I know sometimes it seems like I forget about the website, but it's just not so. I check my stats every day, it's just that some days I feel cranky and negative and there's only so many times I can put that out there for you guys. Besides, my mom always told me, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. Maybe on those days instead of posting an entry, I'll just post a cool picture or something. That way I don't get any more nasty e-mails from people asking me why I don't care about them and why haven't I updated my blog. :o) I do care...I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

G'morning kids...Dawn, a new day and the sun is shining. I can't wait until spring! Anyway, rockin' out to some DMB this morning, and "The Space Between" always makes me feel hopeful about my day. Tim and I looked at a gazillion houses, and even though it was exhausting, and messy ( I don't know how many times we spilled Lollicup in my car, but it was a lot! ...and I got dog poo on my shoe! ) We did manage to find some pretty sweet digs. I sure hope we end up somewhere we really love. Work is back with a vengeance and I'm not afraid to say that the man is gettin' me down... Thank God it's almost lunch time...mmmm....lunch......~e

Dana Carvey on what President Bush must have thought before he decided that going into Iraq was beneficial:"Hey!!! what's our oil doing under their sand!?"
Hello everybody, I hope this thursday morning finds you well. We are recovering from exhaustion over here in Air Force land. I'm about ready for my schedule to be back to normal. And barring some minor family drama, my happy go lucky self should be back to life before too long. I miss everyone and I can't wait to get back in the swing of things. I've got more house hunting to do this weekend with Tim, so keep your fingers crossed that we find a great place in a good location with a big tree in the front yard. I really want a tree. :o)
love & peace,

where do we go,
nobody knows
I've gotta say I'm on my way down
god gave me style and gave me grace
god put a smile upon my face.

Well kids, today was a helluva day. I was up at an ungodly hour to train for the inspection that starts on Thursday. We had a crazy morning practicing convoy procedures and learning security. We were all rolling around in the snow taking cover and pretending to fire at the enemy. I don't really think I'd like real war, but play war is a blast. It reminded me of FTX in basic...and it's funny to see full grown men diving into the snow and crawling around. I wish I could have taken some pictures.
Anyway, things are kicking off tomorrow, wish me luck and check back for updates....I'm hoping to get some cool pictures of us all pretending we're Rambo.
peace and love,

I made mistakeseveryone does
don't know why I did
I guess just because
no one gets through to me the way that you do
now I know I'm in love

Whew! What a weekend! Monica and Chris got engaged on Saturday night, so we all met up with them at the Purple Martini. It was crazy...lots of people, lots of fun...Yesterday was kind've a chill day. Tim and I went to Park Meadows and bummed around for a bit. Then we watched Radio. It was good, but I liked it less then Door to Door. Maybe it's because of Cuba Gooding Jr.'s obvious bid for the Oscar by attempting to go the way of Tom Hanks and Sean Penn. It's difficult to forget him dancing around and screaming, "Show me the money!!!" or worse....Anyone remember Snow Dogs? Ah well.....
I am all geared up for what will end up being the busiest couple of weeks that I'll have for a while I'm sure. This ORI looks like it's going to be intense, so don't be disappointed if I don't get the updates made. I'll try to get them done when I can...*sigh* It's getting harder and harder for my heart to be in what I'm doing. I feel like my leadership is struggling to bring home to all of us the importance of what we're doing, but I can't help but feel like the futility of the situation is becoming more and more apparent. Read this....It's a transcript of George W. Bush's Meet The Press interview....
Also, don't forget to register to Vote. This is important stuff people, get educated and make a good decision.

Well kids, today was one of those days where even though it sucks to be at work, I feel good because I got so much accomplished. My desk is all cleaned out and organized, my work orders are up to date and my file plan is cleaned up. Now all I need to do is back-up my hard drives and organize them... :) I'm such a dork....labeling stuff makes me happy.
It's been a busy news day. It looks like Martha Stewart might go to jail, and that's a good thing. :) just kidding, I feel kind of bad for her. It's pretty easy to vilify rich people, but I think they're just as confused and unlucky as the rest of us....Plus I really can't imagine Martha in an orange jumpsuit. She'd be in there teaching all the inmates how to make decorative wall hangings using their socks and bits of soap rope. ;)
As I'm sure most of you have, now that the holidays are over, I've been on a health kick....I relapsed a bit during the exercise. Well, you try working for 12 hours straight and eating healthy...I'm telling you at 3 am the only food that sounds good is grilled cheese and chicken nuggets. mmm....nuggets. They don't have low fat versions of those... :( But the good news is, that I can still have Lollicup! *scampers off to get a Thai tea*

I am consistently amazed at the bonds that I have developed with people who live far away. For example, my best friend in the whole wide world, Echo, is currently residing in Belgium with her husband. That's a long way away and our lives couldn't be more different, but she's home in Oregon visiting her family right now, so I have gotten to chat with her a bit this week, which has been wonderful. I love how even when we don't get to talk that often, we can just pick up right where we left off. She's so smart and kind...I'm very lucky to know her. And then there's Daniel, who even though I haven't seen him in almost a year, still takes time to e-mail me random haiku's about crazy stuff and generally just entertains with random-nocity (as Tiffany calls it). I hope someday that I have enough money that I can get everyone I love all in the same room again... Luckily, Jessie will be home on her mid-tour furlough from Korea next month, and Sarah is coming down to visit soon too. Next month will be a nice change from this hellaciousness that's about to take off here. If you think about it, send me strong and happy thoughts, cause I'm going to need them...starting Feb. 11th I'll be working nights, 12 hour shifts for 9 days straight. poo. :( Oh well, such is the life...
love and peace,

It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world that we live in....between the demise of Bennifer, Janet's breast, (Does anyone even know who won the Superbowl??) and the President admitting that the reasons he gave us for going to war in Iraq might have been blown out of proportion a bit, it's been an interesting and eventful weekend. If there is one thing to be said about the media, they leave no stones unturned, although I might take issue with the priority given to celebrity gossip as opposed to more serious goings on....Now don't get me wrong, I love a good tabloid story as much as the next celebrity junkie, but I definitely think that Janet's boob is less important than say....the presence of troops in Iraq etc. Oh well, at least Janet and Justin are doing their part, changing the world, one nipple at a time...
