Hey, I'm still at WLC. I will be back in about two weeks. I'll be gone for the entire month of September...Just in case someone was missing me.

Everyone leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as I get home.

Bye for now, I only have a few seconds. I just love military schools.

Humm..don't have much to write about. Just a little update to say "I'm Alive!"

www.killsometime.com has this retarded video of Brittney Spears. She has to be stoned or something. At first I thought it was fake, but OH NO...it is her. Dumb Girl! Check it out. This website is hilarious if you have never been.

A woman goes to the doctor for her yearly physical.

The nurse starts with certain basic items.

"How much do you weigh?" she asks.

"115," she says.

The nurse puts her on the scale.

It turns out her weight is 140.

The nurse asks, "Your height?"

"5 foot 8," she says.

The nurse checks and sees that she only measures 5' 5".

She then takes her blood pressure

And tells the woman it is very high.

"Of course it's high!" she screams,

"When I came in here I was tall and slender!

Now I'm short and fat!"

3. Men are like .. Weather . Nothing can be done to change them.
4. Men are like .. Blenders You need One, but you're not quite sure why.
5. Men are like ....Chocolate Bars .... Sweet, smooth, & they usually head right for your hips.
6. Men are like ..   Commercials ....... You can't believe a word they say.
7. Men are like ...    Department Stores ..... Their clothes are always 1/2 off.
8. Men are like .. . Government Bonds .... They take soooooooo long to mature.
9. Men are like .. . Mascara . They usually run at the first sign of emotion.
10. Men are like ... Popcorn .... They satisfy you, but only for a little while.
11. Men are like     Snowstorms .... You never know when they're coming, how many inches you'll get or how long it will last.
12. Men are like .. Lava Lamps .... Fun to look at, but not very bright.
13. Men are like ...  Parking Spots . All the good ones are taken, the rest are handicapped.

BE A BITCH ................

BITCHOLOGY

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.

When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch.

When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch.

Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart.
It means I live my life MY way.
It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.
When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined
as a bitch.

The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish.
It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be.
I am outspoken, opinionated and determined I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!
So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me.
You won't succeed.

And if that makes me a bitch, so be it.
I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.

B - Babe
I - In
T - Total
C - Control of
H - Herself

B = Beautiful
I = Intelligent
T = Talented
C = Charming
H = Hell of a Woman

I want a new lay-out. I wish I knew how to do it.

Thu, 27 Jul 2006 17:34:19 GMT

Geez. I haven't been on here in forever. Just been busy. I'm a sucky LJ friend!
So what's been going on with everyone? I probably don't even have any more LJ friends.

Man Oh Man. Anyway I go to WCL on 30 August - 29 September. I really want to get it over with, but I really really don't want to go. I hate being away from home even when I'm just at work, I can't imagine being gone for a month for this course. Its gonna be like boot camp all over again. Well, probably not that bad since we are just there to learn how to be "LEADERs", but it is not gonna be fun. I'll get over it though since I have to go. WCL-Warrior Leader Course.

What else? I'm sure a ton has happened since I was last on here, but nothing to write about, same ol crap. Work, a few parties, this and that. I am getting really antsy to get out of this country. The thought of going to the mall on a Sunday or going anywhere after 7 on Saturday is so joyous right now. Its the little things. I miss the US of A.

I did throw a Baby-shower for a friend. It was cute. I decorated and everything. The cake was so adorable. Of course I had it made. I have a picture somewhere, but if I'm too lazy to update, believe you me I'm too lazy to load pictures.

I got a rug stuck in the washer today and Trav had to come home from work and get it out. That was hilarious. I felt bad though. I didn't do it on purpose.

Okay. I'm bored. I guess I'll hear from you later..or I won't.

Catch you all later...much later probably.

Fri, 07 Jul 2006 18:32:11 GMT

I just realized that I haven't even posted pictures of our new tattoos we got in may.

My calf, well, side of my leg.
Trav's forearm

The Hills Have Eyes = Freaky!

Big BBQ this weekend at our place.

Thats all I got for now, getting ready for work.

short note

Tue, 13 Jun 2006 14:52:21 GMT

I'm super bored at work. I have a few things to do, but I just wanna go home. Everything is going pretty good. We are getting ready to move at the end of December. We can not wait. I hate being in Germany. It is a nice experience and all, but I miss the good ole USofA. I've been looking at houses and apartments. I'm ready to start packing today. Trav and I are thinking...thinking...I said...thinking about having a baby when we move. After we get settled in and all. Did I say thinking?! Okay, just making sure.

We had a big BBQ this weekend. Of course the MPs got called because some of our crazy neighbors were out there totally trashed and trying to sing Tracy Chapman. It was wild.
The weather has started to get really nice. We are going to the Black Forest and Europa park this weekend. We are gonna try and plan a trip to Amsterdam soon. We only have 6 months left. Well, less than that now.

I guess I'm gonna get off here and finish up.

Thu, 08 Jun 2006 17:29:58 GMT

Ha Ha... Me riding Bunny's bike...Trav's sister...

Tue, 06 Jun 2006 16:26:02 GMT

Update

Sun, 28 May 2006 18:34:27 GMT

I haven't updated in ages. Sorry!! I was on vacation in the states. I have tons of pictures, but since the last time I was on here, the "cut" thingy has changed. We have six more months in Germany!!
Can someone help me post pictures from photobucket??

