Leap Day

I've decided to start a time diary.

And maybe even a blog for my preschoolers.

Time to face the day though.... I might need some chocolate to ensure my sanity.

Happy Dance, goofy smile

:)

I am so excited.

I am perfectly giddy sometimes.

If at some point during the day I get a look on my face of pure bliss, like I smell cupcakes and flowers and smile like I've got the biggest secret, know that it's for this:

My boyfriend is coming home this weekend!

Yes, he's coming home and I want to do a happy dance right now!

I'm praying all goes well.... I havent seen him in 3 months!

I know he always uses his time off to come home instead of taking adventures, so I'm gonna make sure this is a staycation he won't forget!

I'm off to plan...

Alex
Greek · Male or Female
Form of Alexander.

Helper and defender of mankind.

My boyfriend Alex is a man that is an embodiment of his name. Not just because he is a proud Marine; he has shown his instinct to protect and defend in his thoughts and actions in life before he became a Marine. He believes in the good of people. And I love that about him.

Babe, I love that you have the best intentions.

I love that you treat others well, without having malice in your heart.

I will always be in your corner.

Doubt thou the stars are fire,
Doubt that the sun doth move,
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love.

~ William Shakespeare

All I want for New Years .. Is you ( if you're Alex)

My boyfriend got me an iPad 2 for Christmas!!!!! In white! He knows me too well.
My white HP dv14 (aka my fake Mac) hates me now .... But I'll need to watch DVDs sometime... :-/

I got him a .....

He doesn't know yet so why should you?

Anyway, I decided to video blog this year!

Yay.

christmas? humbug.

It feels like someone stole my Christmas cheer.

Someone green-eyed with jealousy stole something I bought for myself. And while it was $15 it was a lot to me. I work hard and I've bought gifts for almost everyone else. I really need this to be a good Christmas because it feels like I just can't shake the bad things that has happened to me.

It's only hurting me to dwell on it but I just can't shake it. I went to sleep and now woke up thinking about it. It just makes me feel like what's the point? Whats the point of scraping and saving to the point of not eating just to have someone steal from you within 5 minutes of you finally treating yourself?

I have 5 more gifts to get.... but I really don't feel like spending my money. So most likely they will be handmade with a hope that they will be appreciated. If not then whatever.

The grinch stole my Christmas ... I wish I could hand-make it back.

Lineage of Grace

This week I started reading Lineage of Grace by Francine Rivers.

I already feel a connection to this book, and I'm not even past the first chapter. Perhaps it is only my expectations, but I feel this book will tell me more about God and how to be a woman of God.

I'm excited.

It's been a good day.

My hubby called :)

My sisters are hanging in my room

And now my potato boy is sleeping next to me.

Snip, Snip

I finally cut a negative someone out of my life, and it showed me that I had good reason to. However in a weird twist of events, her seemingly mild-mannered friend was the "hype" one... Honestly she sounded so hood! I really had to stop her and asked her if it was really her. She then pounded out her name, and high school and all that ... yup, hood.

I guess they rub off on each other.

Not sure if they're out of my life for good though, but as long as they're not trying to communicate with me as if we're buds I can deal.

All in all, I'd rather have 5 solid good friends than a few extra backstabbers.
