A Quick Blurb

Today was a busy day, but a good one. I am really excited about everything that is coming up and I hope to have some really good posts in the next day or so. NANOWRIMO is coming up and so is my piano recital. The piano recital is first and more scary than I want it to be. But before I run off on a tangent. I need to go to bed and get ready for another fun filled day at MBC. So, good night and good luck.

So the Plan was . . .

Today I planned not to leave the apartment. That part of the plan was successful. The other part of the plan, not as successful. I did get laundry done, the bedroom vacuumed, dishes, etc. What I did not get done was writing a letter to a friend, cleaning up the "home office," writing post cards, etc. And it is not that I did not have the time. I simply did not focus on those things. Which leads me to my main issue in life . . . lack of focus. That is why I have an uncompleted Bachelor's degree, scrapbook things everywhere but in a scrapbook. I am smiling as I type this but it is a sad state of affairs for someone who is thirty-two years. I know it sounds like I am being hard on myself but I am not depressed or feeling unworthy, I find interesting that I start a lot of "projects" that never seem to make it to the end. The only things that ever do seem to make it are things I label obligatory. Which is not all bad but some of those things are not necessary or obligatory by any means. Anyway, off my preaching to myself. Hopefully tomorrow I will finish some projects so I can start on some new ones. I do have a birthday party tomorrow. Hopefully that will be enough of a break to get me motivated both before and after the party.

Untitled Post

I am having a hard time thinking of a title for this post because the subjects are going to be wide spread. First, I had a good time at Bible study and speaking with the preschoolers. I really enjoy talking to them. I think it went over their heads a bit but I will get it right eventually. Second, I had a good time talking with Kelly at her house. It was good to see her feeling better and it was great to laugh. Third, I finally mailed a graduation gift three months late and my mother-in-law's birthday present one month late. Thankfully it is done. Fourth, I got the mailing supplies I needed and a passport application and then realized I probably need to wait until I am in Oklahoma to take care of getting a new passport. Fifth, I helped Carla get some more information for her FRG which is a pretty big thing because lack of communication between the Army and spouses is never a good thing. Sixth and finally, I got my husband's brand new "old" iPod iSound dock to work. It is awesome and so am I. Big smile. I am listening to Norah Jones, ah. So, over all it was good day. I did get a phone from Karl but he was so sleepy, I really got a mumble not a call. At this point though beggars should be no choosers. So, I go to bed contented once again.

On the Fourth Day of the Ninth Month . . .

With a title like that one would think something epic happened today but not really. I washed the car for the first time since I got it. I know I have rinsed it a few times but this the first time I actually washed it. I got the bucket, sponge, hose, etc. I also got sunburn on my arms for all my trouble. I will say though my car looks a lot better. It is looks almost new. The scratches and dings are not gone but most of the dirt is. I had forgotten what my "rims" looked like. They are actually pretty nice looking. I have family stickers on the back window now. I wanted to get a picture of them tonight but my camera was not charged so I will get one tomorrow. Karl came home today for twenty-four hours then it is back to Warrior Leadership. I think he went to sleep around 1830 but I could be a smidgen early on that. He was so tired, but running all day will do that to you. Speaking of running all day I have been up since 0400. I should be in bed myself. I have a salon (that is a joke on me) appointment in the morning. Good night all.

I Cannot Believe I Just Said That . . .

I would usually reserve such a short post for Facebook but I think I am going to post it on here today. I think the few people may stop by here will find it humorous. I was talking to my husband tonight. Some thing we have decided to do every night while he is training. He asked me what I wanted to do when I picked him up on Sunday for his twenty-four hour pass. I cannot believe the words that came out of my mouth. I said, "Stop by Papa John's, grab a pizza, and go home." That is the normal part the next part is crazy. "I need it, if I do not have it, I feel like I will die." It is just pizza. You would think I had not eaten in weeks. We have not had Papa John's in a few months but that is crazy. I had a really good dinner tonight. So I have no idea what my problem is. The funny part is I still want it now at 2131 at night. There goes the plans for a healthier life, weight loss, etc. On that note I am going to bed.

Working on a New Attitude

I am not how long this will last but I am working on a change of attitude so far I really fail at it. When I think I have it figured out, some nut yanks the rug from under me. The funny part is some times that nut is me. Brilliant! I take great pleasure in causing my own downfall or at least I think I do because I do it all the time. I suppose one of these days I will learn not to sabotage myself but until then I will just keep trying. I did however do something I have never done before. I apologized to someone when I realized that I had made a mistake and the mistake was almost a mouth ago. Normally I would have let it go, hoping they would not notice. Today, I was a big girl and owned up to my mistake. Now, if I could learn to not make as many mistakes this might be easier. Well, I should turn in for the night. Sleep well.
