Good Morning!

I just wanted to let Sleeveman know that we got the package that Flyboy sent. I haven’t opened it yet though.

Flyboy made cashew chicken last night, it tasted pretty good. I didn’t have much of an appetite so I have some left over for lunch, unless Flyboy decided he would take it for lunch. (I didn’t pack his lunch this morning)

I slept alright last night, Flyboy thinks I am an insomniac, I just think I am a night owl. I didn’t get as much sleep as I would have liked, so I am really looking forward to sleeping tonight.

 =) LOL

Not much has been going on here, I need to do dishes again and some laundry. (I think we are out of towels) Then I have to pick flyboy up at I think around 1600 again, but I’m not sure. I can’t recall how training day goes. (Today is training day) It has been a while since the last one. I don’t want to text him until around lunch, just incase he is in a briefing. The last thing I want to do is get him in trouble. =/

It has been really warm here, as in 60 degrees as a high and 40 as a low. Today unfortunately it is very windy so I expect a LOT of Flyboy sneezes. Haha.

Oh we watched the BCS Championship game last night between OU and UF. Florida broke through Oklahoma’s defense like they were bushes in a park. Sad really, I know OU can do a lot better than that. I think OU would have had the game if they didn’t rush through every play in the first half. They rushed through each play so fast, that they made a bunch of careless errors and it was a very hard game to watch. Though I will say the Gators did awesome!

I don’t follow college sports nor professional anymore, but this is college football country and well, last night that was the only thing on the television. When I mean only I mean ONLY. I blame Oklahoma for ruining my desire to watch football on T.V or go to games. They are waaay over the top, when it comes to sports, football and basketball especially. I mean they have little league on the sports channel, and I don’t mean the championships, like with baseball. The have pewee (sp) football on the television WITH commentators that bet on which college is going to give them a scholarship…  You would think that it is alright since it gets the families together but the competitiveness between the parents and fans is worse than in the Hollywood movies.

Anyway, I am tired of talking about that. I think I am going to wash some dishes so I can decide what lunch will consist of. Left over Chinese, if it is still there, doesn’t sound too great. I don’t want “sweet”, you know?

Well I better go for now. Hope you guys have a great day! Take care!

Ello…

Flyboy is afternoon scheduler so that is why this post is so late in the afternoon. *yawn*

I didn’t sleep well at all last night, well didn’t sleep at all really. I had my alarm set everyday for 2000 as a reminder to take my pills. (These ones you have to be precise otherwise they screw stuff up) Well it never went off. I only suddenly remembered when Flyboy’s phone started buzzing from a text Sleeveman sent. I was an hour late. Blah. So Mr. Glucophage decided it would take revenge on my head and give me a nasty headache. A very unrelenting headache, which I still have now... I researched some more about it and it causes headaches because it interferes with your sugar levels. So I ate something, which did nothing but give me a tummy ache. I feel bad because Flyboy was restless in the process.

We had chili spaghetti last night for supper, which was a nice filler. I haven’t had lunch yet, and I know I should eat, but I am not feeling up to it. Hmm... Maybe some soup or something, yeah, I think I will do that. Now as what to cook for dinner, I’m lost.

While I was up I watched an interesting documentary about the Red Hat Society. It was started accidentally by this lady who saw a red hat in a thrift shop. She decided to be impulsive and buy it. Realizing that she hadn’t done anything like this in a while, and seeing how happy it made her feel, she decided to find one for her friend who was turning 55 the following week. She was reminded of the poem Warning, by Jenny Joseph…

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens...

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

So she decided to get her friends together, wear red hats and purple clothes and go out for tea. It slowly became a mini club that helped connect a bunch of women with similar life experiences and it just grew from there. There are a bunch of different chapters all over the world. I really enjoyed the history about it and what it means to these women. It kind of makes me look forward to becoming 50 with all of my friends. =)

Anywho… There isn’t much going on here. We are patiently awaiting Flyboy’s EPR and the month of June. As well as some feed back on Soldiers’ mission… I just would like to know when he makes it back and that he is still in one piece and the same with his buddies.  But that is pretty much it.

Oh, I know this is late, just like the package; we are glad that Power Presto likes the penguin sheets we found! I hope The Josh likes his kimono. I really wished it would have shown up on time. I find it odd that it took twice as long. I sure hope you guys in WA are doing alright. When Sleeveman texted Flyboy, he was saying that he was stuck in traffic because of flooding.  The weather guy said there is more rain on its way over there. Eeek. It looks nasty up there, kind of like when Katrina hit, except for some minor things that I may get reprimanded for commenting on, so I won’t. haha.

