TT^TT

I am having an I hate the Army Day.


That is all.

Friday Fill-In!

Join along at Wife of a Sailor!

Are you a different person than you were five years ago? submitted by Sisterly Thoughts

Absolutely. Five years ago I was fourteen for christ's sake. I wore nothing but black because I thought I was fat, and dark-skinned. I still do, just have been coaxed into wearing more colors. My mother had just kicked me out at 13 because I was someone she didn't want me to be and also for her new husband. It was a year until I got my kitty LittleButt. I was still doing amazingly in school and I was sick all of the time. Vastly different. Now I'm only sick part of the time. And I'm missing part of my pinkie.

If you could go on Amazing Race, who would you take with you as your partner and why? submitted by Thoughts from a Poekitten

Definitely my husband. One, I couldn't actually stand to be around anyone else that much. But, also, he would be really good at it! Land Nav training and all that... But he wouldn't know how to budget or cook better than I do. We'd complement each other. Not that I'm bad with Directions, I just know he's better :D

Does Facebook or Twitter actually bring more stress or good in to your life? submitted by Just an Arizona Girl

Good. Though sometimes my drama-free friends get backed into a situation where there's just so much drama. uuuugh. In those cases, if there is no way I can help, I tend to stay away for a bit.

June is National Soul Food Month- what's your soul food? submitted by NH Girl Displaced

Does BBQ Count? If so, then Pulled Pork BBQ. If not, it's probably Sweet potato fries I guess.

If you could live in any other era than the current, which one would it be & why? submitted bySugar in My Grits

I hate this question. None. People think that they'd have lives like on their favorite TV shows. They wouldn't. And every time I see people answer yes to this question it always bugs me as a tiny bit racist, they forget that until about the 1970's - Now that people who actually have more PIGMENT in their skin are really accepted... and even then most of the time, they're not. Granted lots of people said eff that and made their own corporations and entertainment and companies, etc... but, still. You can see where I would have a problem with this. The most popular answers to these questions all involve me having the available job as a maid or a cook, my dad as a laborer, my brother as a servant, my sister as another maid or waitress... The pattern goes on and on. My family is very interracial--yes, I'm also part Caucasian... but back then that meant nothing. I hate this question. I really, really do.

Apartment hunting! ... Christ, I hate apartment hunting...

I hated it when I was thirteen, and I hate it now... BUT.... I have found several places close to Fort Bliss... if the housing list is as frozen as I keep hearing, it will be likely that we will be moving into one of the places I've looked at... I did some apartment hunting and listed the best choices so hubby would have less stress. :) I'm G like that :D


My current favorite is this one.

It's pretty and it's near Fort Bliss :)

I dislike Texas because a lot people I've met there are rude :( And it's hot :(( And it's not California D: D: D: I'm a California girl at heart :] BUT Texas does have its support our troops (and their families) suit on... which means programs for me like the Texas Workforce and that is nice... California is one of the 21 states to offer unemployment assistance to spouses forced to quit their jobs to move with their service members due to new orders... (See Fig. A--Yes, I've always wanted a legitimate, non-school reason to write that.)

Totally Figure A

And that makes me very, very happy. Who says California isn't supportive of our troops and their families? Hooah, California! :) My job hunt is on, my furniture hunt is on. I hope that there are charitable people in Texas... and many-a-good furniture junkin' sites. We don't really have furniture but we have pretty much everything else... :D

@--}------

It's the first!

Happy First, Everyone!

For those of y'all who don't know, I usually set goals for myself on the first of every month, to kick my procrastinating ass into doing what I have to. (Hey, I know that I put stuff off, so I give myself deadlines AND goals. Hooah.)

Without further ado...

Family Goals 
My Own Little Family (Future Husband)

• Get Married before DF leaves
• Have a Honeymoon (However small it may be)
• Send Sebastian to Texas with pictures. Lots of pictures.

My Family (Dad and Siblings)

• Make dinner 2-3x/week for my dad
• Pick up after messy siblings WITHOUT BITCHING at least 1x/week

Home Life
Decorating/Purchases

• Buy: Bed Set
• Buy: Picture Frames

Repairs/Refurbishment

• Repair: Paint coat on Red Wall (Fix the scratches in the paint that my dumb-ass siblings decided they would put in by not listening to my dad.)

Knowledge
School

• Put in paperwork to start at UEI

Personal

• Start Learning the basics of knitting (Will be hard without Needles and thread.)

Work

• FIND A NEW JOB. ONE THAT WILL COVER BILLS. FFS.

Other than that on the agenda for today is:

1. Have my dad call our Lawyer
2. Visit Florists in the city for our bouquet
3. Check out two Nature Parks for a place to photograph the wedding.

Toodles, I'm off to bed.
