Everyday I talk to Felicity. We've known each other for just about 6 years. Time has gone by so fast and we've been through quite a bit with our own personal lives. I miss her lots and hope that I get to see her soon. It's been just a little over a year since I last saw her. Crazy!

Lately, we've been talking on GoogleTalk. Best invention ever! I finally know what's going on with her life day to day, though most of our talks are about how much we hate our jobs. :) HAHA! But it's all good, we understand each other and it's awesome to vent to someone that feels the same way you do.

She is like the bestest friend that you could ever have and I miss her all the time. I wish that we lived closer, though it is a bit better instead of me living in Cal at 3000 miles away, I'm only 1500 miles away in Omaha. Hmmm... I don't have any pictures to add of her and I. I'll look at my pictures at home. :)

Since I don't have children, I like talking about my cats... hahaha. I'm going to become the Cat Lady one day, though they would prob. kill me since my allerigies would get just worse and worse because they would all be indoor cats.

Anyhoo, so I *heart* my cats Bella and Leopold. Actually, Leo is Rick's. But he's finally warmed up to me and since Rick has been gone all week, then he's been mines. They have gotten a little bigger since we got them from the Humane Society. Leo for sure, he's hard to pick up now!!! They lay around and I try to play with them, Bella's too wired for me sometimes, Leo is just so chilll that he never plays. I'll get him to play one day. :)

I *heart* my husband!

I just want my husband to come home. I get to clean house today to make sure that he comes home to a clean place. I can't wait to see him!!

Hmmm.... I wonder if he got me anything from England.... hehe!

Okay, I decided to write about the house again. Maybe it will get me out of this funk.

<----- (House)

So yesterday we had the inspection on the house done. It turned out that all it needs is foundation help on the kitchen side, some plumbing help, electrical wiring changed and that's about it.

SO.... that makes me wonder about what we should do. It's in a WAY better shape than the other house that we looked at. So that's good. But do we want to put money into it, turning out to be a MONEY PIT??

There's another house that we looked at, that's just up the street and even though it's smaller, it's foundation looked good, from what Rick could tell, newer appliences and it's got 2 FULL bathrooms, so that's a plus. Newer washer and dryer too. So it's a toss up. Rick's decision. I talked to him last night about it all and just kind of left it up to him to decide.

I personally wouldn't mind the smaller house with the newer stuff and that would mean not worrying about things too much for a couple of years, instead of worrying all the time about when the wiring will go nuts and make a fire or the plumbing just die on us all of a sudden. It's scary to think about that stuff. That means we would definatly put off the baby making for even longer, just because it is only 2 bedrooms, while the house that we put a bid on is 4 bedrooms. I don't mind that since we've already made our decision on all of that. We would wait for 5 years. But there could always be the OOPS! baby. You never know. I've been on the pill for like 7-8 years so I'm almost positive it won't happen, just never know though. Anyway, back to the house. Again, I left it up to Rick to decide. And since he's in England, I'll just have e-mail and maybe a phone to see what's going on with all of that.

He called me last night. It made me so happy!!! He's so tired though. And this morning I got a message from him. I can't wait to see him. I has been since Jan. that we have been a part for more than day. So it's bumming me out. We'll see how I do when he gets deployed :0/

Ending on a good note... It's almost lunch time so I'll get to eat my PB&J unless... I go across the street to eat a QUESADILLA!! HMMMM....

STUPID PIECE OF CRAP BLOG STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO I had a great blog that I wrote up about the house and me venting about the house and the stressful feelings I have from it. STUPID BLOG THING decides that it doesn't want to work for a while and so I lose my blog. It was great and now I am in a even worst mood than when I got to work.

This week, my hubby is gone. He was told on Thursday that he would be leaving for England for a week on Monday.He left yesterday. That's awesome, cause he gets to do his last 2 flights of training, and if (he WILL) passes, then we will finally be out of trianing status and really doing his job. That also means that he will prob. be deployed in November. That's okay. I wish it wasn't in Winter that would be leaving, just cause it's like the most I would want him here to keep me warm!

