TV Week

So this week has been the season finale week of all our awesome shows, which makes me both happy & sad. Happy because the finales have ROCKED! And sad because there’s gonna be nothing to watch until this fall! So this week we have watched the season finale of Chuck, LOST and then Thursday will be the season finale of The Office. Chuck was the best 2 hrs I have seen this far with the show. I really love John Casey and his grrrr, grunts! I have a new respect for Morgan and the fight scene between Chuck & Shaw… OMG! Amazing!

LOST is bittersweet for me, I get it, I feel some what satisfied but I feel like they have hurried this last season up a little. I liked the way it ended, but I feel sad and I will miss the show. I thought to myself last night, there goes 6 years… I love sawyer too… hes my fave. Hes got the best little snippets in the show! I liked him and Kate together but I understand him and Juliet too.

I also went to best buy yesterday to pick up my copy of Season 2 True Blood on Blu Ray. The hubs and I have started to watch it last night. HBO is doing a special promotion thingy on facebook. You can sign up to win their sweepstakes contest and win 2 free passes to the season 2 finale of True Blood in a movie theater, a sneek peek at season 3 and a meet and greet Q & A with the WHOLE cast!! And guess which lucky duck scored herself those 2 free passes?… Oh yeah baby! ME!!!

Im so freakin excited! I have never won something so cool in all my life… other than the time I was 16 and I won tickets to the English Redding festival in London, mom wouldnt let me go though, I was 16 and it was just too far. :P But this time I am going! It is on June 1st which actually is great because its in Jacksonville and Mr. has his appointment in Pensacola that day so were already 1/2 way to J-ville. Hes looking to get Wed. off so we can drive back that day. The show starts at 11:30 so its gonna be a long night and a long day of driving but I think its WELL worth it!

So that makes for a VERY busy weekend and VERY busy start to next week. My in laws will be coming in on Friday and they are spending memorial day weekend with us. The gremlin is very excited to see her Poppa and Grandma (it has been a while) and we are taking them to NOLA one of the days. Then on Tues. they are driving back and we are headed to Pensacola and meet them later in JAX that night.

The 8th is my doc appt to get my FCC physical done just so they can tell me I am fit to be a daycare provider lol…. silly I know but part of the rules. Yesterday I had my fire training and got to put out a fire with a extinguisher which was actually pretty freakin awesome! In all honesty its not hard, the hardest part is getting the pin out but just yank on it and your fine. ;)

So now what… oh yeah… back to the housework and then my FCC meeting tonight LOL!

Super Awesomely Cool

And this ladies and gents is why I love android…

CANT FREAKIN WAIT for True Blood Season 3 to start!!!

Weekend Recap

Friday was work on the vette day. Ok yeah ALL day. I didn’t work on it, the husband did. For me it was just alot of running back and forth between home and the base auto hobby shop. I did go with some friends and the munchkin up to the Marina on Saturday before her game. I have to say I was pretty disappointed in the game. She played lousey but that’s because it was her usually scheduled nap time, she had no lunch, it was 94 degrees out at 11am and she played with twins that she doesn’t know. She doesn’t know them because their mom NEVER brings them to practice! Yet, somehow she still manages to weasel her way into getting them to play in the games. “The Kick” our official rule book for the league, clearly states that if you don’t come to at least 1 practice a week you don’t get to play in the games. I don’t think its fair that she just shows up and expects her kids to play. She literally shows up, drops them off and then either goes in her car to sit or leaves. At half time her kids were looking for her to give them a drink, and she was no where in site! So yeah its been getting under my skin and pissing me off… I am 2 breaths away from saying something to the soccer league director. I hate to be that way but its unfair :P

Saturday night we also went out with our friends (and their kids) who live down the street. We all went and saw Shrek The Final Chapter which was really cute and the kids loved. My personal fave in all the Shrek movies is puss in boots and in this one hes REALLY fat which is awesome! Reminds me of my old cat Stimpy! LOL

Oh how I miss that cat! LOL He was so awesomely FAT! LOL

Sunday we went to a crawfish boil at one of the civilian instructors that the hubs works with, it was good they had crawfish boil and hot dogs for the kids and finger foods. I know why now they call them “mud bugs” LOL! They look disgusting before they are cooked! Imagine… the cockroach of the sea! LOL!

