Mood:  caffeinated

Morning!

I think this will be a short entry; I need to work on finances. =)

Today is going to be really weird, via weather and when I pick up Flyboy. First off, the weather is going to start of at below freezing and reach a high of between 75 and 80! I ask you, what happened to our winter over here??? Then Flyboy has been recruited by the squadron to compete in a competition to ready the Wing for a huge inspection. (Apparently this is a yearly event) It is squadron verses squadron, each with four teams and four events. Then the final event is each Squadron Commander wagering the points his squadron earned for the win. (This is the first time we have heard about this. Last year there were too many things going on for the squadron to participate or something or other. I don’t know) So, Flyboy is competing in that. He practices today in his event and then sometime next week is the real deal.

Oh, and as of 15 Jan 09 flyboy is now a Senior Airman. Pretty cool… eh? He is scored really high on his EPR and is currently waiting on the Squadron Commander to return to work (He just got back from deployment) so he can sign in. Then it has to be pushed up the chain of command and then he gets to actually have his EPR paper in his hand he will get to spend billions of dollars on new stripes and patches and yadda, yadda, yadda, I am thrilled. Then of course the Finance Office has to get it (which takes forever). But yeah, he has been promoted =) Yay Flyboy. (He had to explain all this to me a few times because it just doesn’t make sense, so this is the best I can relay to you all. Lol)

I haven’t heard any out of Soldier, which means he is probably still busy with missions. My car has been starting AWESOMELY, now that we figured out the new trick. (Not locking it with the “clicky button” and locking it manually instead. It is AMAZING, I am so baffled by it, especially that I didn’t think of it myself, and also since it is SO simple. The car fires up like it was the middle of summer. It blows my mind! I am having a really hard time getting over it, really.

My finger is doing better, super glue is amazing. It finally sealed itself in the middle (kind of gross looking really), but the rest of it is still wide open, deep too. (I found this out after I got the super glue to come off, the last time I did that, I just reopened the wound and it started gushing blood, blah.) Anyway, I put some Neosporin on it and put it back in a band aid, it’s not giving me trouble at all. =)

Though speaking of trouble, I made some oatmeal for breakfast and was going to add some sugar, so I asked Flyboy if he would bring me the sugar. So he brought “it” to me and I put a bunch on my cereal, added some raisins and I eagerly took a big bite. The taste was instantly nasty, and I thought, these raisins are gross, okay, whatever, I can deal. Then I started to continue chewing (as much as you can chew oatmeal) and the taste just kept getting worse and worse then I realized, it wasn’t sugar he gave me it was salt!!!!!!!!!! OMG, I never thought you could ruin oatmeal until now. The thing is I have the sugar in an air tight mason jar (keeps sugar from hardening, especially brown sugar! I love my vacuum sealer!) Anyway, the sugar is kept with my spices, and the left over salt is put in the cabinet over the stove, I guess he forgot and grabbed the salt. (The labels had peeled off, but you can still tell the difference just looking at them. Sugar is shiny salt, not so much) but yeah, so I am still trying to get the taste out of my mouth. There’s nothing like a mouth full of salt drenched oatmeal for breakfast! Yuck!

Other than that, not much has been going on. I will probably have left over lasagna for lunch, since I didn’t really eat it last night for dinner. I was exhausted and had no appetite. I haven’t been sleeping too well. I mean I sleep, but I have been tossing all night. I think it could be due to the heat, it has been getting really warm at night, which is odd since I don’t have the heater turned up that high. I have it set under 70 degrees. (70 degrees, is just too hot for me).

Hmm… though speaking of that, this Saturday we are going over to Macho Nacho’s house. (He reminds me of a younger version of Cousin Richard, same build and humor, and “kids” are a dirty word in his house, right now, as in him having kids. He doesn’t mean it; he is just a macho, nacho type guy. He’d make a great uncle, or a great daddy one day, if he and his girlfriend decided to get married, they have been together for how long now? Lol) Anywho, he just got back from deployment and so he decided he is going to throw a welcome home type shindig at his place, and we have been invited, just as long as I bring apple crisp. (Like I did last time lol) Should be fun…

Well my tummy is rumbling, must mean it is snack time and that lunch is only a few more hours away! I need a hole puncher! That is what I forgot at the store. Flyboy and I went to the BX to pick up scale and I just couldn’t for the life of me remember what else I was there for. Well I remember now, and that was like 3 days ago!

Well it is snack time, so I am going to fix me one. =) Hope you all are doing well! Happy Thursday!!!!! (I don’t know, my tummy is taking nutrients from my brain I guess =S) Take care!

Love,
