It is okay to hate a country I've never been to
I asked a friend why he's on yahoo more than I am
replied; My girlfriend is in Iraq so I keep my phone on yahoo messenger.
oh. I hate Iraq.
he said why do you hate it. Not like you've been there.
answer, it takes the ones I care about away from time to time.
You better get used to it so does Afgan, Korea, Germany, (list goes on but I remind him of Kuwait and he says ya that too)... Welcome to the military relationship.

I told him I'm completely fine with disliking the country and it's not the place I would visit anyways.
G says the same thing and pretty much backs up S... well he is right, I've been to Iraq twice and I don't have any anything against the county. sorta is the thing about the military relationship. you have to deal with being far away from your boyfriend.
Geez!! I'm not worried about that. I've had friends over seas since the damn war started. I've lasted 7 months already whats 6 to 9 more really?
Geez!! I'm not worried about that. I've had friends over seas since the damn war started. I've lasted 7 months already whats 6 to 9 more really?
I gotta tell ya the dry emotionless attitude that a military man can have is ANNOYING!! I've encountered it with friends and their girlfriends... they get this attitude and I've heard all the nightmares cause I've watched them in relationships and they have told me about their troubles because I can actually talk to them about it. when they find a girl that changes everything and they are no longer the emotionless.
Makes me a little weary of my relationship with J. J sorta had that attitude pre-Navy. the other day we had a 2 hour conversation but last night he was sorta short with me. I gave him a WHOA there buddy! I'm the girl who's been sitting tight here in the Civilian world on the pure chance that I can be here for you! don't give me the easily annoyed crap! He's coming home in less than a week now and I'm nervous. What if he gets home and realizes that he hasn't missed me at all as much as he thought he did? I mean two different worlds here... I'm fairly confident that I'm just over thinking the whole thing because in about 5 days J will be here.

I'm also certain that I need to hush my worries because the boy has not even left yet, let alone started combat training.
"With your help,dear God, I'll try to stay strong...and pray that his tie here at home will be long.
Still, "I know that the navy will need him," I sigh
but we'll face it together, Dear Lord, you and I"

When Ghosts Get Frisky
My brother and I have always had a knack for the super natural. These things love us. my encounters make me a little nerous... because I can't really see them... but I do know when they are there and they have appeared to me in shadow form.

What I've so far learned in 2009. We must add to the "Rant"
There's lots to learn with a new year... and so far I've learned Lots... not really fantastic life moving knowledge at the most, but fun stuff :-)
I remembered that before the age of 9 I hung out with 7 boys... These boys were great friends and and through 20 years of different lives and a little bit of a reunion via Facebook we still have something to talk about! We are currently trying to figure out what our final conversation was... Kool aid, Hot box cars and kick ball probably.
20 years later you find out that even with the distance you still like the same cars, did basically the same dorky stuff in high school, and wonder what it would have been like if you hadn't lost touch.
every party should involve a game of Kings or Monopoly.
If you don't get to spend New Year's Eve with your Navy boyfriend (because he's a dummy) you'll end up catching a picture of some other girl watching the ball drop in Times Square in the arms of a sailor!! *sigh*
Jo's name ends with an uh, and I am so happy she was not in Colorado so I could spend New Years Eve with her and her family in the "Historic town of Milford"
& specking of Milford I learned a couple other things. Milford is about a mile away from Jersey and a mile away from New York. Port Jervis taught me about Admiral Nelson (Jo says its great i just liked the picture) & knock off Southern Comfort sucks!
When you Drink Alot with Jo at L and M's house and then spend the entire next day hanging out with Jo watching season 1 of "One Tree Hill" with a hang over you will not go hungry. Chef M makes sure of that and man he's a good cook!
Packing places in Port Jervis and probably everywhere but NJ sell individual bottles I bought 2 Strawberry Smirnoff Ice for $1.50 each. That stuff is TASTE-eeee!!!!!
A Night back in Jersey is worth millions especially when when spent with H & L
Living 80 steps from bar stool to bed will be missed when you have to hike up a hill in freezing cold weather.
you will be missed too when it snows and your neighbor has no one to drink with while shovling the dreaded drive way!!
You will Always be a regular at Johnnies Tavern once loved always loved!! God I miss that place.
God I miss Boonton!!
certian friends' boyfriends cause drama... and when your away from the drama long enough it's bigger when you have to be around it again. :-(
Every Military Man (or any man for that matter) has a teenager trapped inside him... You will be reminded of this when your Navy Boyfriend calls you up while drinking with his buddies and pleads you text him a picture of your boobs. With your agreement... you do so fully knowing that his single buddies now know what they look like and are jealous of your boyfriend and can't wait to meet you. Beware of the fully nude photos girls!! He probably will pin them to his helmet well combing the sandbox in the Middle East.
New York / New Jersey pizza does not have Wisconsin Cheese on it!!
PA is only boring if you have no one to hang out with!!! (where are you SAMMIE???)
Sheetz in Hazzy is almost as cool as Quick Check in Madison or WaWa in Little Egg Harbor. Exspecially when you are related to the counter girl! (then you get free coffee cards sweet!!)
Turkey Hill in Brodheadsville is full of Jersey girls!! I love it!!
that's all I got for now.

40 Tips for Better Life in 2009
1. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
2. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to __________ today.'
4. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.
5. Buy a DVR and tape your late night shows and get more sleep.
6. Play more games and read more books than you did in 2008.
7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, tai chi, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.

13. Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.
14. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
15. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
16. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
25. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'
26. Forgive everyone for everything.
27. What other people think of you is none of your business.
28. GOD heals almost everything.
29. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
30. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
31. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
32. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
33. The best is yet to come.
34. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
35. Do the right thing!
36. Call your family often.
37. Enjoy the ride. Remember this is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.
38. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
39. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for __________. Today I accomplished _________.