Then on our way home I spotted this…

That there would be the “World’s Largest Rocking Chair” no, Im not kidding and my first “roadside attraction”… next up, “Worlds biggest ball of twine” !!! LOL!

I AM IRON MAN! (2)

Today ROCKED!!! We saw Iron Man 2 and I gotta say I LOVE Robert Downy Jr. playing this role! He really makes a kick ass Iron Man. I think Mickey Rourke played a great villain, I LOVED seeing War Machine! I liked Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and REALLY hope they do a spin off movie of her. And also cant wait to see how they bring out the Avengers with Samuel L. Jackson! The kiddo loved it too… ever since we’ve watched the movie shes been holding up her fist going, chhkick, chhkick, BOOM! and pretending that a giant ass missile comes out of her fist. She also pretends to fly with her Iron man hands. I just totally love it! That's totally MY girl! No barbies, No my little ponys, no for her its Iron Man!

So I'd like to be a pro

Soccer this year is a giant C-L-U-S-T-E-R—F-U-C-K! I mean the kiddo has fun and plays well with the other kids and even has made a friend or 2 on the team but as far as the organization of the whole program goes, well frankly… it SUCKS! No one knows what time anyone is doing anything, no one looks at the weather forcast so we dont get rained on in the middle of a game or practice. No one knows what time professional photos are scheduled. No one know what were are to be doing at any given time at any given practice or game. The whole thing is a giant shit storm. Her first game was a total disaster… it was scheduled for 10am (an email from her coach told me so the Thurs. prior to the game) we were supposed to have professional pics done before the game started that puts us there at 9am. We show up at 8:45am in the gym because it looks like rain. We sit around until 10:15am trying to figure out where were supposed to be and what were supposed to be doing and finally getting someone to tell us that her photo shoot has been rescheduled to 11am and her game is now at 12pm. At this point Im like WTF!!!! I didnt get a phone call, a email a text or anything letting me know this was going on. I am pissed, no livid, no...pretty much ready to rip someones head off. So Im like well, fuck it… that is too late in the day, we were already here and on time, and Im not waiting around for this bullshit, we’ve got other stuff to do today. And so we up and left. I then decided that Ill take my own professional pics a few days later… and heres the result.

Pretty kick ass if I say so myself.

The Greatest Show on Earth!

The circus was Fan-freakin-tastic! So well worth the money! I haven't been to see the circus in YEARS! And its still as good as when I saw it at 5 years old. I think the hubbs and I were more excited than the munchkin. We got to meet Suzy the baby Elephant and take some pics of her before the show started. I was sweating bullets a little when the trapeze people came out because of what happened the last time I saw the circus…. one of the guys attempted a triple summer salt type thingy without a net and well he didn't catch the bar, so yeah SPLAT and died.
It was horrible and terrifying to watch happen right in front like hundreds of people.
YAY! for everything going ok and without death this time! LOL

Photo Shoot Me

Photo shoot went better than I expected… and the pics turned out pretty freaking awesome if I do say so myself. Its been a while and I had only 1 working umbrella but never the less I got it done without too many shadows.

Free Comic Book Day

Today is free comic book day! The kiddo was totally ROCKED out in her bat girl costume and happy to have seen her “friends” at the comic book store. It was paaaaaaacked when we got there but pretty cool, they were just getting started and I got the chance to browse through Mitch Byrds personal collection of never been seen before work. All in all it was a pretty good event. We also went over to our fav. exotic pet store where I got to hang out with Eli (the baby monkey) on my back. Viv played with a few of the pot belly pigs and we coo’ed over the bats.

