Mood:  cool

Good morning!

I a bit sluggish today, had a hard time sleeping last night. I mean we slept, but it was very restless for some reason. Maybe it was from the “Whole grain Hamburger Helper”… hmm…

I am not saying anything bad about Helper, it was really good as whole grain. =) If we decided to eat it again in the future I will invest in more whole grain varieties.

I just got back from the store with the chicken I was unable to purchase yesterday. I also came home with some asparagus I had missed and some pork ribs. We haven’t had ribs in a while and I think Flyboy will be really excited when I pull them out of the oven this evening. Hehe. =D There have been some commercials for Sonic (it’s a fast food joint) and their new “sausage, biscuit and gravy dippers”. It is pretty much biscuits with sausage in the middle and you dip them in a cup of gravy. Well they look REALLY good and I know that they are going to taste nasty if we get them. (That is just how fast food works out here) So I picked up some biscuits, since I already have sausage, and that is what we are having for breakfast on Saturday, or Monday. (Flyboy has the next two Monday’s off. Yay! No “Blues” Monday’s for a while! Which is great too, because it will give me time to get his new stripes pinned on. He has been promoted to Senior Airman. He is excited. =) We are just waiting on his EPR (“progress report”) to show up so he can sign it and send it in. He thinks it should arrive around the 15^th of this month, but who knows. (So an email at work told him)

Today he won’t be getting off work until late this afternoon. Apparently the “Schedulers” haven’t been doing a good job while he was on leave and have screwed up a bunch of stuff. Typical… So Flyboy corrected everything and is stuck with “Snack Bar Duty” today. (No one was available…) He doesn’t mind it but it gets a bit boring and of course he is stuck there until like 1630 or so. (It at least gives me time to do ALL the dishes that for some reason piled up to the ceiling in 3 days. I mean I was here for 2 weeks by myself and didn’t even use half of the dishes that have been used in these last 3 days… hmm… I wonder who the culprit could be…)

Anywho, I made hotel reservations yesterday for the Cali trip. I have us scheduled for June 3^rd through June 13^th I believe it is like 10 nights or so, but I think it is enough time to visit everyone and show Flyboy around the town. It’s not THAT big of a town and at the rate things are going half of it will be shut down anyway. Blah.

We got to hear from Sleeveman yesterday. I feel bad for the comment I made on his Facebook page. He had mentioned something about being “happy at work” and I commented saying something along the lines of “did you get a new job?” And well, he called last night saying that he had asked his boss about his wage since minimum wage went up (this was a month or so ago, that wage went up, and no one working there had seen anything on their pay stubs) and so his boss said she would talk with the GM to see what his new rate would be. So they went back there to talk with the GM and the GM says “I thought we were going to cut his position”. So now Sleeveman is getting his job fought for by his boss. He will either get a raise or well yeah… What bothers me is that he does great at his job and the dummies that should get the boot aren’t. Maybe this is a good thing in a different light. I don’t know, but I feel bad for making the comment I did. I know it isn’t the reason the GM is being well *Grr* but still.

Though I wish Cali Cola luck on her interview! Rumor has it she might get a new job at video game store. Hehe do I hear the words “Employee Discount”??? =D I’m not materialistic; I just enjoy a good video game, especially at a steal of a price. LOL =D (I am in a very weird mood)

I think they are finally working on the apartment above us, or else the neighbors are stealing ALL of the large appliances. But it is really, REALLY loud. I’ve got planes doing transitions and stoves clunking down concrete stairs as well as the ticking of the living room clock. Oh and don’t forget the wind! I think I may invest in a pair of ear muffs.

I haven’t had a pair of those since I was in like 3^rd grade. I think they were pink, or blue or I just had two different pairs at two different times. Oh I don’t know…

Oh! I measured my self yesterday (we started up the calorie counter and working out again) and I have dropped from like one percent shy of 50% body fat to only 41% since November of last year. I think that is pretty good. =) I know it sounds really gross and those of you who haven’t seen me since 2005 are probably thinking “Oh my goodness, how fat did she get??” Well I am not THAT fat; I have lost a BUNCH since I have started getting my PCOS under control. It is the main cause. I mean I worked out for 4 weeks and should have dropped at least 3 inches and more than just water weight, but I didn’t. I lost nothing, until I saw the doctor and she figured out what was wrong with me. Now all of a sudden I’ve dropped 4 inches, everywhere! Flyboy thinks that I did loose what I was supposed to but it was delayed because my PCOS threw my body out of whack. Sounds logical to me… Even still, I was the same size that I was my freshman year in high school, it is just my muscle to fat ratio is where it shouldn’t be. But that is changing now; my body is doing what it should so now I can work out and actually make progress. =) I am really stoked. Though all I have to do now is figure out what to do with these knees. Grr.

Anyway, I think I need to eat something for breakfast before lunch comes around. My tummy is growling and I am afraid it may take me hostage if I don’t feed it. =S

Take care and stay warm!
