We had our engaged friends, J & M over for some grilling this afternoon. It was pleasant until J got her panties in a twist because M’s such a clown. She’s got too little sense of humor to his nice joking personality. She won’t bend, she won’t try to lighten up… It’s quite frustrating for me as a spectator and I don’t even know how HE feels. It was awkward when they were arguing. NO FUN. The food was good, we had a decent game of Cranium (we won), M & the hubby got to play WoW and I just chilled on the couch with J, watching tv.

I’m quite gassy right now to the point of discomfort

I can’t believe my husband doesn’t have work anymore. It’s bizarre to know that I have to go to work and he doesn’t. Until he finds a new job, that is. We’ll see what happens with that.

I really wanted to play The Sims 2 today, but that didn’t really happen. It did last night, but then I had to reboot because my laptop was lagging so badly. I need a serious memory upgrade to this thing, or something! Anyone know how to modify a Dell Inspiron 6000?

It looks like I have to fix the images to my smilies… they’re all broken >:(

I spent the past two nights drunk. Bad idea. I didn’t get hammered, really, but I was drunk enough to spend the past two nights at my friend’s apartment. I felt fine Saturday after sleeping that night off, but I felt more poopy today - probably because I drank a lot of wine and I KNOW I get bad hangovers if I get drunk off wine. I mixed it with rum & cokes, however, and had some food throughout the night.

Friday night I watched my friend, H’s kids. They’re very cute. I had a little trouble with the little one, he was getting tired and fussy but wouldn’t go to sleep until eventually he took his bottle like a good little boy and fell asleep with it in his mouth, on my lap. The 3 year old is quite the chatty one. It took one and a half movies for her to be content and not bother me lol. She kept asking for a popsicle which I compromised with her that she could have it after the movie and then she has to go to bed. She’s very good going to bed when I watch her. Negotiations work like a charm The dogs weren’t bad either. It was a little long of a night in that aspect only because H and her “date” watched The Dark Knight instead of Wanted, which extended my babysitting job an extra hour. I was itching to meet my hubby and friends at the bar downtown. Of course by the time I got there, the hubby had already gotten drunk off margaritas and J had to cut him off if he didn’t calm down. Oy. I tried pounding back as many drinks as I could in a short amount of time because I didn’t want to be sober around a bunch of drunk people. I hate being the only sober one because I can’t stand drunk-person antics. We left for another bar where a live band was playing, played some pool… And I was hoping to perform a little karaoke! When the band took an intermission, they opened up karoke and both my hubby, M and I signed up - they didn’t get to us before the band went back on and we left soon after for C’s apartment.

Saturday a group of us went to H’s house for a grilling/bday shindig for her kids. 1 and 3 years old. Lots of food to munch on, I was happy This is where I was drinking wine with C. I had brought over a nice big bottle of chardonnay my parents had given me a year or so ago. It’d been sitting on my counter for that long and it was about time it was consumed. And it WAS.

This morning, C made hubby and I some eggs and hash browns (the good, fresh kind). It was yummy. I made sure to utilize her bottle of Pepto right after I had woken up lol. We eventually got home, where feeling like poo I took a several hour nap. And here I am. I just printed out some nice big floor plans to try and execute in The Sims 2… so adios fellow friends

For a few weeks I had managed to lock myself out of WP… I’d forgotten my password and the auto-generate email would always give me the same invalid key to reset it. I asked for help on Lavish and got a link to change my pw via MyPHPAdmin, but I couldn’t manage to match the directions to the pictures. I had to fiddle around, clicking on various unmentioned tabs before I found the right spot. So now I’m back!

My site is in dire need of attention, fixing up and sprucing up! Expect that in the next day or so, as well as an update to my QBee Quilt.

The hubby and I saw The Dark Knight last night and I was blown away by Heath Ledger as the Joker. I came home more devastated about his passing, knowing he’ll never be able to reprise his genius portrayal or showcase his growing talent further. He’s the first celebrity I’ve actually shed some tears over due to being taken by death.

