Goodbye October

Friday, October 31st, 2008

So um yeah, it’s October 31st. That means tomorrow I’m supposed to start blogging everyday for a month. I think I’m destined to fail here. I really do.

October 31st means November tomorrow. November means December 1st is right around the corner. We’re at 31 days today. On November 30th I will be sleeping in a hotel room to pick my love up the next day. It’s exciting.

What is everyone doing today? I’m being lazy. I’ve never really been into halloween and my head hurts. I’ll probably do some work online and watch TV. Then pass out tonight and hopefully sleep for awhile. I tossed and turned all last night. My dogs have decided they own the bed. Fat lazy things.


Is it Black friday yet?

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Well since it’s after midnight I’m down to a month and 2 days until his homecoming. So far yet close at the same time. Sorry for the excessive posts about this but until he comes home, aka 33 days, you’re going to hear it. My life has been pretty dull without working though. I’ve been doing my online stuff as always and chilling out around the house. It’s actually snowing out right now so I’m glad that I’m nice and cozy in my bedroom.

I’m really working on making money so that when we go to the mall next month I can buy some nice things, I really want to look into tea light candles and such. I also want to get some new lotions and body sprays as well. I’ll probably avoid the clothing stores since their appeal is minimal. I’m excited for Black Friday too, I wonder what sale they’ll have. I got my monitor for only $168 which now goes for over $225 so it was well worth it. I also like the excitement of the crowd and stuff since I do only do it once a year of course.

Talk about a slump

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

I had my very last visit today and I was a drag the whole time. I am so over the guards, the metal detectors, the paperwork, the security, and being watched like a hawk. I was depressed and I couldn’t shut everyone out like I usually do. I guess it’s a good thing today was the very last visit.

It doesn’t change the fact that I couldn’t even wave goodbye to him though, I was too busy trying to fight off tears as I had to, for the very last time, turn around and walk away from him. I’m waiting for him to call me and then I’m going to curl up in bed and try to disappear into my dreams for a bit.

*sigh* 35 days to go. That’s all I can keep telling myself. I have a reason to think though, that this last month, is going to be harder than all of the others.

I feel happy oh so happy

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

I’ve been an optimistic little beaver lately if I do say so myself. I’ve been doing my work on ChaCha along with occasionally getting stuff done around the house in my room. My attitude has also been very positive lately and I’m looking forward to Sunday SO much right now. Excited = me. It’s been almost 2 months since I’ve even gotten a hug. I’m glad this next stretch will only be for 35 days, aka 5 weeks. No more of this 8-9 week crap again thank you very much. Life has been going well.

Time has been flying by and I’m getting anxious for his homecoming but so nervous as the same time. It’s going to be odd to just be intimite with someone again after so long. I’m used to being independent and doing everything alone. I just hope we can both readjust. Who am I kidding? I know we will, after everything we’ve been through we might as well start looking into wedding favors because in June, come hell or high water, I will be walking down the aisle and become Amanda Marie Rumble. :)

I’m a part time full time payment WAH…. person

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Well, I don’t know how successful I’m going to be next month. I seem to let my blog slip entirely too often. Ah well, such is life. I’m going to be heading to bed here shortly but decided to make a quick update first. Time has been flying by lately and I absolutely love it.

I get to visit Randy in 4 days and a wake up and since it’s been almost 2 months I am just now beginning to get SUPER excited. I can’t wait to finally get a hug and kiss. Don’t take them for granted. Once you’re away you know just how important they can be to you. After that he’s got a little over a month until he actually comes home. I can’t believe we’ve survived this. Whew… almost there.

I’ve been kind of blah today physically no thanks to being a female. I have been keeping up on my ChaCha goal though and I’ve made $238 since Wednesday. That’s more money than I was making actually working and I don’t work 8 hours a day, I’ll guarantee you that much. On average I’m probably doing eh… 4 maybe? That isn’t focus only on it either. I do it while watching TV a lot too so I’m quite content with it. I’m definitely glad that I signed up and am doing it as much as I am. My goal, btw, is $33.50/day. That will take me to over $1,000 on the payout date. I also intend on doing all the guaranteed cash contests this weekend if they have them so there’s another boost.

I saw an advertisement today while watching the biggest loser for allie and from reading what it does, um, no thanks. Besides, we all know that taking that is a temporary fix. You will just regain the weight after you stop. Common sense people. USE IT.
