Bored

This afternoon I am really bored. What do you guys do when your bored?

Oh man, Oprah looks awful these days. Is it just me?? This is not the best picture but if anyone saw her interview today with Elizabeth Edwards, this is what I am refering to.

To Vacation or to not.....

Kevin and I have been talking about what we/he should do with his block leave. Since my job search has been less than successful (up until this point) we don't have a ton of money. When Kevin left and I was working we should have had a small fortune (that's an exageration...) saved and were going to vacation to Vegas and NYC. Well that is out of the question at this point. If all goes well and *fingers crossed* I get this job with Tierra Vista we will be able to get out of town for a long weekend, at least. Hopefully. Well we have been discussing our options. We are thinking about going to Fresno for 2 days than heading to San Fransisco for a few more. Yes this is more than a "long weekend"... looking like approximately a week. I have never been to SF before so I think it would be a great place. But there are actually so many other places that I would like to go. What about Vegas? Chicago? Seattle? San Diego (not JUST because my MIL and FIL are there... but because it's great, relaxing to me)? LA? Orlando? D.C.?

So tell me folks where are you going? Or where would you recommend visiting?

The Interview

I just got home from my interview with Tierra Vista. It went really well and the girl, Jennifer hinted that she liked me. We chatted briefly about my resume, than discussed her life (marry guy, divorce guy, re-marry same guy, and now getting divorced again! OIY!), where we went to high school , TriCare, the company and then voila the interview was over. I think that it went well and that she really did like me but we'll see. It's hard to get too confident or comfortable with this job market you know? Well ladies keep your fingers crossed just a few more days- time will tell!!!

Other than that I don't have much that I CAN report. Things have been going on in my world but it's not my business to broadcast. So unfortunately I can't blog away about my woes. I hope everything works out and we can all go back to being happy and living in a world filled with love and marshmallows! =)

PS: FRG fundraiser isn't going that well! =( I need $200 by the 16th! urg... Who has spare cash!!!? :-p

Be good, Be easy, Be safe, Stay positive out there ladies! =)

VICTORY!!!!

So I've been blogging about my weight loss and I am SOOOOO very happy to report that I am down 20 LBS!!! I am very proud of myself. It's taken a while but I figured a pound - 3 a week less is better than maintaining or gaining weight that I am not comfortable with and that isn't healthy for my person!! So, I stuck with it even though I didn't get that huge like 10 LBS loss every week. I think that we are secretly hope to wake up the perfect weight/size one day out of the blue. Well I'm here to tell you it doesn't work that way. =) I'm sticking with it and have another goal to loss 20 more lbs. People freak out when I tell them that but honestly I am not going to be like 110 or anything- I will still be healthy!

I gotta run meeting Miss. Kaitlyn at the gym!

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!!!

Ut oh.... Here it comes!

PEOPLE! Here is yet another video on BitchAssNess! Keeping in mind the current outbreak of the Swine Flu this made me laugh and giggle! If you are needing a pick-me-up today please check this out!

Something awful... It rocked my world!

Ok ladies, I'm not sure if any of you have been faced with something like this before but I hope for your sakes- not. So today I was driving down Academy Blvd (a major road here in Colorado Springs) and there is this cemetery on the right that I pass probably a dozen times a week. Every now and again I'll see a funeral taking place, people gathered around tombstones or chairs set up beneath a tent. But today as I was driving by I glance over casually; my eyes immediately drawn to flag-draped casket in the distance. I saw the tent with chairs filled with family and friends... I don't know why it really went the way it did but a thousand thoughts passed through my mind and I started crying immediately. I was completely overwhelmed but couldn't force myself to look away. I don't know why but when I glanced over casually (as I usually do when I drive by) I became fixated and as emotional as the sight was to see... I couldn't stop. Granted this entire experience lasted all of 2 minutes tops, while I was stopped at the light. All of a sudden I was being honked at; which startled me but got me moving past what I was staring at. Either way it motivated me to get going. I cried like a fool all the way home.

I'm not really sure what else to say about this but really I just needed to get it off my chest!

Birthday

I think today is a special day... yes it pretty much was a special day! Yeah, as you all know it was my birthday. I started off going to breakfast with my Pops- biscuits and gravy!!! Yumm! Then I headed to the salon to get my hair did! I wish I could post a picture of that but now it's flat and not looking so good- I will post a picture ASAP. Well, I do love the way it turned out and I think I finally found a stylist that I like and will stick with. My hair and then my Blackberry are my birthday presents from the hubs. So romantic right?? Well it's what I wanted! wooo woo! THANKS babe!

Here's a few pictures of some if the sweetness which was bestowed upon me on this glorious day:My BFF Amanda sent me this great arrangement from Baton Rouge, LA.!

Nathan accidently popped one of my balloons! So this sad flat one laying on my dining table actually should be flying with the others! That's ok though. My sister and Kaitlyn stopped by this morning wth balloons, cheesecake, cards and goodness!! =) I love me some balloons! A birthday isn't a birthday without balloons and blow of candles, right? Well I guess 1 out of 2 isn't so bad right? I got the balloons but I never actually got to make a wish and blow out my birthday candles. =( Yes, this makes me sad but it's not for lack of trying. After my day I met my mother and Wayne for dinner at Zio's. It was great (as usual- but way to much food)! They told the waiter it was my birthday and he brought this very dense chocolate/truffle cake- alamode. The cake was a little too dark and truffle-y for my taste but the ice cream saved it. BUT no candle!

After dinner I had plans with my friend Amy. We decided on going to a movie she checked the times and said either 730 or 855. Well 730 came and went and I hadn't heard from her (I texted and called). Then 8 o'clock came and went so I figured I'd been stood up, ON MY BIRTHDAY!! I was crushed! That only lasted about 15 minutes, when she text messaged me and said she was planning on the 855 show. At first I did think, "huh... you left me hanging." But life happens and I would prefer to get my ass off the couch and go to this movie than have "Stood up" forever plastered in my mind for how this birthday ended! So we met and saw "Ghosts of Girlfriend something" I don't remember the title but you guys know which one I'm talking about! It was exactly what you thought it would be, but all the same it was enjoyable and lighthearted!

I even got to talk to Kevin! Thankfully- he was supposed to be rolling out for another mission... thankfully the mission was delayed for one reason or another so I actually got to speak with my hubby!! We didn't think it was going to work out. But I know that he loves me even if he doesn't or isn't given the opportunity to say it and I know he's thinking of me even when he can't be here! I love him and I'm blessed to have him in my life!

Babe: I know that you wanted to be here, but it is what it is right? Missed birthdays and things are just apart of the gig! I Love you all the same. I don't blame or resent you for it! Thank you so much for a fantast and ABSOLUTELY PERFECT day! Your presence was the only thing missing from my day. I love you so much. Talk to you soon!

So ladies that is all from me for today. It was a great birthday (minus candles and all)! =)