A B-Day, A Relay, A Workout, A Sport, A Junkie.

Rock'ish!

Im in a VERY Rock’ish mood tonight

Oh and we have decided on what to name our next child (if its a girl) and no Im not gonna tell you but I will tell you she will be named after a very famous scientist… Can you say Geek! LOL

A Movie Afternoon

Mom and I took the munchkin to see “How to train your dragon” today. It was such a CUTE movie!!! What was even cuter was after it was over, she whispers to me… “Mommy, Can I have a pet dragon?” I just laughed and said she needed to ask daddy. How can you say no to a 4 year old who wants a dragon for a pet! My kid is so awesome!!! Then we went and had some pizza and wings and called it a night ;)

(Thats how I roll tonight)

So just after tomorrow, Im officially on vacation. YES!! Moms taking a few days off which is unexpected good news. The cousins (yes, all of them) are flying in for (everywhere) in the next few days so it should make for a GRAND time! Im doing the last of the laundry (at 10:53pm, even though its against mil. housing rules… I AM a rebel! LOL) and will be packing it all up tomorrow (after Im done gawking around the BX and new Commissary while OD’ing on Sushi with my BFF) and then waking up before the crack of dawn (4:30am) to catch my flight! God I hope the munchkin doesn’t give me a hard time… I will boot her ass out the exit door if I have to (just kidding hehehe!) ;)

Yes I know what your thinking (there’s alot of unnecessary parenthesis lol!)

Slow week, Not so easy...

Its Friday and I can say this… officially. Its been a SLOW week! And Ive been busy! How annoying is that? Funny though, I can’t remember what Ive done. I know I feel exhausted and this weekend is not gonna let up at all. Im just glad I got all the laundry done, which really says nothing at all because Im sure Im gonna have a shit ton to do before leaving on Wednesday. :P

Today was good, yet annoying. I had a play-date kid thingy to go to, it was set up by one of the spouses in squadron. She has a side business of bounce houses and bouncy slides and stuff and she set that up for the kids, which was awesome and ordered us all pizza’s at only 2 bucks a pop. It was all good until the munchkin got a bit overwhelmed. She doesn’t do too good in big crowds, especially big crowds of other kids. So yeah not the most fun when you have a whiney, bratty, clingy kid stuck to you crying and pestering you every 5 seconds. That was the annoying part.

Other than that not too much going on today. Her school progress is going well, we do workbook stuff, flashcards, color, read in English and at least one of these languages; Spanish, French, Japanese, German, or Portuguese everyday. And Tuesday I have started to adopt sign language as another tool in her education. Im definitely flexing my geek muscles. The workbooks usually go over her thinking skills, matching, colors, letters, writing her name, shapes, time, and math. Yes, even math… Ive started her on simple addition and subtraction. And I feel good about it, shes growing and the progress improves with each day. Reading is become effortless shes recognizes simple words like Go, To, At, The…etc. I feel very accomplished when it comes to the amount of time and effort I’m putting in considering the results.

Anyway… up next for tomorrow is a cook out and pool time with friends. Saturday its the squadron “Easter Egg Hunt” and brunch. And Sunday I’ll be cooking for that thing they call Easter lol! Funny how we don’t really celebrate it for its intended purpose but I will still take it as an excuse to cook for the people I like. LOL.

Oh and just one more thing, I wish people would stop randomly asking me to allow them to follow me on twitter, its totally annoying! We have nothing in common! Why would I want to accept you, so you can just lurk about my tweets?!?

A pang of high school

I for got to mention… The other day (Saturday) when we were in Barnes & Nobles. (I was wearing my batman shirt) and this one guy said to his other guy friend. “Dude shes got on a batman shirt”… and they both laughed the other guy said “pffft dork” I felt a pang in my heart from my high school hell days and felt like crying. Im 27 years old and Im still super sensitive about people making fun of me still.
