Mood:  silly

I know, I know, it’s 0340, I should be in bed. I am really tired and accidentally screwed up my sleeping pattern by having late night coffee on Saturday. =S I honestly didn’t realize how late it was until I noticed Flyboy doing his “sleepy eye rub” haha. (He doesn’t even realize he does it! I think that is the funny part because he seems so surprised that I know when he is tired. =D)

Anyway, I won’t write for too long, my hands are cold. (Maybe I should type with glove on or something?)Flyboy was suppose to have today off, it being his birthday and all, but a bunch of guys at work have been ditching important meetings and well, no more scheduled off days this week. =/ So, he has to take his birthday-comp day on the 10 of Oct. But, he at least gets a half day! (He gets to come home after the Wing picture) We have decided to just make this WHOLE week a LONG birthday week. (With the exception of Friday, that is a catering event we have volunteered to help with. And knowing Flyboy he probably put us down for the night shift… which means he’ll be extra tired…) By LONG week I mean he has a 4 day weekend this weekend, in fact he has two 4 day weekends in a row! I am beginning to think he has more days off than school kids! Lol. Better not say too much more, I might jinx it. He wants to do his birthday dinner later in the week, and hang out with Radar on Thursday, and today, he will get his surprise after he gets home. (hehe, he has no clue =D) I will definitely take a few pictures and I will post them before we sit down for dinner (birthday sandwiches… go figure)! I am really excited too! (All his other birthdays, he has been flying =/)

Oh I want to say thank you Moma Mouse for the tips with the dryer. I unplugged it and got back there with vacuum and it seems to be drying quicker! =D

I can’t believe September is already over; well technically it won’t be over until Wednesday, but still. October will fly by fast too; it is a pretty busy month for us. Of course this is Flyboy’s Birthday Week, so that will be busy, this Friday is the catering event, I need to finish cleaning and unpacking before the following Friday (10^th) because my mom is coming out to visit! =D hehe. Then the following week is payday, and he has a few flights in there as well as a couple other volunteer events… Then Bam! November… My goodness…

Oh, the weirdest thing… I had gotten some new hand lotion and some new deodorant (they were on sale) and the lotion smells like chocolate chip cookie dough and the deodorant smells like smarties! Weird combination to have on I tell ya.  I didn’t realize it until Flyboy was like, you smell weird dear. What have you been cooking today? I was slightly insulted at first but after we figured it out, it was funny. The odd thing though (this story isn’t as funny written out as it is in my head, sorry.) The deodorant is suppose to smell like blueberries (I don’t like the strawberry one. I am a bit burnt on strawberry smelling stuff) and the lotion is cocoa and Shea butter. (That makes a bit more sense, but it is still weird) So the lesson from this story is smell EVERYTHING before you buy it… yes, even pets. hehe  

I think I am getting a bit too tired I think I may take a shower to wake up a bit. I should jump in there soon though, it’s almost 0500. The alarm goes off in about and hour and a half and I don’t know how long it takes the hot water to… refill? Is that the word I’m looking for? I don’t know. *shrugs* I know you all know what I am talking about though, so it really doesn’t matter. Ha! I think I will make him breakfast when he gets up. He generally has coffee on the way to work and then eats the breakfast that I pack him in his lunch box. Don’t worry, he has lunch in there too and small healthy snacks to boost the metabolism. I am thinking breakfast burritos… fluffy eggs, cheddar cheese, onions, hash browns (possibly), bacon (I found some ends and pieces at Wal-Mart!!! I cooked them up in the George Foreman and tossed them in the freezer) and maybe some sausage, if we have it of course. Since he should be home for lunch I am either thinking my grilled chicken wraps (grilled chicken, homemade honey mustard dressing ((vinegar, honey, mustard, olive oil)) fresh spinach and some Tomato and Basil Wheat Thins, to give it a tomato flavor and a crunch) or my crazy salad (lettuce, fresh spinach, chopped baby carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes ((if I have them. I don’t like them so they are only bought on special request)); little bit of peanuts, crushed Tomato and Basil Wheat Thins, and Fiber One ((the twiggy looking kind)), a pinch of cheese and of course my dressing). I am not a big fan of salads, I like mine simple… a lot of cheese and some lettuce/spinach. Flyboy on the other hand LOVES it. The salad ingredients change, because, well, I like experimenting when I cook. Hehe. Flyboy seems to enjoy it too, so, why not? I was thinking about putting some mandarin oranges on it, but I forgot to get some last payday. Oh well.

