Last Day of March

So, today was really slow. We (my Mother in Law and I) went to the BX on Tinker AFB. I bought some new Nike tennis shoes. My old shoes were two years old, I figured they deserved a retirement. I didn't much else today. We are going to pick up Karl tomorrow. I hope everything goes okay as far as the flights are concerned.

What a Nightmare

Well, I woke up this morning thinking I was dreaming but the nightmare is real. After being in Oklahoma just one day and night. I am sick, would you believe that? I guess my body is against climate change. Which really isn't surprising. But there is an upside to this. I am going to Mazzio's for dinner and having a meatball bake. Yummy. :)

Back on the Mainland

So I arrived safely in Oklahoma via Salt Lake City, Utah. I am ready for this vacation and some cooler weather. Although this is Oklahoma, so there is no telling what will happen as far as the weather is concerned. This picture is from the Salt Lake Airport.

Leaving on a Jet Plane . . .

So after some rescheduling by the airline I will be leaving Honolulu in just a few short hours. And as the song says, "don't know when I'll be back again" I only have a one ticket because we are still not entirely sure when Karl's R&R starts. This is going to be a fun trip.

A Wake Up

Tomorrow I leave for Oklahoma to see my husband for the first time in a little over seven months. If that is not weird enough we will be celebrating our second wedding anniversary. Yes, I have been married for almost two years. What a whirlwind it has been. I worked in the nursery today. I believe that is a good way to get a dose of small children without having the responsibility of taking them home and for now that is good enough for me.

Not Much to Say

I really have absolutely nothing to say. :)

One Weekend and a Wake Up

Monday is fast approaching and have not even began to pack or get ready to leave. My home is still a mess, my dog has no food to take with him. It is absolutely ridiculous. But that is me I guess. I always wait until the last minute to do everything. Shadow and I have a busy weekend ahead. But we love it.

Projects, Projects and Projects

It is getting ready to be a busy season here on Oahu and all over the world I think. Of course I decided to take a vacation in the middle of all of it. Go me. I am very happy and excited to see my husband soon but I have a lot to do. And I think he is taking on some more projects for the summer. I am not really sure how that is going to go. But this is life. Time to live it!

The Pros and Cons

That is going to be my mantra for the next few weeks. What are the pros and cons of each choice that need to be made. I am not really sure if it is going to help but one can hope. Of course this is all dependent on there being a next few weeks. With all of the stuff going on and all of the uncertainty, my certainty that tomorrow may never come is getting stronger. With that being said I am going to bed because if tomorrow does come I want to bright eyed and bushy tailed for it. :)

With Six Days Left

R&R is fast approaching. And the crazy thing is my last six days are jammed packed with stuff. I figured I would be lounging around the house but this is not the case. It almost fells like I am leaving for good and not coming back. I have lunch dates and dinner dates. It is crazy. I have backed out of a few events to preserve my sanity. Tonight was my last FAITH night until I get back. I still have one piano lesson, one choir rehearsal, one Bible study, one praise team rehearsal, one nursery duty, one Sunday service and one Masterlife class before I leave. I must be crazy to be doing all of this. And when I get back I am going to volunteer with the Hawaii State Commission Against Domestic Violence. So, I am really going to be busy. I just hope I can get it all done and done well.

One Week Left

As of today I have one week until I head to the mainland. I am getting really apprehensive. I know it is going to be a good trip but I do not know, it still feels awkward. I am having a pretty good day. I have been watching CSI: Miami most of the day. I got a hair cut and Shadow got blood drawn. He has tape and heart worm medicine now. I also met my neighbor today which was nice. But I need to get off of here. I forgot that I have a ceremony in the morning. :)

Good Sunday

Today was a typical day. Church, CSI: Miami and hanging with some friends. Tomorrow is a hair appointment and a vet appointment for Shadow. So I think I am going to go to bed and see you on the morrow.

Saturday

The marathon continues. I have a little over a week before I leave for Oklahoma.  I am glad it is almost here. It is going to be nice to relax and see my husband after six months. I really do not have a lot to say. So I think I am going to go to bed now.

