Too many shows!!

So it's great that all the new shows have started for the season, but I've discovered I watch way too many haha. I was trying to figure out what was on tonight to watch... and realized there are 3 shows I watch on Thursday's at 9. Thank goodness for Tivo! So i did not get to watch Grey's... as much as that upset Lisa! :) But I promised I'd watch it tomorrow. It's sad when my plans for my nights revolve around Tv! It's so cold here already though.. I don't want to go out and do anything! Not that there seems to be much to do anyway! Korey is probably going to be at work again this weekend.. Definitely on Saturday... so who knows what we'll get to do this weekend. The blinds guy is coming on Saturday though so we can get some blinds installed in the living room! We have huge windows but they look out on a road and at night you can see in... so we need to fix that!
I think I'll post some pictures of the empty apartment now, and I'll try and remember to take some this weekend of the apartment now that its got our stuff.. just in case anyone was wondering what it looks like...
Hope everyone has a fun weekend!

Apparently I wouldn't make such a good 1930's wife... good thing its not the 1930's haha

You Would Make an Okay 1930's Wife

You have some of the attributes of an ideal 1930's wife... but you probably didn't intend it to be that way. You don't buy into retro gender roles, though you do embrace your femininity at times. A 1930's man may find you passable, but you probably wouldn't want anything to do with him.

Would You Have Been a Good Wife in the 1930s?

It's Freaking Cold Already!

It's sooooo cold! Now I know why I LOVED living in the South :) So far I've already gotten a cold from the kids at work that won't go away, and it's freezing out. All the people here are excited though because they are ready to go skiing... but I am not excited... it is only September!! Now it has not snowed yet... and I'm hoping that doesn't happen for awhile, but it's kind of scary to hear people talking about skiing already. Especially when I am definitely not so good at skiing. I would not be sad if I never went again. I am a beach person :)
Korey and I actually got around to hanging some pictures in the apartment the other day. We discovered we need a lot more! There is so much more room and wall space in this apartment! I want to put some pictures up of the empty apartment and then some with our stuff in it, but I haven't taken any pictures of it since we've gotten our stuff in. I'll have to do that soon! I need to start taking more pictures again. Most of my pictures lately have been of the dogs! Chloe is getting really big. Everyone is shocked when they see the latest picture I have of Chloe and Bella together. It's funny. I know she's bigger but I see her everyday so I don't get as surprised as other people!
Tonight Korey and I tried a new restaurant downtown. There are a lot of them so we're trying out all the different ones. It was pretty good. I had a Ceasar Salad with steak tips. I would get it again. Tomorrow we're on a mission to find a place to watch the Steeler game. Wish us luck!

Maine...

So... I haven't wrote anything in a LONG.... LONG... time! But that's okay since only a few people read this anyway :) I'll have to send out an email letting people know I'm back! Anyway... I think the last time I wrote I was in Virginia. Even though I didn't like it much there, I don't think Maine is much better. So far Maine kind of sucks. I think the Navy made a mistake sending me to SC first. Now everywhere I go I compare to Charleston. Nothing has even come close yet. Virginia Beach was too touristy and just not my kind of place. Don't get me wrong... I LOVE the beach... but the beach just wasn't enough. The Isle of Palms beach in Charleston was just perfect. It had a few shops, but it wasn't overly touristy like Virginia Beach. But anyway... now we're in Maine. The beaches here are kind of lacking! There is gray sand and lots of gunk on the beach, and instead of sea shells there are rocks! I guess I should give it more of a chance. I mean I am here for the next two years. But a girl can still dream that some day I'll be back in the South!
I do have a job here so Korey is happy there is more money and I guess it keeps me busy during the day. Although I didn't mind not being busy when we were living in Virginia Beach :). My jobs seems okay so far. It's a job... The people seem nice though, and I enjoy working with the kids. They are younger than I am used to, but I'm hoping everything will all work out.
Our apartment is bigger than we're used to so we're trying to fill it up with stuff and decorate so it looks more like a home. We never really got settled in down in Virginia. The last real place that felt like home was Charleston because we got to at least stay there for a year.
Well enough for now... I promise to try and write more :) Maybe it will keep a few people entertained and keep me sane!

Do You Get Enough Sleep?

