time is not my friend lately...

I really tried to make a point to write something everyday, however everyday turns into the next day before I even realize it.  I've been up working till nearly 2am every night for who knows how long.  H has to ask me if I'm coming to bed. Then we sleep in till nearly noon...I am not complaining I love that he is home, however I'm beginning to stress out about money for the next few months.

I am working on retiring several pieces of my jewelry collection and adding new ones and more tees for the spring.  This means getting accurate inventory counts and updating the website, which on some days has been just a nightmare.  No one ever said this would be easy, so many factors can cause me to become unhappy, feeling unproductive and most of them are out of my control, websites down, vendors having things on back order, it goes on and on.  Owning my own business has been amazing though.  Once we get through Christmas I'll feel a little better.  So far so good, and only 12, 11 days left, no I don't really know what day it is...

I'm pretty sure it's the 14th which *gulp* means H has now just 3 more months before he leaves.  Which brings me to clarify why I tell people he leaves on my birthday.  He leaves, like on the plane leaves 3/15, he has to stay in a hotel the night prior, being the 14th, yes I will see him on the 15th, but I'll be all alone the night of my birthday, not something I've ever had to do before...*sigh* I can do this, I hope to have several pillow pets and Hello Kitty plushes to curl up next to...wow 3 months...better start some lists!

where shoes belong and seeing kitty

H-"Roxy, tell momma that shoes don't go in the kitchen"
*Roxy takes my side and we both ignore H and forget all about what he said"

G-*walks into dark kitchen later* "oh geeze I thought I stepped on an animal"
H-"well that is why shoes don't go in the kitchen"
G-"ya know, don't be surprised if I start storing shoes in the oven again after you are gone"
H-"I'll be gone you can store whatever you want in there"

(flipping through a pottery barn kids catalog)
G-"hey look what kind of luggage they have now"
H-"hmm"
H-"wait that looks like Navy camo"
G-"yes that is what I was trying to show you"
H-"oh I thought you were showing me the Hello Kitty, oh that's not Hello Kitty"
(I start playing a game on my phone)
H-*shakes head*
G-"what?"
H-"at first I thought that was Hello Kitty, you have so much Hello Kitty in here I'm seeing things"
G-"well, I hadn't really intennnnnnded on so much coming in here before you left, maybe after you left, but it happens..."

I adore H, I'm worried who I will have these lovely conversations with when he is not around, guess I'll talk to the dogs more, ha ha.  On a heartfelt serious note, I recieved Hello Kitty rhinestone earbuds today in the mail, a total surprise, it wasn't a Christmas gift, it was a "just because" gift sprinkled with love and support for my soon-to-be life.  I feel so much love and support from military wives and friends around me that I'm not half as worried as I had been about getting through 9 weeks without H.  I also participated in a military nesties gift exchange, my secret santa was awesome, I got Starbucks goodies and Hello Kitty goodies.  So fun to have ladies like this that I don't even know to go to and do fun little things like this with.  I'm such a goober when it comes to little surprises in the mail, am I the only one?

On a health note, October and November has nearly killed me, down 56lbs and up 18? Oh I hate the holidays and their evil foods...ok October was doused in sugar from fairs, homecoming, amusement park and just bad traveling lol...then it just continued...oh I suppose I better get to the pool or to the gym before I have no jeans that fit me...what a downer! I can do this though I just have to get my head back on right and get rid of the soda in our home...water, water, water. 

School starts soon and I'm already getting emails from professors, yay! (yes I am a nerd, geek, dork...whatever) I'm looking forward to having class 2 days a week to get me out of the house and in the meantime I can still work and get caught up on scrapbooks. 

Brrrrr winter is almost here, think it's a good time to cuddle up to H and go to sleep.

overheard...

I added more pink lights to our bedroom...

G-"so fun huh? You like?"
H-"they're pink, I like them as much as I can like pink..."

Something makes me think he can't wait to leave just to escape the pink for a while...he he


H-"so it's 45 here, guess what it is in Great Lakes?" (iPhone in hand)
G-"ugh...17?"
H-"are you serious?"
G-"well I don't know, why?"
H-(shows me phone and I guessed dead on)
G-"no way!"
H-"of all the numbers you could pick, and you say 17"

is it bedtime yet?

What a long day...all the insanity of staying up waiting to enroll then enrolling half asleep, I go and change my schedule anyway...oh well. I'm not taking french after all, H convinced me that it may be taking on too much, a foreign language online? Eh he is probably right and it had him concerned I'd stress out over it, so done. Instead I'm taking another government class and guitar, ha ha yes guitar. I'll be rocking it two days a week, with of course my Hello Kitty guitar picks, AND getting a grade for it = ) pouvez-vous dire de plus amusant que le français?

Earlier tonight:
H-"you were mean last night"
G-"you're reading my blog again?"
H-*smiles*
G-"then I guess you know I didn't intend to be mean"

Of all the people I thought would read it, he was not one of them. He never read any of the years I wrote in my livejournal...I'm ok with it.  I actually likes that he reads it.  This afternoon something was brought up and that is when I found out he read it, he said he never knew how to get to it before.  (all ya had to do was ask me...I confessed to him that I probably can't tell him things that I can on here, because like I have said before this is my safe place to release it all, but that it was good he was finding out, and that if there was anything he wanted to talk about from the blog to do so.  I know this is healthy for me so perhaps it will be healthy for us too.

We are going to start packing up the pottery barn plates and hopefully get the garage in better order, we HAVE to start getting things to OK before the weather gets bad...oh the lists flying through my head!  I am so tired yet cannot go to sleep because I decided to start washing bedding like an hr ago...the couch is looking cozy right now...

Okay I'm going to print off the "before he leaves for boot camp" list (the one from the Navy) and start our own.

yawn...

Oh what a baaaaad night to have insomnia. I ended up staying up way too late and believe the only way I fell asleep because I was so concerned about the sun already coming up. I then some how managed to wake up at 8:30, I mean 0830, (ya I'm working on that) and some how enrolled online, in the dark. WOW...I checked my schedule and I got in to all the classes I wanted it, so I'm impressed and can now add sleep-enrolling to my list of crazy things I can do. *heads back to school website to make sure AGAIN* yep I'm taking a required "Texas" course, History of Texas, College Algebra and French I, 13 hrs, *sigh* now on to make a list or two, three...

I woke back up around 1100 and thought H was mad at me for staying up late. Around 0530 he asked me why I was awake, to which I responded with "that's a stupid question,I can't sleep, why do you ask me that when I can't sleep, it's such a stupid question." *sniffle* he just stumbled back to bed, I wasn't mean but it could have seemed that way with my sleep deprivation. Thankfully it was all in my head, I came out to the living room and curled up with him on the couch, he was sweet and asked me why I was awake...*giggle* really what's with the sleep/awake questions? I just replied with "because" he suggested I get coffee = )

My mom got me a (RED)ISCOVER Starbucks coffee cup for Christmas, well so did my secret santa from the military nesties gift exchange, so to keep the second one or not, the day I got it H said "oh one for me" so today I asked him if he really wanted it (he is partial to my solid blue or black Starbucks cups) he said no he wouldn't really need it, in that "because I won't be here much longer" tone ugh...ok I can get use to this, really I can, until I can admit I can't I'm going to unleash on some lists, and organizing stuff...and maybe some more cleaning.
