Howdy

Well, I am currently working on obtaining my license to sell insurance for Liberty National Insurance.

I am still in school, and drag my feet to complete Pysch homework. I hate psych class. With a serious passion.

I am haring(laying trail) my first hash run this weekend, with Eunuch. This ought to be fun. Sooner or later I will get my official hash name.

Riley is sick, so she's home with me.

My sleep schedule has been all kinds of goofed up. I sleep during the day and stay up til all hours of the night.

We are all flying out to Washington next week. I am soooo looking forward to the trip! I will have my laptop, so I will update, of course......

That's about it for now....

Progress

Well, it seems that I have a fabulous job offer coming to me from Liberty National Insurance. They want me as an agent, and to train as a manager. I can handle that. The money is nothing to complain about, either....let's hope it works out.

We are flying, rather than driving, to Washington State. I finally got Mason to relent and let us fly. And I got some killer airfares, to boot.

So things are currently looking pretty good. School is going well, too. No complaints!!

About Time!!

As I've mentioned on my myspace, my brother in law got engaged.......and Mason and I are going to be witnesses to the wedding, when we go out to Washington in a couple weeks! Awwww.......

First complete week off

Ok, it's only Monday, what can I say? I've been rather productive, for someone who got up at 9:30 this morning. Laundry put away, vacuuming done, dishes put away....go me. Very productive. I even went over to my college and got my parking permit and books for the last two classes I am taking this semester. Just 8 weeks, so it shouldn't be overly stressful.

Speaking of school, I am having to pull people's teeth to find out about my GI Bill, and when I can expect it to be paid. That's going to give me more gray hair than I care to deal with. So getting that handled seems to be a lesson in bugging people.

I need to get a job, and am currently becoming a bit disheartened and discouraged that nothing has been fruitful as yet. I am trying not to let it get me too down. I have applied to a number of places, and am kind of surprised that I haven't heard anything back from any of them. I am probably going to re-do my resume in the hopes that it increases my options.

What I'm taking, what I'll leave behind.......

When I was a senior in high school, we all filled out a 'last will and testament'. When I got divorced, I had two stacks of things; what I was keeping, and what I was getting rid of. Now that I am at the end of my time in the Air Force, I will let my readers in on what I'm taking with me, and whatI'm leaving behind from 6 years in the Air Force, in no particular order....

The knowledge that no matter how hard I work......there will be time to work on it tomorrow. I will always think of my TI, TSgt King, when I walk across a crosswalk. Always be flexible. Things will get done, regardless of deadlines. Don't think of things in terms of problems, rather as solutions. Problems are easily known, solutions require thought. I take with me the work ethic I learned at the knee of MSgt Kip Phillippe, 'Work til we're done, then we can drink beer!' How to pack for airports. The ability to sleep pretty much anywhere, in any surroundings. Memories of riding four-wheelers and camping in Alaska. My best friend, Chris. My marriage to Mason, and our children. From Mr. Johnson, the confidence to take on anyone, regardless of rank, age or position. The memories of my soulmate, Stephen.

I leave behind.....all of those who said I'd never make it through my enlistment. Everyone who said I'd never make it outside of Georgia. And those who said Mason and I would never make it.

THere are few people I will miss, but I am glad to be leaving alot of folks behind. I learned alot, learned a bit about myself and the world. Time to move on....

TIME SERVED!!!!
