Tonight I spent the night cuddled up with my puppy, enjoying the latest and greatest episode of Desperate Housewives (it's my secret indulgence, don't you dare judge me!) and catching up on e-mails and blog "stuff". I do apologize to those of you who read this to keep up with my life, as you may be able to tell, it's been a little... Shall we say hectic?
If I'm not running around like a chicken with my head cut off, I'm either studying for the GRE's, working out, or at the Domestic Violence Advocacy Certification program (I start working at the battered women's shelter this week). My life is starting to speed up and I can't say that I'm not pleased - I remember a time, not too long ago, when I would've begged to be as busy as I am now. Surprisingly, the deployment has started getting easier, too. I find that I am less mopey and more upbeat about everything; we've already done the distance thing, so I think we will be just fine getting through this as well.
On a brighter note, my good friend Erica's husband just came home from Afghanistan/Germany and they're headed out to Colorado Springs within the month, which means that we are finally going to be neighbors! They're expecting a baby next spring and I plan on fawning over her belly and her baby (since I have neither and don't plan on it for a while).
So, for now, I'm good. The days are flying by and the nights are a little less lonely than they used to be... Although I do miss Derek desperately. If you're wondering how he's doing? He's just fine. He spent the last few weeks at KAF (Kandahar Air Force Base) taking a hazmat class, which he passed with flying colors, then he departed from KAF, and is now en route to his new COP (Combat Outpost). I suppose I should make a page with commonly used acronyms so that you won't get confused about what I'm talking about... Yay! Another project!
Goodness, I better hit the sack. It is almost midnight and I've got a big day ahead of me tomorrow!
Tomorrow's to do:
-Pick up dress (for the ball next weekend, woohoo!)
-Get dad's car smog checked (boring)
-Work out (sigh)
-Take dogs to get their nails clipped (trying to do it myself = bad idea)
-Clean room/closet (bigger sigh)
-Figure out my new camera (yay!)
-Eat (obviously)
-Sleep (necessary)
I bid you all a goodnight. Keep your fingers crossed that I get a call from Derek tonight!
