A Glance Inside the Randomness that is my Life

Crazy, crazy, crazy....

2010-03-19T16:10:00.000-07:00

Sorry it has been so long. Things around here have been nuts. Sky was preparing to test for tech, I got slammed with school, we were watching a dog, then I was working on an application, cover letter, and resume for a job. So lots of writing, thinking, working... But first snowboarding.

We went on a snowboarding trip on the 5 and 6th to a resort called Naqua Shirakami. It was a good time. We did two runs when we arrived and it was pretty rough because I still can't go on my toe edge so my quadriceps were KILLING me. But after we did those two runs we decided to go and eat at the buffet. At the buffet we had what I like to call the dinner challenge. Chris is big on trying everything so he ended up with raw cuttlefish guts. Then Gian, who is only big on trying things he thinks will be tasty ended up with what he thought was some sort of apple custard. Apparently it tasted like lard. Well Chris started mixing the cuttlefish and the apple lard together and then decided he would pay Michelle 7000 yen if she would eat it. There was a large spoonful of this nastyness but Michelle went for it after some deliberation. It. Was. EPIC. She wasn't able to swallow it so she ended up throwing up a little but it was hilarious. She was a trooper about it. So, after dinner silliness we went up to our rooms. The girls and I shared a room and the boys shared one. The guys and Satoko went snowboarding again at the terrain park to do some jumps and stuff and Michelle and I were going to get massages and then we were all going to go to a festival together. They were supposed to come meet us back at the room but one of Chris' bindings broke so Michelle and I ended up just staying in since we didn't know where to go.

But after that we all ended up going to the onsen. It was Michelle's first time ever and it was my first time in a VERY long time. It was, interesting. lol We were really uncomfortable at first and it took everything in our power not to turn and leave but we knew if we wanted to do anymore snowboarding the next day we would need the hot water. So we proceeded. It was nice showering down there because there was actually conditioner (there wasn't any in our room). Then we walked quickly (hiding in towels) to the onsen. The water was amazing. Thankfully when we were in the actual bath there wasn't really anyone else in there. It made it a little less awkward. Also we were extremely worried that because we were Americans that people would stare at us but they really didn't so that was good. It was really fun, I'm excited for next season. I'm hoping I'll be able to get gear before then so I don't have to rent every time. I also hope that we start earlier and I'm able to get my toe edge! lol But we shall see.

Back to everything else. The results for tech aren't in yet and won't be for a while. Sky is growing a playoff 'stache. And super importantly I got that job I was hoping for!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D I'm so excited. I start on Monday. There's been some other stuff going on but I don't want to talk about that just yet. But alas I must leave. I have a lot of stuff to do because things are going to start getting busier. Sorry it's been forever I'm going to try and stop sucking. :s

P-p-p-passion Partay!!!

2010-02-20T18:45:00.000-08:00

Hellz yes. Yesterday I had my passion party. It was not as big a turnout as I thought it would be but it was still pretty good. We still have a bit of subway left... anyone want a sandwich? My new friend, Krista, made some cheese balls and coconut shrimp and I barely have any of those left. While the girls were downstairs partying some of the guys were upstairs putting a dent in the massive amount of beer Sky and I somehow acquired.

From the beginning here. At 1600 Sky and I went to pick up the subway platters. When we got back to the rec room the passion party consultant got there just a couple minutes later. So we let her in and she started setting up. Sky and I went up and grabbed some things from the apartment and then he left to go get Krista. At four thirty a friend (K) showed up. The consultant had everything set up so we (her, K, and I) were all hanging out, talking, waiting for other people when the door opens; it's some guy holding pizza. He's standing there staring at us and we're just staring back at him. I say "I think you have the wrong tower, who are you looking for?" As he's about to talk he sees the table, he says "Oh.... you have... that..." (probably referring to the huge, bright pink, double ended dildo) and he starts slowly and awkwardly backing out of the room. It was REALLY amusing. So after that happened I was starting to get concerned about everyone else. I called Gian (he was bringing Satoko) but he didn't pick up. Then I called Kyle (he was bringing Heidi and her friend) but he didn't pick up. Right after that Michelle walked in, she was pretty surprised that no one was there yet. I told her that I called and asked her if she had her friend's (that she invited) number. She told me she lived in my tower, on my floor and it turned she's my next door neighbor. lol So Michelle went upstairs to get D and then I called and got a hold of both Gian and Kyle. So Gian came in first and got the key to my apartment since Sky wasn't back with Krista yet. Then Kyle came and Heidi and her her friend. (*Note: I can't remember Heidi's friend's name so I'm going to call her "Scully" and if she reads this I hope she won't be mad at me for that. But other readers, the story behind Scully is that Sky started calling her that because of the color of her hair and it stuck. She doesn't like it very much though.)

So we started right before Krista showed up. We played a game. Then Krista got there for the second game. Then we played one more. Then got some food and the consultant started her show. I had a ton of fun. Michelle brought me some awesome boobie brownies. See?

Okay. Well I'm FINALLY going to watch Sherlock Holmes so bai.

A (mostly) wicked awesome Valentine's day!!

2010-02-14T22:49:00.000-08:00

But I'll start off with the night before...

We went to dinner after Michelle got off work. She and Gian took us to the huge Vikings out in Hachinohe as a thanks for watching their furbabies while they were in Sopporo. We decided we'd head to Nitori (housewares type store) first so they could look at the beds that were available. So we wandered around in there for a bit and then we went back to the car so we could go eat. Gian turns the key in the ignition and it makes this sad little sound and then just dies... He kept trying and at first everything would turn on (lights, radio etc) but after a few times none of that stuff would come on and it didn't even click. We started to freak out a bit because it was cold, we were like an hour away from Misawa, we were starving, and even with all four of us we spoke a sad amount of Japanese. After a while a Japanese guy came up and talked to Sky and Gian a little and then he left. We guessed he was going to get jumper cables. While he was gone though, my husband being a total badass got it to start. We waited around for a long time but the guy didn't come back so we left. We felt kind of like assholes but we couldn't wait any longer. So random Japanese guy if you're reading this for some reason gomen!!!

We were dumbasses though because we decided to roll the dice after Sky got the car started and go eat anyway. So we ate a ton of food and then we went to leave, and of course the car wouldn't start again so Sky had to get on the ground under the car in like four inches of snow to bang on the starter to get it to start.

So in the morning Sky and I got up and got ready and headed over to Michelle and Gian's where we met up with them, Chris, and Satoko so we could go boarding. We headed over to Makado. Our first two runs we went on the shorter lift. I failed some but not terrible. Then our last run we went all the way to the top which you actually have to take two lifts up to. That's when I started to fail more. lol I rode with Satoko at the top and when I got off I fell and knocked into her and then the lift hit her and then she hit a pole on the side. I felt so bad! I bet she never wants to ride a lift with me again. I also made Michelle face-plant. I hit Chris once but he didn't fall. I hit Sky a few times, never made him fall, but I snowboarded over his brand new board. :( I felt really bad about that.

I did alright. I really need to learn to be on my toe edge. I also need to learn how to turn better. I'm sort of getting the hang of stopping without falling. But we discovered that I can ride regular or goofy, which I guess is odd. But whatev.

I really only hurt myself really bad once. I was going along and this little girl, who was maybe four, was skiing and cut in front of me. She was so close to me that her skis hit my board so the only way I could stop was by throwing myself on the ground. I dislocated my shoulder pretty bad but I was able to get it back in and get all the way down. I fell on it once more at almost the very bottom of the mountain and then I decided I was done for the day. I didn't think I could take another hit to that shoulder. It seems better now. Only hurts when there is pressure on it. Hopefully in a couple days it'll be all better.

Enjoy this pic from Makado of all of us.

I'm so excited!!! They're gorgeous!!! Here's a picture.

Lol. Sorry about the super shiny fingers, I had just put lotion on. Apparently I used a bit much.

Anyway, I'm still thrilled about them and I wanted to come post the pictures. We're going to dinner tonight out in Hachinohe with Gian and Michelle so I may post again after that.

Kyle's ALS Graduation

2010-02-11T05:49:00.000-08:00

So tonight was Kyle's ALS graduation. I'm pretty sure all of you know what that means but in case some of you don't it stands for Airman Leadership School. Everyone has to go to it after making staff to learn how to become an NCO. We actually had a pretty good time. Those things can get kind of boring but it was nice having friends around. Plus most of the speakers tried to be short and amusing so that was nice too. I totally rocked a kimono! lol I was told by some guy that I was hands down the best dressed tonight. ^____^ That was pretty cool. Here's a picture.

It's such a pretty kimono! Mad props to my friend who help me put it on and did my hair. I have no clue how she gets it on all by herself! That's crazy! Also, I know it's a bit TMI but it's kinda hard to pee in those things! lol Seriously, though, rather difficult. Also, I know why people in kimonos are always kneeling. The obis are not really conducive to sitting. I needed like a barstool or something. It was so weird to sit. And I couldn't crack my back. That was like the first thing I did when I got out of the kimono.

But yeah, I had a good time. But I'm super tired so I think I'm going to head to bed. We'll probably go snowboarding this weekend so I'll blog about that. Also, I get my rings back tomorrow so I'll try and get a good picture of those. おやすみみなさん！ (Good night everybody!)

Sooooooooo....

2010-02-04T21:33:00.000-08:00

I started blogging on Friday but ended up not being able to finish because midway through I got a call from Sky (at about 1630) asking me if I had a dress ready because we needed to be at a banquet at 1800. (Awesome, huh?) So I get off the computer and jump in the shower and get all dolled up. Sky had not much time to get his blues ready but we succeeded and got to the e-club early. We had no clue what we were doing there, Sky was just asked to get ready and call his Chief when we got to the club. Turns out we were there so Sky could represent him because he couldn't attend. So here we are a SSgt and his wife sitting in the spots for a CMSgt and his wife surrounded by more CMSgts, SMSgts, and selects for Chief and Senior MSgt. Not awkward at all... lol. Luckily a friend of mine was there. So that was cool. Well we both had a couple of drinks so we took a cab home.

Saturday morning Sky got up before me and went and got the truck. I told him to wake me up when he got home and he did. He told me he went to the BX and started showing me all this stuff he came home with. He showed me a bear, a bag with perfume and body wash, and a reusable shopping bag. He said they gave him all the stuff for free. I asked if they were having a promotion or something and he said yeah, and then he pulled out a box and said they also gave me this, he opened it and there was my new bridal set. A princess cut diamond solitaire and a matching white gold band. (I can't get a good picture though :( )I cried because it was so sweet of him to go out and get it for me. Completely unexpected. I was hoping I would get it around Christmas this year but I guess he thought it was too long. The reason I needed new rings is because mine were tearing my finger up. They're not comfort fit bands, it's kind of hard to explain but I can't wear them anymore. lol Unfortunately the rings are too big so I can't wear them on my ring finger right now but they're so pretty that I've been wearing them on my middle finger. I think I might start a new trend. :p

We had Roxy this weekend while Michelle and Gian were in Sapporo. She was been fun, exhausting sometimes, but fun. I gave her her first doggy ice cream. She seemed to love it.
Here she is eating some off a spoon.

(Isn't she effen adorable??)

Michelle and Gian got back tonight and came by to pick them up. They also brought us some cookies that can only be purchased in Hokkaido. They're tasty! They have to be all complex though lol. They were wrapped, then in a box, then individually wrapped. I don't think I've ever worked so hard for cookies.

Awesomely delicious. Man, everyone is trying to get me fat though! lol Michelle and Gian bringing cookies, Sky bought me an effen three pound heart. That's right. Three pounds! Apparently there isn't enough of me and Sky wants to make more. Three pounds more, maybe? lol

In other news I drove all around base tonight. In snow and ice! Yay for Sky drinking and us being hungry and lazy lol. That was the motivation. Food. I'll do a lot of things for food. It's definitely the people that make me so uncomfortable driving. I only got REALLY nervous when we fishtailed a little bit, but I'd say that's understandable. So after Sky tests (when he has more time) we're going to drive around at night when people aren't really on the road and get me really comfortable with everything and then slowly I'll start venturing out to places during the day. So that's the plan.

.... Yeah.... so I've pretty much got nothing else to say and I'm tired as hell so... night.

Snowboarding in Shichinohe

2010-01-31T04:12:00.000-08:00

Today I went snowboarding with Michelle and Satoko. The guys couldn't come because they've been working A LOT and on really crazy schedules so they needed to sleep and relax. We had a blast! We went to a place in Shichinohe called Sogamori. We started off on the bunny slopes where I got off to a really rough start. I kept falling, I needed help getting up, it was crazy. But Michelle and Satoko were starting to look bored so I decided let's just go up, it's a small slope anyway. Here's a picture of how big it is.

(This is the front, we went down the back.)

So I decided let's just go on the lift. I got on the lift great, getting off was a much different story. I was still holding on to the chair and the guy starts yelling at me... needless to say I ate some serious shit. I twisted my leg wrong, but luckily I landed on my board so I sort of just sledded off to the side out of the way. My leg hurt pretty badly but I decided to keep going. Man, the first go it took me FOREVER to get down. I continued to bust ass but Michelle and Satoko were very patient with me. Satoko even had to get out of her board a few times to come help me up. lol It was pretty bad. So when we finally got to the bottom (like an hour and a half later, no joke) we decided we needed a break. We had already unstrapped from our boards and there was a small hill on the way to the rest area so we decided to sled it (which we had done earlier in the day) and somehow I got turned around and then I looked over my shoulder and saw a board hauling ass down the hill toward the building and I look down and I'm not on my board. I looked up in terror (it was a rented board) as it slammed against the building and bounced off. It was pretty amusing, I wish someone had gotten it on video. Obviously the board was fine (it even got all the snow cleaned off from the impact :D) and we went in for a break. After a short breather Satoko went down once alone and seriously only took like 10 minutes (lift included) and then we decided to go down it together once more.