Friday Night and Nowhere to go

I started the first part of my CSI: Miami marathon. Which is going to last a while since I have eight seasons to watch. So, I am going to get off of here and watch. Catch you later.

With Eleven Days Left . . .

I just realized I will be headed to Oklahoma in eleven days. I am not really sure I feel about that. It is just for vacation but it is still really hard to believe. I was in Oklahoma this time last year too. The part I am not really sure about is going to Georgia. I have been there since October 2009. I have not changed a lot in a year and a half but I think I am different person. And I am not sure how I am going to handle all the questions when I get there. I also think I talk like an Islander more than I do a Southerner. Which is going to be fun.

The Plans, They are A-Changin'

As I mentioned yesterday, the schemes/plans we had made are not what we thought they were. So there maybe a complete change in where we are going to live once we get to Oklahoma. This also affects what we are going to do on R&R. I think we should just relax and forget about it. Although the responsible thing to do would be to keep trying to firm up the plans but I am not in the mood to be responsible. I dislike being a responsible adult. On with some fun stuff. I flew my kite today for the first time in Hawaii. I bought it during my last trip to Oklahoma. (It is part of my plan to keep young.) Now my kite has flown in two states. Maybe I should take it with me to Georgia and make it three. I also signed myself up for piano lessons again. I hope to be able to accompany myself by the time I leave Hawaii. This will be a good skill to have, if I ever decided what major I am to study. (responsibility avoidance, again) And on that note I will end this entry and bid you good night.

Best Laid Schemes . . .

I love when you think a plan is coming together and then it seems to be unraveling. It is not unraveling in a bad way but there are just some things that you cannot really plan for. Tomorrow will tell truth of how we will plan this. This is when being in Hawaii is not easy to deal with and add one half of the equation being in another country. It is a scheme surely to go askew.

Another Accident

I was thinking about what to write about today and I must say I am at a loss. I have been doing this everyday for almost three months and it starts to get harder when nothing really happens in a day. Although as I was driving to meet some friends today, I was stopped by an accident on Kamehameha Highway on the way into town. I have to turn around and drive through what I guessed is Waialua. That is the second time in less than a month that has happened to me. And both accidents were on Kamehameha Highway. It is a bit frightening since I travel that road a lot. And a car accident is not the way to go. I hope everyone is okay. Other than that is was uneventful day. I had lunch with friends and shopped a little bit. Good times.

Another Countdown Has Began

I have less than 15 days until I am back on the mainland for at least two weeks. I am not sure what we have planned but it is going to be a fun ride I am sure. Stops in at least two states and a lot of eating. I am just ready to see some old familiar faces and places. I just hope I have not forgotten where everything is in Columbus. :)

Renewal of an Old Love

I have been listening to my iPod these last few days and have found a renewal of my love for all things Country music. In my car I have been listening to Contemporary Christian which is not a bad thing I love it too but I just realized I have missed the Country music that I used to listen to. I started listen with Faith Hill. Of course that means I listened to Tim Mcgraw. I played a little Garth Brooks today. I have missed them so. I even gave Rascal Flatts a quick run through. Maybe tomorrow I will get back to George Strait and Pam Tillis. :)

Movies, Wii and Stuff

Today the girls came over (Galina and Anna) to hang out. We played Wii and watched a movie. Anna spent must of  the time on my computer watching Bones. Which is so funny to me. She is now in love with Booth AKA David Boreanaz. She likes a guy old enough to be her dad and the best part is she traded him for Taylor Lautner. :)

Bigger and Better

Not sure really what is going on but I think I has plans for something bigger and better. I will fill you in as news breaks.

Career Choices

I was thinking again today about what I wanted to do for a career. I have not a clue. I was thinking politics earlier today. Then I went to church and someone was listening to me sing and said I should be on Broadway. Oh the life of an unfocused dreamer. LOL I have to decide soon though because we will be in Oklahoma and I will be back in school working toward a degree hopefully. I like to dabble in all kinds of things but I am not sure what I would love to do. But tomorrow is another day to plan/think/dream about it. One day until the marathon begins. I am so excited. I haven't been able to sit and watch TV in so long. I have been trying to keep busy and it has worked. We have less than three weeks until vacation. I have missed my husband so much. Well, until tomorrow.

