It's only been 2 weeks??

A little recap from last Sunday to Friday- either some freak in my neighborhood or a cat (I can't decide which) left a mutilated squirrel on my front porch. I have yet to clean up the remnants because 1. we don't own a shovel (I don't know what I'll do if I ever need to bury something or someone haha) and 2. I don't want to touch it or go near it. I am now paranoid and not sure I can live here alone for the rest of deployment. I know Ryan's worried. He should really be worried about the power bill...I've been sleeping with the lights on :O

 And the transmission in my car died. My car that I just got last October. That only has 59,625 miles on it. :( 

Sooo I'm driving Ryan's truck for now, which is breaking the bank over gas. It cost me 52 bucks to fill it up today!!! And that was at 2.93/gallon, the cheapest I could find. 

 I am definitely ready for this summer. Mostly because I want this semester to be over with! I'm already over it. Not to mention I've had enough of the cold weather and I'm ready to start laying out at the pool again. I plan to be skinny and tan when Ryan returns :) My goals for this summer are 1. To be black 2. Look damn good in a bikini 3. Learn to sew 

   On a brighter note, I went to my first bridal show today! I think I'm now even more confused about what I want. There's just too many choices! It was a blast. There was cake EVERYWHERE! yes, I broke my new year's resolution already and cheated. I couldn't help myself. We're talking cake here. I am very weak when it comes to cake and theres not a gluten free option. I'll be honest. I sampled about 15 different flavors. :O 

   I'm sending Ryan his first care package tomorrow. He's decided it would be fun to send each other videos. Since the ship's email blocks any kind of media over a certain amount, we're exchanging SD cards (the little thing in your camera that holds pictures/videos). When I say videos, no they are not dirty. He thinks it'll be better than email, but honestly I think mine are boring. lol. They are all "Hey, this was my day...." and "heres Gigi being crazy again..." He's sending me a video and pictures from his first port call to Portugal (that's where they were last week). I'm excited to hear all about his experiences with their green wine, and what the food was like. I'm sure he has a lot more exciting things to tell than I did. He's been hinting around about snickerdoodles, so I'm going to include a batch of those too. We'll see how well they hold up in the mail for a week or so. 

  I found a farm in Ohio that makes jam, and all sorts of other goodies. So for his next care package, I ordered some gooseberry jam (his favorite) and boysenberry jam (since I ate all of it). He thinks I'm nuts for eating it with a spoon but I have a feeling he'll be doing the same. 

  I'm not sure how this post turned out to be about food after beginning with a dead squirrel, but regardless now I'm hungry and it's too late to eat :( Guess that means I should stop procrastinating and write my paper and go to bed!
