Friday fill-in w/ one tatt!

1. Aside from no deployments, what is one thing you would want to make the Milspouse life perfect?

I'm not technically a Milspouse yet. But I deff know what it's like.
And I would say that the one thing that would make it perfect is if the Army never changed dates and plans OVER AND OVER again. It's like there's not even a purpose when they first tell you about something because you know it's going to change quite a few times between now and then.
2. Just how many peppers did Peter Piper pick?

mmm who cares?

3. If you could have any career in the world with nothing holding you back, what would you do? 

Pharmacist. No doubt about it. I've always wanted to be a nurse, and I am in the middle of nursing school and obtaining my RN.  However, a few months ago I got a job as a pharmacy technician, am just a week away from being done with ALL of my training...and I absolutely LOVE working in the pharmacy. I'm afraid I'm gonna get my RN and want nothing to do with it....but we will see. I'm gonna follow through with it and see. If worst comes to worse, than I can always just go back to school!

4. Do you have a service oriented tattoo and if so, what is it? If you don't, what would you get?

No...although I do have my first tattoo that I got just a few days after Jon left for basic training over two years ago. It says "strength" and it's to remind me to have strength every single day because no matter what, you will always make it through the day..so make the best of it. so it is somewhat military oriented..but not really.
and I doubt I'd get one military related, but ya never know...i'm very spontaneous..and I do like the little yellow ribbon like on the side of your neck behind your ear..i think that'd be cute.
5. Imagine a block of time has opened up in your busy day for you to take a class in anything you like. What subject would you choose? 



education related: sign language
non-education related: pole dancing classes (NO not stripper classes, pole dancing classes. you should you tube it...those girls get in shape FAST).    orrrr I'd take belly dancing classes!

men....suck...

and are SO DANG FRUSTRATING!

Jon's been a mood kill lately..you know like a buzz kill although a mood kill. yep.
That pretty much sums it up right there.

I can't do or say anything to get him to cheer up. It's like why do I even bother...and shouldn't he be happy he has me? and at least say some nice things back?

Our entire 5 minute convo on the phone earlier today was him complaining non-stop about his roommate and how much he hates his roommate and how he wants to be home and how he hates everything. Like wow thanks? So, on the phone I tried saying some things to get him to "see the big picture" but that didn't work. And just now, I thought I would be sweet and I wrote on his facebook wall this
"I love you. & I really hope today is a good day for you and things start getting betters. Miss you, always.."
He replied with this:
"don't get your hopes up"


Really?


Oh wells. I know he'll get over it all on his own..and I'm doing all I can do by just listening. 
And another thing, I really wish he would learn to not think that everything is about him. I swear all he thinks of is himself usually..it's all about him.  He has no idea how I feel, about any of this deployment stuff..I'm sure he just assumes like with everything...but he doesn't realize what it's like for me. I know it's super hard for him and everything else, and I'm sympathetic and there for him....but with me, he doesn't even bother to ask how I am. it's always him bitchin.


end of rant. and excuse my french.

finalllyyyy!

I'm finally sitting down and taking the time to do this (and currently doing this instead of homework!)

As you all know, I've been NON-STOP busy with work one day (8 or 9 hr shifts), school the next, and sometimes both. Squeeze in homework and eating and sleeping = time for nothing else.
But it'll slow down here soon, at least temporarily.

Lets start with Valentine's day...woo...hahahha.  I've never been one of those girls that loves vday.. so this year with Jon being gone, I really couldn't of cared less about it, obviously.  Jon got his vday package a few days before vday, and he opened it and LOVED what I got him.  Besides all the food and junk, I got him a photobook that I made on shutterfly, and an xbox game..and made him a card, and got him Valentines peanut m&m's b/c he's ADDICTED to them I swear lol.
I had class, but I DID fix my hair and dress cute-ish.  When I got home at 9pm, I had a smallll package waiting for me...a $50 giftcard to Victoria's Secret. Yea buddy! He did good :)

A few days later I went to the mall and got myself a few basic tank tops from Forever 21...got my free things from Bath & Body works..and went to Victoria's Secret and spent most of that giftcard on a new Hot Pink bikini! Ooo-la-la. and I've gotten to wear it once! hahahah.....so lets explain that

Okay so I got picked as one of 5 people to come into this kickbutt local radio station.  They were painting letters on us to spell out the word "Blamo" which stands for "Blazor & Mo" (the two guys that do the morning show stuff on their radio station).  Quick background, this is a rock/metal station, and they speak their minds and are a bunch of typical "rocker guys" in a way. So me and this other girl were told to wear white shirts so that they could paint those..since they were painting the guys' bare chests.  Well being smart me, I wore my bikini underneath..because I was like I know how these guys think, and they will so try drenching us in water or something.  Well that was actually a dumb move.