An "Old" Favorite.

I was reading a story somewhere and this song was mentioned. I have missed listening to it.

A Day of Nothing

Today I have done very little in the grand sceme of things. I went to the PX, Post Office and Commissary. Nicole came and picked up the last of the boxes in my living room. The rest of the day I have been a vegetable and watched CSI: Miami. It has been great. I like days where I have done enough to feel like I have accomplished something and I have also done not enough to feel like I have over done it. A day of nothing is always good in my book. :)

Sunday Best

It was a slow day here. I went to church, hang out at the house, and went back to church. The services were great. The sermon this morning was on the money. I got a quiz later which I failed but I will not fail it again. Hope Wait Groan. :) Masterlife was as always enlightening. I am so glad I have continued it. We had a "concert" Sunday night that was great too. Jeanine & Bill Walker sang and played the piano. It reminded me of my favorite musical "State Fair." Which makes me want to go home to Georgia to get it out of storage. It was a good day for me. Prayerfully tomorrow will be just as good.

My Bad Attitude

I was thinking about what is the worse part of me. I could mention that I am overweight or that I am not the most fashionable person but that does not really seem to bother me so much. I realize this past week that my bad attitude is a problem. I tend to crictize everything and everyone around me for some excuse or another. And I am at my worst when I am in the car. I think that is because in my mind no one can hear me. So I think I need to correct this attitude as quickly as possible. I start today hopefully be able to updat you later this next week.

Something Good Wrapped Bad

Do ever get the feeling some good is about to happen but the packaging is going to be horrible? That is how I feel today. Not sure what that means in the grand scheme of life but we will see. We have had stormy weather today and yesterday. Which is no never mind to me, I have stayed in all day today and most of yesterday. Tomorrow is Praise Team practice and I need to make a trip to the grocery store. Yes, I realize it is payday weekend but this is what we Army Wives live for a challenge. Hooah! I gave Shadow a bath today. He is so FLUFFY, but he is not liking me at the moment. He is going back to his once a week bath schedule. Like it or not.

Another Last Day

Today I took Merly and Daniel to the airport. So today was their last day on Oahu. it was a bittersweet moment. I think Merly was very happy to be going back to San Diego but she will miss the scenery of Hawaii. I will miss having them around the house. It has been really quiet since I got home about noon today. No baby squeals or chats about Mafia Wars. I did hear from her since they have landed and they are safe in th hotel waiting for Mark to arrive tomorrow evening. I am very happy for them but I will miss them. Hopefully we will get to see them next year when we "hit" the mainland for a while. Now I think I will go to sleep and wait for the dawn. :)

Life is Funny

You would think that the title of my entry today would be a no brainer but let me explain. I think life is a lot things, sad, dramatic, comedic, etc. But today life is just funny. You never think that life will turn out the way life does. I had a great dinner again tonight with a couple of friends. Shared some laughs and had a great time. I am sad that Merly is leaving tomorrow. It was really nice to get to know her this last two years. I am sure we will see each other again but I will be a little sad until then. Shadow seems no worse for the wear. Well, I need to check my email and go to sleep check you out tomorrow. :)

It is Post 100

I cannot imagine that I ave posted one hundred different entries on this blog that is crazy. Today we went to Kailua beach, The Pali Lookout, and the Windward Mall. We also got Kaneohe's Boston North End Pizza. We got the Super Hawaiian. It is awesome! So, I had a pretty good day for post one hundred.

Its Here

The new television arrived today. And I will have to say I was a little in shock. I bought the television for my husaband little did it I know sixty inches was going to just about cover the wall. It is pretty cool. The next season of football is going to pretty good. I do not have much else to say today, I know do not fall over in shock. Tomorrow I hope to have more to report.
