Hello All:
Well, it is precisely 2 weeks from now I will be at the IAH Airport waiting for David to arrive. This past couple of weeks seemed to be going by pretty quickly.. Glad that it is, since I'm really can't wait to get off this island here.. I really need off of here..
This week has been quite interesting.. Especially last night.. I went to Bingo and won a FABULOUS prize. It was a soft CD holder.. Holds like 5 CD/DVDs.. Yeah.. at least I won something! Went home.. Went to bed after watching alittle bit of CSI that was on the TV. Then all of a sudden, a loud, obnoxious sound woke me up.. One guess people.. .. Guess... It was the fire alarm system. I woke up and said "is that my alarm going off?" LOL.. Sure enough it was the fire alarm.. so I got my nifty robe on, got the keys, K Badge and the most important thing.. my passport and travel order for July. LOL.. I went outside and waited until the Fire Department came by to give us the all clear.. One of the other guys waiting outside with me said that this had happened like a couple of weeks ago (around 7 or 8p.m.) and the F.D. said that it was a wiring issue in the Mechanical room.. Did I mention that this happened this morning at 1230a.m.??? So.. they gave the all clear around 1245a.m... Got back into bed. couldn't go back to sleep.. (btw, the fire alarm bell is on my wall (in the hallway) so of course the ringing was pretty loud in my room).. so I stayed up till like 1a.m. and watched some TV (nothing was on) so I when I was trying to fall a sleep, I thought about what I should have brought with me if this happens again (fire drill).. I should have gotten my wallet and everything else that is important.. neways.. I went back to bed and at 1:14a.m. it happened again. The fire alarm goes off again. So I got my robe back on, got my K Badge, Keys, Passport with Travel Orders and my PDA! =) Figured that I would bring my PDA this time, since I have lots of important numbers in there.. So.. I went outside and no one was out there till like 2 minutes later.. Fire Department was out there and they gave us the all clear.. seemed like the same thing happened as it did earlier (wiring issue).. So I went back inside and just sat there and waited for the fire alarm to go off again.. It didn't.. I was happy but had a hard time falling back a sleep.. So here I am.. Dazed.. I'm SOOO tired.. I'm gonna crash early tonight.. I wish I could go to sleep right now.. but.. yeah figured that the guys here wouldn't really like it if I just crashed on my desk.. Neways.... it was an eventful night..
Well.. I'm sure I got other stuff to talk about.. but I really can't think straight right now.. cause I'm so sleepy.. so.. hope everyone has a great weekend.. I'll post more once I get some more sleep... *yawns*

24 Days and Counting
Almost there!!!! Can't wait to get off this island and see my sweetie!! Love you, David!
Well, this past week has been real interesting.. I've noticed that my tolerance level has went south.. Even more south than it was before. This is because of the fact that another co-worker (which I'm not too fond of) pretty much acted and sent an email to all the MGMT here in IT, that I didn't know a damm thing about the issue at hand.. which I knew what was going on and how to resolve it, but I guess he didn't understand me or something.. Bah.. Just kinda pisses me off, that people look at the helpdesk as a bunch of lazy people that don't know anything about IT. Well, guess what!! I can do a hellva lot more than just take calls!! Grr.. Just makes me angry all over again.. This week, I really wanted to say "Screw It! I've been here a year, my packout is covered, just have to pay for an airline ticket.. I'm outta here." As you can see. I'm still out here and no.. I haven't bought myself a ticket, though.. I was real close to doing that and getting my UAH job back or even going to Bechtel (a partner of KRS).. but.. I talked to David and he told me to hang in there until July so we can talk about what's going on here and stuffs.. So, we'll see.. I can hang in there for 24 more days. :)
Other than work pissing me off, life has been going. On Saturday, Cowboy and Ricky went fishing (which I was invitied, but I, of course, had to work, but should have taken off) and they caught themseleves a Marlin (about 100 lbs or so (a baby Marlin)) and a chest full of Ahi. I had a call from Cowboy at the marina on Saturday afternoon saying "Got a minute to come down the the Marina?" I said "Oh man, what did you guys catch?" and sure enough, I made it down there in 30 seconds flat and they caught a Marlin.. Lucky Dog!!!! Did I mention that they were only out on the water for like 2 1/2 hours? Crazy huh.. I'm jealous.. I'll admit it..
Saturday evening, we all met up and ate dinner together (Me, Annette, Angie, CB, Lexy, Stacy, Ricky, Angie's Mom and anyone else I may be forgetting). It was fun getting together with everyone and chit chatting. Afterwards we went to the club and I had fun, though, not many people there.. I guess it's because everyone is on vacation or PCS'd (permenant change of station)...
