Sorry if my blogs are redundant.

...just this is all that's on my mind. Thankfully, I am reallyyyy blessed with amazing friends, like Colton. Colton was one of my very best friends in elementary school, right after Rand'r. We've drifted apart some, but we've always had each others back, like now. His post just made my night and had me in tears.

Isn't he the sweetest?! Lol.

I've been trying to watch last night's episode of The Lying Game, but for some reason I cannot get into it tonight. =(. It's not the show, I just cannot sit still lol.

Other news, today was fun. Started off the day with plans to go swimming...ended up going to the mall, andd taking pictures of Kim and her adorable preggo self. Found out I'm pretty decent at painting on tummies ;)...and coming up with cute names and ideas. Lol. I got the build-a-bear Will made me a new outfit, they finally came out with the ACU's and not just the Class A's.

Tomorrow we're hopefully grabbing lunch with an old friend before he leaves us to head back to Germany =(. And then I have GOT to catch up on laundry, lol.

Anyways, don't let the bed bugs bite bloggers.

Had Will make a list of stuff he'd like for his care packages today. Got a friend to do pictures at his deployment ceremony, and of course, at his coming home one also. Need to get an address book all filled out for him. Want patriotic pictures before he leaves, but he HATES pictures, so I'm doubting I'll be able to talk him into it lol. Time just needs to stop. This 4 day passed wayyyy too quickly. The waiting on him to leave is taking forever. Not that I dont like my time with Will, but it's hard. I want him to go, because the sooner he leaves, the sooner we'll be reunited <3. And I'm already looking forward to that.

Super Saturday

Today started out with a friend's kids' birthday party. That was a lot of fun =). Ate some pizza, watched the kids' do the pinata. Left to go to a Mexican restaurant with some friends. Ate some amazing chicken tacos and  had some of the owner's special drink with friends. Played a game of pool (my team won, only b/c of Will lol), and watched some football. Tomorrow morning is a lazy morning, then a cook-out, and then Monday I plan to spend the entire afternoon at the pool =D. Then Will goes back to work lol. But I'm tired, so we're about to relax and watch some TV, then head to Dreamland. =D.

Friday Frenzy

Today was a hectic day. We had an appointment to get the water extraction machinery taken away, Stanley Steamer scheduled to shampoo our carpets, and a lunch date with friends.
Lunch was amazing. We ate at a Chinese buffet. I had octopus =D. It was pretty good, but every time I ate one I had to take in a mouthful of rice because that texture freaked me out. Lol.
Stanley Steamer came right on schedule, and were even cheaper than what they quoted me. And our carpets look and smell AMAZING. =D.
The other guy, however, BLECH. He dropped off some fans to dry out our carpet (washing machine overflowed), and a dehumidifier on Tuesday. Told me he'd only charge me a flat rate of $100. Amazing. Another guy quoted $600. So, he came, and I asked who to make the check out to. He kinda hum-hawed and asked if I could pay cash. Uhm, no. So he asked if I could make the check out to his 'employee' that was with him. Mkay, whatever, you already delivered the equipment. Asked for a receipt, said he didn't have the book with him, and he'd give it to me when he picked up the equipment. Made sure he wrote that I had the stuff until Friday, and that he's charging me just the initial price on his business card. Felt kinda bad since he did give me such a low price that I gave him and the other person $20 to get lunch on me. THEN, today, he comes, 6 hours late, and only after I called to explain to him I wasn't paying another day because he didn't show up. He said he'd be there in an hour...2 hours later, he shows up. Tries telling Will his bank said that the funds weren't going to be available to him for 15 days. He then went on to demand cash.  But I called bullshit. The check cleared yesterday. Will comes in to inquire about it, and thankfully I had noticed this morning the check was cashed. Told the guy this. He implied I was lying. I get my laptop, pull up my online banking, show him the check #, and where it was cashed. He backtracked saying it was a miscommunication. Suuure it was. Guy tried guilt-tripping us, saying a dehumidifier to rent per day was $200, and we had it for 3 days. Boohoo. YOU set the price. =/. So I again inquired about my receipt, he then made an excuse about not having it, and thankfully Will's like, so then you won't have a problem signing the check stating we're paid in full. Guy got an attention, but you don't mess with my hubs when he's pissed, and you sure as hell don't accuse me of lying, lol.