Holy Cow!! If I am going to shower I better do it now. I will be right back…

Okay, I’m back. That didn’t take too long. Great… Of course, right after I get out of the shower (the very warm shower) the AC kicks on… That means… it’s blanket time! *burr* I know, I could turn up the AC so it is warmer, but then it gets too hot. I haven’t been able to find that happy medium yet. I know I like it really cold, I LOVE snuggling underneath my covers, teehee, but I don’t like it so cold that I have to wear socks. (My feet freeze too easily…thanks mom. =/ anyway… breakfast… what do you think? I think I am really hungry right now and will have a hard time waiting until Flyboy wakes up. I know I can resist, must… think… about… puppies! I could start tidying up from the lazy weekend right now, but I lack the energy, if only I could move things with my mind… *ponders* that would be pretty cool though. Sitting back and relaxing in your favorite chair and just telling the house to clean up it’s self. Hehe the whole early morning “honey, I can’t find [insert object]. Do you know where it is?” situation, and you really don’t want to get out of bed to get it because you know if you tell him where it is you’ll get into the, “what? I didn’t hear you”

“It’s in the…”

“In the drawer, which one?”

“I just told you”

water running while he’s shaving, so he isn’t really paying attention to your answer because he doesn’t want cut himself, conversation. So you pry yourself out of bet to fetch it for him, even though you technically don’t need to be up for another 45 minutes. Instead you could just {insert object} and tell it appear on the sink countertop, roll over and snuggle underneath those warm, cozy blankets. Though I think it would get old after a while. Then of course if you forget about the ability…

Anyway, I think I am going to find everything I need to make this oh, so fancy breakfast. Hmm.. hot cocoa would be tasty too. Ooh! And we even have, wait, aww, no, we ran out of whipped cream last week. Grr, oh well. I could do, cocoa coffee =D I know he likes that. Yay me! I am going to go for now. I will write more about the plans today (they aren’t that extravagant, but I am still excited) after I take him to work. (He can’t read my blog from the computers there unless he goes to the library, which he will be stuck doing pictures so I really don’t have to worry about that). I shall return in a matter of about 3 hours? Possibly?

Lesson #1 – Food coloring … stains

Mental Note #1 – Food coloring is an OUTside project

Okay, time to relax-ish. My whole surprise was to bake him a cake. (See I told you it wasn’t that exciting) However this is my first “official” cake, made all by myself. After poking and prodding Flyboy, slyly, I found out that he really, really likes German Chocolate Cake. (I knew that, but I wanted to double check. His taste buds seem to change with his moods. Go figure) So, I decided I would bake him a cake. What, oh what to make it look like… hmm… Since this is last minute idea, it can’t be too complicated… oh! I know!! A Rotor dome! His cake looks like an AWACS rotor dome. Hehe =D He is going to love it! I can’t wait! Yes, I took pictures and in a minute here I am going to upload them onto the computer. When he gets home I will take more. I feel so mean, =D, he asked if we could buy a cake and I told him “I don’t know, they are really expensive now days” He looked really sad, “I know. Okay, hmm, what else can we do?” I was being honest, so I guess I am not that bad, but I can’t wait for him to grin from ear to ear. I know I am only going to post one picture, I would post all four of them but it would be a little pointless being that they are the same picture. (I was just getting a bunch that way I could pick the best one. the lighting isn’t too good in the kitchen. Maybe I could open the blinds and let in some natural light… hmm I don’t know.

I had some coffee this morning, but I am still tired. I am starting to loose my boost. I can’t crash now; I have to go grocery shopping in the morning. I have laundry going and I cleaned up some, and I finished the cake. I am making some progress. Speaking of progress, I need to call up my previous employer and get an update. The last time I called she had called the bank up to dig for an old check because the hospital was giving her the run around. I think I will do that. I shall update when I get off the phone. Ta ta for now =)

Hello, I’m back again. I took the pictures and because there were so many, I decided to put them into a slide show. (I am running out of free space on this site and I am not ready to start paying for more space yet). Plus when you watch the slide (I wish it would go faster) it seems like you are actually watching the event, live. Maybe that could just be me. I don’t know. I like it and therefore that’s how it will be. I did take pictures of half the apartment, but I won’t put them up until I take pictures of the rest of the place. I need to check on laundry and Flyboy is getting hungry now. Hope everyone is having a good day so far! Take care! Good night!
