today has been fairly productive if I should say so myself. I did some reading and submitted my GVPT quiz which now leaves the three conferences and chapter for GVPT and the chapter, quiz, midterm, and redoing a quiz for SOCY. Ugh... Not a fan of that. Plus I'm doing notes for my SOCY final and my hand hurts really bad... I digress.

So I talked to Sky for a while before he had to get ready for work and then I hoofed it down to the hospital to have my PCM sign my living will and then down to optometry to pick up my new contact prescription. I can't wait till we get my contacts ordered. Seriously... no sunglasses is killing me. I know I mentioned it before but that's how seriously I take my sunglasses. :p

Anyway, after that I headed over to the post office where I picked up some packages. One of them was my Wii Fit!!! Of course, since that thing is heavier than I anticipated and I decided to suck it up and not take a cab now I'm too exhausted to play it. lol I also got a package from my parents which included some really cute socks and an awesome set of make up! Danielle will be so proud. lol At first I was a little worried because it just comes in like this fairly large box and they don't have individual cases. Its essentially one big "pallet." But upon further inspection I discovered it came with like a compact that I can switch the colors in an out of. That makes me happy. I still need to figure out where I'm going to put it though. Its from the Ulta line and I can't wait to try some of it out... Need a reason though. I don't put make up on for the hell of it.

Well I'm going to eat and lay perfectly still for about 45 minutes. :p Really though. That was quite a haul. But then its back to work. :s

I'm still boring

So today pretty much all I'm doing is going to the post office and/or the commissary. I haven't decided yet which one or if I will do both. Other than that still doing school work and talking to Sky.

But if it makes you feel any better here is a funny picture my sister sent me.

Freakin hilarious! I love those guys.

I'm just awful

I had an appointment at the HAWC today and after all the talk about nutrition I came home and ordered a pizza. :s To be fair I don't know when I'll get to the store and it should feed me for a couple days. I'm making up a list tying to not drive myself insane. I'm taking the whole thing seriously but I'm not going to go overboard with it. Occasionally I'll have something not so healthy... like pizza. :D

Anyway, before that I had my dental appointment to get my night guard fitted. I was up before the sun was. Ugh... and it was snowing pretty hard and really windy out so that kind of sucked. But all worked out in the end.

I'm feeling sorta ick. I managed to read the two articles for sociology and now I just have chapter 11 and a quiz and then for government I have chapter 5 and 3 conferences and a quiz. Luckily its only Monday. Hopefully I can bring myself to choke down one of the chapters tonight. I have to stay up and call Wal-Mart anyway and hopefully get my contact prescription so I can get some new ones. This whole not wearing sunglasses thing is really killing me. I used to never go anywhere without sunglasses but now I can't help it because I can't see without my glasses. I mean, I can... but not well. lol Anyway, going to try and choke down a chapter...