The second time around I did SOOOOO much better. I only fell a couple of times, I was able to get up by myself. It was a blast. We made it down in like 10 to 15 minutes (not including the lift). I didn't fall directly off the lift but there is a barrier and I thought I wasn't going to be able to stop so I grabbed on to Satoko but when she tried to stop my board ran into hers and I accidentally brought her down right on top of me. It was amusing, it's too bad Michelle didn't see it. Satoko is so funny, because even though it was completely my fault she kept apologizing to me. I didn't even get hurt because she weighs like, nothing. Anyway, point is, snowboarding is awesome. I can't wait to go again. Sky and I might go by ourselves next weekend so he can give me some one on one training. But here, enjoy some action shots of me.

Okay, well now I'm tired and want to go to bed. Oyasumi.

I know, I suck, my bad!

First, my Yokosuka trip. I went to see Danielle for her birthday! I wasn't sure it was going to happen since I had to rely on Space A and sometimes that isn't easy to catch. But obviously I did, and it was fine. So I flew in to see her and stayed for a week. When I first got there we mostly just hung out at her house and prepped for her party. We also started watching Glee so now there's another show I have to keep watching! (Way to go, Danielle :p) I had a blast with them though.

The big thing we did was our trip to Tokyo where we went to H&M and Forever21 in Harajuku, stopped and checked out one of the busiest intersections in the word in Shibuya, went to the Square Enix store in Shinagawa, and stopped in Yokohama for sticker pictures and the store with a ton of Totoro stuff! I didn't take pictures of that store because I thought I would die from all the cute. Seriously, Danielle and I were freaking out. But here are pictures from everything else.

Lulz

Unfortunately pictures weren't allowed to be taken on the inside. I was sad faced because there was some pretty amusing stuff in there! But here's another picture of the outside.

For some reason those condoms are named George and Emily. So after Harajuku we headed over to Shibuya... by accident. We thought that's where the Square Enix store was but after further investigation we discovered it was actually in Shinagawa. But we took advantage of our misdirection and took some pictures and video of one of the busiest intersections in the world... well in Japan at least. Here is a photo of all the people waiting to cross. That's right outside Shibuya station, we're in the Starbucks across the street.

And here are people crossing.

So yeah, that scene in the Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift... Complete bullshit. Just in case you were wondering. So yeah, after we watched that like a billion times we headed back into the train station (holding hands as we crossed like a bunch of foreigners) to head to Shinagawa.

In Shinagawa we only did the Square Enix store. Here are some pictures of that. We took a billion so I'm not going to put them all in here, just a few.
Here was the front.

Giant Cactuar!

On the "first floor" (there were like three stairs) had all the plush dolls and less pricey stuff. "Upstairs" were the more detailed collectibles and jewelery and stuff. And in the ground there was a giant Sephiroth replica.

I thought it was amazing, so here is a close up.

And now I'm getting lazy so I'm just going to add some of the pictures of the figurines and if you don't know them ask, look them up, or ... too bad for you. :)

Word.

And now I'm too tired to discuss anything else. Came home. School ended (got an A). Went to a going away. People got drunk. It was funny. Made a new friend. School started. I'm going snowboarding soon so I'll be back to post about that. Later!

Our trip to Aomori

2010-01-04T02:11:00.000-08:00

Bright and early Sunday morning Sky and I headed over to Michelle and Gian's house. Satoko met us there and then we all headed out to Aomori. Michelle and Satoko were going horseback riding and Gian took Sky and I to the big Buddha. It was so amazing. Check out the photos!

This is the temple that was on the way.

This is a little fountain/waterfall thing that I thought was pretty on the way.

Here is the outside of the big Buddha.

Oh it was so beautiful. You have to take off your shoes and it was FREEZING in there! But so worth it. Here are some photos of the inside.

These were on the walls in the middle. Also in the area was a little shrine here's a picture of that.

Then there was a little statue. Here is Sky and I in front of it.

I told you it was cold in there! After we took some pictures in there we went upstairs and saw these:

I guess people purchase these and they get engraved and they are prayed for every day. I wanted to buy one and just take it home! I bet they were kind of pricey though. So that was the big Buddha.

After that and when Michelle and Satoko were done riding we went for lunch at Tony Roma's. One was just built out there. It was delicious! Too bad it's so damn far away. After our amazing lunch we went by a second hand shop to look for a snowboard for me. Michelle had found one there for a great deal and I wanted to see if I could get one as well. Unfortunately I struck out so I'm still looking, Satoko is helping out a lot. She is checking all the Japanese sites and auctions for me. Hopefully I can find one soon so that we can go sometime. I guess I can rent from outdoor rec if it's taking a while. Anyway, I will update when there's more on that. Well that's my update, hope you enjoyed it. :)

My bad yo...

2009-12-28T05:01:00.000-08:00

I know it's been a LONG time since I've blogged. My bad yo... I've been slackin. My last update was Thanksgiving. So here is what I can remember in chronological order.

November 27 was the 35th AMXS Holiday party. We had fun, there was a band. Sky had some drinks and I was his DD for the night. We didn't win anything unfortunately but it's cool, we still had some fun. Gian participated in a singing contest and won. It was pretty awesome. Gian and Michelle left pretty early so they didn't see the band. Sky and I decided to stay and we're pretty amused and shocked by some of the drunk people. So that was that.

On December 1 Sky left for Singapore for a TDY. He had a great time. He was pool or beach side practically the entire three weeks he was there. Color me jealous. I was up here freezing my arse off. lol I'm only slightly bitter, I promise. Anyway, while he was there he got his incentive flight and he had a blast. He also had some great food and some great memories. He only came back with a few battle wounds. He injured his foot a little surfing and he busted his nose doing a dive. While he was gone I just hung out with some friends and worked on school work.

Sky got back on the 19 of December and that is when my school break started. He got the week off from work as well so we really enjoyed our time off together. Before he left for Singapore we got really into "How I Met Your Mother." We had watched the first two seasons before he left and we rented the third when he got back and we couldn't find the fourth to rent... and that brings us to Christmas!

Christmas was fantastic! We got seasons 1-4 of "How I Met Your Mother" from Sky's parents. They also sent Sky the first two seasons of "Metalocalypse" and me the entire series of "My So-Called Life" (which I'm watching now actually :D). We also received their box of EPICNESS today that included Christmas peeps, pirate booty, Day of the Dead stuff, and my absolute favorite item EPIC lip balm. (Shown Below)

We had an excellent Christmas and I hope that everyone else had one as wonderful as ours. Following our opening of presents we had a pot luck with some friends in a rec room in the bottom of our neighboring tower. We had some good food and had a great time. My ham came out pretty good. I thought with all he stuff included in the recipe it would be a little different but it mostly tasted like ham. lol So we ate and hung out and played some Pictionary, which is always fun.

After a few people left a couple of other friends came by the house and hung out for a bit and then after one of them left (after a very amusing battle with the chain lock on our door) we and our other friend went out. We went to a hookah bar called Karma and shared a cherry and grenadine sheesha hookah. Then we went to the bar My Place where the guys sang some karaoke. We got home at around 3 where we talked to family and then finally went to bed.

Since then I've just been relaxing and not wanting to work on school. lol I'll probably start tomorrow. We're working with Access... ugh... Seriously. Anyway, I'm out of practice so my hands are starting to hurt. :p So here, enjoy pictures of my Christmas tree because I'm proud of myself!

2009-11-26T20:25:00.000-08:00

lulz. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope all yours was as great as mine was. We went over to Michelle's and there were nine people there (including Michelle and Gian and Sky and I). Everyone brought something and we all had good food and great fun. After a few people left the remaining of us (Sky, Kyle, Gian, Chris, Michelle, and me) played a very amusing game of pictionary. Sky and Kyle won. The title of this blog was one that Michelle guessed that I thought was hilarious. It was an all play and obviously the word was "Stick figure" and I couldn't believe she guessed it because anything involving people I drew stick figures. lol So that was pretty amusing. Some of those drawings were NSFW though. lol Point is we had a blast. All the food was delicious.

There is the turkey that Michelle and Gian made and to the left is the pasta salad I made. I got the recipe from a friend (thanks again, dude!) and it turned out well. I had to deviate a little but it tasted right to me. I also made my mom's gravy and that came out really well so I was excited about that.

Michelle and Gian also made the mashed potatoes. Chris made some really good mac and cheese. Dave and his wife Bhea made some awesome candid sweet potatoes. They also brought breads and apple pie. Kyle brought some really good pumpkin pie and Satoko, Michelle's friend, brought a squash turnover. It was all awesome.

Anyway, I just wanted to talk about that but I have to go now. I have a GIANT exam and tons of other things I need to get done so I probably won't be around for a couple of days.

Happy thanksgiving again everyone!

WTF? And homosexuals can't get married because god help us if they did it would make our straight people marriages less meaningful. Because you know, us heteros all have the most bestest reasons to get married and our love is stronger and more worthy of the rights to marriage then theirs.

Seriously though. I honestly do not get it. I don't see how people can think that the "sanctity of marriage" is more violated by two consenting adults who love each other than it is by two people who hate each other, or one person who deceived another, or those who have their "practice marriages" (which I've posted about before). It is beyond ridiculous. And the worst part of it is these people think that their opinions matter and that their beliefs should be the ones followed. Yet, do you know what sort of outrage it would cause if divorce, adultery, and birth control became issues we got to vote on? Those are all things that are in the bible (and yes some people do choose to follow those, but not most). A woman on OHO said it best, she said that people go on about how the bible is interpreted differently by everyone and that people follow their own beliefs on what it means to them but when it isn't their "sin" that is up for discussion it is about Christianity and not their interpretation of the bible. So thank you N.W.

Point is it shouldn't be your (general you) decision what two people do. It bugs me even more when the people who say they "don't care what 'they' do" still vote against it. Whatever happened to the "land of the free"? Or you know, separation of church and state? Grrrrr....

Anyway, I have to clean and do homework. I have two exams I need to study for.

Sorry it's been a while. Been busy with school. Lots to do. IFSM and Social Psych are a lot more time consuming than I expected them to be. School is pretty much the only thing going on with me. Sky is leaving for a TDY soon so we decided to put up the Christmas tree mad early so he can get to enjoy it. Here's a picture of it.

What do you think? I should ask Michelle if I can post a picture of her tree when it's done because I have a feeling it's going to be gorgeous.

She and I have already decided that after Christmas when everything goes on sale we're buying a ton of stuff. They have these REALLY pretty ornaments at the BX but they're like $3 a piece. So when those babies go on sale, oh yeah, we're all over that. lol

But I do have to get back to school. I have tons to do and not much time. I'll try and post again soon.

If you are easily offended and absolutely love Twilight you may not want to read this. There is strong language (but really, what is different about that than anything else I post). But even if you dig Twilight but you have a good sense of humor (and you probably do if you read my blog) then enjoy this.

I'm done with BIO finally. YAY! Haven't gotten my grades yet, hopefully I did well. I'll post grades when I get them. Tomorrow my Social Psych and IFSM classes start and I have my first exam in Japanese. Woo... lol I'm thinking about keeping my degree plan (major) but changing my career plan and instead of being a school counselor trying to be an animal behaviorist. But we shall see. I think I'll make an appointment with the academic adviser and discuss my options and all that.

But that's enough of that. This weekend we've been helping Michelle and Gian move. We got all their stuff over to the new house and the slept there last night. I'll probably go over and help Michelle unpack some tonight. Roxy is loving her new yard. :) So that's really all that's going on there.

Genesis' little sister has a name! Faith Naomi. :D

But those are all the things that's been going on right now. I shall post again later. And I'll post Christmas tree pictures when we get it up. Sky's going TDY so we're putting it up pretty early. But I have to wake him up and we have to run errands and I have to study for my exam. Wish me luck!

2009-11-01T18:43:00.000-08:00

Pumpkins scream in the dead of night!" Ok, so you get it. This blog is about Halloween. So we were planning on going out with Michelle and Gian and meeting up with some friends at the E-Club for this Halloween ball thing at night so we were going to hang out at home passing out candy until then. But things changed. Our car is in the shop and we really needed to go to the commissary so Michelle being super awesome said we could take her car and then come pick her up when she got off work. So we walked over and got her car and went shopping and then we were about to start getting ready to go get her when she called and asked if we wanted to go to Hachinohe to a restaurant that is similar to Viking (all you can eat; yakiniku, sushi, bread, gyoza, yakisoba... etc.) and since we didn't know how long we would be out Sky and I decided to go in costume. So we went and had an amazing dinner. Sky ate his weight in meat and sushi and (???) cotton candy. lol Anyway, so we ate dinner and then we went to Michelle's so she and Gian could get ready. Michelle was a pin up girl (and she looked SOOO cute!!) and Gian was a greaser. So after they got ready we went back by our house and Sky changed, he was going to be Tyler but he decided to be the Narrator instead. I gave him a really convincing black eye. I was so proud, everyone thought it was real! Anyway, after we all got ready we headed to the club.

