I need a break from every day life…

OK…So, I just had Fall Break last week.  I got out of class at 1:00 p.m., then got in my car and headed to see my boyfriend that lives six hours away from me.  I had to put my pup in the vet to be boarded while I was gone.  I got to my man’s house at about 7:30 – 8:00 p.m.  I was finally there.  It felt so good to just be with him.  I had seen him the previous week, he surprised me and came down to be with me for his two days he had off.  Anyway, I was so happy to see him.

I desperately needed a break from school.  I stayed at his place with him from Wednesday night until Sunday afternoon.  While I was there, we went to get deep tissue massages.  It felt wonderful.  I think the girl/woman/masseuse  that gave me my massage bruised some muscles in my back because I was so tender the next day I couldn’t even move suddenly without crying out in pain.  I’m better now.  My man just loved his massage.  He was so relaxed and out of touch with reality afterwards that we got lost on the freeway and it took us forever to get back to his house.  Once we finally got there, we were planning on getting ready to go to the casino, but instead we fell asleep.  I miraculously woke up at 1:00 a.m. and frantically tried to wake him up because I knew how much he wanted us to go to the casino together.  He’s so hard to wake up sometimes….Finally though, I woke him up, we both got ready and went to spend money we really didn’t need to spend.  We stayed at the casino until 5:00 a.m.  We both lost money, but I managed to walk out with $7.00.

I had so much fun with him while I was there.  I needed the break from school and some other things going as well.  BUT – No sooner than I got home Sunday afternoon, I started feeling overwhelmed again.  I had papers to write, chapters to read math work to do, field experience to complete for two different classes…..Since Sunday afternoon I have been going non-stop….doing homework, doing family stuff, doing house work, I still need to do my laundry and dishes….I still have math work and about four or five more papers to type……And today I found out that I have a test to study for…

So, even though I just had fall break and was able to relax and just be myself with no deadlines or homework or housework or doctor’s appointments or Army shit to do for four whole days, I feel like I haven’t had a minute to myself at all.  It’s like every time I get one things done, there are about ten more things that pop up with a suspense date attached….

Hopefully the next month and a half of school will go by quickly.  Hopefully….

Anyway, until next time~~Happy Blogging!~~

How does your business answer the phone?

How ALL business phones SHOULD be answered! GOOD MORNING, WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA .. Press “1″ for English.   Press “2″ to disconnect until you learn to speak English And remember only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

What have you learned?

I’ve learned … that life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
I’ve learned … that we should be glad God doesn’t give us everything we ask for.
I’ve learned … that money doesn’t buy class.
I’ve learned … that it’s those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.
I’ve learned … that under everyone’s hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

I’ve learned …that the Lord didn’t do it all in one day. What makes me think I can?
I’ve learned … that to ignore the facts does not change the facts.
I’ve learned … that the less time I have to work, the more things I get done.

I’ve learned … happiness takes its own sweet time.
I’ve learned … that the best things in life happen when you stop looking for them.

Blah! I hate Mondays!

I really hate Mondays….the thrill of the weekend is gone, and the burden of the impending week sits on your shoulders…all on Monday….I also can’t seem to ever concentrate on anything on Monday’s.  I went to class today, like I do every week day, and I managed to pay attention to most of what my professor said, but most isn’t quite the same as all now is it?  Anyway, I just finished typing a paper, and I still have another assignment to finish before I go to sleep tonight.

I got a new cell phone this weekend, the V9 Razor….I like most things about it so far….but some things I don’t like about it….For instance, I can be holding the phone in one position and people hear me fine on it, then while I’m still holding the phone in the same position people on the other end of the “line” start telling me to speak up or that I must have something between my mouth and the phone…I haven’t moved the phone or my face (other than to move my lips to talk), and what the hell would I have between my phone and my mouth while I’m using the phone???? So, I am going to go back to Cingular/AT&T tomorrow and ask them what the hell is wrong with my new $400.00 phone that I have only used/had for three days now.  If they can’t fix it, or give me a brand new one that doesn’t make me sound muffled for no reason, then I will exchange it for a cheaper phone and yes, I will get the difference in cost back.  I’m pissed that I dished out $400 and the piece of shit is fucking up already.

I found out today that I have two math tests next Monday…yes, next Monday….That sucks.  I have a hard enough time keeping the material I learn from each class separate from the other one for homework purposes, now I have to study and take tests on the material and try to keep the information separate so I can pass both of the tests…..Yeah, I know other people have bigger problems, but this is my blog and I feel like bitching about things right now.

Here is something I am happy about, it may or may not happen, but just the thought of it possibly happening puts a big smile on my face…My boyfriend may come down to see me this week.  He wants to try to surprise me, but I am making it kind of hard, because I won’t quit asking him about it…I am trying not to get my hopes up, but it’s not seeming to work.  I just can’t help it I guess….I am going crazy because I want to see him so badly.  However, if he can’t come down to see me this week, I already have plans to go up and see him next week.  So, I know that I’ll see him in either 2 days or 9 days.  I just can’t wait to see him, and if I have to wait 7 days longer, I can.

