I’ve struggled for days over whether or not to blog about make a New Years resolution list. It is cheesy and lame but yet every year me and the rest of the world continue to make promises to ourselves that we most likely won’t keep. Hopefully looking at them consistently will help me stay on track.
1) To lose weight. (Yes. At the top of my list. I manage to do this every year but I’ve accomplished this one before and I’ll do it again, dammit. )
2) To finally enroll in school this summer and get my degree.
3) To try a new music class.
3) To read more books.
4.) (Maybe) Get a new hairstyle.
5) Actually save some money!

You bring out the best and the worst of me.
So my boyfriend is mad at me. Albeit he has a good reason. I did kind freak out on him.
I’ve been blogging for a good 6 years now. I’ve found it a place for me to vent my feelings and when of course when we started dating it was a place for me to really say how I feel about him and certain events that were happening in my life at the time. I had the page open because I wanted to write something today. I’ve had a hard time blogging about anything lately.
So he starts reading and of course he stumbles upon a private post. My immediate reaction was to stop him from reading it, even though I don’t really know why it was private in the first place. It wasn’t bad..just a venting session where I felt at my most vulnerable. He could have read it and probably not thought a thing about it but since I’ve poured my heart out in the past and had to explain to him why I was feeling that way of course my instant reaction was to not let him see it.
This of course sparked anger in him because he feels I’m being secretive(and of course I really am not and I really had no reason to keep him from reading it..it was just a stupid overreaction) and has hardly talked to me all day. I feel bad and it was stupid to act the way I did especially since I’ve become used to telling him everyday and if he reads this: I’m sorry.
Things are finally looking up.
No more waking up grumpy hating the fact I have to waste my gas driving to a place that I hate more than bad television.
No more sitting around and listening to “Well my baby’s daddy..” drama.
No more dealing with bitchy supervisors, getting dicked around and a shitty regime.
I found another job. And I couldn’t be more happier. Going back to retail..not back to HT but another store. I put in my 2 weeks Monday and next Friday will be my last day at that shitty collection agency. I couldn’t be happier.
Me and the Department of Motor Vehicles have a love affair going on. They apparently like talking to me as much as I like talking to them. So apparently shortly after they finally reinstated my license the payment for my insurance on my credit card did not go through. Thus, causing me to lapse in my insurance. Lackadaisically, I was not aware until about a week ago when I finally checked my mail and was informed that I a)had no insurance and b) am being charged $500 for an uninsured motorists fee. So I have about one month to come up with the money to pay them for it. Oh, how I love you DMV.
And enough with the sad/annoying part.
Jon comes home in about 24 hours. I’m so excited! (Assuming he doesn’t remember and doesn’t read my blog) I plan on having a little surprise set up for him when he comes home. None of his friends have ever done anything special for him when he comes back from deployment or boot camp so I think he would really appreciate what I’m doing. Just have to go buy some decorations and an ice cream cake. (And not going to lie..I’m getting it a little bit for myself as well..I miss those!) And thankfully I took Friday and Saturday off from my job so we can spend some time together. Although I am feeling a bit weird with him being home as well. I’ve officially adapted to the life of a military girlfriend and gotten used to the idea of him being gone. It’s going to feel a little weird with him being home all the time again but, nonetheless, I’m glad I get to see my baby.
I would like to take this past week and wrap it up in a box and never let it go. I had such a great time in Missouri. After 2 long months I finally got to see my love again. Had the best birthday ever just being around him. (PLUS he bought me an xbox for my birthday!!) I met a lot of cool guys that he works/spend a lot of time with. I loved taking a break from my crazy life and not having to worry about anything except what I was going to have for dinner that night. I was careless. I was carefree. It was all so damn near perfect. And now only 17 more days until he comes home.
I’ve been a naughty girl. After realizing how addicted I am to my computer, I figured out the boyfriends password on his laptop this morning. *evil grin*
These past few days have been amazing. I needed a vacation and I finally left on Saturday morning to come visit Jon in Missouri. The flight I can’t complain about. The plane was rather small and I passed out for about 1 1/2 out of my 2 hours flight. I finally got to the airport and I didn’t see him at first. I went and retrieved my luggage and waited around 6 minutes before I found him. (Due to my impatience, I was a little peeved he wasn’t there to greet me but that immediately went away when I saw him) I was flabberghasted. I haven’t seen him in 2 1/2 months and I couldn’t help but give him the biggest hug. I didn’t want to let go! Suprisingly he also bought me a rose. I’ve never received one before and the gesture completely shocked me.
We decided to spend the day in St. Louis and left the airport to go exploring. We eventually found a White Castle.(And not caring that I swore off meat again 3 weeks earlier I just had to have one of their cheeseburgers!) So we ate and then drove around some more. We ultimately got lost half the day and we called his friend Terra for help since she lives there. After getting lost some more due to slightly difficult directions (and even more difficult highways) we finally found a mall to go to. We looked around a bit and finally went to the movies to go see Paranormal Activity. What a scary movie!(Poor baby got no sleep that night because I was tossing and turning from that movie.) We then went and got my birthday gift (All the girls at work said I should get a ring..pssh..I got an Xbox.) and started the long drive back to his hotel in St. Roberts but we started drifting asleep so we found a hotel to stay at and resumed the drive back the next day. 2 1/2 hours later we finally got “home”.
Later that night he took me to Ruby Tuesday’s for dinner. (I wanted sushi but the sushi place was closed Sunday night.) Ate dinner, came home, placed some games and fell asleep. Monday night he did take me to sushi, a place called Kyoto. I order a Dragon Roll and a Crunchy Tuna Roll but somehow I think they wound up giving me a Shrimp Tempura Roll. Interesting. The sushi wasn’t that good. He did order cheesecake..or fried cheesecake, rather. That has to be the first time I’ve ever been turned off by cheesecake. Never again.
This has turned out to be such an amazing few days I don’t want to come home without him. But eh..when I do he’ll be back about 2 weeks later. Good times.
I’m going to have to curb the drinking again.
There is a portion of my Saturday/Sunday morning that I do not remember.
I never used to black out drinking. Maybe that’s my body’s way of saying “STOP DOING THAT YOU HOSE BEAST”.
I wound up again doing things I shouldn’t have done.
Apparently gave Jon and all the old truckers around him a show.
At least I faired better than Rebekah. She blacked out and had the hangover of death chilling out with her all day Sunday.
