GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT!!!!!

Seth and I are the new owners of a washer and dryer!!! And this is the best part....We got it for free!!!! (does a happy dance) There is a place here on base called Airman's Attick, and basically, people donate whatever they don't want or need anymore. And there is this special spot where you can sign up to be on a list for a washer and/or dryer.

WELL, we have been on that list for 5 months, and yesterday...I got a call saying its our turn! So I went and claimed them. But I had to work that day, so I couldn't take em home. Don't worry though, we got them today, and they work, and it's awesome. The washer is from like the 70's, so the inside is small, but that's ok. And the dryer is super nice. I set them up all by myself, with a little guideance. Lol. But that is my exciting news. I can do laundry for free, and whenever I want! YAYAYYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PEACE!

Finally!!

I finally got a day off after 2 weeks! It is so needed, not just to rest, but to clean! And to TONS of laundry! Its kinda bad, I'm not going to lie. I keep the trash and dishes taken care of, but things are a little hairy, compliments of Suri. Lol. Ah, a day off with Seth means we both are cleaning while relaxing, strange I know. His Mom is always asking me how I get him to clean, but he normally is like, ok, cleaning time. Plus, I have my ways. lol. Our room is full of cloths to be washed and cleaning stuff, and military stuff. Its a wreak.

In other news, I got to talk to essentially my whole immediate family yesterday. It was nice. They all desended on my moms house for Miss Lori Loo's graduation, and so I called. LOL. Everyone was excited to hear from me, at least I hope so, lol. =)

Seth lost hearing in his left ear yesterday at the firing range. It's bound to happen after 10 hours of it. But I am happy to report, his hearing is practically all better now. Yay. He learned how to shoot left handed, because he is left eye dominant, which is pretty cool. I suppose. He passed his second try, which is awesome. Hmm. In 3 months, he tacks on his second stripe. Which is exciting. I think its actually 100 days exactly today, I could be wrong, it's know to happen. I wanna go shooting his M-4 but he has to buy the bullets first. It'll be super exciting to find out if I can still out shoot him, or if the military made him better then me. So we shall see, hopefully in the near future.

Other then that, nothing much is going on right now. I have decided not to buy another puppy for a while, even tho I had puppy fever. lol. Things are good for us, so I don't want to upend anything. Anywho, lunch has arrived with its beautiful italian smells...

Peace, Love, and ITALIAN FOOD!

Congratulations!!!

So today, my baby sister graduated Junior High! Tear* I have so many memories of this little girl, I could go on and on. But I wont and save her some dignity. This pic is the most recent that I have, and sadly, a little out dated. But I just wanted to tell everyone I am so proud of her! Love you Loo

So this new girl

So. The store hired a new lady, who was a friend of someone who already works for us. But, yesterday while I was training her, it was baaad. 2 hours into her shift she was all, I need to sit down for a bit, and I was like, ok, but if anyone comes in, you need to come help. She said that was fine, but when people came, she didn't come help. And then she was slow, which is expected to be new and all, but this was a whole new speed of slow. I actually got called and was told to go faster by the general manager. I told her I can, but I'm not so sure she can. Well, the new girl came in today and quit, saying she didn't think she could go anymore faster, and she didn't like being told what to do by someone who is half her age. In other words, she was offended by the fact that I am younger and training her. She lasted 2 days.

Lol. I kinda feel bad, but at the same time, not so much. But another one of our employees quit today cuz she was moving. My poor manager was near hysterics because everyone was quitting on her, and so when I came into work tonight, she asked me if I was quitting too. So now we are hiring and training again.

Things are going good, we are having lots of heat, and we are working hard. I am getting about 30 to 35 hours a week. But its bed time, so I'll post again another time

I'm in Love

With a new ice cream flavour. Lol, you thought Seth did something cute, didn't you.. Well, he did, but it's just cute Seth things. Anyways, the flavour is Pomegranate Cheesecake. Yum. It's at our local ice cream joint called Braum's. Delicious. Even Seth saya it was interesting, but he doesn't like cheesecake. So he may be bias. Hmmm...