The hubby and I will be sharing a civilian life together in the near months. He’s being medically retired for allergy/exercise-induced asthma. He gets terrible allergies in the spring and fall seasons and he was doing his PT test this past spring and ended up having some sort of asthma-like attack during his run. His doctor on base didn’t think he had asthma, but it was concluded by doctors off-base and at Ft. Jackson that he did have some form of it. That means he’s not deployable and in the Air Force’s eyes, he’s useless - even if he can still do his job without any problems from the asthma. It’s well controlled with the medication he’s on now - but the Air Force doesn’t seem to care much about that. I was devastated when he told me that the final decision came down to kick him out because as you all should know, I was separated back in early May. I was really hoping he’d at least be able to finish out the rest of his enlistment. He’s happy he’s getting out and I’m feeling better about it. He’ll hopefully have a job with the FAA by year’s end and we’ll be moving back towards the West coast in Mid-Late November. I’ll sincerely miss all the friends I’ve made here in SC, but I miss my family lots more - and I hate the climate here in the South lol. There may even be a chance we’ll be going to Hawai’i! Though, I’m a bit torn on that…

Comment with something for me to talk about that starts with one of the letters of the alphabet. Make me babble about anything! Whether it be a general topic, or completely random and particular. One topic per letter — it’s like a claims list! I will cross off letters as topics appear. I will post a new post talking about all 26 topics given to me once I’ve gotten suggestions for all 26 letters! Suggest as many as you want!

Go for it folks!!

I’ve conceptualized a new quilt, including making base graphics for most of the components (header, backgrounds…), but when it comes to trying to actually code it, I’m just pooped. I’ve got coding block. I either don’t want to do it or I’ve kinda lost my finesse for being able to do it. I’m sure once I actually jump into it, I’ll pick it up again, but for the time being I just don’t feel up to it. It’ll be a similar set-up to what I currently have except moving a couple things around and a change of scenery. Care to guess what it’ll be?

I need to lose some bulk! My arms are fat, my back is fat, my thighs are fat, my stomach’s fat… UGH. I just look BIG. I had a friend for a long time who was always twice as big as I was and I was thankful for being so skinny, especially when I was next to her. Now I can say I’m about as big as she was/seemed when I was a kid/pre-teen. How awful. Maybe that’s karma. Or my thyroid as my friend, J, keeps on insisting. Sure, I’d do no harm in having it checked out - I don’t know if my mom’s ever had hers checked out, I would think so considering she’s almost 55 years old. I also need to have my wrist checked out. Ever since I tweaked it bringing in groceries and putting them away a few weeks ago, it’s been a constant pain/discomfort. That’s not right. There’s something wrong with it and hopefully I’ll be listened to the next time I ask a doctor about it.

I’ve been so effing itchy lately! Some of it is bug bites, but I’m having a hard time figuring out why else the rest of me is itchy. I gather it’s dry skin - but I never have that issue. Who knows, though, considering how queer the weather/climate is out here in South Crapolina. It rained yesterday and today and has been overcast for that long as well. Considering how high the humidity is here, you would think there wouldn’t be an issue with dry, itchy skin. I just lathered some lotion on my arms because I kept itching them and it’s relieved it so far.

We finally got our stimulus check. I think most of it will be going to my shit, though. I need new glasses, pay cc bills, and… something else, I’m sure I’m forgetting. *sigh* Blah. I hope I get the contracting job working back at the weather station as a civilian. That’d be so kick ass. I just need J to send me the resume we wrote up on her friggin computer. I think I had put it on my thumb drive, but I’ve seem to have lost/misplaced it

Compared to last year, I’m so glad there was a significant drop in numbers of how many people decided to wish others a “Happy Memorial Day (Weekend)”. I mean… really? Last year there were TONS of bulletins on MySpace from folks saying it and it made my head hurt. Considering most of those folks were fucking COLLEGE students. How ignorant can you be? Same with Veteran’s Day. They’re not HAPPY holidays. Please to not being stupid, kids going through higher education.

Fucking idiots. The end.