I got there, and them seeing that I had a bikini on, they wanted me to take my tank top off obviously and get my stomach painted. i was like "uhm I don't think my bf would like that"....we were going to be on TELEVISION! on the news.  but thennnnn they were like "well if you let us paint your stomach, I'll let you stay and talk to the guy who gives away free concert tickets..". So I was in. See here:

Sooo, I got to stay, and as I was talking to Theo, the guy who gives away tickets, I was like "listen...my boy is deployed in Iraq right now and doesn't come home until The END of this year...however, he has leave dates during (such and such dates)..which is when (such and such huge concerts) is. And he REALLY wants to go.." and Theo was like "For SURE!! I'll definitely hook you up...we might even do a segment on the radio about it and have you come in and talk...it'll be a few weeks, but email me today so I have your info".

So yay me..I scored Jon and I tickets that are over $250!!! And if his leave dates change and he can't go, I'll take a friend. But I'm pumped either way..it'll just be better if Jon can go with.

And speakin of Jon...he wasn't too thrilled about that picture above. But he knew it was only to score him tickets that he wanted badly that are very expensive..so he kept his mouth shut..but I knew he was mad. He was a jerk the whole next few days. But oh well, he got over it. I knew he'd be mad if I didn't get my stomach painted to win him tickets...it's like no matter what you do they are never satisfied! lol.

Okays, so thats enough for tonight. I'm exhausted & have a paper to write. joyss of college life.

Crazyness, Men & their jealousy!

Valentines day, work everyday, class, tests, roomie night, roommate drama, on radio & tv, winning concert tickets, little sleep, and somewhat angry boyfriend & his controlling-ness. .

As you can tell, my life has been very hectic lately, which explains my extreme lack of posting :(
HOWEVER, I do have a sweettttttt blog post coming soon! It will be entertaining I'm sure and discuss all those things I've mentioned above. Plus some pics :)
I've also lacked on the working out department :( it's like by the time I get home, I just want to eat, do my homework that's due that night, and hit the bed..or have a drink & then hit the bed LOL.

In the meantime, I've been up since 4am (it's now almost one) and I work from 4p-midnight.....so that means it is NAP TIME and that I'm going to be living on energy drinks for the next 12 hours. WOO.

<3

fill in friday :)

1.   The TV show/website that I watch/read that I would be embarrassed to tell anyone about is   jersey shore? the bachelor? gossip girl? I'm not embarrassed to tell people those, but I am a sucker for reality tv. Hahaha :)

2.  An item of clothing that is worn and torn but that I love far to much to throw away is  non-existent. I'd never throw away any of my clothes that are actually Jon's (duh). Oh and I have a little teeny tiny baby shirt from when I was a newborn that says the hospital I was born at and is pink. I'll neverrr throw that out!
But I can't think of any clothes that are worn out that I'd not throw away.

3.  My grocery store impulse buy is  carbs! lol which consists of everything I know. But one day it'll be energy drinks. The next time it'll be cookies, the next time sour patch kids.  It seems I always impulsively but ONE thing that I should not be buying. Ahwell.

4.  Something I do at work to pass time that I wouldn't want my co-workers to know about is uhh I have no idea. I'm always so busy at work. and any down time = restroom time, snack time, and texting back those that have texted me. But it's nothing my co-workers don't know.

5.  One thing in my life that I could give up, but never will is   social networking. I can't say that I'd NEVER give it up, because never is such a strong word.  I love my blog/facebook/twitter. Another thing that I SHOULD give up but don't' see that happening is caffeine. I tried to stop drinking energy drinks (nothing but Monster zero cal or lo-carb of course), but I still drink them. I do drink less...but I love to have them at work. So if I'm at work without a Monster, I buy a pop or tea.....I think I might have something wrong with me because i'm ALWAYS tired...even with caffeine, but the caffeine helps, so I dont wanna give it up :P  Atleast it's usually zero-cal or diet right? LOL

6.  A little indulgence that I have is ICECREAM. Ice cream is my biggest weakness, by far. However, I've done pretty good at keeping it out of my freezer. But whenever my friends or family suggest/offer ice cream, I can NEVER turn it down, no matter how full I am. MMMM.
Anything with peanut butter and chocolate in it = mmmm, delic'!

7.  The junk drawer/area in my house is ...I honestly don't really have one in my new apartment...(yet).  Now of course some areas in my room are messier than others, but I don't have a junk place really. I do have a corner down in the basement that has boxes of who knows what that is all junk. But all my daily junk gets sorted through and trashed or put away quickly :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay so I"m also doing the Milspouse Weekly Roundup so link up ladies!

