Here's to you, My Love

When my kids ask how some joe smo like me managed to snag a fox like they're mother, I suppose some part of that conversation has to bring up the night we went topless.

I was bragging about driving home from work topless for what seemed like 2 months, and the only one that would actually listen to me was the baker.  We worked together and she seemed to be the only one that listened. I believe Teresa got sick of me talking about my mustang every day, because one day she “volun-Told” me to ask Ashelyn out for a drive; she noted that Ashelyn typically stays home and would love some adventure.

I don’t what I said, or how many times I asked, but I do know she said she would go on a drive with me. I spent the afternoon after work trying to clean up and look descent, but not too pathetic (I cry a little bit when I go to Tyler’s room, there is clean, then there is I-am-a-serial-killer clean).

I remember waiting forever while she did "Stuff." I secretly thought it was her way of telling me she wasn't interested, but I persisted.  Finally I was able to pick her up at the gym near my house, because I wasn't cool enough to put the charms are her family...yet. We drove around the city and I kept thinking to myself  "Self, when is this drive too long?" I was worried that all she would say about our adventure was that I was indecisive with the radio and it lasted too long. When I dropped her off, We hugged good bye and went our separate ways.

Whatever I did, I did correctly because we had several topless trip in my car, a drive to Wendover, some movie experiences and of course, cooking at home. We are now looking toward our first child being born and a whole lot of "Firsts" As for the "First Year" I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Here's you My Love and to the many more Adventures throughout our life Ashelyn!!

Pathetic

Its been about a month when I realized that you can get badges for reading new articles from Google News. All you gotta do is log in, click news section and start reading. Google keeps track of what subject you read and how many articles, and compares that to the general public. When you read about 2 times more articles than most Google readers, you get your first badge. The benefits is that you can look on the side and see what subjects you read, and well, read more of them.



This is my News profile, I have Platinum Badges in Mobile Industry and Nokia. This means I have read 6 times the amount of Mobile Industry articles than the common public, as well as Nokia. This is pathetic, but isn't so me? Some people our shrugging their shoulders and saying "ya so?" Its just weird to see the quanification of your interests... Oh, well more is definitely to follow (I'm looking at you Space subject)

Friends

Today I was trying so hard to be positive and just be happy, which is hard when you have a busy job in a small area.

And then I recieved a present. My bunkmate gets to go to the docks frequently, and while he is there he gets to enjoy some Kuwaiti socializing. He found some HUMMUS!!!! Dropped it it off and told me not to kill anyone. I laughed out loud (LOL'd) because I was close to doing so.

I'm grateful for those people who keep me sane on this earth, speaking of, one in peticular just Skyped me... thats my cue to say adieu!!

Update

It was brought to my attention that I haven't written in my blog. I keep telling people that I don't leave an exotic life, and things have settled down.  I could tell you how my colleague  has been out for the last ## days counting ummm “Widgets” and that I’ve been working everyday doing this and that. 

There is at least one highlight of the week:  When I started, the army provided a generic pair of Asics that I have ran all of BCT with, I took them to AIT where I replace the insoles twice (back then was the good ole days when the instructors said ‘run’ and an hour later said ‘you’re done get ready for school.’) I even had them when I started this little journey I am on, I ran with these things. Every day when I get off the track and my shins feel like someone took a baseball bat to them. Every time I think to myself “Self, you need a new pair of shoes.” Longest story short, I bought some nice black Adidas, they are lighter than my last pair, and don’t give me those nasty shattered leg feeling. Definitely one of my better investments.
