So Sleepy

Lately it doesn't matter how much sleep I get I am still really tired the next day, maybe I'm not sleeping as soundly as I think I am. Maybe this weather is getting to me. I have it is a feeling it is just that time of year where my body just wants to hibernate.

Weird Feelings

Sometimes I feel like it is a terrible thing to have woman's intuition. I get weird feelings and they always turn out to be somewhat what I felt. That stomach sinking feeling where you know that something just isn't right. I have had that feeling the last month or more and I can't figure it out, it is slowly driving me crazy. I wish whatever it is would just present itself and get it over with. I am done with living on the edge of my seat and having nightmares. 

Babies

Being a girl, I think all of us getting baby fever sometime or another. Lately I have had baby fever, and I really don't want to. A lot of my friend have had babies, or are having them, and it is so hard not to get sucked in. More then half of the girls that were my close friends in high school have had babies, it is actually mind boggling. Who would have thought just four years after graduating such a epidemic would have happened. It is like the water in Michigan is making the girls more fertile. Maybe it was a good thing I really got out of there, so I am less fertile then them. I plan to hold off on babies as long as I possibly can, and just love on all of my friends babies.

Laugh until your sides hurt

I don't know what it is about watching people hurt themselves, like when they fall while doing stupid stuff, that they know they shouldn't be doing. My favorite part on America's funniest home videos it when they show a reel of people hurting themselves. I laugh so hard sometimes, I can't control it. My nostrils flare, my eyes tear up, and my sides start to hurt. I love it, laughing really makes you feel really great. I think everyone should find things in life that make them laugh so hard that their sides hurt, do it maybe two times a week and everyone would be much happier. 

Japan

Mike should officially be in Japan now. The last I heard from him he said the Marines wanted his platoon to be back in Japan on the 5th of December. I am waiting to hear from him anytime now. I really hope that he calls me if he can, I like getting his emails, don't get me wrong but I really want to hear his voice. I have been watching video that he made to remember what he sounds like. I wish that my phone saved voice mails longer then it does, it sure would be nice to hear his voice before I went to bed like before. Before he went to Afghanistan he would wake me up in the middle of the night, either just to say goodnight, or talk for hours. I sure do miss that, even though I was always tired, it was well worth it.    

Dreams

I had this interesting dream last night. I have always had very vivid dreams, they can be so vivid sometimes I think they are really and the whole next day I have to keep trying to prove it to myself that they were just dreams. Last night my dream was about me going back to my childhood neighborhood and going through all the places I loved so much. As I went through all these places I started to cry because I miss it so much. Now the interesting thing about this dream is I will be going back to this old neighborhood in a couple of weeks because I will be going back to Michigan and my boyfriends parents just recently moved to the neighborhood I grew up in. I will get the chance to show him around, show him what formed me. I am so looking forward to seeing my boyfriend and going back home, I am dreaming about it now, I just hope I don't cry to much, I am such a girly girly sometimes.

Work Party

So my plan for tonight is something that I really don't want to be doing, is going to my work Christmas party. I really don't want to be spending my one day off this week at my boss's house. Me and my boss don't get along very well, but my other co-workers are making me go, so least it is there will be free alcohol. That may be the only thing that makes the night bearable. I am just going to avoid my boss all night, he just irritates me.  

Lazy day

I slept into today, for the first time in awhile. I slept in and then sat around and watched t.v for awhile, until I decided I need to get off my butt and do something. I worked out at how and cooked myself some breakfast food, even though it is well after breakfast time. While I ate my "breakfast" I was watching top 20 countdown. I don't know if anyone like country music, but I love it. I grew up with it and one of my favorite singers of all time is Reba Mcentire. I just recently bought her new cd and she just seems to get better with her age. I think she is a brilliant and strong women, defiantly someone that young girls should look up to. Well anyways I hope everyone has a good weekend.   

hmmmm?

Me and my roommate have really different tastes, but the one thing that we both really enjoy is the history or discovery channel. Lately we have been watching television shows that talk about the Egyptian's and how they may have actually built the Pyramids. It is truly amazing and they are defiantly something that I want to see before I die, but in this show they talk about the drawings on the walls. They believe that the images on the walls depict that the Egyptian's may have been taking order or had help from another human from not from this planet. It is totally crazy, but it really makes you wonder how they really did make the giant and heavy structures on their own. It is something I'm sure we will never really find out, but it is really interesting to let your mind wonder and go with the idea of other "people" out there.    