It didn't end up being as cool as it could have been but there were some really great costumes. Some of my favorites were Edward Scissorhands, Dick in a box dude (who totally kept candy in his dickbox), MJ (who there is a picture of), Cruella DeVille, practically the entire cast of Alice in Wonderland, and the Wizard of Oz, Darth Vader and Leia, and V from V for Vendetta. But here, enjoy some photos.

I really wish we would have gotten more pictures of some of the really great costumes. I was so impressed.

Unfortunately we didn't get to see any trick or treaters because we were out all day so now we have like a ton of candy we don't know what to do with... Anyone want some Fun Dip? lol

Speaking of adorable little kids this is Genesis (Kimmie's daughter) at the pumpkin patch and in her costume. She is SOOOOOOOO CUTE!!

Anyway, I leave you now, I'm starving. Hope everyone had a great and safe Halloween!

2009-10-27T09:26:00.000-07:00

I went to this Boot Camp class at the gym. Here was the description from the fitness center website: "BOOT-CAMP Combinations of kickboxing & core-training with pilates." Yeah... LIES. lol It wasn't really what I thought it would be but I guess I came on a "strength training" day rather than a cardio day. Anyway, it was pretty intense but it wasn't as bad as I'm really making it out to be I just am not up to that level yet. So I'm thinking that I'm going to try Zumba on Friday to see how that is. If that is still too intense (because I'm a huge wimp) than I will do Yoga. There are three different kinds of yoga. There's yin yoga, which I guess is really low impact. It's all seated and focuses more on the stretching and all that. Then there is "fitness yoga" or just regular yoga which is like the middle level. Then here is power yoga which is the most intense and is more geared toward strength training. But I guess I will just try the classes until I find something I feel comfortable doing to work up my endurance and abilities and then I will keep stepping it up. I'll also do some cardio too. So we'll see how it goes. Wish me luck.

Anyway, Sky just got home and I'm making him give me a massage before bed! :) Oyasumi!

Japanese 114 started today. *sigh* I'm actually going to have to really try at this, but on the bright side maybe I'll learn some shit I might actually use!!! Eff!! lol For real, I haven't used Japanese outside the classroom because there is not a whole lot that I have learned that I can use in the real world. :s Anyway, we shall see.

We now have a Surf. Although I haven't seen it since it became ours. I went to lunch with Michelle and another friend and then Michelle and I went to her new house and measured her windows for curtains and the spaces for appliances. Then we chilled at her place until she had work. Then I just went to work with her and worked on some of my bio stuff before class. Then I had class.

That is pretty much it. I'm going to call my friend and go to bed. Oyasumi!

2009-10-22T23:01:00.000-07:00

Driving progress!!! We're thinking about trading our Subaru for a Toyota Surf (AKA 4 Runner) so we traded with the guy for a night so I could drive it and see if I was comfortable with it. I LOVED it. I drove from this abandoned housing area to the Cafe Mokuteki. Sky drove it from there to the shoppette but then I had him pull over at the school because I wanted to drive it home. Then.... (are you ready for this?) when we got home... I BACKED IT IN!!! Granted, it was a front spot so there was only someone on one side of me which made it easier but still. I'm excited. I'm really hoping that guy wants to trade. :)

The other exciting thing that's happened is I'm growing something!!! Granted they're navy bean plants and they're for biology but I haven't killed them! So maybe I can get a house plant and keep it alive. I'll just pretend there is a grade depending on them. lol

Also I went to my buddy's ALS graduation and that was... well, as fun as an ALS graduation can be. lol It was really cool to see the Fallen Warriors ceremony though. That was a first for me. Usually they have a table set up in recognition of the men and women who have lost their lives for this country and the POW/MIAs and there is a moment of silence but it was really wonderful to get to see the enactment of the things they do for fallen warriors during war times. So that is something I will carry with me. If I get the pictures from my friend and get his okay to put them up (since they have him in them) I will post them.

I do have to get going though, Michelle is on her way over and we're going to take Roxy to the dog park and then go to the 100 yen store because I need to get more of those tray things to bring my plants that aren't growing outside (because it's too cold) inside. I shall post again soon. :)

I am just amazed at the stupidity of some people. *eye roll* Some people just really need to think things through, and maybe get a grown up's opinion before they make any decisions. lol But whatever.

On the bright side Sky and I got a really cute anniversary gift from my friend Jayme and her fiance Richard. They sent us candles with our wedding colors and here is what I did with them.

Perfect timing too because I was looking for some candles to put in those vases. So thanks again guys, I love them!

I'm watching Transformers and doing TONS of laundry. Seriously, it is embarrassing how much laundry I have. lol But I should get back to that before I lose momentum.

You want a really amusing website for when you're bored? At www.morphthing.com you can upload pictures and "morph" them or "morph" a baby between the two.

There is a morphed kid for Sky and I. And you can morph with celebrities and stuff. It is kind of time consuming if you want to upload your own picture but it is really amusing. Danielle and I played with it for at least an hour last night.

Anyway, just thought I would share. lol Have fun.

Misawa Air Show 2009

2009-10-17T21:15:00.000-07:00

Was pretty fun. We didn't get to see Gian and Michelle because nobody's phone was working out there. We did run into a couple other friends though so that was pretty cool. We didn't stay long, we didn't even stay to see the Thunderbirds *gasp* I know. But here are some pictures.

Here is JASDF's Blue Impulse demo.

And here are a few pictures of the F-2 Jrs. They aren't that great because I couldn't get very close. We didn't even get to watch the demo so I don't know what they did. I was just happy I got to see them in person. They are SOOOOO effen cute!!!

They are soooo cute!!!! lol So much cuter in person too. :)

Anyway, that's about it. Sky and I are probably going to hit up the BX, do some cleaning, and then watch some TV and hang out.

I'm finally done with my essay part of my bio 101 midterm!!!! WOOOOOO!!!! *dances* Srsly... that shit took forever! And it was hard. Who, other than biologists and maybe doctors, knows anything about protein synthesis?? And when am I ever going to use this again??? Ugh... I can't wait for biology to be over. Anyway...

Tonight Sky and I are going to Magnum's Steakhouse for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. I would usually want to go somewhere off base for this but I have been craving a fully loaded baked potato and some steak and Magnum's just seemed like the place I would get both. Plus, they have that cute star shaped butter. :) I'm excited. They better have baked potatoes. lol

Tomorrow is the Air Show. The Thunderbirds just got here. They were like practicing right above our tower. So we might be seeing them. I don't know if we will be there that long. We both really want to see the JASDF F-2 demo which is at 0950 and then I really want to see the F-2 Jr demo at 1140 because they are SUPAA KAWAII! See?

OMFG I want one! I'm so easily amused. Ha... Anyway, if you're at Misawa come on out to the Air Show! Everybody's doing it. :)

I put the future in my title when really I just want to talk about how I'm trying to figure out what to do for Halloween. I don't have enough time to order a costume so I'm going to have to do something with very limited options. Hmmm... Suggestions? I have a few ideas but I'm not sure I can find anything that will work for them.

Well, better start getting ready for dinner.

Last night and today

2009-10-10T22:07:00.000-07:00

Last night I was too tired to blog but here's what happened. At around 6 I started going a little crazy because we still hadn't heard from anyone about a plan and I don't like just winging stuff in a way. So I try calling the birthday boy (Ky) and he didn't pick up so I called Michelle. She hadn't heard anything either so then, me being impatient and wanting a plan, I start coming up with ideas. So we pretty much decided to go eat at Mike's (the Tex-Mex place right off base) so they call the Ky and ask him if that's what he and his girlfriend wants to do. Then there was lots of confusion but finally we ended up at Mike's at about 9. But they weren't dressed to go out so they had to leave and meet up with us again. So Michelle and Gian came back to our house with us since we had picked them up and Gian met Kaiser and then I took the opportunity to change because I was wearing heels and then we took Kaiser out. So finally at around 11 we met up at Dacha, the bar right outside the main gate that pretty much everyone hates but goes to anyway because it's close, we all had one drink there (except the DDs of course) and then we headed over to My Place.

When we got to My Place I only planned on having a drink and buying the Ky a drink and then heading home which would put us there at like 12:15 but we ran into another one of Sky's friends and he bought me my first drink there. Then they started singing karaoke and we had to stay a little longer. First Sky, Gian, and Ky sang "Bad" by Micheal Jackson and it was so funny! I wish we had that on camera. Our entire table was almost in tears. Sky and Gian were doing most of the main singing and then Ky would do all this background stuff (like the MJ high pitched "hee hee" if that makes any sense in text lol). And when they were singing the chorus instead of saying "You know it" they were saying "Chamona." Or something. Anyway, hilarious. After that Sky and his friend that we ran into sang "Message in a bottle" by The Police. Then after a couple people did their songs Sky and his friend Rick Rolled the bar! It was hilarious. (For those of you who don't know what Rick Rolling is watch the following video)

(There, now you've been Rick Rolled)
Then Gian and Ky sang "Everybody" by The Backstreet Boys, also funny. Then Sky and Gian were embarrassing us by singing along with this guy they didn't even know to a really weird slow version of "It's my life." Then Sky and I headed home at like 3 am. Much later than planned and then I wanted to but it ended up being totally worth it.

Today I've just been hanging out. I took care of Kaiser (and now he's passed out on my futon) and have been tidying up a bit as well as internetting. :( Kaiser leaves today. We're going to miss him. It's been really awesome having this gigantic dog following me around these past couple days. When his parents get here I'll ask about putting a picture of him up. But until then I bid you farewell.

2009-10-09T22:49:00.000-07:00

Seriously lol. The reactions from people are so funny! Of course I've gotten a lot of "Oh my GOD"s and "That's a BIG dog"s but there have been other reactions as well. One girl in her car was driving by and I saw her jaw drop... literally. Last night a couple was in their car and they drove by on a street that intersected with the street we were walking Kaiser on. They were probably about twenty to twenty five feet from us and they turned around and came up the street we were on because one of them spotted him and they were trying to figure out what he was. One of them said "that couldn't have been a dog" so they had to come see for themselves. lol Then (also last night) we were walking him around and we saw some guy standing by the tower smoking. Then he walked around the other side of the tower, we just figured the wind was hitting him wrong or something but when we started to turn the corner he looked over, saw us, then just ran away. Literally ran. It was hilarious. Sky was like "did that guy just run away?" and we looked down at Kaiser and he had this look on his face that said "what did I do?" Poor thing. lol Luckily not a lot of people have been scared of him. I think only like four people he had seen fairly close have been scared of him.

He's fun to have around though. I'm gonna miss him! :( He'll be happy to go back to his family though.

Anyway, tonight we may go out with Michelle and Gian and some other friends because someone is having a birthday. Then Sky might have one of his friends over tomorrow to play guitar. But first we need to clean the house. It's been difficult keeping it clean with the rain and the dog. But we will try.

Sky wants to use the computer now so I'll post later.

Today, instead of getting a quote you get an entry from fmylife.com
Today, I snuck into my boyfriend's house because I knew his parents wouldn't be there. Later, I woke up in a hospital bed because his sister thought I was a burglar and tased me. FML

Rain, rain go away

2009-10-08T19:40:00.000-07:00

No... Seriously... go away!

Poor Kaiser. I'm trying to keep his life as normal as I can but he wasn't able to get his walks yesterday because of how bad the weather was and today may not be much better. Hopefully the rain will take a break around the time I want to walk him. He and Sky are passed out in bed right now. lol You know, strangely enough for how big he is he still doesn't take up as much room as Bella did in bed! Yeah... wrap your head around that one. lol If I get his mommy's permission I'll post comparison photos of him and Bella. But for those of you that don't know who Bella is (or who have started reading late in my blogging) she is my dog who is staying with my in-laws while we're in Japan. She is a princess and she's all of about 25 pounds. Kaiser on the other hand (who is a prince) is probably at least 165 pounds but I'm thinking more around 180. Well here, since I'm her mommy here is a picture of Bella and her sister Sasha.

Awww... I miss them! :(

I miss everybody! I was just talking to Kimmie and I wish I could be back for everyone! My mom was sick, Kimmie is pregnant and sick, my sister is graduating soon, Jayme and Richard are getting married! And right now we're missing reunions on both sides of the family!!! :( :( :( Happy birthday to Desiree and Grandpa Norman! We miss all you guys! I love Japan but right now everyone is making me so homesick! I'm thinking I will go back to the states if Sky gets deployed again, if it's doable that is.

:( Anyway, I'm going to have to take Kaiser out pretty soon so I will leave you now.

2009-10-07T02:16:00.000-07:00

I do. lol

Anyway, I'm just hanging out waiting for Kaiser to come over. This is perfect timing. I'd be going out of my mind if I didn't get a doggy to hang out with. There's this GSD puppy that lives in our building. He lives on the floor above us and diagonal to our apartment. We saw him on the balcony but we never saw him up close until yesterday when we went to get into the elevator and out comes this dog. And O.M.G. he is SOOOOOOO ridiculously CUTE! Let me tell you, six floors in the elevator petting him was not nearly enough. lol He's adorable. And after seeing him I have never missed my dogs so much. He resembled our Sasha-bear at that age (about five or six months). So I definitely need a doggy fix. lol I sound like a freakin druggie... only... for dogs. :) In conclusion, I'm excited to hang out with Kaiser.

I'm currently avoiding homework by watching the Avenged Sevenfold Live in the LBC DVD for like the billionth time since we got it. I love Avenged Sevenfold. I'd love to see them in concert again. Here, why don't you enjoy a little bit of it?

