I'm going through a very hard time in both my personal and professional life right now. I needed a place to be able to say things and not have my words twisted through the grape vine, so I came here.

Just Talking

   My love and I are going through a bit of a rough spot for various reasons I don't really want to talk about. If everyone could just cross their fingers and hope it works out that would be great.
   I went shopping on black friday, and it wasn't as packed as I thought it would be. I wound up at walmart at 4 am, and they already had everything out, so I just went around putting stuff in my cart and checked out at 5 when the sale prices kicked in. I went a few other places but didn't really buy much. It seemed like everything that was on sale I already had or didn't want.
   I also got a new computer, but that I didn't pay for. The Department of Veterans Affairs bought it for me to continue my schooling. It's really nice and I'm glad that I finally have something reliable to do my school work on. Speaking of, I'm almost caught up on my homework, but I'm a little nervous because my teacher won't reply back to me to let me know if I am passing the class or not. I keep praying that she will get back with me, I've sent her six or seven emails, so she's being a little unprofessional now that it has been about three weeks and she still hasn't replied to any of my emails.
   I guess I'm just really stressed out lately and that is why I haven't been writing much, I'll write more when I'm in a better mood.

As the days go by...

   It's been a long time since I last posted! So much has been happening here at work I haven't had time to write anything. Finally I have found a few minutes today. So to start out with, my love and I have been bickering a lot lately. I guess it's because he hasn't been home for about a week now, his work scheduel got mixed up and he had to stand duty a lot more than he should have. Finally the last few days he has been home, but with him getting ready to graduate his platoon and the added stress of the holidays we aren't comunicating very well. I found this book that he had though, called the Languages of Love, and I started reading it. It's all about how men and women mis-communicate, and I have been applying what the book says to our relationship and it seems to be working! I broke down and cleaned his office too, it was a mess! If you have ever seen the show Clean House, that is the type of mess that it was. It took me three hours to clean it, but it was worth it because he was very happy when he saw it. Anything I can do to put his mind at ease is worth it to me. So last night we actually had a very good night together. Hopefully we will continue on this path.
   I have also started investing a small amount of money to try to build up my savings. I found a website called sharebuilder, and it seems to be a very easy place to invest money. I know absolutely nothing about investing, but the website breaks it down so even someone like myself can understand it! I also put a small amount of money into a certificate with five percent interest. I have to have it for one year, but at least I will have some savings now! I am thinking about putting a little bit of money into some stocks for my love for a christmas present to him. He doesn't save any money ever so I thought that that might be a good present.
   Work has been super busy. We had Monday off for Veterans Day, so it was a short ship week for the recruits comming in for boot camp. This basically means we had one less day to process twice the normal amount of people. Today is the last day for processing, and we still have around 160 recruits to go. They won't be here until this afternoon though, so we wont be getting off early today. I'm looking forward to this weekend. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'll be glad to get away from work for a few days.
   Well I guess that's about it for now, I promise to start writing more often!

Birthday Update

   Ok so yesterday was my birthday. It started off great. I woke up to a text message from my love telling me to look on the counter for my present (he had come home in the middle of the night and put it there and then went right back to work). I saw this blue box with white ribbon sitting there, and immediately started to cry! It was a Tiffanys necklace!!! It was beautiful!!! And it is the best gift I have ever gotten. Work was good, I got small gifts here and there, and then my love got off early and we went out to dinner. That's when things got bad. I don't even want to get into the whole thing but it consisted of lots of crying on my end and lots of yelling on his, and we haven't spoken at all today, and I still am very upset about all of it. It's funny how it was the best and worst birthday I have ever had all in one day. I'm just glad it's over, I don't think I'll be excited about my birthday next year though. Just thinking about it is making me, and I don't feel like typing a lot, so here are some bullets of what is going on.
 
  • My hair turned out great.
  • I still have lots of homework to do tonight.
  • Work was terrible today.

 Well maybe I will write tomorrow.

Excited for Tomorrow!

   Well dear readers tomorrow is my 22 birthday! I've always been excited about my birthdays, and I don't know why. With the recent loss of some so called friends here at work, I don't have a party planned or anything like that. But the civilians here at work are all comming to my birthday lunch at Ruby Tuesdays that I set up. We always have birthday lunches whenever it is one of the civilians birthdays, and they usually turn out to be pretty fun. Other than that, it will be a normal work day for me, but after work when my love gets home, we are going to go out to dinner, and that I am very excited about!
 
   I got a birthday present from my grandmother in the mail yesterday. It was a really pretty pair of gold hoop earings. She had them wrapped up in a taco kit box though. My family is so weird. I also got a card from my mom, who then called to tell me that it was the first card, the second card and my present were on their way. Again, my family is so weird. But I do love them!
 
   Yesterday when I got home from work, my love was already home, which was nice for a change. I had made a pit stop at the ABC package store after I left work, so he made dinner and we had pomagranite martinis and slow gin fizzes and listened to music and danced around the living room all night. It was a good time. But I woke up this morning to the sound of my love puking his brains out. I had told him not to drink that last drink, but there was no telling him no lol. So this morning, his whole team was out at the range firing weapons, and I decided to be nice and take them coffee from the coffee shop (awww). It was fourty degrees this morning so they were all happy about the coffee. The sad news is my love has to work tonight, so I won't see him until tomorrow night when we go to dinner. The good news is I will finally be able to do some more homework! I plan on staying up very late tonight to get it done. Of course I am so far behind I am sure I won't finish it tonight, but I only have until Sunday to finish it, and I know I won't do any tomorrow so tonight is the night for me to get busy on it.
 