I think I better check on my soup, I decided on clam chowder. Speaking of clam chowder, I wonder if the Jetty is still open… I know that is definitely a place where I want to take Flyboy when we come out to visit. I really hope he enjoys it. I hope Soldier decides to drive back there with us. It would save us both a very shiny penny. LOL And even more so if gas prices don’t go higher than I estimated them at. Like I say, it is better to over estimate than underestimate.

Really quick, soup is done and I am very hungry. Flyboy’s trip to the grocery store for Snack Bar turned out to be a trip to Sam’s Club. He liked that.

Well I really should be going now. I have to reheat my soup… =( it got cold. Well, take care everyone! We miss you!

 I think that today's entry will be a short one. For some reason I am not feeling up to "par". I got the car to start again; I am pretty excited about that. Though I don’t want to say too much, for fear I will jinx the record. It is 26 this morning, with a wind chill of 20. Yet still, no snow. Slightly irritating...

Oh! We saw the most interesting and random documentary last night. It was a documentary about the type face Helvetica. These guys decided to create a printed font and it all started off with a hand sketch of each letter. It took them a long while because they wanted every detail to be perfect. That was back in the 50’s or 60’s (I don’t recall which, it was late last night) But anyway, all the signs you see today, advertisements, government names, documents, even the 1040EZ is written in Helvetica. I am writing in it now. It was very interesting. I think some of you would enjoy watching it.

Oh, the ribs turned out very well. Flyboy was pretty excited. He is stuck doing Snack Bar duty again today and isn’t very thrilled about it. I think it also doesn’t help that he has to go shopping for the Snack Bar to replace the supplies. Apparently the Snack Bar responsibilities have changed since he was on leave, and he had to raise the “B.S” flag yesterday when the D.O. was starting to chew him out because he didn’t go to the store to restock the Snack Bar. Originally, there was a person designated from each squadron in the building to take care of making a list and restocking the supplies, but now, whoever happens to be the person on Snack Bar duty when supplies run out has to go shopping. Dumb, yes I know. He’s not too happy about it either, especially since there was no email about it and he was on leave for 2 weeks. Flyboy just messaged me and is more frustrated because they only gave him 250 bucks to restock EVERYTHING. They are out of pretty much everything, so yeah. I just hope he gets some of all that is needed instead of maxing out a few on the list. I think I should probably message him that. No offense to him, but men in general and men in the morning, don’t tend to think to their full capacity. Haha.

I don’t know if there is anything else to update on. I did the dishes… It will be the last time I do them too until he figures out that pans and bowls need to soak. It’ll be up to him to do them if he wants to cook dinner and leave the food encrusted pot overnight on the stove. I am a bit tired of that. I know, I know, it’ll be worse when/if we have kids… I know… I would like to think I can kick in the pants now, I was doing great there for a while…

Anywho, I haven’t seen my squirrel around for a while, I wonder if he froze to death, or if some little kid decided to eat him. (I only say that because when I was little my aunt would take me to the park and I always wanted to catch the squirrels so I could eat them. At least that is how my fuzzy memory remembers it.) Oh, I named him too… Sherwood Fuzzy Feet. =)

I think I am going to unload the dishwasher (I use it as a drying rack) and then maybe work on some flash cards. I have really fallen behind on those. I feel bad, but you know, he could help with them too. I mean I only have so many pictures in my head, like Word Clip Art, and sooner or later they are going to be all used and I will have to download new images. Except my max includes Word Clip Art and all that you can download, so… you can see the dilemma.

Anywho, it is time for some hot cocoa and something blue. I don’t know. The greatest phrase I heard yesterday… “In my world… everyone is a pretty pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies!!” *smiles form ear to ear* It was a clip from Horton Hears a Who. It was pretty random. But yeah… I need to go; it is freezing in the “office”. Take care! Love ya!

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!

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!!!

~NikiRose

Mood:  cheeky

I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! If I haven’t gotten a hold of you yet, I will try again later. I know everyone is SO busy today. Hehe. I hope Santa brought lots of presents!