*Warning: Scantily-clad females present in this video*

God... awesome... srsly.

On a more serious and important note I'm still struggling with the whole driving thing. Not doing it in general (I've been driving Michelle's car home on the nights I have class) but in finding time and a vehicle to do it. So I'm thinking since we've invested so much in the Subaru we're just going to try and go to this abandoned housing area and try to cruise around there a bit. Then if that doesn't work and I'm still really nervous and anxious with the Subaru we'll try again to find an automatic. Michelle just informed me that her coworker also kind of helps people find cars so I might be talking to him. So we'll see... stay tuned and there will be some progress on that hopefully in the near future.

Ugh... I guess it's time for me to get productive now... :S lol

I finally decided what I'm taking next term! Japanese 3, Social Psyc, and IFSM! YAY!!! lol I looked at the syllabus for speech 125 and there is a LOT of reading and writing. I know that Japanese is going to be rather challenging so I'd rather not over do it. I just hope they don't change the speech book before I get the chance to take that class in the spring. So keep your fingers crossed for me!

Anyway, not a whole lot is going on here. We get the awesome dog that I'm watching on Wed. He is MASSIVE he's a great dane bull mastiff mix. So yeah, he's a pretty big guy. I can't wait. He's going to be so much fun. :) That's pretty much it though. I will update later. I'll ask his mommy if I can put a picture of him up here so check back later.

2009-09-30T09:36:00.000-07:00

I still can't decide what classes I want to take next term. I already bought the book for speech 125 but it looks like its going to be a pain in the ass to take with any other classes since there is SO much reading and writing. Ugh... I just don't know. I don't want to wait too long but I really can't figure it out. Anyone have any suggestions? :)

Not too much else has been going on. Just school dominating my life. lol I got sick a few days ago (dizzy, nauseous, headache) and I went to the doctor. He took a look and I guess the tube that connects my ears to my nose were so swollen that he was surprised I could even breathe out of my nose. He prescribed me some nasal spray and he wants me to go back in 3 to 4 weeks. A couple days after I started feeling better we went to that bar called My Place again and heard this chick TOTALLY butcher "I'm so sick" by Flyleaf. Oh, God, it was terrible... It was BEYOND terrible. lol Anyway, the night after that we went to Michelle and Gian's and the guys played guitar and Michelle and I played Mario Kart on the Wii (and I'm still going to get that game and practice and kick your ass, Michelle!!!) and then all four of us played poker. It was fun.

That's about all that has been going on... Hopefully life picks up sometime soon. :p

Because I could care less about the latest celebrity gossip and whatnot but I just have to say... Really? Nobody realized until just now what an epically raging douche Kanye West is? Because I've been saying that forever.

Anyway, I have been pretty boring. We're going to try and go to the Ball but it's coming up fast and we don't have tickets so we aren't sure we will be able to attend. Sky's going to see if he can get tickets today. He won't really care if we can't go but I would like to go to one. I guess if we can't go this year there's always next year. I guess we'll just see. Anyway, if we do go to that I will definitely post and put up pictures. If I can find a dress to wear that is. :s

Anyway, I've got homework to do...

I need to quit slacking. On everything. I got a freakin 87 on my Japanese midterm... An 87! :( I was hoping to get As all the way through. I just need to study more before my final so I can make sure I still finish out the class with an A. My sister and I have this competition going on. Actually, she's almost done competing, unless we're going to keep it up all the way into our Master's degrees. That is, if we both decide to go that far.

Anyway, not much has been going on except school and hanging out with Sky. I miss him not having to work. :( I'm sort of working too. I'm watching a dog named Bear. She got dropped off last night and will be here until Sunday night. She's a really good dog.

Anyway, I've been watching Angel, so I'm going to go and continue that.

Hello

2009-09-07T10:35:00.000-07:00

Sorry, I have been thoroughly enjoying Sky's time off. :) We've eaten at Sukiya like eight times. lol He's been golfing and going to the driving range a lot. I've gone a couple of times. We really need to stop going when all the bugs are out. We'll probably go again Wednesday during the day. He's going tomorrow but I desperately need to do my biology work so he's going to leave me to it for a while.

Ugh... My biology book literally put me to sleep today. That's pretty bad. Oh well, I gotta do what a gotta do I suppose. Japanese has been going really well though. I've started trying to read everything I can off base and I'm getting pretty decent at it. I'm really happy about that.

There hasn't been a whole lot else happening. We watched Roxy yesterday while Michelle and Gian participated in a festival out in Shichinohe. She was a little terror. :p She was really hyper. Our airman friend came over to watch a movie and have some margaritas so when he left we decided to walk her home so she would get all that energy out. We walked him over and then stopped by the shoppette and while we were sitting outside giving Roxy water we had an interesting exchange. This couple walked by and here is how it went:

*guy comes over and pets roxy*
Girl: Quit molestin their dog.
*they go into the BX, Sky goes in to get some things so now I'm outside with just Roxy when the couple comes out*
Guy to girl: Oh, shit... you were supposed to get ice!
Girl: Fuck! ... You didn't pay for the ice?
Guy: I forgot. Go get some ice!
Girl: Ima sit down. You go get the ice.
Guy to me: You see this shit? *shakes head* What's the dog's name?
Me: Roxy.
Guy: *pets Roxy* I had a pitbull. I miss my doggie.
Girl: Go get the ice!
*guy goes inside and pays for ice. He comes back out a few minutes later*
Guy: *reaches toward Roxy* Echo! ... That's not the dog's name but I couldn't remember it.

lol. I was cracking up. And apparently while Sky was inside he and that guy had an equally amusing exchange. Anyway, when we got back to the house taking Roxy for a walk definitely worked and a few minutes later she was OUT. Stayed that way for pretty much the rest of the night. Michelle called me when they were on their way back and Sky wanted food but he had been drinking and then we all had this fun little exchange.

Michelle: We're on our way back now so we'll see you guys in a bit.
Me: Okay, hey I'm really sorry to ask but Sky has been drinking so if you guys are passing McDonald's would you mind stopping and bringing us some food.
*Gian starts laughing hysterically and I thought I had offended so I say*
Me: What? I'm sorry, you guys don't have to if you don't want to.
Gian: No it's okay. I am WRECKED so I understand.
*I laugh hysterically and really wish I had the phone on speaker*

This is so funny because Gian and Michelle don't really drink all that much and when they do they don't drink a lot. Anyway, I was just amused. So we got some free food for hanging out with their adorable puppy all day. Other than the fact I got no homework done I'd say it was a success. We got some really cute pictures of her. When I can figure out how to get the pictures off my phone I'll post them.

But it is now almost three AM so I'm going to go sleep. Oyasumi!

Lately

2009-09-01T21:02:00.000-07:00

Things have been pretty boring. Just going to school and trying to get the house reorganized and cleaned up. Today Sky and I are going to go out to the Shimoda/Aeon/Jusco mall and have some lunch then I'm going to hit up Daiso and see if they have stickers of the hiragana and katakana syllables because I'm really lazy and want to make my flash cards easier. :) Hopefully they have them. I'm pretty sure I've seen them there. Anyway, after that we'll probably get some dessert and then run over to Takaida Sports so Sky can see how much a pair of new snowboarding boots would cost since his don't fit right for snowboarding.

We just purchased our bedding set which I am SUPER excited about. I can't wait until it gets here. Of course we won't actually be using the comforter for a while but still. I hope it goes well with our curtains. I think it will, browns and blues go well with other browns and blues and the creams and whites are neutral. Anyway, I'll take pictures when I get it.

Tonight I'm going to go over and do bio homework with Michelle while she's at work because unless there is testing going on she doesn't have a whole lot to do. Anyway, I should start getting ready.

Michelle located her card adapter and was able to put up some pictures so I will share them with you.

Here are pictures of her cake, this really cool candy flower thing (yes, candy... the whole thing. I shit you not), and the Pumpkin shots we had at Peek-a-Boo. Yes, they are flaming. Awesome.

I just got home from yet ANOTHER BBQ for someone else's birthday. Although this time I did not know the birthday girl. It was the wife of one of the guys Sky works with. Thankfully my key spouse was there because if it weren't for her I wouldn't have known anyone. The food was amazing though. I ate WAY more than I should have. Sky is still over there playing poker so I think I will take this opportunity of alone time to clean and make my katakana flash cards. Just wanted to share some pictures. I should have taken my own but I was being lazy. Next time we go out I'll get pictures of the bars and stuff. Promise.

Yesterday we had a blast

2009-08-28T21:30:00.001-07:00

It was Michelle's birthday so she, Gian, Sky, and I all met up for lunch at Cake House. We hung out there for a bit and then Sky and I went to run some errands. We went to the BX and got some things that we needed and some things that we wanted (NCIS season 6, baby!). Then we came home and watched it for a bit before heading over to Michelle's at around six. We got all the way over there and then realized, like dumbasses, that we forgot all the stuff we were supposed to bring. So we went back home and then back again. We were still the first one's over there though. We then hung out a bit and played with Roxy and then a whole bunch of people started showing up. One of Michelle's Japanese friend's family owns a bakery or a chain of bakeries so she brought the cake and OH MY GOD this thing was HUGE and DELICIOUS. Mmmm... It was amazing. Anyway, after the tons of food and LOTS of cake the party moved to bars in Misawa. First we went to Dacha, but that place is ridiculously expensive and tiny so we all had one drink there and then moved to a place called Peek a Boo and had Pumpkin Shots, then we went to Forever Second and everyone else had a shot called Devil's Brains, then we went over to a bar called My Place and that was where we stayed the majority of the night. I definitely think if we go to a bar again it will be that one. It was the biggest of all of them (which is quite sad because it was still pretty small) and the drinks were a little cheaper and there was karaoke and darts. We had a lot of fun. We didn't get back home until like 3am. I will put up some pictures as soon as I steal them from Michelle. :)

This is going to be a LOOOOOOOOOONG semester.

I hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew. My Japanese teacher is very cool but the class is going to be difficult. I did not get the fuzzy feeling that I was going to be the top of my class in this course. I really need to step up my game if I'm going to stay in the running with my sister!

So posting may be sort of sporadic since I'm going to be SUPER busy. Ay, wish me luck.

2009-08-15T17:17:00.000-07:00

But I've been pretty boring. I've just been home studying and watching Charmed. I went out with a friend (my key spouse) yesterday for dinner and I'm going to her place today to help her paint her kitchen. Then it will be back to stuyding and cleaning for me. Cleaning... seriously needs to happen.

That's about all that is going on with me. I am bursting at the seams with excitement for Sky coming home. We still don't know exactly when it is going to happen but it is going to be soon! :D :D :D I cannot wait! We've already decided that we're going to Sukiya when he gets back. It will be nice to go out to eat with my husband again. :D

Ok... I'm talking to Kimmie (she and her family got to California alright, been there a while but family had been visiting) and soon I need to get ready so I will post later.

2009-08-12T04:13:00.000-07:00

Today was this town hall meeting for all the spouses of deployed people. I thought it was going to be more informative. Like perhaps a date of when they were coming home! That would have been nice. But I guess we still only have that rough estimate and we'll find out for sure from our key spouses. God I can't wait!!! :D

The meeting was pretty much just them letting us know what services were available to us. It didn't help me really because I don't expect any "reintegration" problems that require counseling and we don't have kids so the child care does us no good. Oh well. I went anyway. I'm super tired though and I totally don't feel like doing anything but going to bed... So I think I will. G'night.

I'm so annoyed with myself

2009-08-09T14:50:00.000-07:00

I got up today at 0 dark thirty because I could not for the life of me remember whether my appointment was today or tomorrow. It is tomorrow as my sister and I both thought but I wanted to confirm because the last time I was sure of when my appointment was I totally failed. lol So I got all paranoid and got up at the butt crack of dawn to call. So I get to get up again tomorrow but at least I know for sure I'm going somewhere at that hour. Which is not fun either. So I called and then I cleaned a bit, then I spent way too much time on the internet. Then I was about to get to reading my child psych book and Michelle called to see if I wanted to come to Sanwado with her to get puppy pads since her puppy (now officially named Roxy) might have a slight bladder infection. So I decided, a chance to see Roxy, hell yeah! And went with her.

Roxy slept on my lap on the way to drop her off at Michelle's. We put her in her kennel and then off we went to Sanwado. Not only did we get puppy pads we got this cool little thing for them. It's sort of like a cat box... but for dogs... and minus the litter. It has three pieces: a tray, a grate, and a top with snaps. You put the puppy pad on the tray and then the grate over it and the snap on the top. So dogs get on it and pee but it goes down through the grate onto the pad and then they don't get covered in their own urine. It's pretty sweet. They're going to use that to train her. Since she's a pet store puppy they tend to be harder to train so she's thinking this might help. I hope so. I know how frustrating it can be to potty train a puppy. So anyway, we got that stuff from Sanwado and then we went to Shiroi Mori (Cake House) for lunch because we are total sluts for cake house. :) lol Then we went and played with the puppy a bit and then she dropped me off at home. Now I will stop procrastinating and actually start homework.

I just need to do this week's assignment and then study for my final. He gave us a study guide to use so that's good. I'm so glad our final only covers chapters 11-15. Hopefully I do well on it. I need to re-read chapter 14 though. I had problems getting through it. I should probably go back through all of them. We'll see. I'm definitely going to look through and find all the answers for the study guide and study those. Anyway, before I go check out these super adorable pictures of Roxy.

