Bit of an update

Gotta love long weekends.......we went to the beach and were lazy all weekend. Nice break after the hectic lives we have.

Went to see Davinci Code.......good movie, I thought it was pretty close to the book.

May get slapped on bedrest, I have to go have another ultrasound to decide finally.

Eunuch will be moving to the area in the next few months, so it'll be fun to meet him in person.

335 days until I am out of the United States Air Force......

That's all for now.

Men and age........

LOL......one of the men I was deployed with was in my office today, and we were chatting about his haircut(this is a semi-joke between us, since he keeps his head shaved completely bald). I had mentioned that I could see his haircolor, and he remarked that it was only brown from a distance, and upon closer inspection, the numerous gray hairs he had would be seen easily. That got us talking about men, women's preferences, and age. This man is 37 years old, rather fit(he works out religiously) and not hard on the eyes. He made the comment that girls don't like men with gray.....we got to talking about it, and I voiced my own opinions(I'd rather havea man than a boy)....


I just thought it was amusing that he was so concerned on this topic.......

A few words on fitness fashion

I have noticed that women in particular have HORRIBLE fashion sense when it comes to fitness wear. Being in the military, we participate in regular fitness formations. And I have observed that many women lose all common sense when it comes to fashion in this area. Granted, the Air Force has authorized(but not yet required us to wear it) a PT uniform. But until it's required(1 October of this year, I believe), most folks will continue to wear their own choices for workout clothes. The advertising in fitness magazines tends to show thin, ideal body-type women(ok, models in reality) in the latest fashions for fitness..........and they are form-fitting items, I admit.

But OMG, if you are female and your beer gut stands out further than the rest of the men in the formation, then you REALLY don't need to be wearing a white, spaghetti strapped tank top that rides up your mid-section when you do jumping jacks(in front of the whole formation, BTW). I know I get grossed out seeing other women's post-baby bulge(and your kid is 9), and I can't imagine what the guys are thinking. Gross, ok.......and the lycra leggings combined with cottage-cheese thighs and butt are NOT the hottest thing in the gym.....or anywhere else. Wear that at home, on Saturday, when no one's watching, and you aren't in public......where it's safe. And please....please...PLEASE don't make the 25 guys you work with do lunges and squats to work their butts because you read it in the latest issue of SHAPE magazine and want to improve your own butt-profile for the summer. Men don't care what their butts look like.

Yes, I am hard on the females about fitness fashion. Being pregnant, there isn't a PT uniform for us preggos.......which is fine by me, one less thing I have to buy. But I am a bit more sensible on the PT wear......I wear maternity shorts or pants(PT variety, of course), and one of Ziggy's t-shirts to cover MiniMachine....and no one says a thing to me......no one is seeing my fat but Ziggy and a doctor and I like it that way.

It just grosses me out.........

School and new baby

Oh good grief, what did I get myself into with school this semester?? I went to my Lab class for Anatomy and I think I asked WAYYY too much of myself this semester. Maybe 2 classes was a bit much. Especially since there's a lab with both classes. I am going to have to study extremely much in order to do well, I know. Lots of memorization......I used to be pretty good at that, but that was long before I had kids, work and a household to take care of. Yea, so you could say that my life has gotten a bit full.....this is going to be a tough semester.

And Ziggy and I found out yesterday that the next baby is a girl!!!

Ziggy's Return

As promised to Eunuch, I fell off the face of the world when Ziggy came home. I didn't even check my email!!!! So I get an email from Eunuch last night asking if I'm coming up for air any time soon......

SO Ziggy has, in fact, returned, and all is now right and good in my world. I just love my husband to death, and I am rather glad he has returned. Our house just isn't quite home without him in it, too.

Today I go and have an ultrasound and see, hopefully, what the sex of MiniMachine is..........think pink!!!!

I'll update later with the news...

Ok, one more, and this one is very telling.....