I asked my professor today if we got out of class at noon next Wednesday for our Fall Break, because in our student handbook (I use it as my planner, so I have it all the time) it says: 17 October – Noon       That is what it says when campus closes at noon, but she made a comment in class this morning about having our test on Wednesday or giving us an assignment or something (I had my Monday ears on, so I can’t tell you for sure what she said, but I know it was about next Wednesday) She was confused about whether or not we have class because she had seen in an email that we do have class, but the handbook suggests that we don’t….Then some stupid girl that works in some office on campus had to open her mouth up.  The girl that no one was talking to said that the handbook only meant that the campus offices close at noon, not that the campus closes at noon.  The professor politely told her thank you, but also told her that she will check on it rather than take her word because she has received two different printings about it….Why do people think it’s ok to speak when they haven’t been spoken to?  It just doesn’t make any sense that the staff of my university would be let off at noon, but the faculty and students have to stay.  You would think if one person gets to leave, we would all get to leave….and why would they give the staff a break and not the faculty….Whatever, I’ll find out the answer to my question Wednesday this week.  I felt like slapping the girl that no one was talking to.

So, hopefully my man will come see me this week, and I will get in a better mood, and hopefully Wednesday the girl that no one was talking to will get piss in her eye.

Until next time~~~Happy Blogging!~~~

When A Soldier Comes Home…..

When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard….

…to listen to his son whine about being bored.

…to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes.

…to be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work.

…to be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night’s sleep.

…to be silent when people pray to God for a new car.

…to control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower.

…to be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying.

…to be grateful that he fights for the freedom of speech.

…to keep from laughing when anxious parents say they’re afraid to send their kids off to summer camp.

…to keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather.

…to control his frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold.

…to remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the dog.

…to be civil to people who complain about their jobs.

…to just walk away when someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a year.

…to be happy for a friend’s new hot tub.

…to be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the house.

…not to punch a wall when someone says we should pull out immediately

The only thing harder than being a Soldier…

Is loving one.

Update on me…

Ok, so it’s getting close to the mid term point in school for the fall semester….I am doing pretty well in all of my classes. I have made perfect scores on all of my tests in my teaching classes, and I have made B’s on all of my tests in both of my mathematics classes. I’m pretty happy with my studies so far. Lets hope I continue to do well in all of my classes, I have to raise my GPA so I can be accepted into the College of Education. Then I’ll have two years left in school. I’m so ready to graduate and be done with college crap!

I have changed my appearance once again. I did away with the blonde and have gone brunette again. I change my hair color dramatically about once or twice a year. I just get a little ancy and need a change sometimes, so what better to change than my hair?! I mean, if I don’t like the way it is after I change it, then I can just change it again. But, I am extremely happy with how it looks brunette. My boyfriend hasn’t seen it yet, but I’m sure he’ll like it too. He’s seen me brunette before and he liked it then.

So, I still haven’t gotten to see my man since the middle of last month…I won’t get to see him for another couple of weeks. We both miss each other terribly. His birthday is tomorrow…I won’t get to see him until 13 days after his birthday…It sucks…I’m going to email him a birthday card. I’m such a terrible girlfriend because I didn’t get him a birthday card to send him in the mail. He keeps telling me that it doesn’t matter to him that I didn’t send him a card, he doesn’t get as excited about birthdays as I do….I did order him a La-Tee-Da Oil Lamp from www.effusionlampsltd.com , he got it in the mail a week or so ago….He liked it…I just wish that he wouldn’t have gotten it so early…Oh well, beggars can’t be choosers..I guess…I just miss him and am so sick of the distance between us.

So, here is a pic of me, my best friend, one of my NCO’s, and one of his friends…We were at the River Market in Little Rock…We had a blast!

Anyway, I’ll end this post here…Until next time~~~~~~Happy Blogging!~~~~~~~~

WOW!

Well, I had an awesome weekend!  I wish I had been able to go up to see my man, but I couldn’t afford the kennel cost for my pup, or the gas money for a six hour drive up there and then six more hours back….Plus, since we can’t see each other right now, we have been talking on the phone a lot! Yes, I mean A LOT! The other day we talked for five hours, then another day for over three hours, and this morning we spoke for over four hours.  You would think we would run out of things to say, but we don’t even have those little lulls that can happen in conversations…I love it!

Anyway, I went to see my cousin’s band play on Friday night, then on Saturday night I went to the River Market with a group of friends….I had a blast!  It’s been a long time since I’ve gone out and had fun with my friends like I did this weekend.

So, I have been thinking about whether or not I can go up to see my man next weekend, the weekend after his birthday….I think I have come to the decision that I can’t afford to go up there two weekends in a row.  I am going up there on the 17th of October, and I will stay up there until probably the 20th or 21st….If I go up next weekend, I will only be able to stay Friday, Saturday, and then come back home Sunday….He works those nights, so I wouldn’t really get to see him except when he’s home during the day, and he has to sleep then…..But, when I go up on the 17th, he will be off work for 2 days/nights, so we will get to hang out and actually spend time with each other.  So, I am going to just wait and go see him during my fall break.  We both talked about it and he thinks that’s better too…I miss him so very much, I can’t wait until the 17th gets here,,,,

I’ll end it here!  I have to get some sleep so I can go to class tomorrow!

Until next time~~Happy Blogging!~~