While in England, he's just going to be hanging out til they leave on Friday. Hopefully they will leave on Friday, there's always the possibility of the plane not working and he would have to stay longer. But I will pray for that not to happen.

The military are trying to keep the deployments a short time period, like 2 months instead of 3. That would be so awesome if they would do that!! But who knows... They might just change it to longer... depends on how big the next group of students are.

I better get back to work on my boredum. Maybe I'll write about the house later today or tomorrow.

P.S.When I write a new blog, it's usually because I am bored at work, at my last straw of sanity.Haha. It happens quite often. But I also don't have a lot going on on. It's a toss up....

I was just looking outside; it rained last night and it's still a bit dreary looking. But I personally like that here in Omaha. It reminds me of the days in Monterey when we would be fogged in every single freaking day and made me depressed. Okay, maybe that's not the most cheerful reminder of Monterey. Last time I went home to California, the weather was beautiful. It was perfect. Even Monterey! Usually it's chilly and foggy, but the days that I was there, it was not windy, the ocean was still and it was perfectly sunny. Rick hates California. He says it's too perfect, and now I totally agree with him on that. Haha, I don't hate it though, it just makes me appreciate it more more while I am here in Omaha.

San Francisco was also beautiful, which is rare since if you've been there, you know how the fog creeps in quickly and it's always windy and very chilly even with the sun out.

I know for a fact that I will be here until 2010. That's fine with me. After that, it's mostly Rick's decision on what he wants to do with his life. I'm along for the ride... and it's a great adventure so far.

I have a friend, he's name is Ed. But I call him Zynda, that's his last name. But that's how I was introduced to him. Anyways, he has a digital camera. I love playing with it when we are going out to the bars or dinner. I constantly take pictures of myself or Rick and I or Zynda making funny faces. Zynda is a really cool friend. And he makes great food, he invites us for dinner almost every week and he makes food ribs or chicken or something out of Italian cookbook and then we watch movies.

Rick and I need to get a new camera. So here are some of the pictures that I have taken of me and Rick and me and Zynda. I'll put some up later with my funny faces. :)

Okay, again, I'm at work bored. BORED!! What's new? That's what I hate about my job, there is hardly any change. I wish that I at least would be able to work on projects or something.

I want to be home with my kitties. I *heart* Bella. She's the one on the bottom picture. I hate that I'm not at home playing with her. I guess this is a similar feeling that you get when you have a child or 2. That will be weird. Our other cat Leopold is very independent. But when he gets snuggly, he will melt your heart. He's so sweet and will meow at you until you finally pet him and he will be happy with a little scratch under his chin. He loves laying down in the tub and the sink. One of these days, Rick said he will accidentally will turn the water on while trying to get out. That would be funny and sad. I *heart* Leopold. Haha, Rick thought of that name, I think it's awesome.

Okay, nothing else going on. Bored...

I just wanted to say that I am so BORED at work. Everyday, I count down until 4:30 in the afternoon. I feel sometimes like I'm in the show The Office, the receptionist on the show. BORING!!!!!!!!

So I'm at work right now, totally bummed we didn't get the house. Of course, we didn't get it for very good reasons, mainly the house being a piece of crap, but that means we have to start the searching process ALL OVER AGAIN. How do people do this? It's so stressful and hard and really really bumming. I hope we can keep our apt. for a couple of more months.... at least another month...

It's dreary outside. I know it's warm, I just stepped outside, humid and overcast. But it looks just like Monterey does during the June Gloom. The weather is so different here. When it's hot, it's HOT! I don't do anything during those days, just stay home until the evening comes and it's cooled down a little bit. Then I head out if it's the weekend, or just stay inside because by that time it's almost time to go to bed on the weekdays.

When I went to go visit my mom last month, I realized how spoiled I was in California with the weather. Everyday is perfect there. Or at least it was the week I was there. Hmmm... I miss home. I miss Monterey. Omaha is better than it was when I first got here in December last year. I look forward to fall and winter coming. Then I'll write a post 6 months from now about how I am hating the snow or ice or something about the weather here.