I didn't do a whole lot over the weekend, just relaxed and started cleaning my room (I like a clean room before I leave on vacation.. and when I say clean.. I mean, everything is clean!!) I started dusting and re-arranging some stuffs. I got rid of quite a bit of papers that I don't need, vacuumed the floor.. All I got left is my two closets, the bathroom and that's it.. I gotta do laundry tonight, so that's my big task for tonight.. I may possibly start on the closets tonight, but I have a scuba club meeting at 7p.m. I still got some time before I leave on vacation, but I like starting things early and when I come back home, I dont have to worry about anything, and everything is in it's spot and I can relax after the 8+ hour airplane ride from Hono.
I dont have much plans for the rest of the week..Just kinda hanging out and cleaning. I've been watching the series Monk. It's such a great show! David had bought me the box set of Seasons 1-4 and I'm just now getting to watch the epsoides. I really enjoy them! Thanks sweetie.
Well, I guess that's it for now.. Figured that I would post.. Hope everyone is doing well...

32 Days and counting..
Hello All:
32 Days and counting until I see David again. Can't wait to see him! After David and I meet up in TX for a couple of days, we'll be heading to HSV for 3-4 days to see my family and friends, then we're off to Seattle. We're gonna be busy when we're back in the states, but at least we'll have some time with each other and get to take it easy (alittle bit) while we are on vacation. David and I have been chit-chatting on the phone quite a bit recently and we've been emailing each other.. We both can't wait till July 7th, when we see each other.. I just can't wait!
Onto other news.. I'm still sick.. I'll be going back to the Dr's office and seeing if I can get the "feel good" shot.. I had gotten this shot about a year ago before I came out here because I had the same thing when I went diving back home.. And the feel good shot, made me feel so much better about 30 minutes afterwards.. so yeah.. the medicine that they got me on, I think is working, though it's pretty slow and I'm tired of not being able to hear clearly out of my ears.. So yeah.. I got an appointment for Saturday to see them.. I'm giving my medicine 10 days to work.. since the Dr. told me to wait till the 10 day mark before I go back.. So.. Saturday will be 10 days.
Since I've been back at work, it's been ok.. Just trying to focus on going on vacation and how happy I'll be.. Work.. um. one word. POLITICS.. Yeah.. it's driving me crazy.. grr.. grr to that!
Anyways.. really dont want to get started on work..
My birthday was back on June 1st. I got some pretty cool stuffs for my birthday.. the one thing that I'm proud of is the fishing rod that I got from Cowboy! Thanks again CB!!! I just love it! Can't wait to start using it once my ears stop being a biotch!! =) I got a couple of giftcards, free movie rentals and some good smell stuffs. Thanks for everything guys!
Well, my 1 year anniversary is coming up in more ways than one. First one is that on June 8th, will be my 1 year anniversary here on Kwaj. I actually left HSV on the 8th and got here on the 10th, but what I understood is that the anniversary starts when you get on the plane from home. So yeah.. I'm happy that I stayed out here.. there has been some difficulites since I've been out here.. The whole.. Dad has a heart-attack after I've been out here for a couple of weeks, both of my dogs die, my uncle died of a heart-attack... I've stuck it through! There have been times where I wanted to say "Screw it!! I'm going home dammit!".. but yeah.. I still have those moments but I'm still here!
Another year anniversary is my dad's heart-attack.. As I said before, I was only out here a couple of weeks when my dad had his heart-attack out there in San Jose, CA.. He's doing alot better.. watching what he's eating, taking medicine and he's stopped smoking.. Which, I am very very proud of him.. Not like he had a choice, but he stopped. Mom also stopped as of the beginning of the year. Which is great!!!
And of course, me and David's 1 year anniversary is coming up in July. July 15th to be exact. Recently, I have been thinking about all the stuff that we've done since being together.. The mobile kitchens, the drama (out here), the vacations that we've been, the smiles, the hugs, the kisses.. Meeting the families, meeting the friends.. I'm very happy that I've met David and that he was interested in me too =) I believe David and I have came a long way in our relationship, though, he's out there in Afghanistan. Can't wait to see what the future brings us. I love you, David! Miss ya too honey!
Well, I think that's about it on the 1 year anniversary's.. Some sadness, some happiness, some confusing.. but we all have to go through this.. it's called LIFE!! Welcome to it!! =)
I think that's about it.. I've been working, trying to feel better, getting the July trip straight, so we know what we're doing and when.. so.. until next time ~Peace~
