I got to Skype my best friend
All that shopping
Feeling good about myself because I did something good for our troops
The wind makes me feel at home
The mustache has been shaved off!
Dishes are done
MUSTACHE IS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dishes keep reappearing in the sink
What’s the point in doing them?

Confidential to my pregnant readers:
Dear friends,
For my own sanity, I may have to unfollow you for a bit. Please don’t think anything of it— I’ll still come look at your blog. It’s just too hard for me to see the nausea posts, the belly pictures and the weekly updates. It’s not you, it’s me. I promise.
Best wishes for your pregnancy. Remember, you can always send me your baby via UPS. Remember...
Wednesday
Dear goodness, today has been relatively exhausting! I had to wake up early, get ready and head out to the secret spot to grill up 15 pounds of tri-tip for my husband’s law enforcement team and a bunch of retired SEALS. It was interesting to witness their group dynamics! Plus, I forgot how sharp and quick my wits are— I need to be around a bunch of foul mouthed guys more!
After lunch...

I got everything on my To Do List done and it feels SO GOOD.
I got home and realized that the lady who rang me up at JoAnn forgot to include the white fabric I was going to embroidery on. She didn’t charge me for it, but still… how inconvenient!
My husband got home two hours early!
Glee has finally pulled it’s head out of it’s ass— I actually liked this...

Making Something of My Day
Instead of hopping back on tumblr this afternoon after I got back from the grocery store, I decided to do something productive with my afternoon. Earlier in the day, I bought a couple yards of flannel, some batting and a bit of yarn with the purpose of making something very very important.
On and off for the past twenty-six years (read: mostly on), I’ve slept with a small flannel baby quilt...
To Do
9 AM- Work out
Go to the store (still haven’t decided if I’m going to do Costco or not)
((If I do go to Costco, I could go to the craft store first, which means buying fabric to embroider on!))
Home, unload everything.
Do dishes
Get ready
Straighten up house
Walk the dog
Tuesday:
Obsessing over: Food that isn’t on my diet, aka any carbs and refined sugar.
Working on: Coaxing myself out of bed for a workout on base with a good friend.
Thinking about: How zen I feel right now.
Anticipating: Going to the grocery store and buying a ton of food for the team BBQ I’m putting on at my husband’s work.
Listening to: The birds chirping their little heads off...

I’ve been in and out of bed all day. You can’t fathom the amount of cozy I am right now. Seriously, it’s unimaginable!
I’m so lazy that I don’t feel like walking the 100 yards to the diner around the corner for dessert. This is also a problem because we have no food and I’m hungry!
A solution: order delivery!
Carne asada bowl and a shrimp cocktail is on...
Christmas Shopping:
It’s by no small miracle that I’ve gotten almost all of my Christmas shopping done! Even better, I’ve only gone in to ONE store— all the other gifts I’ve purchased have been online, killer deals, and free shipping.
The only Christmas gifts I have left to buy are:
Mom: have to go in the store to get hers
Husband: just a little something more
Brother and Sister in...
Monday:
Obsessing over: This Michele watch
Working on: Nothing at the moment.
Thinking about: My husband and how much I love him, Christmas shopping.
Anticipating: Watching my shows and embroidering.
Listening to: My tummy growl. I just ate a little bit…
Drinking: Water.
Wishing: That I could teleport myself back and forth to my hometown instantly.
Carpe Cozy
I’m the most amount of cozy a person can possibly get.Infinite cozy. Cuddlicious. Yeah.
While the rest of you hard-working, contributors to society have painstakingly schlepped yourselves to work, I’m still laying in bed, contemplating what I should do today. At nine o’clock in the morning.
I could go work out, but I’m just not feeling it right now. I think I’m...

Pros and Cons of TDY
Pros:
1. I get the whole bed to myself
2. Guaranteed no night sweats and having to wash the sheets.
3. I get to stay up as late as I want.
4. I can watch tv in bed!
5. I can sleep with a fan on.
Cons:
1. I’m anxious the first night I’m alone.
2. Noises scare me.
Thank goodness our landlord (who lives on the property) is home tonight. He’d definitely save me if he...
Just a few minutes and I feel better...
I got to talk to both of my best friends for just a few minutes each… and even just hearing their voices made me feel better. I love those girls. I would call them something else, but I’m feeling sentimental right about now.
I guess it’s time to curl up on the couch with my dog, watch a little tv and sew.
I’m procrastinating putting the clean sheets on our bed. Deep...

i have it.
thanks a lot, last night’s shabu shabu. ick.
i’m disappointed that nobody wants to skype with me!
and, 6 pm feels more like 8 pm.
Ouch.

