Turkish dancing is just a bunch of snapping and kicking… So, I flew to Oregon this weekend to surprise my Best friend. She was getting married and because of my deployment schedule I wasn’t going to be able to go to the wedding. I found out at the last minute that they had switched my window to November, so I bought a ticket and flew in to Portland Friday night and surprised her at her bachelorette dinner. It was awesome, she cried, I cried, we all cried. ;-) The wedding was the next day and we spent the whole day getting ready, I got my hair curled and we worked on vases for the tables and our bouquets….it was a really simple outdoor wedding with her husbands Turkish relatives adding that Mediterranean flava. ;-) <http://www.goodtimescheck.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1030> I posted some pics at this addy, so you can check them out if you want. It was an amazing wedding and I’m so glad I got to go. ~e

There was some tomfoolery and some shenanigans as well…… Ok, so this weekend was a BLAST! The summer solstice party went off with out a hitch and I think it’s pretty safe to say that all who attended had a great time. There was food, drinks, wine, women, and song. I got totally shit faced and got sick at the end of the night. That’s how you know it was a really good party. At some point I was running my mouth to one of the man’s friends and I’m pretty sure he thinks I’m nuts now. But dammit, I was drunk and I just refuse to apologize for being drunk. ;-) I just had so much fun though. The girls’ house was huge and really nice and everything was just perfect. Of course that means I spent most of yesterday laying around recovering. I feel pretty good today, although I could use a big tall chai latte. Seriously, if ya’ll could get me one, I’d be most appreciative… ;-) ~e

My Stupid Mouth…. Has got me in trouble. Well, not trouble. But I’m a terrible liar, and I can’t keep secrets for shit. Even my own. :-/ So last night I admitted that I keep this blurty and that I write about really personal stuff in it, only because I know that the only people that read it are me, Tiff, Alesha and a few other girlfriends who are stationed all over the place. But I told the man that I wrote about him in it. Why? Cause I am a dumb ass. Or is it D-U-M-A-S-S? ;-)So, ok….what have we learned today? I’m a blabber-mouth. Honesty is best. Don’t eat the last piece of chicken in the Pad Thai. And Listerine is better for your mouth than Scope even though it tastes like crap. ~e

Worse off without me... There is something supremely satisfying about hearing that your ex-boyfriend really is worse off without you. Not that I wish bad things to happen to him or that he would be unlucky in love….but that really truly, he lost out on a good thing. And that my friend is closure. Today was sooooo busy. I got tons of work done, which always makes for a good day…cause then I feel like I’ve earned some ice cream or a good Simpson’s episode. I had some thoughts last night about writing. Which I haven’t done that much of lately….Of course I’ve got this, and I write the occasional song or poem, but not like I used to. I used to write stories all the time and I got the urge to start writing my story….Not an autobiography or anything, but just about my youthful forays into love and all that jazz. I think it would be funny….. So, maybe I’ll start… next week. ;-) ~e

Manicures and Wilderness Survival… Two totally unrelated subjects? Not according to some people. I am supremely convinced that I could probably handle any amount of unpleasantness that nature could dish out, regardless of whether or not I have a French manicure. As a member of the military, I’ve been known to operate fully without the aid of any styling products….Shocking? Yes. Then why do people insist that I’m just a wussy helpless girl? Because they are dumb. Ok, enough venting about that… I had a fabulous weekend. Cooked dinner for the man-person on Friday. Lasagna….mmm and it was good. Still eating off that one. We watched a movie and basically just chilled out at home. It was very nice. Saturday brought a trip to Opal for the famed opal roll. A extremely delicious combination of Unagi, rice, nori, avocado, strawberries and sesame sauce….those guys are unbelievable. The sake was flowing….and special thanks to our personal sushi Chef, Mitsu for playing along with Tiffany’s walrus impression and sharing the famed “seaweed smile”. An education trip to our local “sensual superstore” introduced us to the sex swing and furry ass paddles. A good time was had by all. ;-) Sunday was mellow with a late breakfast with the man-person and a short stroll at Cherry Creek. (it’s not just a snobby part of town, it’s an actual creek!) A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG afternoon nap, which was interrupted by Tiffany’s request for a repeat showing of Finding Nemo with her new friends that she picked up at Appleby’s. Nice boys, but I wouldn’t want to live there. All in all it was a good weekend….and now the week of hell has begun…. Lord Vader returns from TDY on Wednesday….. *sigh* All good things must come to an end. ~e

Groovin... I had the best time last night....I went to Red Rocks and saw Coldplay. Hands down best show I've seen in... I don't know how long...Chris Martin is such a great stage performer...and it was just an amazing night, good dinner with good people followed by a brilliant show at a beautiful venue. Totally the perfect kick-off to my summer. :-) I’m so happy right now…even all the bullshit at work can’t keep me from feeling very content. I’m talking to this amazing guy and I’m looking forward to spending a kick-ass summer having fun here in the Rockies. The impending deployment looms, but it’s not as scary as leaving nothing behind. I have something, someone to come back to and that makes all the difference. The only thing bugging me right now is my damn arm. This anthrax shot hurts so bad….I tried to ignore it last night at the show, but this morning it’s even worse…I can feel my heartbeat in my shoulder, that can’t be good… :-( ~e