So much pain

I am just getting home from work and this is the last thing I want to be doing right now, I should be in my bed sleeping. It is 12:30 and I have had a really long day at work. Its was first Thursday in Pioneer Square and this is always one of our busiest days of the month. I have been at work since 11:00am, and I have to go back tomorrow and do it all over again. I am also a little stress because I am taking off just about a month of work and I have had this planned for the last three months and people have signed up to cover my shifts while I am gone, but know two of my co-workers have decided to quit there job and now I am scrambling to find people to cover my shifts two weeks before I leave. There is no way that I am not going the see my boyfriend and my family, my ticket is non-refundable and have been waiting for nine months and all these people know that, I am really aggravated about this situation. Hopefully I will figure this out soon and everything will go smoothly, and I will have a job when I come home from my month vacation.

Two Weeks!!!

I heard from my boyfriend last night and right now he is on a plane from Afghanistan back to Japan! They first stop a couple of places, I'm not sure but hey it is the Military. He said they are stopping in Germany and then Iceland and then they will finally be in Japan. So he will probably be there on Saturday or Sunday. I can't wait for him to get to Japan, he will have a phone there and more internet access. I can't wait to actually hear his voice, I haven't talked to him on the phone since July. Just two more weeks and I will see my boyfriend!!

Decmeber

It makes me so happy that it is finally December, this means only 15 more days and I will get to see my boyfriend for the first time in 9 months. I am so excited I could scream!!! This made me happy today, knowing that I am that much closer, but then I got my brides mate dress for my friends wedding in the mail and it is like three sizes to big. I told the women on the phone when I ordered it the I am about a 6 or a 8 in dresses depending on the style and she ordered me a 14. So now I have to make major adjustments to a dress that I will wear once and already cost me 200 dollars. I am very aggravated, so when I get to Michigan now I have to take the dress to get fixed and hopefully it will be ready in time for the wedding, and if it is done hopefully I won't look horrible. 

Sleep

Who doesn't love sleep? The minute I wake I am planning the next time I will be able to take a nap later in my day. Sometimes I even sleep at a booth on break at my work. With this winter weather it seems that my body is even more tired then usual. I slept all day today because it was my day off and now I have to sit down to do my homework and I am still tired. People say it is probably got to much, is this possible or is this a myth?

Sillyness

Can someone please answer me and tell me who designed the side walks of Seattle? I mean come one this one of the cities in the United States that rains all the time, and yet whoever designed the side walks decided to put smooth not textured cement in certain areas of the city. They also decided it would be a good idea to put smooth bricks in the front of Seattle Central. I think this is just silliness because I slide everywhere when it rains. I can't imagine how many people have or could get injured from falling in these smooth areas of the city. I drives me crazy, because I am a fast walker and I can not walk fast in these areas because I'm scared I will slip and fall. I would just really like to know who came up with this brilliant idea and give them a piece of my mind.  

Schedules

With this last week off of school and work, and with the cold weather I feel like my schedule it all messed up. I haven't been to the gym in over a week and my muscles feel like they are screaming at me. Started today I am officially back on my schedule, which means when I'm done at work going to the gym, doing homework, and crocheting. Which reminds me I should be done with my third blanket in seven months. I am so proud of myself. This lat one is going to be the best one though. 

Amazing...

I have found it truly amazing how easy it is to spend money. I have been doing nothing really but saving money and crocheting these last 8 months, but yet for some reason I am still always stressing about where my money is going. Most or where my money is going would be food. I have this problem where I shop everyday for whatever I am in the mood for. This has become a real problem because I am spending much more then I should be. I really need to get more organized and start shopping with a list for the week and only go to the store once a week. This is a easy thing to say I am going to do, but I have tried this before and I always lose my list or get side tracked from the list and buy junk food or candles. What am I to do, I guess I just need to be a little harder on myself and try to stay focused on my task. Shopping thrifty and prepared.

Crazy Target Commercials.