I have heard from Soldier, he is doing alright, and… he has an ADDRESS!!! I know he sent out a mass email to friends and family,  if you didn’t get one, it is probably because he doesn’t have your email, don’t fret.=) If you would like his email, just email me, I will be more than happy to send it to you!

I know I haven’t been writing much, well not really at all. I have been really busy with organizing and cleaning and trying to stay warm, it is FREEZING out here, yet no snow… =(

Anyway, I HAD to write something today, it is Christmas for goodness sakes! I am excited; Flyboy is coming home in about 7 days! I am really glad that he is having fun over there. I really wish I could have come, but there is a reason for everything. (Soldier’s old bank has been giving me issues, blah, they are SOO backwards it isn’t even funny)

I am getting pretty excited. I have been able to get a good “aura” back in this place. Not that there was a bad one, just a foggy, dusty/dirty like one. If THAT makes any sense… haha. I have a thing with feng shui and auras in the place that I live, it really bugs me if something doesn’t “fit”. I will end up reorganizing or redecorating or rearranging until it has that nice feel to it. Poor Flyboy… Every time he flies or goes TDY when he comes back I have changed something in the house to fix the “feel” of the place. I can’t imagine what it will be like if we are ever able to have kids…

I had fun talking to Princess today, thank you Aunt C and Uncle D, I enjoyed talking to you guys too! I think I am going to try calling the rest of the family that I was unable to reach a half hour ago.

Once again,

~Niki

Mood:  hungry

Good morning.

I was really tired last night and kind of crashed early. I do thank Flyboy for updating the post after the doctor’s appointment.

My thyroid is perfectly fine; however I tested 100% for PCOS. Fun times. The doctor was excited though, she had never seen a 100% before through a blood test. There were some that were close, but not dead on. So I guess this is a good thing that she knows what is going on with me. She decided to put me on a Provera for ten days which will send me into super period, since I haven’t had one for 8 months. Then after the ten days I start on birth control pills to help regulate and I guess, well start a cycle again. She also has me on Glucophage to help with losing weight, and she thinks it may help indirectly with this whole female deal. I say, anything is worth a shot, because frankly this just blows.

So that was my day yesterday. Today is laundry day, and I already have a load in the dryer and another one just started in the washer. Then after lunch I will start cooking all the meat and freezing it. I am sure I will log back on and add more as the day goes by. I mean its 600 right now and I haven’t been up long enough to even have an adventure.

I think I am going to have some breakfast and do the dishes from last night. I hope you guys slept well, I have a feeling today is going to be a very busy day.

Ta ta for now!

P.S........................

Aunt Ray and Uncle Emmett!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey guys! I just wanted to let everyone know that Flyboy made it safely to Momma Mouse’s place. Sleeveman, Cali Cola and her dad picked him up at the airport, so they didn’t have to ride the bus. Thank you!!! =)

PowerPresto was SOOO excited. The way Flyboy describe it was a sudden balloon pop of energy and 90 mile a minute talking. Hehe. I am glad they are excited to see him. =)

His first flight took off around 5 after 600 and his second flight took off around 830. That is why I was up so early. I am glad I was though; it kind of feels good to have that much laundry done in what seems like not a lot of time. I feel ahead of schedule. I am SO glad that the nasty little storm that was predicted to hit us today has waited until this evening. I was so worried that there was going to be an over night lay over for him.  O_o

I think I am going to start on some chores, hehe. But first, a bottle of water, I am just really thirsty for some reason. Eek!

Take care!

Love,

Hey there everybody!

Flyboy here with a short update on today's happenings.  Niki is in bed resting, not feeling all too well.  We had gone to the doctor and found out that she has Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which basically has disrupted her cycle of periods, among other things.  While it is a relief to finally know what is going on with her, it is also distressing because PCOS makes getting pregnant a little more difficult.  However, as I was quick to point out to Niki, that does not in any way mean that she is unable to bear children! It just means that her ovaries don't always produce an egg, and with no egg comes no 'spark'.

Other than that, we have recieved a cream to get rid of our itchiness, which I say has come almost a little late... itchiness is very annoying, I must say.  

Well, I must get back to my crew rest.  I told you that this was going to be short! 

Mood:  a-ok

Hello everybody!