I am working as an “independent contractor” for a real estate investor and his partner brother. I’m working with a good friend, H, who helped me get the job. It’s a 9-5 job with weekends off and I get to wear jeans and sandals to work It’s mainly helping with the paperwork, filing, mailings, etc. I’ve got a little project I’m working on dealing with putting together a Rental Property Management folder. I’ll be attempting to convert the Word document forms into PDF forms so as to make them goof-proof to be filled out. We’ll see how I do once I go in on Monday.

My SC best friend is now officially engaged and, as of last night, a ring. She’s happy for the moment. They’ll be getting married on the 7th of November (or 8th?) and I’ll be the matron of honor. I’m excited for it. Her planning her wedding has got the ball rolling for me to plan a wedding of my own. I know, I’m already married, but we eloped and didn’t have the ceremony & reception, which we’re planning on around our 5th anniversary - so in 2010. That’ll give us plenty of time to plan and work out finances and shtuff. I guess it’ll be more of a vow renewal, but it won’t be anything short of an actual wedding

I was planning on going home for my brother’s high school graduation, but after paying all my bills with my last paycheck from the military, I’m nothing short of broke. I won’t have the hubby buy the ticket, as we’re gonna need every penny we can since I’ve taken a significant pay-cut. Perhaps I’ll try and find a 2nd job as a bartender to add more income.

The weather here’s been kinda crazy. It was windy as hell here today, but only slightly cloudy, but now it’s become overcast. Yesterday was BEAUTIFUL. Temperate with a slight breeze and a bit chilly at night. We had thunderstorms/some rain about a week ago and in between it got hot & humid. Ugh, not looking forward to another summer here in the south

I’ve been working a lot on The Sims2, taking floor plans off the internet and converting them into Sims houses. Some of course need tweaks here and there because I don’t have the ability to build actual garages and Sims don’t use closets. I’m going to attempt a really lavish house you’d probably see in/around the Hollywood Hills. We’ll see how that goes. One of my Sims I maxed out her Cooking skill points and I want to actually get her through to the top of the Culinary career field. I’ve never done such a thing - I spend most of my time building houses and dicking around with my Sims haha. I need to find the CD code for my University expansion pack and get some more to install - I want more stuffs! I just have Sims2 and Open for Business installed for the time being.

I’m trying to figure out what new to put on my website. I should start with just blogging more, eh? I used to be such a blogging whore and then I just kind of lost it… Hmm.

Sorry folks for not being around and alive. I’ve been rather busy lately - especially these last couple of days because I’m separating from the military. I’ll be a civilian again come 6 May - and until I secure a job, I’ll have so much free time on my hands to get back into the groove of things! So, don’t write me off just yet!

We had our water off since LAST TUESDAY! We just got it turned back on yesterday, so that’s over a week without running water. The water company even admitted there was NO reason for our water to be off, as we weren’t overdue or delinquent on our bill. The got us mixed up with some other address that was - but it took them threats from my husband’s command and base legal before they finally sent a fucking tech to turn the water back on. They had promised to send one out earlier when it first was turned off, but they never followed through.

I can’t believe yesterday was my last day of work. I didn’t get a chance to savor it like everyone else does! That’s what I get for being involuntarily separated Honorably of course! *sigh*

I still love yous guys!!

I’ve been doing nothing online for the past week, at least. And the past couple of days I’ve managed to avoid being on the computer while at home completely. I feel kind of bad about it, but once I finish all my “daily” browsing, I become so bored - even though I think of all the things I want and should do once I get home. I spent my afternoon/evening napping on the couch last night with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on in the background. Apparently it looped 3 times, according to my husband.

My nails need some serious help. They’re splitting and cracking and peeling like nobody’s business. I really don’t know what to do about it at the moment. However, I do get paid tomorrow and I should follow up on my original plan to get acrylics to help my nails grow out, at least past the point of where the peeling ends. Acrylics also keep my from picking at my cuticles. That was the actual original reason why I was going to get them.

I should compile a list of things I need to do and keep to it. For I have a LOT of things to do ranging from cleaning entire rooms of the house to putting my camera back together after I disassembled it to help it dry out

I have to be in at work tomorrow morning to receive paperwork. Fun