I don't know if anyone else has seen those target commercials with the crazy women with the blond hair? They seem to be everywhere, on t.v. and even when I turn on my computer she pops up on the side on my screen. They are pretty annoying because they are everywhere, but I'm not going to lie, they are really funny. She is such a nut. So with no school on Friday morning, is anyone planning on getting up early and shopping and getting all the great sales?

Snow day!!

It was nice not having school today, even though I still got up early and went down to the school to check and see if it was open..... well at least I live close. Even better today I didn't have to work.... what a great day. I spent my day crocheting, doing homework, and watching movies. I also made some plans for me and my boyfriend for while we are in Michigan. 23 days to go, and I will see the one person that makes my smile simply by just being him. Well I hope everyone else had an enjoyable snow day.

Christmas

So I started making my Christmas gifts the other day to take back home with me to Michigan. I decided I am going to take pictures all over the city of things I pass everyday, and landmarks in Seattle and frame them. No one in my family has been to Seattle, so I figured I would show them what it is like. I know it is a little early to be thinking about Christmas, but I rather just get it out of the way.

46 day!!

Today is November 1st and this makes me really excited. I woke this morning with a smile on my face because it means I only have 46 more days until my Boyfriend comes home. These last 7 months have actually gone by pretty fast, now I just have to make these next 46 days fly by. This last month is going to be the hardest month, I won't be able to communicate with him because he is on a mission. It is pretty frustrating because I have so many things that I want to share with him. So I still write him letters, hopefully they make it to him on time. There is so much that has changed in my life in these last 7 months, all for the better, the only thing missing is him. I told myself before he left that these 8 months that he is gone I have to focus on my self, do things that I want to get done or get started like school. Focusing on myself helped me not to dwell that he was gone, but now that his tour that his is coming to a end and we can't talk, it is all I can think about. I really do miss him, I can't fool myself anymore, but it's okay only 46 more days now.

Things that make my world go round.

Life has differently changed since high school, and let me just say that being an adult is not always fun. I remember being young and just wanting to grow up and to be done with the all the bologna of high school, but now what do I have to look forward to? These are some of the things that I think I have to look forward to, and what helps me get through my day to day life. I wake up and I go to school because I know that this is how I am going to better my mind, and I am so happy to be using my brain again. I then go right to work after I'm done with school, I am currently just a waitress, but this is another reason why I am in school to better my "career." I still kind of want to be in the "service industry" once I'm done with school but just playing a different role. I want to help peoples minds not their stomachs. When I am done with work this gives me time to do homework, crochet, or write a letter to my boyfriend or just sit and relax.The last one I don't get to do as much as I would like, and my life isn't all that interesting to write to my boyfriend all the time so sometimes I have to make up stuff, or make games from him to do and send back to me, it keeps both of our brains working. My boyfriend helps my world go round because I have something to look forward to all the time. I look forward to Dec. 16th when I will get to see him again. That is when we comes home from Afghanistan and will be the first time I will get to see him in 8 months. Being apart from him has been harder then I could have ever imagined, but not to much longer now. I have always been the person that has to have something to look forward to in order to feel like whatever I do it is worth it. So right now I am looking forward to seeing my boyfriend again and focusing on school. 

Sunday mornings

My Sundays have changed from relaxing and doing stuff around the house, to now doing homework very early in the morning to get it out of the way so I can enjoy the rest of the day. I'm almost all done with my homework... yay, but what can I do now it's rainy. I guess I can workout at home and try to organize my chaotic room. 

New excitment.

I have been out high school for about five years now and out of college for about three. In those years I have been through bad relationships, a tragedy in the family, and moving across the Country from Michigan to Washington. The last one was something that I actually decided on. I have lived here in Seattle for about a year and half now and am still getting used to it. Things here are much different from the Mid-West.  It is great being on my own and doing what I want to do. I have lived on my own basically since I was 17 but not in a different state so this is all very exciting to me. I am currently working as a waitress, or server as you all call it over here, apparently waitress is a bad way saying server over here. That is just weird to me, because well that is what I am. None the less my job is kind of mindless, and being back in school is making me really happy to be using my brain again. It is long over due.

Construction....

I can't think with all this construction noise.