Sorry I didn’t post over the weekend, it was kind of a messy blur. I will try to recall everything that went on, but don’t be mad if I don’t have  enough detail. First off,

**SOLDIER UPDATE** > Well it’s not really too exciting, but he replied back to me and he says he has been having trouble with the internet connections over there. That is why he hasn’t been able to correspond as much as he wants to. It is really frustrating him. =/ But, he is doing okay, I mean he wrote back! =) There wasn’t much to the reply, like I said it kept kicking him off, so he would lose his work. He just had a couple questions about Mandatory Leave. Yes, I did ask him about a mailing address for him, and I am waiting on his reply for that. Its killing me! =)

Friday was a mess. I was suppose to go grocery shopping in the morning and Flyboy decided that instead of hitting the snooze button or waking me up that he would just turn the alarm off. So my morning was kicked off to a very late start. Flyboy didn’t have to be at work until around lunch time because of how late he landed Thursday night. I mean I could o grocery shopping around 800 but it is SO packed and SO noisy and really I can’t stand the snobby spouses! They are SO rude! Not to mention their lack of ability to control their children in the store. Though I will say at the medical clinic, the kids are very well behaved. Though I think that might be because the eerie quiet and the “if you take one step out of line we will kill you” feeling, that surrounds the place. I mean that in a light hearted manner, but it really is eerie there, I don’t know what it is. Oh and immunizations is worse, not to mention the waiting room is small and always packed. Strange...

Saturday we spent most of the day shopping, wrapping and budgeting. Well it was more like we shopped, but I wrapped and budgeted, oh well. Then after that was taken care of, it was video game. Thank you Sleeveman… I am now addicted to Golden Sun and I can’t find part two! Needless to say I have had about 4 hours of sleep since Saturday until now. VERY bad I know. But I just couldn’t put it down, I have no idea what was with me.

Monday was my doctor’s appointment that I didn’t go to and had to reschedule thanks to Flyboy… We had laid down for a nap before the appointment and he decided to turn the alarm off. I have no idea what is up with him regarding this. It has never been an issue before. My head tells me to wake up, and I see that it is ten minutes until the appointment, so we rush out of the house and jump in the car only to find, it won’t start. Yay winter!  I tell you, this car drives me insane, but in the summer it’s awesome. Anyway, he thinks it is a bright idea to tell them we are running behind, so what do they do, they cancel my appointment and tell me they will call back in 3 to 5 days. My fist appointment, a few weeks ago, we were 5 minutes late because we got lost in the building, and they didn’t cancel. The doctor had set an hour slot for me, 5 minutes would be okay. Don’t get me wrong I am very punctual, and it bugs me to not be. I mean if I am even a couple seconds behind schedule I start stressing. That of course is only if it is a set time when I have to be there. Blah, blah, blah… blah.

Well not a few minutes ago they called up and they have an opening to see me at 1320. Flyboy gets off at noon today so that fits in just perfectly. The only other opening would be after the 6^th of January.  So, I guess that means I should probably update this right after my appointment, otherwise that would just me mean I guess I if I made you all wait until tomorrow. Hehe =)

Apparently today it is not going to get above freezing, so all of the precipitation we have been getting this morning is going to stick. It was very icy out this morning; I really wasn’t expecting that much.

I really wish I had more to talk about at the moment. Maybe I need to eat something and that way my mind will be less distracted form my tummy. Haha. I am hoping for more snow than ice this year. I would really like to make a snowman in my little backyard/enclosed patio thing, and a good snowball fight wouldn’t be too bad either!

I am going to go for now. I wish this was longer. =/ I will keep you posted about later this afternoon. Wish me luck! Take care and stay warm! Love you guys!

Okay, I have been meaning to tell you all this, but I just now remembered it.

BACK STORY > A while ago when we went to Mississippi Mom’s, I needed to borrow a shirt, since all of mine were in the wash and she wanted to take me out to the store with her. Anyway, the shirt she let me borrow says “Proud ARMY Mom” in HUGE letters. It’s a nice grey T-shirt and very comfortable. She said that I can give it back to her later so somehow it wound up here, with me. (I keep forgetting to bring it when I visit, sorry.)

Now for the funny part… When I went to Bliss, Flyboy decided to hang out it some friends of ours, the ones I babysit for, well anyway, Flyboy was invited to go over there to play games and hang out. So that morning they went running, came back to his house and played games. Well Flyboy packed some clothes to change into afterwards, and didn’t pay attention to what he was grabbing. Needless to say the only shirt he had the WHOLE day, was “Proud ARMY Mom”! They even went out to dinner that night. Poor thing, but it was really funny.

