So it's my birthday. It feels like any other ordinary day. I overslept, the dog got out and I chased her around the neighborhood like an idiot, I set the house alarm off and couldn't remember my password, I have to work tonight at the crap hole, etc.
Of course I'd love Ryan to be here but that's not what I'm depressed about. I do NOT want to be 26. I'm not where I wanted to be at 26, I feel so behind. I hate reading about other people from high school and all the exciting things they're doing with their lives. At 26, I am still in college, not married, and I have yet to travel out of the country (Canada really doesn't count). Enough of the pity party. This just in:

I am going to do some homework, and get ready for work later. Can't wait for tomorrow to have my burger on a gluten free bun!

Another appliance bites the dust.
Is it possible to steam clean your carpets too often?? I do it once a week, usually Saturdays but I was off today and bored. I loaded it up like I was preparing for a battle, against my carpets. So I turned it on and let it warm up a few minutes. I pulled the trigger, releasing the soap and it made this loud purring sound, only a lot less pleasant and much louder than a cat's purr. It also wasn't actually cleaning anything.
My conclusion is this: Another appliance bites the dust. I've averaged about one a month so far this deployment, so it's only fitting something else would go down for the count as we're about to start a new month.
The OCD in me feels very sad that I won't be able to clean my carpets every week anymore :( I am slightly obsessed with the smell of it being very fresh and clean.
I haven't told Ryan yet. He'll probably just laugh. I'm not good at stuff. I break things, I'm clumsy, and stuff falls apart when I touch it.
We're not even at the halfway mark yet so I'm wondering how many more things will break before he comes home! As long as I don't burn the house down, it'll be ok.

Spring Break
For the first time in my entire college career, I'm having a real spring break. It starts tomorrow after I turn in my last assignment. I have no big plans of Cancun or Girls Gone Wild. I was thinking about painting the house but I'm going to wait, probably until May. I want it to still be fresh when Ryan comes home and I'll be done with the semester in May. I've already decided on the color I want, it's called brownstone walk up. Ryan wants to be included so I guess I'll have to do a test area and send him a picture.
Tomorrow I have an appointment to try on wedding dresses. Just for kicks, I didn't even invite my mom.( for some reason she doesn't think i'm serious about getting married in January) I'm a little worried I won't like anything, because I'm feeling so overweight right now. When I met Ryan I was down 96 pounds. Since then I've gained 25 back. I've been going to the gym recently and I was doing really well dieting...until I started baking cookies and brownies to send to Ryan. I was down 12 lbs again, but gained 5 back since I started baking and stopped keeping track of calories. I've decided since spring break is next week and I don't have any homework to do, I'm going to the gym everyday next week. Twice a day if I have to. I will live in the gym until I lose that 5 lbs again. I have to get back on track. I'm excited to be skinny again when Ryan comes home. It'll be like we just met all over again.
On another note completely off subject, I saw the Justin Bieber movie today. Don't hate. No I am not 15 but I do think he's cute and I love stories of people who made something from nothing. I even like a few of his songs. :) He definitely has a lot of talent.

7 weeks :)
It's been 7 weeks since Ryan left. I'm still doing ok I think. I went to Richmond this past weekend for the wine expo. I had planned to try on wedding dresses before coming home but ended up getting sick and spending the night in the ER. Being the hypochondriac that I am and completely obsessed with web md, I really thought I had an appendicitis, I was having extremely sharp abdominal pains. Turns out my ovary was really full and enlarged, and they recommended making an appointment with my regular doctor and scheduling another ultra sound.
Poor Ryan was completely panicked. He's had a rough week. At his annual physical, he learned he has a blister on his ear drum that's causing hearing problems. Hopefully that heals and he's not permanently deaf or he could be medically discharged. They were also unable to email because of the high security risks with the pirate/hostage situation near Somalia. According to the news they're headed for Libya now, but that hasn't been released from a military source so who knows. I've sent him a card every week, and 2 packages. I tried to space them out so he'd get something every month. Unfortunately with all the craziness he hasn't gotten any mail. When they don't follow their planned schedule of port calls it messes up the mail. He said they're supposed to be receiving over 100 pallets of mail in the next week so he'll be getting it all at the same time. Oh well.
My first class at liberty is coming to an end, it's hard to believe it's been 8 weeks already. As busy as I've been it's been hard to keep up with the cleaning the house. I read in someone else's blog about their schedule and daily maintenance. So I came up with my own schedule, so far it seems to be working. It's much less stressful to have a clean house with minimal work everyday. I am soo excited about my new classes starting in a few weeks. I am hoping to paint over the yellow and redecorate over spring break. I've decided I want tan, white and navy for the color scheme in the living/dining room. Anyone want to help paint?!?
