Betty Page died, that is all. Made me sad. But the way she lived the first part of her life is how I will remember her. Not the part about stabbing people. And being a hermit pack rat. She will never be forgotten for the progress in womens sexuality.

So as another year draws to a close. I have nothing profound to say, no new enlightenment. This year was one for the memory banks though. Living in Italy, traveling Europe.... sometimes it still seems so surreal. Like it was a dream. But no one can take away my memories from that year of my life. Hard times and good combined. I did learn a lot. How I am stronger than I thought. How I am weaker in some ways. Who my true friends are. What good wine is. That I am not ready for kids for a while. That a puppys love can brighten my day, as with my cat. I have been reminded that I get to dependent on my friends, then when they pull back I get hurt. I have been reminded that change is hard. That death is hard to deal with. But most importantly I have been reminded that I am healthy, alive, happy, and comfortable. I am not where I ever thought I would be, but then again for the most part who did turn out to be who they thought they would.
But I am here and ready to face what the world throws at me next.
I have my big kid pants on and am ready.

I am so friggin stressed out about this house............... things are not going as smoothly as we had hoped for. There is still lots of hope, but shock value over the last few days has been intense. Plus all the family and friend shit that has been going on. Noah and I mad a promise to eachother before we left Italy. We need to make and take more time for ourselves. We take too much time out of our life to accomidate other people. Especailly when it is not reciprocated. It is not that we don't love our family and friends... but we love eachother and need to have more us time. There are so many things that we never did around this area because we were taking our weekends and vacations to go to Idaho, Pullman, Vancouver and Spokane. If our friends and family love us so much as they say they do they will start to realize that they need to make the effort to come see us. As there are a select few that have. We have no problem with having visitors here, plus we can still do some exploring of our area that way too!! Plus once we get this house, we will be a little more restricted as to going places anyhow. Being that there is a lot of stuff that needs to get done with the house for it to be how we want it! And that will mean that is where most of our money is going to be headed. And I can't wait to have that house, and be able to pain the walls and let my dog out the back door to do is buisness. Noah can have his room, I can have my room. And that kitchen...........oh how I love that kitchen.
But untill then I need to get off my butt and do some work on this house. It is a mess, plus I still have christmas stuff I need to work on to get some stuff in the mail. If I don't get off the couch now, I never will.....

So right now I am in Noah's office aboard the USS Emory S Land. I have been on the ship since about 8:30 this morning and am so ready for a nap. I once again have no idea how he can live like this on a boat, in the conditions that he does. At least here he can see the sunshine. I can't say I have learned much but I do feel very lucky for getting the opportunity to do something like this, as not many people do. It is very interesting walking around though, seeing faces that look familiar from 5 months ago wandering around La Madd, here on the boat and now out in town. I am so glad they are finally home, and do hope that life starts taking on some sort of normalcy soon... but then again its not like we were ever able to sit stil for very long anyhow... oh well. That may change with us buying a house and me getting a job?!?!?!?! hum, how odd it feels to be starting over...ish.

I hate the day the boat comes home just as much as I love it. It is always one of the longest days EVER!! Nothing you do seems to pass the time quick enough. And every half hour you check your phone just in case you missed a call somehow even though you have your ringer set as loud as it could be. I really can't wait till Noah is out of the navy and I don't have to sit through days like this any more. Only 5 more years.... ugh. I am just so happy that I will have him for a whole year after this!! Hooray!

Something that is so friggin frustrating when you get on the ferry and get all snuggled in to relax for an hour and zone out listening to music only to find that your ipod is dead..... So instead you are stuck listening to the babble of the stupid little blond teenagers talkign to this boy being so fucking dumb.
LAME
Other than that, an awsome night with Brad and Mom. Brad always makes me laugh soo much, he is shuch a character.
One of his better lines from this evning was "You have to have a masters degree in parking to be able to park anything bigger than a geo in Seattle any more"
Plus I got to eat good thai and that always makes me happy

So I forgot how wonderful and beautiful this area is when it is covered in fog. I just love driving around in it. As hard as it is sometimes, I love this area so much. Even when I feel lonely I have decided that it I will go for a drive, I am finding new areas that I have never been to around here that are so beautiful that are only like 10 min away from my apartment! I love it. Plus it is fun to look for houses that are for sale! I can't wait to start looking at houses when Noah comes home! I can't wait to be able to paint walls, and have a garden. Have a yard that I can let the dog out and not have to walk down a flight of stairs. Whom by the way is getting his balls chopped off today, poor little man. I think Gracie is very happy to have me all to herself today. Ok lots of cleaning to do today while I don't have the puppy around.

