sigh back from the AZ again. i was in the air above los angeles, watching all the lights of the traffic and i missed the slow pave of arizona. bleh.

jillie gave me this link http://www.squidoo.com/esti-chc-page/ to donate to the covenant house. it actually lists things that they can use there in oakland... you'll know what is going where. thanks.

OMG. the new weird al song is so fucking funny... i just remembered that paul told me about it a while ago and i finally looked it up on myspace thanks to wierd al having a front page splash on yahoo. now its on my myspace! unfortunately... i identify with most of the songs. greeeat.

my yahoo time capsule submission got picked!

click here to veiw it.

i am so excited! i am even more excited to think about reading the submission again when it its reopened!

(the time capsule will be locked on 11/08/2006 and the above link will be broken)

so i havne't blogged in a while and here is what i've been thinking...

lately i've been more content with life than ever. of course there could be improvements. i wish paul was here of course, but i also think of the future. i think about this sacrifice we make now and what will hold for us when he is out of the army and then i am happy with the current situation. overall i love how i am feeling. i love becoming healthy. i've dropped 20 pounds without feeling like i've been dieting (but i AM dieting because i've changed my diet and there are things i won't eat much of but i don't feel like it at all!). i go to the gym now because i want to. its sort of dagerous because i am so tired at the end of the week... but i go anyway. i love being a little sore. i feel like i'm accomplished something when i am a little sore. i love going to work. its tiring but its totally worth it when kids ask me why i was gone or why i am only staying for one day. when i hear the kids say that they want me to be at their school as a permanent staff it makes my day.

i love life.

let me share my good karma with all of you.

DOH 2 weeks since my last post. nothing has changed except that i miss my hubby more everyday. i miss him so much. i guess while he was at basic i was sort of zombied out... also he wasn't able to call me... i guess now since i can talk to him, when i do, i realize how close and far he is. another news... he maybe moved to korea on a hardship tour after his traning. this is not in cement yet since he has not received his orders. whatever may happen i am ready for it...