You Sometimes Don't Get Enough Sleep

You're often more tired than you'd like, and you're probably not getting enough quality sleep. Sleeping a little more could make you a lot more energetic and happy. Try having a bedtime, keep your bedroom cool, and only eat fruit before bed.

Do You Get Enough Sleep?

bored... and a little lonely

So... Korey is gone now for a couple weeks. It's not so bad... I do miss him but I've been away from him for a few weeks before... It just stinks being here not knowing anyone. And the pool isn't open yet... (its not even that warm most of the days). So I am trying to keep myself busy.. reading, scrapbooking, watching movies and tv shows, going to the gym, blah blah blah. Sorry this is really boring.. but my life is kind of boring right now haha. I'm looking forward to the summer though and getting to come home some. It stinks that Korey will be gone most of the summer. Hopefully I can find enough stuff to do.. at least then the pools will be open and my trips home will help... for now i'll hang out with the dogs and try and keep myself busy.... Wow.. this was a sad boring post haha... I"ll try and do better next time!

Crazy Crazy Crazy

so... we're in VA now. I miss SC!!! It's not super nice here. I thought maybe this area would be okay and fun to live in, but I wouldn't mind moving... and I get to do just that in about five months. But i'm not exactly thrilled about moving to NH either. Hopefully we get to return to SC some day.... and eventually end up in NC or somewhere warm and fun and happy!

If anyone even still reads this I'm sure there is nothing I could write here that you don't already know! We got a new puppy which we named Chloe. We love her and Bella seems to like her too! Korey and I are just kinda hanging out at night.. he works all day and is leaving soon for a couple weeks. I'm not looking forward to this whole being on my own thing... when he is gone for over 2 months I am making some trips home so I"ll get to see everyone.. yay! Well I guess that's all I"ll write for now.

Here are some pics of Chloe... I'll try and write more often now that I'm gone again and won't get to see everyone!

It's been a LOOOONNNNNGGG TIME :)

Hey!

So I haven't wrote on here in forever, but mostly everyone that even reads this (if anyone does anymore) has seen me a lot since I am now at home for a few months. Things have been going okay so far living at home. I am subbing, but I have not actually gone in to sub for anyone yet haha. I do have a job for Tues. and Thurs. of next week though... so that's always good. I went up to see Korey last weekend in CT. It was a lot of fun. We went to the casino near where he is staying, and we also went to NYC! I love NYC! I got to see the 25th annual putnam county spelling bee musical again... and I'm glad I did since the day after we saw it was the last day it was on broadway. We also went to see Avenue Q which was really funny. I'm excited because Korey and I are going back again for my birthday. Now I just have to convince him that he really does want to see Legally Blonde the Musical haha! Well I guess that's all for now, sorry it isn't much. Hopefully something more exciting happens soon. I do have pictures from our trip, but Korey has the camera and so he still has to send me the pictures... then maybe i'll put some on here!

Also... we are moving to VA in March, but we may not be there real long... we'll probably be moving to NH within a year of when we move to VA (not looking forward to that). But anyway... I guess I don't have much choice!

What Season Are You?

You Belong in Summer

Energetic, creative, and very curious about the world... You're not going to let anything hold you back, especially a cold day. Whether you're chilling out at the beach or partying all night, you live for the warm weather.

What Season Are You?

A week and a day

Hey everyone!! Pretty soon Korey and I will be heading home.. I know you are all just sooo excited haha. Soon when I write stuff on here I'll be able to say that I just went and did something with YOU! YAY!... Right now Korey and I are waiting to here on what day next week the movers will be coming. It's kind of hard trying to figure out what all we need to pack up to take ourselves, and what we need to leave alone for the movers to pack. I look around and think that we have not done anything yet to get ready... and then I have to remind myself that must of the stuff I'm looking at the movers will be taking.
Today is Korey's last real day hopefully! He has his final test type thing he has to do. I told him when he gets home we are going to dinner and a movie to celebrate. The other good news is we got a GREAT gift the other day to give to give to some people for Christmas and I cannot wait to tell the lucky people what it is! I don't think any of those people read this, but just in case I do not want to ruin anything haha.
Well I guess that is enough for now... I can't wait to see everyone. Although I do not want to move to the cold weather... it's cold enough down here!! I got used to the no snow thing and I wouldn't mind keeping it that way! :)