***Your Job Dissatisfaction Level is 77%***
Your job is a total bummer, and probably the worst job you've ever had.Your co-workers stink. Your boss is a jerk. And your company is probably in trouble.Think about finding a new job quickly, even if it's just a not-so-great transition job.You've got to get out of there as quickly as you can!
Should You Quit Your Job?http://www.blogthings.com/shouldyouquityourjobquiz/

What mixed drink are you?

I got this off Blogthings.com..........seems entertaining.......
You Are a Mai Tai
You aren't a big drinker, but you'll drink if the atmosphere is festive.And when you're drunk, watch out! You're easily carried away.
What Mixed Drink Are You?

Yeah

So I took a week off of leave next week. Got it approved, too. And then this email comes down stating that I have to be in a class called Informed Decision in the middle of next week. It's one of those classes that they bring in people who got out and couldn't get work or anything on the outside, and they whine and moan about how they wish they'd stayed in the Air Force, blah blah blah, and otherwise talk you into staying in. Not that there's any chance that they'll change my mind.......but it's a mandatory thing.

So I called up my acting Shirt, and got out of the class because of the leave, and TheTroll and Stretch won't believe that I have been excused from the class. So without an email to confirm it, they require that I am there, thus cancelling my leave. Yes, this all bothers me. I had scheduled appointments for virtually every day next week, thinking to save myself the hassle of having to get bitched at for leaving work for various appointments. Yea, well, it appears that this is going to get really ugly and nasty, and by my management's own doing, despite my efforts.....

Congrats CrazyGirl!!!

CrazyGirl has become engaged to TheBoy!!!! I just love weddings, or non-weddings in her case.......

Now I must share how Ziggy asked me to marry him......since CrazyGirl was telling how TheBoy asked her over the phone, here's how Ziggy asked me.........

I was over at Ziggy's house on night, and bad memory that I have, I don't recall the date. Anyways, we'd taken a shower, and had gotten out, and I was standing at the sink wearing a lovely dark green towel(very fashionable, huh?) and wet hair, and Ziggy had walked out of the bathroom for something. Anywhoo.....he walks back into the bathroom, and lays this fabulous kiss on me. Ziggy's a great kisser...digressing, ok.......Mid-kiss, he says, "Marry me." I was a bit surprised, but not totally, but of course, said yes...........

CrazyGirl, atleast you got the whole question..........lol

My WTF moment of the year.......

Ah yes, I had a WTF moment to beat all this past weekend. I was floored. This may shock everyone.....

I'm on the phone with my MIL yesterday afternoon, and Scout is on the couch, watching TV. He turns off the TV, and comes into the dining room and asks me if he can go ride his bike. I say yes....I'm still on the phone, mind you. So I get off the phone and go into the living room, plop down on the couch and flip the TV on. What comes on?? Pay Per View porn. I was floored. I scroll through the settings on my TV, and come to find out, this isn't the first time it's on my TV. Yea......I questioned Scout about it, and he said he had no clue.......I'm not so sure it was him, as some of them were ordered when no one was home.........

Yea......

I got this in an email and thought it was good.....

I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the UnitedCaucasianCollege Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door. Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game. I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE? I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off. When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability. I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English! My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours. I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines. I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business. We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations. I don't hate the rich I don't pity the poor. I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them. I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building. It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say "NO!" I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries! I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else.

And if you don't like my point of view, tough..

My own little commentary

Each morning at work, I read the news on CNN.com and MSNBC.com. Some of the things that are considered newsworthy really make me wonder. So I feel compelled to comment on what is currently happening in the world.

Tom Cruise, his new movie, and his fiancee and baby: I'm so tired of hearing about these folks, honestly. And by they way, his new flick is a SEQUEL....and a third installment at that.....so there's only so much that can be done to that character, right???? Think Matrix, folks......people have kids every day, and go right on with work, life, etc. I don't see what makes these two any different.