   In other news, I'm taking off early today to go get low lights in my hair. My hair is a beautiful shade of Strawberry Blonde (NOT ORANGE!!), but with the winter comming up I really want to make it darker without loosing its color entirely. Hopefully I will love the results! Cross your fingers for me!
 
   I decided to go for the jewelery side business I was talking about. I really don't have that much contact with people outside of my office, so I think I might set up a website or something, but so far two people here have placed orders with me. I'm sure that it's not going to take off into anything big, but it's nice to do for a side thing. I had a few pendants that I had ordered come in yesterday, and I already sold two of them on top of my other two orders. Hopefully things will keep going like this! Well I should go for now, but I let you know how my hair turns out tomorrow!!

Talking about 10 Things You Don’t Know About Women

   I ran across this on someone elses blog, and I got a kick out of it. I happen to like older men, but for the most part I tend to agree with these. Enjoy!

10 Things You Don’t Know About Women

Every month in Esquire, a well-known woman writes a list of "10 Things You Don't Know About Women." These are some of my favorites in no particular order!

Sela Ward

  • Women really do want to be on time. It's just that everything starts so darned early.
  • We really do like to cook. It's just that we cooked so much for our boyfriends before we got married that we're sick of being in the kitchen. Sorry you missed it.
  • Men are free to think they're the boss, as long as they know we're the chairman of the board.

Jennifer Coolidge

  • Shaving down there doesn't make your equipment look any bigger. It does make it more manageable, however, which improves the chances of us admiring your manscaping.
  • Short of spending $10,000, there is nothing you can do to your head to hide the fact that you're going bald. If you're spraying your hair on from an aerosol can, chances are we can tell. Unless you're going to shell out the cash to do it right, just let it go.

Kyra Sedgwick

  • Before you accuse a woman of being bitchy, walk a mile in her shoes. Her pointy-toed, high-heeled, impossibly uncomfortable shoes.
  • One more thing about the shoes: Most of them hurt too much to wear for too long. So, yes, we really do need that many pairs. (And, accordingly, you need us to have them.)
  • Our friends are not your enemies, and our enemies better not be your friends.

Liz Vassey

  • Go for the girl who can eat a proper meal. If she's passionate about food, you'll most likely be fortunate in other venues.

Annabeth Gish

  • If you tell us that playing Halo 2 improves the dexterity of your fingers, you'd better be able to prove it.
  • Watching football for three hours on a Sunday is sufficiently masculine. Watching football for nine hours is obsessive and weird.
  • Chivalry does not emasculate you or make you our bitch.

Alyssa Milano

  • No matter how much your woman loves you, there are going to be three to seven days each month when she wants you dead. (She may even quietly fantasize about turning her eyelash curler against you.) You have two options: Tie yourself to a tree and wait out the storm, or stock up at Tiffany's, toss a blue box or two into the wind, and hope for the best. We recommend the latter. (The key chain doesn't count.)

Dana Delany

  • A private plane will not make up for the fact that you have bad breath.
  • We like younger men for the same reasons you like younger women: stamina and skin.
  • There are two spots on women that need to be touched more: the back of the neck and the lower back. Fireworks.
  • Never send red roses. That's such a cliché. A simple wildflower will get you where you want to be.

Courteney Cox

  • You don't get a vote in the preferred shape of our pubic hair. Until you've had hot wax poured all over your crotch, you're merely a passenger on that flight.

Pam Grier

  • It doesn't matter if you have an M.B.A. from some fancy school; as long as you have ragged cuticles, dandruff, and a chipped tooth, you'll be getting no action. It's time to start paying attention.

Mariska Hargitay

  • It's not the size of the bed that matters; it's the thread count.
  • We are all about our necks. Feel free to spend as much time there as you wish.

Christina Applegate

  • Guys who go to Hooters to watch the game are usually the same guys who go to lunch at strip clubs for the free chicken- fried steak. Don't be one of those guys.

Jill A. Davis

  • We don't ever want to see the inside of an Olive Garden.
  • Have we ever mentioned how grateful we are that we don't have to shave our faces once a day, every day, for fifty years?
  • Boxers or briefs? Who cares, as long as they're clean and you know how to take 'em off to music.

Random Everyday Women 

  • Not all of us want marriage and babies. Some of us just want orgasms and dogs.
  • The vast majority of women are digging for appreciation, not gold.
  • Your Game Boy/PlayStation/Xbox obsession? It makes our shoe-shopping habit look like a nobler pursuit than peace in the Middle East.
  • Raise your criteria beyond our faces and figures and we'll raise ours beyond your bank account.
  • We're mostly jealous of the women we look at, not the women you look at.
  • We're capable of sex without commitment, too. It's just that you're happy with one inebriated night of it and we prefer 9 1/2 weeks of it--sordid, aggressive, and gratuitous.
