I think my leave officially starts on Thursday after work, but that's something I need to look into. I've been trying not to think about the fact that I'm going home to avoid the bad feelings that usually accompany that particular trip. I have enough going on here in San Diego that I actually would rather stay here. Then again, being that I'm ( Read more... )

I was actually considering the idea of not writing this entry at all. Honestly, nothing is set in stone and I'm not a fan of putting my hopes in things that I want to happen in the off chance that they don't.

I'm referring to this last week, of course, which included not only my Blue Jacket of the Year board, but also my long awaited rendez-vous ( Read more... )

Well, I didn't see this one coming ( Read more... )

I never knew before today, but laundromats are exceptionally expensive.  It cost me two dollars for each of the loads I washed and then twenty-five cents for each six minutes I dried those two loads.  Insane.  We must get a washer and dryer set in this house as soon as possible.

I did feel a little out of place, being the youngest by far, but not completely out of my element. I went along to hike, and that's what we did. There was one guy from the ( Read more... )

For as slow as my weeks usually go by, I'm surprised to say that this one flew by. Work has been hectic with me busting my butt non-stop.

I've also been working on a few of my own projects, including finding and organizing all of my ( Read more... )

I want to mention two good things, one that happened today and one that happened on Friday ( Read more... )

Well, this is odd. I'm somehow already apart of Chris's family and didn't even know it. Cheli, Chris's sister, sent me another message and told me that "Mom says hi and we all would like to meet you". That's very nice, but the real kicker came at the end, right after she gave me a list of all of their phone numbers, "You are my sister-in -law ( Read more... )

Finally, an entry about things other than STA-21 ( Read more... )

Romance, real romance, isn't about sex. It's about that feeling of closeness that comes when two people have a moment of absolute, perfect understanding. You can't buy romance, not really (despite what the commercials say), and you can't force it. You can come close, surprising a loved one with a fancy dinner or flowers or chocolates, but real, ( Read more... )