Isn't she just so cute????? :D

I thought so too. <3 I puffy heart Roxy. Mmmkay, I'm going to stop procrastinating now.

2009-08-09T04:03:00.000-07:00

The remainder of this month is going to be super busy. I'm already all disoriented. I totally forgot Kimmie's birthday (and I STILL feel like an asshole), I can't remember which day my appointment is so I'm waking up at the crack of dawn to call and find out, my house is still ridiculously wrecked, and I need to study for my final, as well as continue the work for each week. Luckily we've moved back to one chapter a week (I think, I hope anyway!)

I'm totally going to bed here soon since I have to get up so early. If my appointment is tomorrow I'll go there and bring my child psych book and study while I wait. Then I will come home and do homework and clean pretty much all day. Same thing for tomorrow except I'm actually going to have dinner with some friends. Then my days will pretty much look the same until the 20th which is the day of my final. After that it will be just cleaning until Sky gets home and then we'll PARTY! I can't wait. I'm so excited to see him (although, I hope when I do see him he doesn't have his mustache anymore! :P srsly though honey, if you're reading this... shave that thing).

Anyway, let's hope I can keep my head on until Sky gets home. Then at least if I fall apart he'll be here to pick up the pieces. But I'm going to bed now. Oyasumi.

That paper for child psych kicked my arse. I'm just hoping it's good enough. :s The people who read it said it sounded good so let's hope my instructor feels the same. Sorry about the hiatus but I needed to work on that. I'll probably be going to a BBQ at Peggy's tonight. That'll be nice to get some great food and hang out. Maybe we'll go relax in her neighbor's hot tub with some sake! :) That would make me feel better after this long week.

Although it wasn't all bad. I did take some breaks for some good food (cake house and pepper lunch to be exact) and Gian and Michelle got a very cute border collie puppy. It is unclear whether or not she has been officially named. But she is ADORABLE.

We went to Sanwado (which is a little like Wal-mart) and got a couple things for the puppy and then we went to Daiso (the 100 yen store) to see if they had any pet stuff. They really didn't but I got my last charm thing from the Nightmare Before Christmas mystery package things I was getting. :) Yay! I'll have to take a picture.

That's really it. So I'm going to relax and eat before I have to start getting ready to leave. I do have to study for my finals soon and prep the house for homecoming but I will try and blog as much as possible.

:D Nebuta festival!

Freaking awesome floats. And Michelle's friend picked like the perfect place for us to stand because they would stop the huge floats and spin them right in front of us. It was awesome. See?

After the festival we went to a resturant called "Biki Donkey" (I think) and it was pretty good. I got the dinner set with my meal which had a really good soup and salad. I was stuffed. Which made me kind of sad because their dessert looked awesome. But whatev.

Anyway, I just got some suitcases that Sky sent me and I need put those and lots of other laundry away. I need to clean up a bit and then start reading for my paper. I'll probably post some of the other videos again later. (It takes forever and I don't have the patience right now.)

Writing a paper in APA is hard! lol. I'm struggling just with the format! My sister sent me a really good link to a very helpful resource which I very much appreciate. It has been saving me. So far I only have my introduction but I wanted Desiree to read it before I proceed (with the writing) so after I get dinner I'll just be reading the articles I selected.

So my paper is dominating my life after tomorrow until it is done. Tomorrow is the Nebuta festival (and I was mistaken, it's in Aomori not Hachinohe).

The only other thing to post is the monkey sightings! That's right, there is at least one monkey who has decided to call our base it's home. There have been quite a few sightings in the past week. We are not entirely sure what kind of monkey it is but some people think it might be a snow monkey. I really want to see it so I can get a picture! I will let you know if I do. :) Off to fetch me some dinner though.

I had a really embarrassing moment today.

As I'm getting ready to meet up with my key spouse to go with her to her son's T-ball game (to observe for my term paper) my home phone rings. I answer and the conversation goes as followed:

Man: I'm looking for Laura (my last name)
Me: Speaking.
Man: This is So&so from (hospital). You missed an appointment today so we need to reschedule.
Me: What? What appointment?
Man: The consult put in by (my new PCM) with (doctor name I don't recognize).
Me: I don't recall making that appointment. What was it for?
Man: Stress management.
Me: That is supposed to be with mental health.
Man: This is mental health.
Me: Well that appointment isn't until tomorrow.
Man: No ma'am, it was today.
Me: But it was for Friday.
Man: Today is Friday.
Me: *facepalm* Oh, my God! *hysterical laugher* I feel like an idiot! I am soooo sorry!
Man: It's okay, ma'am. We need to reschedule.
Me: Can I call back when I figure out what is going on.
Man: Sure. Are you thinking of hurting yourself or anyone else.
Me: ... No. (Thinking wtf?)
Man: Okay, call back whenever and reschedule.

I didn't know until later that at mental health they have to ask that question so I was like geez, just because I'm crazy and don't know what is going on in my life doesn't mean I'm a suicidal homicidal maniac. lol I feel like such a jackass though. I really hope my husband doesn't get in trouble for that.

Obviously it is ultimately my responsibility but in my defense I told them when they called the first time (on Monday last week) that I was in the middle of a really important school paper and I wanted to make the appointment for after it was completed and that was when we scheduled it. Then they call back on Tuesday this week and tell me I can't have that appointment and that their only afternoon appointment was this Friday. So it was short notice and I was trying to do all my observations this week so I totally spaced. Ugh... I'm going to call them on Monday and let them know I'm scheduling it after my term paper is done because school is my #1 priority.

So anyway, Sunday Michelle and Gian and some of their friend's and I are going out to Hachinohe for the Nebuta festival. I'm really excited about it. I'll have to take lots of pictures. I will post them when I can. I'm going to force myself to sleep so I can adjust my schedule because apparently mental health is only open for appointments at freakin 8am. :s So g'night.

Over the weekend

2009-07-27T04:34:00.000-07:00

Michelle, Gian, some friend's of thiers, and myself went to this festival that was right outside the main gate. I forgot my camera so I stole all these pictures from Michelle. Check these out.

There was the dance show, the cool decorations, and food... lots of food. It was like this festival was just an excuse to sell food on the street. lol Oh and that picture of me was basically just a picture of that Japanese girl. :)

Other than that festival and going to the bowling alley a couple times I've pretty much sat around watching NCIS.

Today I went to the Youth Center for some observations for my term paper. I'm going to call my key spouse and see if I can tag along to one of her son's baseball games to observe there and then maybe just observe her children at her house sometime. Maybe go to a park too. Nothing conclusive as of now. Stay tuned. Maybe I'll even post my paper as a blog, if I think it's that good. :p

But now I'm probably going to go back to watching NCIS. So enjoy... or be horrified by this video courtesy of collegehumor.com.

Woo hoo!!!!

2009-07-23T01:08:00.000-07:00

For a number of reasons!!

1. It was the last day of Japanese
2. I got a 99% on my Japanese final
3. We went to Cake House to celebrate and had an amazing lunch
4. I figured out my subject for my term paper for child psych
5. I figured out and enrolled in what I want to take next semester

Awesome.

Also, the coffee thing with the OHO ladies was cool. A couple weren't able to come. I think we'll do it again sometime soon so we're able to get everyone together. We may need to get coffee and then go somewhere a little bigger so the kids can play. I felt bad they were stuck in a little area with us. :p

Tomorrow I'm actually going to try to make it to legal. We'll see how that works. :) I'm going to stop by the Youth Center and pick up their schedule to see if there is anything I think would help with my term paper. It's on gender stereotypes, similarities, and differences. Now I'm going to eat, read, and watch some NCIS.

The past couple days

2009-07-21T04:06:00.000-07:00

have been pretty boring. I still haven't figured out what to write about for child psych. Hopefully my sister will be able to help me choose a topic. I did get my midterm grade back. I got a B. So that's pretty cool.

Last night Michelle and I made practice tests for each other for Japanese since we didn't receive a study guide yesterday. We did them this morning before class. We both got the chance to see what we really need to focus on. We ended up getting a study guide type thing today and we did it after watching Army Wives. Hopefully that will be mostly what is on the test because that is what our teacher has been stressing. I hope we're not focusing on something for nothing. So I guess we will see tomorrow.

Tomorrow Michelle and I will be studying a bit before class again. We have the first part of our final tomorrow. Then we'll study a little more for the second half while we wait at the cafe for the ladies we're having coffee with. Coffee should be a nice break. But I'll update then. I'm going to try and call my sister and then start getting ready to turn in for the night.

2009-07-17T20:34:00.000-07:00

Uber stressed out time is what I'm talking about. I just got the guidelines for my term paper and I gotta admit I'm a little bit scared. I finished my midterm, that didn't seem too painful but I guess I'll see when I get my grade back. So today I'm going to attempt to do this weeks discussion for child psych and study for Japanese a bit. Michelle and I will be reviewing tomorrow. I'm also going to go through my book and try to find a topic for my paper. Something that I can observe naturally as well as find research for. :s

I'm definitely looking forward to coffee on Wed with the OHO ladies. It will be nice to get my mind off of school for a little bit. I'm definitely going to need a massage after this semester. I'm still debating on what to take for fall. I guess I need to get cracking on figuring that out too. Ugh... my head is going to explode.

Well, time to get crackin.

Since I've been stressed out and eating like crap my fibromyalgia pain has worsened. I've decided to go the medication route until I can get into some sort of a schedule. It's been difficult though.

Things are starting to peak at school. We'll be having our Japanese midterm soon so Michelle and I will be going over stuff as much as we can. See if we actually retained anything. :s I've got my midterm in child psych and we'll be starting on our term papers. Busy, busy, busy...

So I decided to finish Breaking Dawn so I wouldn't have any distractions. lol No I'm full of it, I was already so close though, I figured, why not? So I'm done with that. I have started NCIS over but I'm going to take it really slow. Only one to two episodes a night so I'll be ready to watch season five by the time Sky gets home. :) I'm so excited! I've been dying for us to catch up. I can't wait to just curl up on the couch and watch TV with him again.

Things will probably be pretty boring. Next week the OHO ladies who live here are all going to get together for coffee. So that should be fun. That and lunch on Friday is pretty much all I'm looking forward to for a while. But I'm going to watch my second episode of NCIS tonight and then get ready for bed. Oyasumi.

Last night

2009-07-11T23:40:00.000-07:00

I had a blast at the movies. My only disappointment of the night was the food we got at the Mokuteki. I got the same thing I get all the time and last night it was just disappointing. :( That made me sad. But other than that it was a good night. We both really enjoyed The Proposal. It was very cute. Obviously it's predictable but it's cool, I still liked it. I can go ahead and freely admit it was not bad seeing Ryan Reynold's in the nude! Sandra Bullock looked great too. I hope I look like her when I'm her age! I think she's gorgeous, she's one of my favorite actresses. So I could be biased about that movie because I love those two and Betty White! And she was, of course, awesome.

The Soloist was a little depressing. I wish they would have played that first. It was still good though. I thought Jamie Foxx did amazing. Robert Downey Jr. was incredible as well, obviously. Not to mention really, really ridiculously good looking. :)

Anyway, today I did some homework that I was slacking on a little. I also made my house fairly presentable since I have a friend coming over tonight and I need to start getting this place super presentable for homecoming! Its still a while away but if I keep procrastinating I'll get done at the last second. lol Ugh... I really need to stop that. In fact, I think I'll start trying to get ahead. :) But before that, enjoy these amazing yet disturbing images. NSFW or children.

They were playing vollyball. lol Sorry, I had to see it and now you do too!

I got a 92.something or other on my LIBS final. Now I just have to finish the Research Log Project 2 and email that one and the one that's already done to my instructor and I will be done with LIBS! Japanese ends soon too. I'm still trying to decide what to take. I'm very likely taking Japanese. I'm in absolutely no rush to take biology. I guess I'll just have to figure out an online class to take. The speech one I have in my "career plan" isn't an online course so I guess I'll see if they will let me change it and I'll just do that.

I finished Eclipse last night and started Breaking Dawn today but I haven't read much. I'm having problems sitting still. I guess it's because I'm stoked to see the movies with a friend tonight and I'm feeling a lot better. My throat is still a bit sore and I'm still having to blow my nose every five seconds but I'm not feeling nearly as terrible as I did last night. I must have gotten decent sleep.

I'd like to talk to my hubby but I'm not sure where he is. He was going to a BBQ but I thought he would be back by now. I keep forgetting it's Saturday. You would think I would know what day it is considering I go to classes on site now. Somehow I just always know when I have to be a school though. Speaking of which, I do have some homework I can do I guess... but I'm really not wanting to. Maybe I'll just do it tomorrow and give myself a freebie today to have fun and relax. lol I just realized I'm having this mental debate in my blog. I'm such a loser. Or at least I would be if I weren't so awesome. :D I'm kidding... some. God, I'm hilarious.

Was hilarious! I'm really glad I went to see it even though I felt really crappy. Unfortunatley I still feel really crappy. I was going to go to legal today but I guess that will have to wait until next Friday. I'm just going to stay in and do homework. Maybe finish Eclipse if I get around to it. I'm almost done. If I had the time to just sit down and read I would probably be done with both of them by now. Oh well. I'll finish them soon enough.

