Matt's been gone 4 months....4 months down; 11 months to go. This is the point of the length of his last deployment...4 months. Surprisingly, it has gone quite quickly. This amazes me because I am more alone and isolated then I was the last time. Last time I could go home to my parents anytime I wanted, I lived in an apartment at Scranton with ( Read more... )

First of all, for those of you who have had orthodontic work done in your lifetime, I feel your pain. I don't even have braces on yet and my teeth are killing me. I had my spacers placed for my palate expander this morning. Ouch. They use super strong dental floss to shove a gray round piece of rubber in between your teeth (and the rubber is ( Read more... )

I had a pampered chef party tonight. It was a ton of fun; some girls from work and one from my FRG....I thought there would be others there so I felt sorta bad for her because she didn't know the girls from work but she did alright. We got to thinking about having a pole dancing party...we think it would be awesome. We found one company that ( Read more... )

Ellen and Wei came to visit this weekend and we had so much fun. Went to eat on Saturday night then out to a couple of bars. Sunday we saw "21" and then made dinner and watched 30 Days of Night. It was great. I actually had someone to hang out with all weekend. Now it's back to the daily grind of life. Work, sleep, repeat...night shift and I ( Read more... )

I might be having surgery on April 29th....eeekkk....more to follow after I degest this.

I got called off for work tonight. I love it when that happens because it is oh so rare. In all actuality I am still on call so they could call me in at any time tonight but that most likely won't happen so I am off the hook. I attempted to till my garden today but didn't get very far (the ground here seems to be as hard as rock). I need to bring ( Read more... )

It's cold outside right now. 48 degrees. Brrr. To some this isn't cold out but in all reality, it is colder than if it were 30 degrees. This is because the heat doesn't cycle on. It's too warm for the heat to cycle on but too cold for the house to actually stay warm. I just flicked on the fireplace to attempt to solve this dilemma which will ( Read more... )

Well, here I am, on nights again. Holidays at work are always so slow and boring. Well, I guess that's a good thing so I'm not running around all night. Not many people have babies on holidays. Nope, it's the day or two after, when all that heavy good food is settled into the pits of their stomachs and soon puts them into labor...we'll get hit in ( Read more... )