Speaking of Flyboy, he is doing what he does best today… flying. I have a feeling he might get diverted tonight, seeing how cold and icy it is, I hope that is not the case, but I’d rather him safe and somewhere else than trying to come home when it isn’t safe. Though I tell ya, he didn’t even think to pack of change of clothes… Don’t worry; I stuffed them in his bag. Sometimes I wonder. (Lol)

Anyway, today is going to mainly consist of, first LUNCH, then more laundry and some dishes that he didn’t soak last night and some living room organization and rearranging. Oh and some web surfing. I am thinking about investing in a carpet shampooer. I just need more, clean. (I think I am losing my mind)

Speaking of mind losing, no I am not talking about you, The King, =) hehe just teasing. Flyboy’s buddy with the house, he has been pushing it on to a new airman in the flight. She has no clue and just got there, AND he is feeding her lies. I knew we made the right decision. He’s telling her that the house has been on the market for less than a month! On the Realtor’s site it says much different. The poor thing, I hope she doesn’t fall for it. I am sorry, but I don’t like sleazy business practices.

Oh, I am sure you are wondering, my chicken quesadillas were awesome! Hehe. I got back from the store with the supplies and then grilled them up. I ended up getting milk and cheese too. I know we were out of milk but wasn’t sure about cheese. Turns out it was a good decision, since come to find out, we were out. Oh, I also need to write a grocery list that is also what the day will consist of, list making. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeee!

Hmm... I hope he brought is flight gloves. I don’t remember seeing them in his bag; hopefully they are in his jacket. We were a little rushed this morning; I forgot what day it was and hit the snooze button. He was on time though. I kind of feel bad, hitting the snooze and all. I broke him of the waking up at the first alarm at 530. That used to drive me absolutely nuts in the beginning. He would do that on my days off and wanted to start the day before the day started itself. (That was of course back when I was working 10 hour days with one 30 minute break, driving him to base ((20 miles)) then from there to my work ((30 miles)) then from my work to base to pick him up ((30 miles)) and then to home ((20 miles)) not to mention the stressful traffic and the scary roads) So yeah, my days off, sleeping in was very much needed, if not until noon, at least until 800. Now he’s like me when it comes to the snooze button, if not worse. =S

Anyway, I just switched the laundry over and got a GREAT idea on how to rearrange the bedroom! So I NEED to go before I loose my motivation. I will try to come back an add some more. I know I definitely have to come back to answer Uncle D’s email.

Talk to you all later! Miss you! Take care!!

I am back, Kinda of. I just wanted to say, he didn't forget his gloves, they were no where to be found and I remembered taht I made a not of them last night when I was centering his patches on his jacket. Anyway, he did forget however, his tags. That is a first though. I blame the fact that he didn't put them where he normally does, this time he put it on our dresser. =P I really wish I would have noticed it before he left. Maybe I should get a second set for him lol. That way if he forgets it on the dresser again, he'll have one in his flight suit. Men...

Speaking of the little forgetters, when I was in Bliss, I embarassed Soldier pretty bad. SCORE! We were standing outside in front of his barracks waiting for 1315 to roll around so he could get his orders and I noticed his uniform was SOOOOOO unkempt. (I think that is the right word) Anyway, I ask him if I could use his pocket knife, and willingly he gave it to me, and I just started cutting strings. I mean STRINGS! I have no idea how he has passed uniform inspections, but with this many strings he totally would have been recycled in basic. lol. You know those plastic balls at the store that have .79 cent nylons in it, well I could have filled about 1 and a half of those with nothing but strings. His Sgts were walking by rolling their eyes. I hope I didn't embarass him too much. He did thank me though. =) Flyboy is pretty good about keeping his uniform stringless but every once in a while some will get past him. It always helps to have a second pair of eyes, especially woman eyes! HA! ;D hehe.

Well I am going to get back to my rearranging. I still have a lot more to do. I Have the bed moved, which consisted of taking it apart and moving it and the 9 drawer dresser is moved in the direction I want to put it in. lol. I am doing laundry in between, and figured clean bedding would add a nice touch to the newly moved room. lol Flyboy washed them last week, but I think I will wash them again, it's one of those head things. He says he washed them but I didn't get to seem them get washed so, it bugs me. You know? Maybe it is just me and the weird groupies in my head trying to take my mind over. I don't know.

But I am going to go for now. Talk to you guys later!