Sorry this post is so short but I need to get food and start homework so I can go to sleep early. I have class at 9am tomorrow and I have to go to that. And I'm totally not missing The Proposal or The Soloist which is tomorrow night. :)

I feel like crap. My throat is sore and my head is throbbing. And to top it off I went to the gym yesterday with Michelle and Gian so I'm incredibly sore. :s I soooooooooooo don't want to go to class today. But I'm going to. Michelle was wanting to go to the beach after class if it was as nice out today as it was yesterday but from the looks of it we might have to wait until tomorrow. Although the weather here is pretty unpredictable so who knows.

I need to go to verizon and the commisarry today. Food is pretty much my only motivation to move today. :(

Ok... I'm too sore and tired to keep whining so bye.

At a Japanese theater... and it was awesome. I love this country! It's expensive to see a movie off base and I might not do it often but Sky and I definitely have to at least once when he gets home. There was some amusing pre-movie stuff.

The rest of the weekend will probably just be filled with homework and studying. We have another Japanese quiz on Monday. I'm also going to try and get through Eclipse this weekend I think. I might not be able to though. Ugh, I really need to clean too. :s

I'm still super boring. lol I'm hoping to add some yoga to my weekly routine starting Monday. I got workout clothes from my sister. She's been super awesome and sending me stuff. Speaking of which, I really need to fold my laundry. :p I got some yoga stuff from the BX the other day. I got a mat, block, and strap in one set and then a fitness ball and two 2lb medicine balls in another set. My uncle got me the MTV fitness four pack so I'll be doing some of that and maybe check out the video that came with my yoga mat set.

I can't wait until my husband comes home! He'll help motivate me to use the treadmill. I freakin hate running with a passion. I'll need a babysitter until I get into the habit of it. I need to do something though because with all the stress of school and the fact I can't cook so I'm eating like crap has caused my body aches to worsen. I really need to work on that. Peggy and her husband went on the South Beach Diet and it seems to be working out for them so Sky and I will try doing that a while after he gets home. Not immediately because he'll want to go places (like Sukiya) for a while first. So I'm hoping that will work. I don't want to lose any weight really I just want to lose fat. Anyway, I'll keep you in the loop. Hopefully I can actually commit. lol Tired. Bed. Oyasumi!

And tired... and not wanting to do anything. :p I've been all whiney this week. I just want to crawl into bed with my hubby and do nothing! I can't wait until he comes home.

I'm still incredibly boring. I've still just pretty much been up to school and all that. I did watch a movie with Airman last night. We watched Office Space (yes I just watched it with Peggy but that movie is awesome). I've showed four people that movie since I've been here. I'm spreading the awesomeness.

Ugh... I need to clean and do loads of homework. :s I'll be back.

I got my Japanese midterm grade back. I'm a little upset. I made a mistake so I didn't get 100%. It wasn't a careless mistake but it was something I shouldn't have missed or at least something I should have caught when I went back over it. I used the wrong tense. :s It makes me sad faced.

The fall classes are up. I think I'll take JAPN 112 on site and SPCH 125 online and then study for the IFSM DSST for the first part of fall. Unless Michelle decides she wants to take BIO the first half of the fall because I'd like to take that with her. It's nice knowing someone in class and having someone to study with. I'm really enjoying us being in Japanese together.

Anyway, I've got a lot to do so... bye...

2009-06-27T22:02:00.000-07:00

Busy weekend. And so much to do... Ugh...

Friday, I did some homework and then that nice Airman who saved Sky and I when we first moved here called which was good because I hadn't seen him in forever. We talked on the phone a while and then he came by to see what I did with the house. I found out he hadn't seen a ton of awesome movies so as soon as he heals from getting his wisdom teeth pulled I'm forcing him to watch like everything I own. But Friday we started with Clerks. About twenty minutes in I realized I was starving so we went and got a large pizza which the two of us destroyed. After he left I talked to Sky for a bit before heading to bed early since I had class Saturday morning.

I woke up at 0700 (with the help of my wonderful sister who has been my alarm clock for far too long :s Sorry Des) for class. Got ready and then walked over and damn was it hot. I was in class until about 11. It was supposed to last until 1 but he let us leave when we were done. I'm mad at myself for rushing because I made a careless mistake that cost me my A on the quiz we took. I was just trying to get out of there before it was too hot to walk home but I should have at least checked my answers. I would have caught it if I did. At least I learnd from my mistake. It won't happen again. Anyway, I was supposed to stay at Peggy's and watch a movie but the Airman was having a BBQ and I had been promising him that I would go to one of them forever so I was torn. When I got home from class I called Peggy and asked if she just wanted to do an early movie. She agreed and came to get me. She needed to stop by a Daiso (100yen store) so she could get something and we just decided to go to the mall and get lunch as well since she knew what she needed was there. I was explaining to her why I wasn't going to stay over and then she guilted me for about five seconds before I gave. :p Apparently Jewish people are good at guilting people into stuff. So we finished up at the mall, went to her house to watch Chaplin (which she gave me, thanks again!), then we stopped my her neighbor's place (she was going to babysit and I was going to hang out with her while she was doing so and watch a second movie) and talked about what time they needed us. Then I contacted the Airman and told him we'd come but we'd be late. So after we got the night figured out we went and got food then came back and watched the kids while watching Office Space (which she hadn't seen. Blasphemy, right?) then when her neighbor's got home we headed to the BBQ. It was about 2100. We hung out there for about an hour before we came back and got in her neighbor's hot tub. We stayed in there until like midnight just hanging out. I drank an entire beer to myself! I know that seems trivial but for me to actually have a BEER is a very big accomplishment. lol Anyway, we finally called it a night a little after midnight.

Now I have oodles of homework to do but I had fun. Peggy's husband is coming home tomorrow so we probably won't do something like that again for at least a few weeks. I'm glad I didn't miss out on it. Anyway, time to get productive.

I have the greatest husband ever! I haven't been the easiest person to deal with during this deployment (hell, I'm not the easiest person to live with either) but despite my crazy, he loves me. He loves me unconditionally. His heart warms mine (not literally though, because that would be gross) and he can always make me smile. It may take a little longer when he's not here beside me but he can always do it. It comforts me knowing he's always there, even when he's not physically. I love you honey, and I can't wait until you get home.

I know that was some lame touchy stuff but whatev. It's true. :D

Moving on to less lovey-dovey stuff. I have a pretty uneventful day planned. I'm going to do homework and clean. Maybe watch a movie. I may finally watch Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. Or maybe I'll start Charmed. Its not close enough to homecoming to start NCIS over. I go through seasons like a crazy person. Sooo.... yeah... nothing terribly interesting today. I just pretty much wanted to gush about how my husband is cooler than yours. :p (Just kidding... sort of. :D)

2009-06-25T07:30:00.000-07:00

I'm super tired. And for no reason. :s We had the second half of our Japanese midterm today and I feel like I did fairly well. I guess we'll see on Monday.

I finished New Moon (for those of you who don't know it's the second book in the Twilight Saga). It was good enough. Bella annoyed me more this time, regardless I hope the movie is better than the first.

Anyway, I should have been doing homework today but I didn't want to use that much brain power so I did some but not as much as I would have liked. Peggy helped me escape and from then on I read New Moon until I was done. It's okay though, I have tomorrow.

I'm still dreading class on Saturday but here's hoping it won't be so bad. I'm going to go collapse into a coma though... Oyasumi.

2009-06-23T22:04:00.000-07:00

Was the first part of our Japanese midterm. I think I did well. I guess only time will tell. We're doing the second half tomorrow which I think we just read and respond to the questions and stuff. I think all the listening stuff is over.

I'm extremely impressed with how quickly Michelle learned hiragana. We didn't study it as much as we should have but she picked it up so fast. The mnemonics really worked for her. She learned them in like two days. :D Now on to combined forms and katakana! *insert evil grin here*

Anyway, I finally started New Moon this morning. We'll see how long it takes me since I have child psyc and I start LIBS on Saturday. But I should eat and continue being productive.

2009-06-23T04:32:00.000-07:00

I'm still a little worried about how I'm going to handle my classes this semester but I think I'm just being a wuss. My LIBS class begins this Sat but then there's only one more class meeting and the rest is online. From what I understand its a fairly easy class. I'm hoping so because I feel like I'm struggling in Japanese and Child psych.

Michelle is going to come a little early tomorrow and we're going to brush up on stuff right before class. So hopefully that will help. I believe we're having the "Listening Comprehension" part of the exam tomorrow. I think I've got the hiragana part down. Pretty much the only ones I get confused with are "ne," "re," and "wa" and then "nu" and "me." But I think I've been going through them enough with Michelle that I have them down as well. At least I hope so. I don't think she'll be doing all 46 syllables anyway.

Anyway, I'm going to read... either my child psych book or New Moon, I'm not sure which yet. Maybe I'll just switch back and forth. :p

I just realized my LIBS 150 class starts this Saturday! :s I'm suddenly very annoyed. I have my Japanese midterm this week and I didn't get ahead nearly as much as I thought I would last weekend. I have to study for Japanese tonight. Ugh... I'm freaking out a bit here.

So I'm going to go ahead and try and read some Child psyc before class starts. I'll update when I've calmed down.

2009-06-20T22:10:00.000-07:00

It's a gorgeous day outside and I'm stuck inside doing homework... so again >_<

Misawa is just screwing with me. I swear. :s I did finish all the Scrubs I had but now I'm confused. I need to order the 8th season but it doesn't come out until August 25th. I also seem to remember an episode that I didn't see on the DVDs I have so either I'm imagining things or I missed an episode or something. I don't know. I'll be watching them again anyway, we'll see.

Ugh, I've been so... mean lately. I don't know what it is. I'm so done with my hubby being gone, that's definitely a big part of it. On one hand I'm a little glad he's got a while left because I'd like to get everything done that I can (like getting bedding for both rooms that match our curtains because I'm anal. I also want to hang all the wall decor that I have and maybe get some lamps or something) but I want him home more! Also I'm debating whether or not to take next semester off for when Sky comes home. On one time I really want to so we can spend as much time together as possible but on the other hand I'd really like to get as much done while were here which means taking as many classes as much as possible. But I was thinking if I took the semester off as soon as he starts work again I could just study and try to test out of a/some class(es). We'll see. Maybe I'll base it on whether I'll receive tuition assistance from somewhere other than the Financial Aid that I'm receiving 6K from.

Well I suppose I should get back to homworking...

I think I did that right (Danielle? Did I?) Anyway, it's supposed to say I went to the bazaar today, and frankly I have no clue if there is a Japanese equivalent to "bazaar." Anyway, the bazaar was alright. Smaller than I expected and I didn't end up buying anything. Peggy got two scarves though. They were nice. I thought about getting one but I don't wear the ones I have enough to convince myself that I would wear one if I bought it. I don't like things around my neck. But whatev...

I guess I should clear something up though, my sister isn't actually getting married. I just really love my "future brother in law" and project my strong feelings that they should get married. I figured if I just kept saying it eventually it will happen. :p Regardless, he's family and we're all very proud of him.

Well, I'm talking to Sky and then I have to eat and work on all my homework.

Still procrastinating. I've decided to stop that tomorrow though. Danielle might be able to come see me the first week of July so I'm going to try and get ahead this weekend so I can slack then. Seems like a good plan to me.

Congratulations to my future brother in law who just made TSgt!!! I'm so proud of you!

I think I might have some sort of parasite. I've been eating all day and I'm still starving. I'm just going to go to bed though. I know I shouldn't be eating right now.

Tomorrow Peggy and I are going to the bazaar so I'll post after that. I'll put up some of the things I'm wanting to get for my house also. It'll be fun!! And this way I can talk about it and not hear Sky talk about how he doesn't care. :p

I have been eating like absolute crap. I really need to quit that. Like... now. lol My sister just shipped the workout clothes she bought me so when I receive them and get my yoga mat and fitness ball it's time to get serious. Really... this time... I'm such a loser. lol

I've been procrastinating my butt off. I didn't want to read my child psych book so much that I actually cleaned almost the entire house. At least I've been productive though. I need to do the kitchen soon though, too tired to finish it tonight. And I'll need to mop. But I vacuumed and picked up stuff. I'm really hoping to have the house done before Sky gets home. I think it would be nice. It would be really different but at least he'd no longer have to hear me complain about the house... until we move that is. :p

Did you know that using newspaper to wipe down mirrors and windows actually doesn't leave any streaks? It actually works. I tried it today. No more paper towels for me. Plus, its more abrasive so I think it actually gets all the junk off too. Awesome.

So I just watched the first episode (I think) of 16 and Pregnant on MTV.com. It was about a girl named Maci and her "fiance" Ryan. And I just have to say that Ryan is a total douche.

Anyway, last night I had a great time at Peggy's for her birthday. We ate entirely too much junk food. We watched Swingers (awesome movie), had sake, and went over and hung out in her neighbor's hot tub. It was a good night. She also made me an awesome breakfast this morning. After that she dropped me off at home where I talked to Sky for a while.

Around 6ish Michelle came and picked me up and we studied for our Japanese quiz that we'll take tomorrow. I also ate my weight in lumpia. lol Anyway, I'm le tired.

OMG I absolutely LOVE my PSYC Professor. He must know that (second to Kimmie) I'm like the most impatient person ever. He's already posted the grades for my final as well as my final grade in the class. I'm a little disappointed with how I did on the final though. I studied but I guess I just wasn't prepared. :( I did get an A in the class though so I'm very happy about that.

Anyway, going over to Michelle's soon for studying/homework/Army Wives. :D I'll blog again later... perhaps.

