35 random things

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

I was tagged, but instead of tagging anyone and making them feel pressured to participate, how about anyone that reads this do it if you want. If you do though, link me up in the comments, so I can read :).

 

1. I have become a HUGE procrastinator since I stopped working. Totally out of the norm for me.

2. I am a huge geek and love all things techy.

3. There is an 80′s Madonna song on the music channel right now and I can sing along. Does that show my age or what?!

4. I am addicted to making notes, to do lists, etc. Paper and digital versions.

5. I have gained 30 pounds since October and I am NOT happy about it.

6. Some days I have pity parties about having cancer and other days it does not phase me at all.

7. I love my iPhone, but I do NOT like talking on it. Or any phone. Give me email any day of the week.

8. I absolutely adored Paris and would live there in a heartbeat.

9. We are currently about to close on our very 1st house and while I am very excited, I hope to not have to do it again for a VERY long time.

10. I love frogs. I have several frog *things* and even 2 water frogs (they are our 3rd and 4th technically, my first pair Bryan got me as a gift when we were newlyweds).

11. Black is my favorite color.

12. Red and green come in a close second and third.

13. I WILL run a half-mary…someday.

14. I am very competitive and am a sore loser.

15. I had to have a c/s with Jacey because she was stubborn and wouldn’t turn….the stubbornness has not ceased :).

16. Bryan and I met online.

17. Bryan and I got married after 6 months “together”. Only 3 was spent dating though, since he left for basic soon after we met.

18. We were given 6 months.

19. We just passed up 11 years this past July.

20. I still like to color in coloring books.

21. My toenails are ALWAYS painted.

22. I like home DIY projects….except painting. I leave that to Bryan.

23. I rarely watch TV.

24. I am addicted to prime lenses.

25. I want to learn how to snow ski someday.

26. I cannot water ski to save my life.

27. I can wakeboard though.

28. I was a lifeguard and swim instructor all through high school and college.

29. I had to pay for Jacey lessons to learn how to swim though. Parental headbutting got the best of me and I gave up.

30. I REALLY want a Macbook Pro.

31. I love to cook and am looking forward to my huge kitchen!

32. I have lived in 3 states, 2 countries and more cities than I have fingers.

33. 95% of the time, I don’t feel like I am a very good Mom.

34. I am a grease monkey in hiding. I like working on cars and don’t mind getting dirty (so long as I don’t have to stay that way long).

35. I am a t-shirt, jeans and flip-flops girl.

AWOL

Monday, September 13th, 2010

Yes, it’s me Lacey.

No, I am not dead.

Yes, I miss you all too.

Sigh.

Life is crazy. Not sure I can put it any other way. We haven’t closed on the house yet and I spend about 3 hours a day in the truck taking J back and forth to school. She’s worth it, but it is getting old. I suppose I could blog from my phone, but that is a toal pain to type anything meaningful on and well, the only other “chunk” of time I spend on the computer is in the middle of the night (ahem, for example), when I should be sleeping.

I promise a better update.

Soon.

Just don’t go holding your breath, I’m not responsible for blue skin and goose eggs.

Grateful Friday

Friday, September 10th, 2010

1. Everything we bought for the house today was on sale (fridge, washer, dryer, pedestals, bedroom fans and dining room light fixture), plus we got $510 in discounts AND have another $380 coming back to us from the state of Nevada and the gas company for buying energy star.

2. The sellers agreed to the appraisal price, so we can close soon.

3. Bryan has only one more step for his medical clearance, so he can hopefully fly again soon (Eglin messed up his flight physical, so he’s been grounded for a while).

4. The Melting Pot tomorrow night!

5. Ice cream (my hips are not grateful for it, but I am right now).

MilSpouse Friday Fill-In #12

Friday, September 10th, 2010

 

Join in over here at Wife of a Sailor.

 

1. Do you set goals for yourself during deployment?  What are some of them? (from Military Mommy)

I sure do…to make it through the deployment sane and to not maim my child. I’m an overachiever :)!

2. What would you say to someone dating a military guy or gal? (from Mothering Off the Cuff)

Don’t do it!

No, seriously…enjoy your time with them. Also, if you *think* it may get serious, start learning from all the pros (experienced, no bs military wives) early. Military life IS NOT easy but is worth the effort.

3. If you have children, how do you prepare them to move to a new place? (from The Random Ramblings of A Household 6)

Jacey is a piece of cake when it comes to the move. We talk about where we are moving, look up fun things to do, take her house hunting. Anything to keep her involved and make it sound exciting.

4. Name one hobby that gets you through alone time.  (from My Sailor’s Mistress)

The internet. It is amazing how much time it sucks away from you. I can sit down to check an email and 2 hours later, realize I never actually read that email.

Oh, and photography. When I actually dust the 2in think layer of dust off my camera.

5. What’s the one food you don’t ever get tired of? (from That Army Wife Life)

ICE CREAM!

Grateful Friday

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

1. New friends.

2. Jacey enjoyed her first week at school and seems to like her main teacher (GATE doesn’t begin until September 13th).

3. iPhones aren’t permanently rendered useless when they get overheated. Just useless for about 10 minutes…LOL!

4. Bryan bought me the clock for the dining room I have been eyeing in “mommy’s happy store” (what Jacey calls Target) for the last 2 years. And it was on sale, half off!

5. Date days with Bryan while J is in school.