Today was a good day off, we went to a Retirement Ceremony for a Cheif Master Sergent that was one of Seth's higher ups. I can't tell you how many times I heard the number 25 and 1/2 today. It was redunculous. (prenounced re-dun-cue-lous, my own special word) The things this man has done is amazing. He has so many degrees and he wrote a book called Control Your Destiny: A Common Sense Guide to Success by Steven Michael Martinez. This guy is pretty awsome. I wanna get this book. He kinda pulled some lines from it in his farewell speach today and it sounds pretty interesting. I've talked with this guy a few times at work, and he is so nice. But he isn't really retiring, he is moving to Florida to be the chief security person dude at Cape Canaveral. Lol.

Anyway, it's been an overall good day. I am talking myself out of buying a new husky puppy. My boss just bought one, and he is so cute. But I know I am a sucker for puppies, and so is Seth. So we aren't rushing into anything. I can't remember if I've said before, but I am being seriously considered for a management job soon. I got phone calls by 2 of my managers, and had a visit at work by the general manager to talk to me about several things. Anywho, that's all for now, I'm gunna hit the hay, catch some zzz's. Night all!!

Peace, LOVE and Chocolate

Drumroll Please

SO.. Seth took his Job Knowledge test today. And he felt pretty confident that everything went well, but they were taking forever to score them. So we, along with another couple, decided to go to lunch as a celebration to passing, or mourning the failing. Either way, we were eating good. LOL. And then he gets a text, (I mean really, who calls people anymore.) and he PASSED!!!! With a 90! The highest score of this group! Yay! He kinda looked like he was in shock. It made me giggle. So we are super proud and are celebrating. Celebrate with us!

For Mom... and everyone else...

My mother sent me 'hate mail' telling me to post something new. LOL. I knew it had been a while, but I didn't realize HOW long. Sorry about that. Life has been busy. I am loved at my job (Mom says there was never any doubt) and they have entrusted me with a key to the store. They have also started giving me management training, which is cool. I laughed because they were nervous about asking me to come and learn new things, I'm like, I'll learn whatever you want to teach me. They are impressed with me, and there is rumblings about giving me a raise already. GO ME! They have me working A LOT so I don't have tons of time on my hands, and my weekly paychecks are nice. The only bad things about this job so far is, I never get to see Hubby anymore, makes me sad. Luckly, my manager trys to get me a day shift and at least one day off with him. It's true what they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. It's cute, when I come home from closing shift, Hubby will already be asleep, but when I go in the room he says, "Babyz! I miss love you and I missed you so much!" then promptly falls back to sleep. LOL. So at least I know that even his sub consious loves me.

News for him is, the is taking his Job Knowledge test tomorrow, and he feels super good about it. This means, when he passes, we are then eligable to take leave. Yay! BUT, they way the schedual is now, we wont be able to leave till about July. Which is ok, cuz hopefully we will get the early July one, and be back in Cali for the 4th of July rally, which will be the most excitement we've had in a long time. So yes, we are coming, but no, we don't know exactly when.

Let's see. In other news, this town is sooooooooo smalll with noooothing to do. It makes Hollister look like a hopping place. We are the exciting place for our neighboring towns. The closest semi entertaining town is Lawton, which is about 60 miles away. Lamesauce. For example of my towns lameness is... I had to go to 4 stores to get a gift for a friend and co-worker who graduated this last weekend. 1 for balloons, 1 for a card, 1 for chocolates and 1 for a Teddy Bear in a cap and gown. I'm like, seriously, we need a Target. I didn't realize how much I loved the place. The most exciting place to go is Wal-Mart. No joke. (My co worker would say "WOW" but kinda sounding like a cat meowing. It's hard to explain.) Seriously, DENNY'S and STARBUCKS and DUNKON DONUTS couldn't make it in this town. The reason being is, the Committee of 100 are all buisness owners who don't want the town to change. They are afriad of the mom and pop placed being over run. We have no mom and pop places. We have Hotels, Fast Food and Gas Stations. RAWR!!!!

So that's my ranting on the town. If I think of anything I missed, I'll blog again. I'll let ya'll know if anything exciting happens and if Hubby passes his test.

PEACE, Love and Chocolate