2009-06-11T03:00:00.000-07:00

I just took my PSYC final. And of course because I'm incredibly impatient I'm going to be on pins and needles until the grades post.

We're still working on numbers and money in Japanese class. We have a quiz on Monday for lessons 4 & 5. Michelle and I will be studying tomorrow and Sunday. Saturday I'm probably staying over at Peggy's. It's her birthday so we'll do a movie or something. We were going to go kareoke but since I'm not entirely positive I'm in the clear with this Financial Aid hiccup that will have to wait till another time.

Monday my Child PSYC class starts. I've already done a few things but I'll probably read a chapter or two on Sunday to get ahead. I certainly don't need to slack like I did in PSYC 100. :s Bad me. lol

We hope to finish Army Wives soon. I'm thinking I might just have to buy it soon. We shall see. They're not airing the third season here like we thought they would so I guess the internet it is. I'll have to locate that S-Video cable and Michelle and I will just have to hook up her laptop to one of our TVs.

Anyway, I'm tired of sitting in my computer chair.

We are being taught numbers and time in Japanese. Which sucks because man am I bad at numbers... in all languages.

I believe the financial aid issue has been resolved. I'm still going to call and bother them until I see it on my account. I absolutely cannot afford to keep my Child PSYC class if this payment doesn't go through. It should be all good though. I corrected the typo and the term dates and now I know for next time to go over things and be more careful. I do need to change some things on my career plan though. I'll do that next term. I may take it off for when Sky gets back but I may not. We shall discuss.

I'm tired and need to clean.

On the bright side Michelle rented the first disc of the second season of Army Wives and we watched it yesterday. After class we'll be getting the next two so maybe that'll cheer me up some.

About to start getting ready for Japanese. Michelle is going to pick me up early so we have more study time before the quiz. I just wanted to rant. Might post later.

I'll start of with last night. I stayed over at Peggy's, we watched James Franco in Flyboys and Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus in The Boondock Saints. We also went over and scared the crap out of her neighbor and then played a couple rounds of darts. But it rained all last night as well as most of the day today so we didn't end up going to American day. Maybe tomorrow. We'll see.

After Peggy dropped me off at home I talked to Sky for a bit. I started feeling pretty crappy so I went and bummed around on the couch and watched Scrubs. Then we talked again, then I ate and went back to Scrubs. I love that show. :D

Ugh... I feel so crappy though. Physically and emotionally. I am sooooooo ready for Sky to just be home already. It seems like the days are getting longer the closer we get to him coming home. I've been so distracted I haven't really studied for my PSYC final. I'm glad I set it for the 11th. Wah!!! I MISS MY HUBBY!!! :(

I'm really failing at titles now. :p

So, Japanese again today. Before that I found out a dear friend is coming to see me!! I'm excited. That means I have to get my house clean. :p lol Hopefully Danielle can come after that! I would just be totally stoked and feel uber loved! Because hopefully that would take up enough time that Sky would be home soon after! I would be so happy!!! See all the exclamation points!!!???

So after Japanese Michelle and I went back to her place where we did our homework and then studied for the test we'll have on Monday. I quizzed her then she quizzed me. We'll probably study again on Sunday or something. We're going to figure it out. She's going to study hiragana and then we will use flash cards to study. That comes next week.

This weekend I will be studying for my PSYC final and also going to Peggy's for wine or sake and to watch James Franco be hot in Fly Boys. Then we might hit American Day.

Well, I've got other stuff to do but before that I would like to introduce you ladies to "W." I think every woman (except you mom and Aunt C, because that would be weird) should own this picture. :D

lol g'night everybody.

Hello there

2009-06-03T05:20:00.000-07:00

Hello, hello, hello...

I just got back from driving the Subaru again. Michelle and Gian said I did much better than last time. I think so too. I only stalled like 5 times or something. Which is pretty good for the amount of times we went around. I almost stalled once but I saved it... that's right. I'm awesome. :p The feelings of nausea are fading quicker, maybe soon I'll be ready to do more than just parking lots. We shall see. I'm still scared to death. Anyway, before driving...

Michelle came and got me at around 1145. We did class. Learned how to give our phone numbers and all that jazz. After class we were starving so we were going to run by verizon and pay my bill but their system was down. I also found out it isn't due until the 29th so I'll just pay it on the 15th. I bought my book instead which is good because it already arrived. When I got my book I realized what a nerd I am because I was excited to be able to read ahead. :p Oh well, I'm okay with it. Hopefully it will be beneficial. :D

We were starving so we went to Pepper Lunch. God, I effen love that place. <3 Anyway, then we went to Daiso and got some things. I got my in laws some tea cups for their tea kettle. I got them eight. I'd take a picture but I already packed them in a box. They're nice though. It looks like it'll match their kettle pretty well. I hope they like them. After the mall they just dropped me off so I could study and talk to Sky.

Well, I'm going to watch a few episodes of Scrubs before bed. Oyasumi!!

Another day...

2009-06-02T05:50:00.000-07:00

So today Michelle picked me up and we went to class. It was cool. She made us talk in front of the class though. That kind of sucked. I have crazy "stage fright" so I was shaking when I sat down. So we went through class, there were a couple more people there today so that's cool. After that we went to the Frame Shop, the post office, the BX and commissary, then over to Michelle's for homework. When we got done and Gian got home they dropped me off at my place so I could study some for my PSYC final and talk to Sky.

They were going to go to the pool in that time but it was packed so they went back to their house and then walked over to mine. So we took the Subaru over to their place to have dinner and then we were going to go and I was going to drive. But after we ate I was so bloated I thought I would puke just on the drive home so we're doing it tomorrow. We'll get an earlier start anyway.

But here are some pictures I've wanted to share but kept forgetting to get (thanks for sending them, Michelle!)

First I give you the epic "Cup of Noodles Guy" at Shimoda mall.

Here are the Hachinohe horses outside the brand new shoppette.

Here are some crazy, awesome, weird bread things at a bakery.

Well I shall leave you now.

I forgot to blog yesterday! :s Well here's a recap for you.

I had told both my parents and my sister to call me in the morning just in case since yesterday my parents forgot. :p Luckily my sister remembered and she called. So I got up and started to get ready for Michelle to come get me. She got to my place about 1130. Class didn't start for another half hour so we decided to go and check out the new Shoppette. We got some water and things and then we each got free cans of beer with our purchases. That's right... free beer at 1130. :p I was amused by that. Anyway, before we left we took pictures with the Hachinohe horses they had outside and I'll put those up when I get them from Michelle later today.

Anyway, we got to class and it's pretty empty. I guess quite a few people were absent. That's cool though. We pretty much just went through the Syllabus, a little bit of history, practiced the hiraganas A-O, and then went over the "common expressions" (you know, ohaiyo gozaimasu, konnichiwa, konbanwa...etc).

After class Michelle and I checked out the bookmark and got some cards (they'd just put father's day ones out). Then she took me back to my place. I ran upstairs and dropped all my crap off before running back down and meeting up with Peggy. She and I then went to the mall.

When we got there we immediately got Pepper Lunch (duh, lol) then we shopped around. I replaced the mermaid for my mother in law that I lost (sort of, its the same size just a little bit different) and then we hit up Daiso. We got some sticker pictures done! :D It was the first time in forever so it took a little while to figure it out. We messed two up but it's cool. Anyway, we shopped around a bit and then we headed out. We checked out the Cake House which is an awesome bakery near her place then we went to Universe for produce and then she took me home.

Then I talked to Sky for a bit but he had to head to work so we didn't get to talk long. I then watched a little Scrubs, did some homework, did a little studying, had dinner, did some more stuff and then got ready for bed. I'm now about to have to get ready for school again so dewa mata! :D

The weekend

2009-05-31T04:14:00.000-07:00

Was super fun and apparently extremely exhausting!!! lol I'm wicked tired for some reason but I really should be doing my PSYC homework. I'd like to do it as early as possible since Michelle and I start Japanese tomorrow. Soooo.... let's see. Friday was uneventful. Michelle, Gian, and I had already planned on going to go to the Asamushi Aquarium Saturday morning so... Here's an overview.

Saturday: We were planning on leaving at 0930 and we were going to go to the ATM and get yen and everything. So the night before I set my alarm for 0700... and 0710... and 0730... AND I asked my sister to call me at 0800 to make sure I was up. So what happens? I wake up to the doorbell ringing at 0930 (yeah... thanks Desiree :p) I bolt out of bed and run to get the door. I open it and very sheepishly announce to Michelle that I slept through ALL my alarms and that I would only be a minute. (Good thing I showered Friday night) So I rush around and get ready and then we head out. We get on the road a full half hour late. Yeah... I felt like an asshole. They're super cool though so they only made fun of me a little. :D

So we get to the aquarium and we were given little flyers that show everything we can see and we saw that the Jumping Dolphins show was starting. So we go over to the theater and it is PACKED. It was about 1130. So we talked about what to do and just decided we would catch the 1300 showing. So we walked around. It was quite a small aquarium but it had a lot of really cool, really strange, and really ugly things. (I'll post a few pictures below) So we saw pretty much everything including the Jumping Dolphin show and the Sea Otter feeding show (they're super cute by the way). We got a couple videos of the dolphins and the sea otters as well as some of the sea lions (including one where a sea lion was chasing it's own tail, it was rather amusing.) So here, enjoy some random out of order pictures with no captions. :D

So there was the Asamushi Aquarium.

After that we went back to my house so I could pick up some stuff and stay at their place. We went and hung out there a while and then we headed to a Chinese restaurant that I can't remember the name of. It was pretty good. The only problems I had was the lack of stuff in the fried wontons (they had like tiny pieces of chicken in the very corner) and the fact that they were pricey. But the food was yummy. After we ate we went back to their house and played some poker and scrabble. We played poker first. Two games, the first game Michelle won and the second one I won. Then Gian won at scrabble (by like... a lot lol). Then we watched Scrubs and passed out.

Sunday: We woke up and bummed around watching more Scrubs. Then we finally got up and went to the commissary (which was super crowded and lame) and then I dropped my stuff off at home really quick and they dropped me off at the theater where I met up with Peggy and FINALLY watched Star Trek... and it was EFFEN AWESOME!!! I would have sat straight through a second showing if there was one! We've pretty much decided to see it again. Maybe I can understand more of what Chekov is saying. :p Srsly... that movie rocks. Go see it. (Yeah, you too Danielle and Michelle!! lol)

So now I'm going to do some homework since I start Japanese tomorrow. I'll try and do cleaning too. So... later!

No Star Trek today. Our plans got ruined so we're going on Sunday... I stayed home, finally cleaned my kitchen (WOOT!) and watched a butt load of That '70s Show.

Hmmmm... Well, sorry about the baby post but that was like all I did today. So... later.

2009-05-28T07:07:00.000-07:00

I drove the Subaru!!! And aside from the fog, the being too far from the pedals, the intitial problems we had at first from the car being stationary, the having to move from parking lot to parking lot, the cotton mouth, and the feelings of nausea I think I did pretty well. :p Srsly though.

I'm really glad I met all these great people who are willing to get in a stick shift with me and get headaches and whiplash. Michelle and Gian took me out tonight. They were awesome. Gian totally digs the car. :D This weekend (I think) he's going to help me check the brakes and help me fix the lever that moves the driver's seat forward and back. And tonight he even filled the tires with air and checked my oil. So Michelle, Gian... you guys kick ridiculous amounts of ass!

But I'm tired so I shall blog later.

Plan for tomorrow:

Past few days update

2009-05-27T08:37:00.000-07:00

Sorry! I was going to blog "yesterday" (technically the day before but I'm going to say yesterday) but for some reason my browsers weren't working for me.

So anyway, yesterday I got up at like 9 something or 10 and got ready, talked to Sky for a bit and then Michelle came and picked me up at 11. We went to the BX and she bought Twilight and then we went to this awesome beach and laid out for an hour. Then we ran to the commissary to get the last things for dinner. After that we headed back to her house where we met up with Gian (her husband) and we all got ready and went to the pool where he proceeded to kick my ass (he was a swimmer in high school and is in really good shape, I on the other hand am none of the above). After I inhaled about 2 gallons of pool water (all through my nose) we finally left and headed back to their house where Michelle cooked for us. We then had cookies and watched Twilight. (Oh I read the first book the day before) Then they dropped me off at home.

Today I woke up and was trying to snooze when my phone rang. It was Peggy and she told me she was bringing me breakfast. I am getting pretty spoiled! :D After I had breakfast and we talked a while I did a little homework and then I went to the club to get my permit. Then I headed to the post office and ended up having a ton of packages so I called Michelle to see if she'd be willing to help me out and if she wanted to hang out afterward. So she and Gian came and picked me up and we ended up going back to their house (after a quick trip to the commissary) and the fed me again. I love going over there! Seriously, they ALWAYS have three course meals. They're both such good cooks. I think the next meal is going to be Michelle's chili. Mmmm... I'm like a perfect help for them because Michelle hates tossing food and I'm there to help ensure it all gets eaten. :D Mmm... After dinner I taught them to play Texas Hold 'em (although we'll have to do that again with actual poker chips) and then we played Scrabble. Michelle won both games. She made sure to rub it in too! ;) Anyway, I'm tired and talking to Sky so I'll update with more later.

2009-05-25T03:11:00.000-07:00

Let's see...

I read Twilight, Michelle dropped by to give me the second book so I guess I'll start that when I go to bed tonight. Tomorrow we're going to watch the movie, go swimming, and then have dinner.

