It's My Life

so it's 6:40, i'm sitting on the couch. usually i sit up here because Deezul likes to attack first thing in the morning and if i hide on the couch it reduces the number of puncture wounds and scratch marks. gotta love puppies. however this morning he came up and started licking my foot, and then tried to climb on the couch, and as soon as i helped him up here he curled up right next to me. and is now almost asleep :) so it's a nice morning. sooo, i take back what i said yesterday to my sister about wanting to strangle my puppy!

so when we moved into our place on base, we realized 2 things very quickly... the walls are whiter than anything i've EVER SEEN... and 2, there is no carpet, JUST linoleum. throughout the entire apt. so i've slowly been getting area rugs. and the next thing i need to do is paint. :) and i am way excited to paint. i got paint chips a few weeks ago and have been weighing my options. but i think i have the 3 colors picked out. I'm keeping them a secret though shhhh. i don't like baby-name stealers and idea stealers... ok well sometimes i'm an idea stealer, but not really. cause usually i twist someones idea soo much that it's totally different. and if i do steal an idea, it's usually from someone i DON'T talk to and don't know very well. cause why would i want the same things as my closest friends, that would be boring. so stay tuned, i should be painting in the next few weeks. we also have to start buying furniture. we are buying a big glass table from one of Rye's SGT's which is good, we have so many of the guys over for dinner all the time so a table that seats 6 will be good. plus we have the bar, that i need to pick up some bar stools for. the couch is the next find. we found a BIG nice one at the store on base last night for 600, but not sure if thats the one we'll get.

i am NOT ready for Rye to leave for this month long training. he'll be in Cali for about a month. and i don't know if he'll get to bring his cell. i'll keep busy with painting and working out. but it's still gonna suck majorly!!!

speaking of working out, i'm back on track, trying to lose the last little bit of weight i wanted to when i began. ok well i still have like 20 lbs till i'm at my goal weight... but i've been running 2-3 miles almost every day. and i am only weighing myself every other week, because if i weigh more often i become obsessed! so i can't weigh for a few more days... but i feel good! and i think that's more important right now than weight. ok not really... but i am sooo determined! i picked out my dress for the Marine Corps Ball, which i found out is on halloween. and my goal is to order it in a size 4. updates to come.

alright so totally off topic.... but i just finished reading "The Hunger Games" and the sequal "Catching Fire" and i am so excited for the 3rd book to come out next month!!! those books were WAY good. and nothing like what i thought they would be like! but i was pleasantly surprised. i'm putting the audio books on Rye's ipod for his trip to cali. i think he'll like them. so ya, if you haven't read them... pick them up!

alright, well breakfast is calling my name, till next time!
