Mood:  on fire

Good Freezing Morning! =)

I have a bunch to update on… obviously… LOL

Hmm… where to start…

This morning I went grocery shopping, they were out of chicken, which of course, is the primary meat on my shopping list. So I will have to go back tomorrow or later this evening.  I am excited though, got out of there for less than a $100, would have been even less if I didn’t have to get coffee supplies for Flyboy’s flight. They were out of coffee, cups and creamer, so it was requested that I purchase the supplies since I was the only spouse awake (out of the 4 from the flight) and at the commissary to boot. Don’t worry; I am having the cost be deducted from the annual “flight dues”. (In order to have squadron functions and flight functions, we have to fundraise, volunteer and pay “dues” that are regulated by your pay grade. You are able to pay monthly or annually, we pay annually.)

Flyboy is off early today, well if you call noon early… The guys take turns being schedulers and you either get the morning or afternoon shift, flyboy lucked out and got the morning one. =)

I finally got new tires for the car. I am embarrassed to say that my tread was very close to being illegal. Not to worry, it is all fixed now. Though I do say I find the “balancing your tire” charge is appalling! The wanted $5 bucks a tire to balance them!!! I know that doesn’t sound like much, but being that I have balanced tires before, it is NOT a $5 job PER TIRE, nor is the weight $5 either. I mean, I bought the tires from them, paid for the disposal fee (I am fine with that) and the valve stem fee (I am fine with that too) but $5 bucks a tire to balance them??? The lady even asked if I wanted them balanced… you would think that it would be included in the tire purchase and installation but noooooo. Blah!

I got the house all cleaned up and rearranged. Flyboy now has himself a little “office” where he can study and watch me cook. (I don’t know why but he likes watching me cook. I think golf is more entertaining than watching someone cook, but that is just me I guess) He is really excited about it too. =)

Speaking of Flyboy, he made it home okay, all in one piece. I was lucky and he landed before midnight and met me in the terminal 5 minutes before the New Year was rang in.  I can’t believe how much I missed him. It didn’t really hit me until he got back. Weird. But I am really glad he is home!

I have been doing some more research on PCOS and the medication I am taking. Apparently Glucophage is not only used to help diabetics, it also helps to cause ovulation. The doctor is really trying to get stuff working. Haha. I wish her luck… I have also noticed that my wisdom teeth are kind of coming in. I knew three of them were breaking through the gums and it wasn’t a big sweat but number 4 decided it would come in where ever it wanted to and cause a bunch of pain… and headaches. So I am waiting for our paperwork to process, since apparently TRIcare is medical only and doesn’t cover dental. Wish we would have been told that. Fun times. I LOVE surprises!!

Oh! The Cali trip has been moved to June instead of May like we had planned. Flyboy and I sat down and got official numbers and crunched them last night. It is cheaper to go in June and pick up BlueEyez and then fly her back instead of flying her out and back. Blah, Blah, Blah, yadda, yadda, yadda. We are also hoping to drive out with Soldier, which would save both of us a few shiny pennies. But I have to discuss that with Soldier first.

***SOLDIER UPDATE***

Soldier has been temporarily promoted to Corporal and he won’t be able to contact us for a while. I don’t know how long but I know it is because of a support mission they are doing. He is in charge of it too, that’s why he has been promoted. Pretty cool!! Though it stinks because he won’t get paid as a Corporal even though he is being forced to take on Corporal responsibilities, on the field. The reason for the temporary rank is to keep order over the soldiers he is in charge of. (E-3’s don’t have to listen to E-2’s)

So, to answer everybody’s question, the address format is still the same. Just leave it is E-2. Speaking of letters, letters would be awesome. I sent him one on Christmas Eve and he got it on Jan 2. If you still don’t have an address for him, email me or call me, my number and address is still the same. =)

So far he is still on for his Cali trip from June 2nd to June 20^th, and I will keep everyone posted on that.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and that your New Year is starting off on the right foot, or left foot, however. I am going to start cooking meat and blanching veggies. Take care!!!
