Monday Love

I love you because you take out the trash every time it needs to be taken out. It's the little things. :)

Singed

We lit a candle and placed it on the coffee table. Jasmine walked by and paused with her tail in front of it. I pushed her along with my foot and told her to be careful or she'll burn her tail.

She plops down about 2 feet away. 30 seconds later Steve and I smell burned fur, look at each other, then at her and she starts smelling the air towards her butt.

Her expression was so funny, we both burst out laughing. I still don't think she knows she singed her tail.

Dreams

I had the weirdest dreams last night.

1. My cousin Justina read my blog.

2. The toenail on my big toe could detach from my skin like a door with hinges. I freaked out and tried wrapping a bandaid around it in the hopes of it reattaching completely over time.

No idea where either of those came from.

Another waiting game

My husband is leaving me in 34 days. Some days I want to just ship him off already - sometimes because he's really getting on my nerves, but mostly I just want to figure out my new routine and get it over with. We do everything together and I do mean everything. It's going to be super lonely and I'm a little afraid I might get depressed. I get along great with everyone at work, but they all have their own lives. And so, I'm very grateful to have a job and work 5 days per week. I may never leave home otherwise.

He leaves March 22nd. My sister will arrive the first week of April for a few days. I'll really need her! And then at the end of May... I'll go see him for his graduation. I'm so excited my daddy will be there, too! I would get lost in San Antonio without him, but I really miss him! It's just a bunch of waiting games ahead.

I HATE waiting games.

Waiting for Steve to leave
Waiting for my sister to arrive
Waiting to see my daddy
Waiting to see Steve again
Waiting to find out where we're moving
Waiting for Steve to come home in July.

Too much waiting!

Tuesday Love

I know I'm late, but hey it's Valentine's day so it is the perfect time! I love you for agreeing to see The Vow with me. I love you even more for actually truly enjoying it.

Thanks for letting me get expensive popcorn too!

Channing Tatum is your mancrush. I think he's a good choice. :)

Unbreakable

http://projectunbreakable.tumblr.com

It's a photography project started in the fall by a nineteen year old college student. It's similar to post secret, but this is specifically for victims of sexual abuse, sexual assault, rape, etc.

I think it's an amazing project to get people talking, but more importantly, to start healing. I'm excited to see where it goes and how many people it helps.

Just a warning, it can be hard to read, but I'm proud of all the men and women taking part in it.

Adult Choices.

This is Steve again.

So I've finally made my choices as to whom I want to come to my BMT graduation. Somebody is upset because I didn't invite a person that they wanted me to invite. Well guess what? Too bad! Sorry to be so cold but that's how it plays out. The person they want invited is nothing more to me than an acquaintance who brought very bad people into our lives and then somehow Jessica got blamed for it.

I believe I made a post previously about actions and reactions. I fully understand the potential consequences of my choice. But damn it it's my choice to make, for my reasons. Somehow there are still people out there who think I am not allowed to have opinions or make choices. Like I haven't earned the right to make them yet. As if I didn't vote for a President, as if I haven't independent for years now, as if I haven't given the oath to risk my life for this country.

All I can say is it's high time that i'm recognized as an adult. I will not be pushed around by family any more.

That is all.

We were counting on using our tax return to buy my plane ticket to go to Texas for Steve's basic graduation. We've always gotten money back. Almost $700 last year and around that every year before... this year... we made too much money together, and we owe $200. It seems to me, they already took too much. So I'm slightly upset, and WAY stressed now.

I'll be fine with rent, and all of our other bills while he is gone, I just don't know how I'm going to do this plane ticket on my own. I'm damn determined though. As an absolute last resort, I'll ask my dad to help but I'm basically refusing to go that route. And so every single penny is going to be like gold around here for the next 3 or so months.

Not only does our extra money for the month of February go to paying taxes, but my tail pipe magically fell off my muffler. I know within what 48 hour period it was, I just don't know where or how. It scared the crap out of me that my car was suddenly so loud, I was afraid it was going to blow up or something haha. Then a few days later I noticed what was so off about the back of my car. No tail pipe peeking out.

I'm pretty sure I can do it though. April alone looks like this in savings:

$200 saved from cancelling medical insurance through my work
$100 saved from not buying gas for Steve's car
$150-$200 saved from my grocery bill being cut in half
Other small various things too

That right there covers the cost of the plane ticket. I plan on buying it the first week of May since he'll be graduating at the end of May. Then I'm hoping to either stay with my aunt that lives there, or in the hotel with my dad.

Basically.... as long as NOTHING goes wrong... I can do it. I'm stressed because SOMETHING always goes wrong. Like, how does a tail pipe fall off?