Today has been lots of drama. Between the “pep talk” I got from a military “friend” of ours and my family’s stolen jewels saga, I’m glad that I’m not the cause of any of this upheaval. Ugh, drama is tiring.
I actually ate today, which is great. However, I’m having some stomach issues and that’s not great.
I wish I could talk to my besties...
Playing Detective
Our family has been plagued with the perils of drug addiction for over thirty years— it all started with my Uncle, who used alcohol and any form of drug he could get his hands on since he was around 15 years old.
Unfortunately, the addiction was passed down to my younger brother (who has been clean and sober for two years now, thank goodness) and our cousin, the Uncle’s son. Both boys...

I WILL GET IN THE SHOWER.
I WILL GET IN THE SHOWER NOW!
Currently:
Relaxing on the couch with my little dog. I had to get out of bed early because of a night sweat. Gosh, I feel so bad for my husband when that happens. I think last night’s was because of the large amount of red meat eaten at dinner time. Who knows! All I know is that the sheets are being washed on turbo-hot-crazy-high right now. I’ll need fresh sheets anyway for when he’s TDY.

LE sigh
Listening to my Boys II Men Pandora station on the iPad, postcoitus while my husband sleeps next to me.
We’ve had an excellent day today. I feel like we’re getting back on the same page, like he can see me for who I am again. It’s nice…
Now for some rest.
Tomorrow I’m going to church, brunch with friends and to get my nails done. Plus, hubby leaves for a...
TONIGHT:
Date with my man— Shabu Shabu and a couples massage!
YAY!

I’m feeling much better today after an emotional couple of days… I don’t know, there’s just something sickening about being the only one not there at a family holiday. My husband doesn’t get it— he hasn’t been around his family in over seven years, it isn’t the same for him. That’s okay, I forgive him— he brought me home a poinsettia...
it is so hard...
I need to eat because all I’ve have today was 15 almonds and a banana. But, I’m sad and not hungry at all. I can’t take the hurt.
I made a nest in the backyard, read and napped in the sun for about two hours. It was nice, but lonely.
My house is a complete disaster, top to bottom.
I really don’t want to have to go be around people tonight and pretend that everything...

Lonesome Dove
I’m home, alone, hungover.
Yesterday’s cheatfest known as Thanksgiving was successful. But still, I felt so disconnected from my husband. I long to be the person who makes him smile.
I think I’m just sad because I’m lonely.
I feel that way even when he’s sitting right next to me.
Anxiety usually makes me feel this way. I probably should have asked the doctor for...
Well, Mike & Molly didn’t work out, but my friend and I had a great time anyway! We walked around Universal Studios City Walk, ate Pink’s hotdogs, went to Yogurtland and talked our heads off.
I had fun!
Hell, we got a couple of priority passes for the next show we want to go see— which is in less than two weeks. 2 Broke Girls! I actually watch that one…

How many of you crazy kids are in California?...
tiffabulous:
Just answer.
I’m in California!
Born and raised in a small town in Northern California; went to college in San Francisco, met my husband and now we’re stationed in Los Angeles!
I absolutely love it here— ocean, mountains, desert, hills, we’ve got all the gorgeous nature, the best fruit and veggies, lots of culture and things to do. Plus, DISNEYLAND!!!
My tumblr buddy just sent me two kinds of cookies!
Oh my gosh! They look delicious! I can’t wait to eat them tomorrow— thank goodness it’s a cheat day!
Thank you so much tumblr buddy! You are amazing!
Gobble gobble!
still waiting...: A holiday thanks.... →

Perfect.

As Thanksgiving approaches I am having a difficult time. Holidays are about happiness, togetherness, love, family, and fun. They have forever represented my favorite times of the year and left me with some of my happiest memories. I know that I am lucky in this…