Wed, 12 Apr 2006 16:16:00 GMT

got another dog. his name is toedoe. he was neglected and has some serious health issues, but i just couldn't leave him with the people that had him. he's cute. just hyper. sugar hates him, but maybe they will eventually get along. he looks just like sugar too. i'll post some pix someday.

Thu, 06 Apr 2006 15:35:43 GMT

I made a 146 out of 150 on my promotion board. That is really good if you didn't know. I'm suppose to be getting promoted to Corporal in a few weeks. Yippee. Then I'll be going to the Warrior Leader Course, then maybe I'll have enought points to get my E-5 (sergeant). Anyway.
Trav and I bought a beautiful sleigh bed. Its getting delivered on Friday!!!

Thats it for now.

Sat, 01 Apr 2006 08:18:58 GMT

I got my bonus! I got my bonus! I got my bonus!

$12,000.00

Going to spend just a tiny tiny bit today. I haven't been shopping in forever!!

Thu, 30 Mar 2006 15:38:23 GMT

I won the Soldier of the Month Board for my unit.

Promotion Board on the 5th.

Soldier of the quarter board...don't know when.

Bought a DVD CAMCORDER!!! so nice.

Looking into houses in Augusta.

Sat, 25 Mar 2006 09:46:22 GMT

St.Patty's Day was CRAZY!!! I have some pictures, but first I must figure out the LJ cut again since it has changed. We also ate at this awesome steak place in Mannheim called Buffalo. It was 65 euro for Trav and I to eat and that is about 80 dollars. It was so good. Germans aren't big into steak so it was awesome to go there and get some. Trav had lobster tail too. Anyway. I've been really studying for the board. Went in for a bit today to get my uniform straight and practice a bit. We are going to Mainz in a bit which is about 1 1/2 hours away..just for Mexican food. I crave it!! Thats all for now.
We are getting ready to go home in May to visit and then in December to stay...well in Augusta,Ga that is .... will be our new home.

Dallas, Melanie, and Carlos

Melanie,Carlos and ME

ME again... I love my boots.

Me,Jen in the back, and Carmen...she's like a big sister to me.

The light made this picture look kinda funny...

I bought a pack of cigs from the machine and they actually put money inside the package.
Weird! We had to take a picture. The Germans do some weird stuff. They are on a strike and
our trash hasn't been picked up in forever. There are huge piles all over the sides of the road.
So nasty. I was gonna take a picture, but it was too dark. Plus, they found the bird flu in the
next town over. Grrrreat.

Me and Jen...I have too many friends named Jennifer. @ Coyote...

Rob, Jason, can't remember that guys name...friend of Rob's, and Travis

Waiting outside for a cab in 27degree weather at 4am

I know you wanna look @ the pictures and leave lots of comments!

Fri, 03 Mar 2006 15:48:53 GMT

SNOW.SNOW.and more SNOW. When is it ever going to stop? By the looks of the white powered stuff invading Germany right now...Never. It even snowed the other day while the sun was out. Is that actually possible you ask?! Yes. I've seen it with my own two eyes. Going to play Bingo tonight. Gonna try and win something good. Tomorrow is Carmen's going away party. BooHoo.Gonna miss her. Might go to the Salsa club afterwards, but I really need to be studying for the promotion board. I only have 3 more weeks until I go. We'll see how good I do. Nothing else really. All es Gut.

Yikes

Thu, 16 Feb 2006 19:43:58 GMT

I haven't updated in forever. Shame on me. Everything has been pretty hectic around here. I'm taking over the supervisor job at work, which is a complete headache and so much responsibility, but I guess they know I can handle it. I've seriously become a work-a-holic. I even have dreams about work.

We bought our tickets to go back to the states in May. Yippee. Only 1313. We also bought our tickets to fly to Ohio and they were a mere 408. Also good news. We have been really saving and we are doing so good. We actually are over our budget on what we were suppose to be at by about 250 dollars. More good news huh?!
All that is left is our rental cars, but I'm gonna wait a little longer for those.

V_Day was good. I came home to a bath-tub full of rose petals and my favorite bottle of champagne. Plus a scrumptious box of chocolates and the classic sweetheart card. Thats all I can say about that day...

I turned in my re-enlistment options and they all came back negative. The only options I currently have are ft.sill and riley. Which I would never choose to go to either place. Hmmm..Oklahoma or Kansas...how about NEITHER. good choice. So that is on hold for now, until they need to meet their retention quota and then they will give me the station of choice. Think I'm gonna wait it out and see what comes my way. Its worth the chance.

Nothing too new really. I haven't taken pix in forever. maybe this weekend. I'm off for five days. Yahoooo.
I'm currently on 24hr. duty. Yukkkk.

maybe I'll actually dress and look half way decent this weekend so I can post some new pix. My hair is getting so so long.

K. Bye. For Now. Sorry to those I haven't been commenting on. . . .

Woke up to a bunch of snow. We were only suppose to get maybe a half an inch, but more like 5" to 6",plus its been lightly snowing all day. I was hoping to get out of work, but since I have ward rounds all week and have to be in at 630 I guess that is kinda out of the question. I might be getting the supervisory job when Carmen leaves. YIKES. So much work, but it will always look good on a resume. I talked to my re-enlistment NCO about getting an assignment to Ft.Campbell. If I get the spot then we will be leaving Germany in early December. We will see....