((Roundup @ The Lowe Family))

And to the new followers, HEY HEYYY! :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So Tattoo (my cat) is home and doing well after getting his manhood fixed today.  I had work training for 2 hours today, but was super anxious to get home to cuddle with him...which he has been ALL DAY....non-stop cuddling and sleeping on me....SO much better than him terrorizing me. :P

And last but not least, I felt like doing a little section to give you more info on my other half...since recently my blog has been about well ME. But he's a huge part of my life, and for you  new followers, now you'll get to meet Jonathan, aka Jon my boyyyy :)

This is him. (showing off his tatts)

(he's MY ginger, hehehhe)

He is in the Army National Guard. and he is a Chaplain's Assistant.

(him and his Chaplain)

They are BOTH complete goofs:

(his Chap.)

(Jon)

And this is the smile I miss, and it is obvious here how happy this boy is and how happy he makes me :)

Poor kittyy.

My poor lil guy has a rough day ahead of him, and tomorrow (well I should say today since in 5 hours I have to get up), I am taking Tattoo to the vet....to get fixeddd. YAY!
Hopefully this really will calm him down some! But at 7 am I will be in the office waiting for the vet to come check him out, determine he is okay for surgery, and then leave Tattoo there until afternoon. I feel bad because as soon as I get him home, I'm gonna have to leave for a few hours of Pharmacy training. but I forsee lots of cuddling tomorrow night..and an actual night of peaceful sleep! (fingers crossed).
Currently he's passed out...and I'm hoping he stays asleep for the next 5 hours...he's not allowed to have any food between now and then...so I know he'll get pissy if he wakes up.


ANYWAYS. boy is out on a mission still, but I should get to talk to him tomorrow! I miss him :/ But I couldn't be happier with our relationship, no jokee.

School..is going good. surprisingly things have started looking up.  I've been doing really good somehow, and I'm very proud of myself because most of this stuff I just naturally already know, which amazes me that I'm getting such great grades with so little studying this quarter. YAY
Speaking of school, I just spent HOURS figuring out my schedule for next quarter...its ridiculously difficult when you have absolutely no classes you HAVE to take until fall..so I sat there debating what I should or shouldn't take...doesn't help that registration started a week ago so classes were picked over. But I got it figured out...and two of them are online classes..so when Jon comes home (on R&R), I will only have to go to class Mon& weds 9-11:20! hehehe.

I'm really freakin tired all of a sudden and since I have to get up in a few hours, I'm gonna cut this short and update more later. Hopefully with pictures and things actually interesting :P I need to get back to it with my blogging!

Back in action..

Finally I'm just about fully recovered, besides the still going on cold...but you'll have that!
After a few days of meds, I got to feeling much better and was back to work and school and catching up.
Monday night I got a call from the Dr. saying my lab results came back...and I had been positive for H1N1!!!!!!!!!! CRAZY-NESS! I was like "oh ok...wait WHAT!".  But luckily they had given me meds for that as well since they wouldn't get the tests back for a few days.
Stankin work makes me sick...the one disadvantage of working in a Pharmacy.

Anyways, my working out has somewhat slacked off because of being sick and then working or having school everyday. Ugh. But I'm on level 3 of Julian Michaels' 30-day shred. I've been alternating daily though between her and the p90x Ab Ripper workout.  This way it's not TOO much of an exhaustion on my trying-to-recover body. Plus I'm focused on just toning, not losing more weight!

Yesterday Jon made my day and I got a card in the mail :)  It was so sweet. And inside were loads of different post-it notes for me to "do whatever with" and they were adorable. I stuck them on my bulletin boards in my room and I put one on my alarm clock. They all have various sayings such as "I love you", "I miss you", "I (Jon) <3 you", "You is veawy special 2 me" (that one is on my alarm clock hehe). And some of them have little stick figures drawn of me and him. hahahahha.
I'm so excited to send him another package for Valentine's day. I made a free photobook and vday card for him on shutterfly and just had to pay shipping. So I'm going to send him those, along with valentines peanut m&m's, ramen (he requested) and some monster energy stickers. Idk what else to send, probably just food because I figured that was a pretty decent Valentine's package..especially since he's not much of a fan of Vday. Oh and I'm going to make choc chip cookies too.
What are you sending or getting your man for Vday?? Any good ideas? I really want to get boudoir pictures done sometime for him...but I'm way too poor :(


Another random thought/update...I'm SO ready for the weekend. Mind you that my weekend doesn't start till friday night at midnight (so saturday), but I'm gonna be driving to my hometown after I get off work. That way I will have all day Saturday & Sunday (and part of Monday) free to do whatever. I can't wait to catch up with all my friends. Life isn't much fun without friends nearby!

Well thats about all, gotta go study...Nursing school doesn't like to give me breaks. :P