I've just been working on school other than that. There's been a package of mine at the post office for a while that I've been too lazy to get. I'm going to get a second notice here in a few days so I'll see if I can pick that up tomorrow maybe.

This term is almost over and the next one is almost starting. I'm excited to start Japanese. Plus, I'm going to make Michelle be my gym buddy! We're going to try and figure out a schedule. I'm thinking three days weight training and three days swimming. Maybe I'll wait to add actual heavy cardio until I get good bras. Desiree is going to be getting them for me but it is still going to be a few more weeks I think.

In psychology right now I'm reading about psychological disorders and I just have to say whoever named the phobia of long words hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia was a sick bastard. :p I mean srsly. That's not very nice. They can't even tell people about it! Although I have to admit I was amused there is a name for people who have a phobia of peanut butter sticking to the roof of their mouths. It's called arachibutyrophobia. I wouldn't think that was very common but apparently it is common enough to have a name.

I did some cleaning and some homework today and I'll do some more tomorrow. But I think I'm too tired to do homework now. So... deuce.

2009-05-22T17:56:00.000-07:00

I miss my husband so incredibly much! I know I'm being kind of a girl but I wish I could go see him. To make things worse there are a lot of spouses there visiting now and although he knows that I would go in a heartbeat he also knows why I can't. But I really want to. And of course now I'm being like this huge girl because he sent me the this video on youtube and told me he was going to learn it and play it for me... yeah... I cried. :s

Moving on from the depressing stuff... I went to Peggy's last night for a BBQ and luckily no one thought I was an infant. I kind of just stuck around with Peggy and her neighbors (who I totally dig) so it wasn't like I was hanging out with a bunch of randomers.

We had fun. We had some food. Hade some sake. Had some conversation. It was cool. Now I need to finish the last bit of homework I have for this week and clean my house for like three days straight because it is wrecked. I haven't mopped in longer than I'd like to admit. :p

Oh... and Saving Grace? Sky will understand. ;)

I'm tired and don't feel good. I have two questions left on this quiz but I just cannot bring myself to answer them yet. Luckily it isn't due till Sunday.

Man, I've just been off my rocker the past couple of days. I've been all crazy and hormonal... I really feel bad for my hubby. I really hope I can find a way to control my craziness before we have kids. :s

Peggy told me about a job opening at the Misawa Inns but I think I'm going to try and get my license first. Plus with that and school and me trying to get into a workout routine I don't want to over do it. So we shall see. I'll keep you updated with that.

I'm tired and hungry and ate like four nutter butters today.

And I know I'm totally late but I'm stoked that Shawn Johnson won Dancing With The Stars!

:( I screwed up so I'm going to start all over with the working out thing. I guess I'm just putting too much emphasis on trying to get there around the same time. I don't know, we'll see. I'd like to go ahead and add swimming to the mix, my uncle bought me a suit so hopefully it will be sufficient for laps. If not there are these awesome suits at Sports Authority but they're like $100 so I'll definitely have to discuss that with Sky. But they're awesome. They're pretty much like this except they're two piece and much cuter. And the one I want zips all the way up the front. Plus I don't think that during laps my butt will pop out. But we'll see how this suit I have. It's cute though so even if it doesn't work for laps I'll just have two suits to swim for fun in which is cool.

Anyway, still no word on my lost items. I went and replaced the socks but there were no erasers and there was only a huge mermaid and I wasn't sure if my MIL would want that one so I'm thinking I'll just wait for the key chain sized one. If next time I go they don't have a key chain one though maybe I'll just get her the big one if she wants it. (Well do ya? :p)

I'm tired and gotz homeworkz. So... bai.

2009-05-19T00:03:00.000-07:00

Totally disappointed. Michelle and I went to the beach to look for seashells (and starfish) and because it was so damn windy out yesterday we were pretty sure there would be a ton of stuff washed on shore... yeah, we were wrong. It was SO bare! We each got like three things and that's it. It was lame. Oh well at least we walked around. I got some more good pictures, the waves were crazy. Anyway, after that I came home and talked to Sky for a bit.

I'm feeling kind of down for pretty much no reason. I've been slacking on the working out and I haven't been eating very healthy. Actually Peggy and I went to McDonalds and met a crazy old Japanese guy. He was doing magic tricks. That was by far the weirdest thing that's happened. It was pretty uncomfortable too. :s

Anyway, I really need to be productive, either do more homework or clean or work out some. Late.

2009-05-18T04:26:00.000-07:00

2 out of 3 isn't so bad, right? lol I went to the gym and I did *some* homework and *some* cleaning. So I consider it two out of three. Shut up, don't judge me.

Anyway, I got a sign at the Pony Plaza that says "This is an American home/Run Japanese Style/Please take off your shoes/And stay a while" or something. The Pony Plaza is awesome, I'm going to have to get most people a couple items from there.

Michelle and I went to the Arts and Crafts Annex to get a custom frame for her wedding photo that had matting around it that everyone signed. Then we went to UMUC so she could pick up the Japanese book we'll need for the summer term. Which is cool because my uncle bought mine for me so if mine doesn't get here right away I can just share with her. :D After that stuff we were going to go over to this lady's house and check out some jewelry she makes and I fell in love with a pair of earrings so I'll have to go back and visit her again sometime. Michelle bought some earrings though(she's a TOTAL jewelry junkie.) When the lady gets her website up and running I'll be checking that out though and probably sending the link to my mother in law because I think she would really like everything.

Anyway Michelle and I are probably going to go to the mall on Wed so she can get a swim suit and I can replace the stuff I lost since no one has called about it.

Well "I'm le tired."

2009-05-17T05:31:00.000-07:00

Today was somewhat productive...ish... Michelle and her husband came over and we were going to rearrange the storage unit and hook up my printer (finally). In my "passport" I had a thing for a free pizza from the Mokuteki so I figured they could help me eat it. And! I was very good. I got salad so that I wouldn't eat too much pizza. I still had two peices though, I really need to work on that some. lol Anyway, we ate and then we didn't feel like doing anything so we were going to watch a movie but decided we should hook up the printer first so we did that. The storage unit will have to wait for another day (again lol).

We were going to watch a movie that they had gotten from netflix and had brought over but when I heard they hadn't seen Super Troopers I could not let them live another day without seeing it. So we watched that instead. Of course they thought it was awesome, because that movie rocks.

Earlier in the day though I went to the BX and got some pimp running shoes half off! Dad would be so proud. :D They're awesome. They're Adidas. It's funny because I saw them on display and I was looking for black shoes or mostly black shoes (since I eff white ones up ridiculously fast) and they were the only ones there. There were only four boxes on the shelves two size 5's, one 5 1/2, and one 12 1/2. I wear a 6 1/7 - 7 usually. So I went and asked an employee if they had anymore. Since they were on clearance and being phased out those were the only ones. So for the hell of it I decided to try on the 5 1/2. My friend Peggy who was with me was saying I was crazy and would never fit them. I explained to her depending on the shoe I can wear anywhere from a 5 to a 7 1/2. She kept saying I had small feet "but not that small!" I slipped them on, and sure enough they fit PERFECTLY! lol She was shocked. I was too a bit. But yeah, I was all over that. Now I just need some bras (chop chop Desiree) and I'll be in business. I really need to lose fat and that's the best way to do it (right?). lol I don't know, I'm pulling the working out business out of my ass. :p

Anyway: awesome shoes and groceries and nothing at the post office. After that Peggy dropped me off at home and I talked to my hubby and then to my uncle for quite some time. I finally gave him the address to my blog. I hadn't earlier because I really didn't know what I was going to blog about or how committed I would be to it. Plus, sometimes I get a little inappropriate, lol I already warned him about that and told him not to tell my dad. :p Eh, most of my inappropriate stuff is in my quotes anyway so it isn't really me being inappropriate. So that doesn't count right? ;)

Anyway, talking to my baby. He's mad about poker so I'm going to wrap this up.

Tomorrow I need to:
GYM
CLEAN MY KITCHEN (the entire thing! clean out the fridge, mop, dishes, counters etc)
DO HOMEWORK

Confusing, eh? Well listen to my day...

In the morning I woke up and hung out on the computer for a bit. Then I went and waited for Michelle to come get me so I could go with her to the kennel. That all went pretty well, we got everything done. Few bumps in the road. Whatev, everything is dandy. We finish our shift, she drops me off at home so we can both shower. I talk to Sky for a bit then shower than she and her husband come and get me and we go to the mall (again) and had Pepper Lunch (again, but srsly, if you had it you would do the same) and then went and shopped around.

I got my fork and cup for my Nightmare bento set from one store and then I had a different bag that I had gotten from one of those little vendors in the middle of the mall where I bought two ridiculously awesome pairs of Nightmare socks. I had also bought the stationary store out of Nightmare erasers and a gift for my mother in law at another vendor (a mermaid voodo doll key chain type thing) and I had put both of those in the bag with my socks... well... I F*(#ING lost it... Yup, just, gone... :( *cries* I didn't feel it fall, didn't hear it, don't remember setting it down. I'm so upset. We left Michelle's number with the lady at information with a description of the bag and all the contents of it (she spoke REALLY good English, by the way) so hopefully someone turns it in and they call.

Well after that, trying not to think about it too much I kept my plans with my key spouse. She and I went to the "Party Light" party and that was pretty cool. There are some things I like so I'm going to survey the house and try and figure out where I'm trying to go with it so maybe I can add some new pretty things. After that we ran by her house to check on everything and make sure the kids were asleep and didn't give the sitter too much trouble. Her doggy was all up in my face and when depression stikes puppy love is definitely helpful to the healing process... And you know what else is? Pineapple + Malibu + Comedians = Less unhappy
We saw Alex Ortiz and I can't remember the other guys name. Which makes me feel bad. It was fun. One of my favorite jokes was Alex talking about some of the times you said "Oh, God" and one of them was when the cable went out you would think "Oh, God... Now I gotta talk to this bitch." I cracked up at that. OOOOOH!!!! And before I forget they played freaking HANDLEBARS by the Flobots while we were waiting for the first comedian to take the stage. I was freaking out! I've only ever heard that at Justin's (since he was the one who introduced us to it) and our house or our car. I have to make friends with that couple. The wife is AD and she's on the radio but she's also the DJ for the club (I guess part time?) and her husband is a personal trainer. They seem like cool people. Especially since she played that song! :D

I'm still sort of depressed because now I can't get a hold of Sky. So I think I'm going to go take out my contacts and get ready for bed.

I GOT APPROVED FOR $6,000.00 FOR FINANCIAL AID!!!!!! *does super uber happy dance*
Granted this is spread out across my entire AA but it's still awesome! I also got STAP for the summer semester so I'm going to take three classes since now I have the financial backing for it. :D I'm just trying to decide whether I should take Child Psychology or Introduction to Counseling. I guess it depends on what the advisor says when I call back. I'd accidentally left off Intro to Counseling so if I have to go through the hassle of getting my plan approved again I'm just going to do Child Psych. I believe I will find both to be interesting.

Anyway, sorry I've been a crappy blogger. I've been trying to be awesome at everything and failing at it. I'm doing fairly well in PSYC right now and I've been to the gym for like two weeks now! Also I've been hanging out with Michelle and Peggy a lot. Worry not, blogging isn't the only thing that has suffered at the expense of my social life. I really need to clean my house. :s lol

Anyway, tomorrow I'm volunteering at the kennel than Michelle and her hubby are going to come by and we're going to re-arrange my storage unit and they're going to store the box their "super sweet" TV came in with my stuff since it won't fit in they're storage area at their place. I don't know how long that will take but we'll probably hang out for a while afterward.

Then, at about six, my key spouse and I are going to this "lighting party" which I guess is like a tupperware party except with candels so that'll be cool. Maybe whoever sells them will have beeswax candels because I haven't been able to find them here. Then after that we're going to this comedy night at the club. So hopefully those bastards are funny. I'm paying $25 so I better laugh my ass off! :p I'm so cheap. lol

Speaking of cheap, before the summer term starts I'll be heading over to one of the ¥100 stores for some fun supplies. I already got a Nightmare pencil bag that I will be using inside my Nightmare messenger bag! :D I'm such a nerd. But an awesome one. :p Yeah I just need to get some awesome Japanese pencils, erasers, pens, notebooks, and folders. Srsly. Everything is so much cooler here. You should see the sponge aisle... Mmmkay... those of you who haven't been to Japan probably think I'm crazy by being amused by sponges but I'll take pictures and post them. They're all adorable.

Alrighty... I'm tired and I should try and do something productive (sitting on the couch is productive right? :p) Whatev.

And if you don't know what that is

Yup!

Definitely back to my old self! :D :D :D

Went to the gym again. Got tore up again. I think my butt is getting bigger though! :D I'm sure that's TMI for some of you but whatev. :p

Not too much else is going on. We had to order another curtain panel for our living room because I must have added the measurements wrong. Anyway, the curtains didn't cover the entire area. So since we had to order another panel we decided to go ahead and get the curtains for the other bedroom. We wanted to get the mink brown ones but they didn't have that so we went ahead and got blue.

Next things we need:

Bedding for both rooms
Coffee table/end tables
Mirror
Inexpensive decoration stuff (vases, baskets, fake flowers because I kill real ones... etc)
A few rugs
And a roman shade for the stupid window up front that has a screen on the inside :s

Then we'll be mostly done with the house until we move back to the states and hopefully get to start replacing our funiture (and mattress).

That is all.