But tonight was better. Will grilled some ribs, and I made mac & cheese and baked beans. We relaxed with a beer(well, mine was a Mike's Limeade), and watched some T.V. We get like 10 channels with an antennae. Old school and ghetto? Maybe. Cheap and resourceful? Heck yes. I even saw re-runs of 'The Hills,' anddd 'Friends.' I'm so EXCITED. $10! We're prob gonna get one for our bedroom soon, since it works so well. And we hung out with our neighbors =). The guy told me if I ever experience troubles like that to let him know, and he told Will he'd look in after me, as long as Will returned the favor with his girl. So that's pretty awesome.

Tomorrow we have a birthday party, and Idk what else we have planned.

But I'm about to go watch 'Madea's Big Happy Family.'

Good-night everyone.

The week is halfway over

...and the weekend brings a 4-day!...hopefully.

Tonight I'm attending a deployment expo. Lucky me. Actually, I am lucky. I wanna know as much as I can about this event that's going to drastically change my life for a while.  There's still a lot to do before he leaves. I need to make a checklist, lol.

Today seems like it's gonna be a long day. I'm prob about to cuddle up with my Lu girl and watch the Pretty Little Liars finale, and then Gossip Girl. I'm halfway through re-watching the 2nd season, then I have the 3rd season, and finally I can start on the newly released on DVD season 4.
And I still have 4 seasons of The Office to watch. lol.

Well, longer post later.

Kisses,

New Favorite Obsession

...is The Lying Game. I cannot stop watching. I got the book the show was based on, but haven't been captivated like the show did. =).

Today was a normal day. Went and got a camera so Will can take the one we have with him. Ordered APO boxes. Time is flying by =/.

Came home to Will craving pizza and root beer so we got that. I watched him play NCAA while I messed around on Facebook.

btw- I just updated our bedroom, and it's so friggin adorable. Surprisingly Will likes it. Our bed now has red sheets and a zebra blanket...I love it!

Tomorrow is my weekly girls' day lunch, and the day I pick up Will's surprise. I pre-ordered Madden for him =).

Ooh, new amazing beauty products...Maybelline's new Eye Studio Master Drama eyeline, and their Volum' Express Falsies Flared mascara. Clean & Clear's body wash in pomegranate & orange zest, and also their Morning Burst fruit infusions facial cleanser in pomegranate, passion fruit, and acai =).

Anyways, on to episode two =D.

Back to the world of blogging =)

We finally have wireless again, yay!
I've missed blogging, even when there isn't much to blog about.
June was a ton of fun. Spent a ton of time with my friends from El Paso, and my two best friends flew out to see me to help me through the last week of separation from Will. Thankfully. We did the usual best friend stuff...eat, watched chick flicks, went shopping, got pampered at the salon in the mall, and gossiped lol. I loved having them here =). Will got home on the 28th, andd we saw Eli Young Band on the 30th. They are SO amazing live. I'm in love with their song 'Crazy Girl.' July was a whirlwind kind of month. Started preparing for the big D of the Army life. Will got his promotion. Spent a lot of time at the pool. August has been a good month. Will has vaca the first two weeks of it. Got a lot of stuff done, and relaxed a ton too. We saw a bunch of movies in theaters: The Change-Up, The Help, Friends with Benefits, and Crazy Stupid Love were all good.  Went to the water park a couple times too. And got some stuff  done we've been procrastinating on. Got a savings account, got a living will and a normal will done (something I hated doing =/),  and got my car fixed (brakes and brake flushes aren't the cheapest things in the world just an fyi).
Last night was one of my good friend's birthday. What a night, lol. Will's still sleeping it off, so I was using the quiet time to get caught up =D. But I'm off to catch up on laundry and whatnot.
Have a good day everyone!