The Moussaoui verdict.....Guys, our process of legal justice worked. The jurors did their jobs. While I can't say that I agreed that he got what was coming to him, it may be that the jail population may take care of the death penalty for us. Rest assured, the day will come that he is dealt ultimate justice, be it in this life or the next. I can't say that he was an Al-Qaeda operative, given that the organization has said that he wasn't one of theirs, and they considered him kind of a loose cannon. I think he will only be seen as a martyr in his own eyes, and not anyone else's.

Lethal injection being painful....now, if you are supposed to be dealt this particular punishment, it is likely that a heinous crime has been committed, death has occurred, and likely in some vicious manner. So in my mind, the possibility that an execution by lethal injection could be painful is a moot point to me. The person being executed is dying anyways, and in short order, so I'd say that justice is not nearly complete as they aren't feeling what they put someone else through. Bottom line, they're going to die regardless, so let them feel pain to remind them of the life they are losing.

Catholics and condoms.....alright guys, realistically here, how many Catholics have a houseful of kids and keep them coming in quick succession? Fundamentally, I think the case for birth control practices with the Catholic church is a bit arcane. I don't know that the average Catholic person considers the Church's teachings first off when they are sitting at their 6-week postpartum appointment and contemplating what birth control is to be used post-baby. I have a feeling that birth control is practiced and dealt with more on an individual basis and not on the administrative level that seems to be Church doctrine. How many priests address this when the newest baby is being christened?? Yea.......Much Ado About Nothing Really, or so I think.


Homosexual marriage.....I'm not going to get into whether or not I believe it's right or not. I will say this though - let them have all the *perks* of marriage like all the heterosexuals. Child support, alimony, divorce, all of it. Perhaps if the homosexuals are treated just like the heterosexuals, all will smooth over.......

See my post on the illegals in this country for my commentary on that.

The War on Terrorism.......oh my....let me see if I can consolidate some of this.....For those that claim this is a war of revenge - YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT!!!!!!! If someone busts into your home, kills all you hold dear and then has the balls to throw it in your face that you had it coming, wouldn't you want revenge??? Big hairy DDDDDUUUUUUHHHHH!!!!!!!! I think that sums up a lot on that topic.

Iran......Guys, we are damned if we do and damned if we don't with Iran. Can you say World War 3? Look at it like this.....if they attack Israel, we have war. If we attack them, we have war with them, Russia and China. World War 3, quick, fast and in a hurry. So just plan on war......and if not, then be pleasantly surprised and happy. A good warrior prays for peace, but trains for war.


Well guys, that's all for now........I'll update again, no worries...

The immigration rallies

Ok, let me slide my little soapbox over here and stand on it.....

For those who say we need a 'plan' to deal with the illegal in this country : We have one.....it's called come here legally or get deported. It's just not enforced.

For those who think we should give them amnesty: Get a grip. They disobeyed our law coming here, what makes you think they will abide anything new?

For those who want to close the borders: While a good idea in theory, how would you know who's legal and who's not? And is going to round them all up? Hell, you've got the Mexican President stating that he's not going to stop his citizens from coming here illegally.....what does that tell you?? Case in point - I worked in an ER at one point, and the town that the ER was in had ALOT of illegal immigrants. How'd they get around getting legal papers? They'd come here, hook up with someone who has a legal pass to be here, and make a fake ID with it......it had the name and ID number of the legal guy on it, but the picture of the illegal guy.......think about that when you want to document all of them...

I say they learn English and get a move on with the getting American citizenship if they want to stay here. Give them a timeframe, say a couple years, in order to get their acts together and provide proof that they are pursuing citizenship and learning proficient English. No proof, boot their asses. If they are pursuing citizenship, I can see them having limited rights.....but not the ability to vote unless they have their citizenship. No welfare, either unless they are pursuing citizenship. That's my idea for the immediate issue......it would be added to for the future folks who come here. Documentation, background checks(don't want any terrorists) and employment documentation would be required to stay here, and if not pursuing citizenship, only allowed to stay here for a certain amount of time. That's my idea.......I don't mind folks coming here, but do it legally, abide by our laws or get the hell out and stop wasting my tax dollars!!!!

****gets off soapbox and slides it back to the corner****
