❊ I can't seem to catch a break lately. I've felt like crap for about a week now. First it was my throat, then that quit hurting and my asthma started acting up. And as always, my shoulder is giving me fits. (I need to schedule a massage ASAP! Any island buddies have suggestions?) Today is the first day in about 5 days that my chest hasn't hurt and I can actually take a full, deep breath. But now my throat is hurting. Ugh! Before, it was just scratchy and mostly annoying. Now it just plain hurts and I don't want to eat, drink or breathe for fear it will hurt. =( Seriously, what the H is going on with me?!
❊ I've been on a sewing kick lately. It started with all these baby shower gifts... I got a little crazy today and made these for myself. Nope, not pregnant. Hubby's not home, so we're not "trying." And I made them anyway. Someone stop me!
They are cute though, right? =) And there will be a super cute blanket to match them at some point in the near future! Seriously, I think I need help.
❊ My hubby got a new roommate! =D This makes me exceedingly happy. Oh, and him too. =P His last roommate wasn't too keen on things like showering, getting up on time and being considerate of others. The last time they had a day off on the same day, he refused to turn down his TV/music, so Joe and I couldn't Skype. Jerk. Joe's been trying to get another guy to move in with him for a few weeks and he just moved in a couple days ago. My favorite part? This guy is married. And his wife is pretty nice. Praise the Lord! Oh, I didn't mention that Joe's former roommate was, ahem, with a female soldier several times? Should have mentioned that. *sigh*
❊ I've also been on a reading binge lately. =P Last week, I got a book in the mail from PaperBackSwap... Once I finished reading what I'd been reading, I picked up that book. I'm fairly certain that I read this one in about 3 days. Now, I have read a book in a day before but that was when I was a teenager with nothing better to do. Considering that I've also done a few things around the house and watched TV, I think 3 days is kind of a big deal. And, yes, I do read with and watch TV at the same time. It's honestly almost harder for me to read in silence. My family is, well, loud so I guess I learned to deal with it/block it out and now I need the noise. I find that a little sad, lol!
❊ My favorite quote from tonight's TV: "Viagra: It makes peaks where there once were valleys." (Mike & Molly) Hehehe. =)
❊ We are currently in double. digits!!!!!!!!! "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..." I can't freakin' wait for this deployment to be over!!! One of my friends put this as her FB status today: "You know your husband's been deployed a long time when you forget his cell phone number but remember his SSN." Yup. That pretty much covers it. =P
❊ Oh! I met up with Miranda and Annie (for the first time!) yesterday for lunch. =) It was a great time, and a much-needed outing for me. Luckily, we all felt the same way. We're all stinkin' hermits. Seriously, I feel like I never leave my house. I know it's kinda my own fault, but I just really don't do going places alone well. Running errands, sure. Shopping, dinner and movies? Not so much. {Though, the shopping alone does happen. Retail is therapy.} Anyways, we had a great time and I'm hoping to hang out with them more!
❊ I'm not ready for summer yet. I know y'all are just getting geared up for spring, but that means summer is going to arrive in Hawaii shortly. I can already feel the sun getting hotter. While there are days that I really do enjoy soaking up that sun, this little white girl has no desire to bake under the extreme summer sun. However, I do need a new bathing suit. =P
❊ I should probably start going to bed earlier, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I know I'm going to regret that when Joe comes home. He's always been the "early to bed, early to rise" type and I've always been exactly the opposite. I almost had him trained when he went to basic. *sigh*
I miss his silly face. =)
❊ Keep an eye out for a giveaway in the next several days!! The big 4-0-0 will be here soon!! =)