Yesterday was one of those days that just made my heart happy.........now today.... I feeling very upset with several of my "friends" I am so pissed off. I am tired of being pushed off and shoved aside and like they don't really want to hang out with me at all in the first place.
I can't wait to see my sister in law on Monday and my mom on Thursday and have my Mini back in full and wonderful working condition on Wednesday.
I miss my husband, I know that he will be back soon but not soon enough.
I can't wait to start working again.
Make new friends
Buy a house
Get into a routine

Sometimes a shower can be the most wonderful thing in the world. Especially after you have been cleaning all day. Very zen, and yet invigorating. I finally feel like I have made some progress in this house, and I am sooooo proud of myself for getting rid of so much stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (don't worry christopher I didn't get rid of the butt pants) The trick now is just getting the motivation to go up and down the stairs a bunch of times to take all the other boxes of stuff down to the garage to get them out of the way, then you will be able to tell I have actually been working and not just moving boxes from room to room. Man I can't wait to have a house that I will have lots of room and a place to put all our stuff. If it doesn't have a place then it goes to goodwill. I am really trying to make an effort to get rid of a lot of the clutter in my life............... makes for less stress.

FREAKING HELL the boxes are never ending!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But the good news is the wine came today!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and my god do I feel like a grown up.... we went to 6 furniture stores yesterday and finally found a bedroom set that we love! It will be here tomorrow. Im so excited. It is so beautiful. But I am ready for things to calm down again. I like being able to stay in my jammies all day.....

Hooray!!

2007-10-04T18:28:53Z

I recieve my household goods today!!!!!!!!!!! And Noah is here to help me with it all!!! And we get our wine on Monday. Now just waiting on the car. But still wonderful to know it will all be here.... now the fun process of unpacking and organizing. Aranging and rearanging everything!!
Oh and it gets fucking cold up here at night.. I forgot.... that was kind of a shocker last night when we went out to dinner. I hate the waiting game with the movers. They tell you that they will be to your house between 8am and 5pm......... so you have to sit and wait.... it sucks.
So thats what Im doin.... sitting waiting.... bored. Lame

Fuck the fucking navy fuckheads that don't think that a spouses garandmothers funeral is important enough for him to come home for. Plus the fact that the CO or the XO decided that it wasn't important enough to inform him that his leave had been denied for 2 days. How dare they leave people hanging like that.

fuck them fuck them fuck them

Birthday wishes

2007-09-19T02:35:07Z

Well today started out with a conversation with my husband and that was very nice. But then the rest of the day was rather lame... a very uneventful birthday. My friend Candice did pick me up and take me out to dinner and that was awsome!! It was so nice to finally start reconecting with her again. Plus her puppy and Boris are getting along a little better. That will help things alot. But it is now 7:30, back home and bored again. I think I am going to walk down to the gas station and get me some ice cream and a bottle of wine. Sounds like a good end to a birthday to me.

my grammy

2007-09-14T02:09:42Z

Well today has been kinda sad again. I just herd from my dad again and my grama got moved to the hospice wing of this retirement home. She seems to be happy there. They are thinking that she will be with us here on earth for about another week... maybe two. But that would be pushing it. She is at peace, she is ready and isn't scared. And she isn't in any pain. She has made the decision to let the cancer just finnish doing it's thing.
I am very happy that I got to see here again before I got home. But it is hard to think that I will be back in Ohio before I know it. I think in a lot of ways it would be easier had she not gone back into the hospital, because now it really is just everyone waiting.... It makes it nice so everyone can get their goodbyes in, but every time my phone rings and dad's name comes up on caller id I get a lump in my throat. I am having a really hard time right now not having my husband here for hugs and loves. Plus I hate to leave my dog for a week right after I picked him up. I am scared to go down to portland next weekend because I may have to drive back up to Seattle in the middle of the night or something. I know I can't put my life totally on hold, but it is making it kinda hard to have a really good time and keep a smile on my face. Although watching my puppy chase his little tail, and watching him be a total dork helps.