PICTURES FINALLY

Hey everyone. I know its been awhile again. Soon Korey and I will be home. It's crazy to think but in less than 3 weeks we'll be moving. I figured since I haven't wrote anything in awhile, or put pictures up that I'd finally put some pictures up from our trip to Universal. I finally put them on my computer the other night. I tried to put them on here yesterday but for some reason it wasn't working. It seems to be working today though so enjoy the pictures! Korey and I have been out a couple times for Halloween in our costumes. Korey and his friends made ghostbuster costumes that seem to be a hit. They won second place last Sat. night at a costume contest. They won some money (which went to pay for some of the costumes) and they won some prizes (parasailing, jet ski rental, and coupon for some places). It was a fun time. We're going out again tonight I think but minus Korey :( He has a big test tomorrow that is 8 hours long so he doesn't want to be tired for it. I'll have to put pictures up some time when I get them on my computer :) Hopefully I'll do that sooner than I did with the Universal pictures haha :)

Life is definitely NOT fair...

Well I haven't wrote anything in awhile. I don't know why it's not really like I'm busy or anything. But I guess that could be why too... I don't really have anything exciting to write about. I figured I'd write something today and vent about the stupid news we got yesterday that pretty much "ruins my life". (sounds like a Courtney saying). By now anyone who reads this probably knows the crappy news. Korey did not get stationed where he wants to be. Not only did we not get stationed in GA where I was really hoping for... we also did not get WA. Which means Korey did not get the right kind of sub and he will be out for a lot longer than we planned. So instead of being out for around 2 1/2 months. He could be out for 6 months at a time or longer :( Which left yesterday being a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. And today is not feeling much better either. It seems like Korey is always getting screwed when it comes to this stuff. First he did not get the other job he thought he would which would've meant he would never have to go out and just stay on land. Then we come down here and he doesn't get to start on time and he gets pushed back. Now... he doesn't get to be on what he wants to be on and we'll be away from each other for a lot longer than we thought. Right now... I think we're both starting to wish our life away so that it's about 3 years from now when all this crap is completely finished.
Okay... sorry that's enough ranting... Just figured i'd get it out, and put it on here since I hadn't written anything in awhile.. haha. Sorry!

I promise I will put Universal pictures up soon, I have not put the pictures from the cd onto the cmoputer. Maybe later I'll feel like it. We'll see though, I actually have to go to bed on time tonight. I am subbing tomorrow. One of my last few days of subbing. It would be my last day but I told another lady at an elementary school that I would sub for her. I'm still waiting to hear back from her though because I forgot I can only sub 2 of the 3 days she asked me to. So hopefully she emails me back soon. If not, I'll have to try and give her a call at the school. But that's enough now... I'm sure I've completely bored you. I'll try and write something a little more happier next....

Vacation is over

We're back from our trip to Orlando. We've actually been back since Monday. It was a Great trip. We went to both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure and got to do a lot. We also went to a Disney water park: Typhoon Lagoon and we went to Pleasure Island one of the nights. I like Universal but I definitely know that I like Disney better haha. It was a fun trip though. I enjoyed getting away and spending time with Korey. We also went to the Universal Halloween Horror Nights. I'm not a huge fan of haunted houses because I am too easily scared. We went in a few of them and they definitely freaked me out. BUT!... The BEST part was the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW TRIBUTE!.. LOVED IT!.. It was so fun and good. Korey and I of course forgot something on our trip... and sadly it was the camera. So we paid way too much for a camera in the parks and I just dropped off the film today. I even ordered a picture CD with it so I can put them online easily. I can't go pick them up until Saturday though. So sadly... no pictures until then. But I'll try and put them up on Saturday if I can remember. I also need to take pictures of the new car finally now that Korey has all his Steelers stuff on it. He did not want me to take the pictures before then haha. Well I hope everyone else is doing well. Don't forget to go vote for Bella's picture. The contest ends next Tuesday and she needs as many 10's as she can get :)... Talk to you soon!

Give me a 10 for Cutest Pet

Give me a 10 for Cutest Pet

One Year

I don't have a lot new to write. I enjoyed the class I subbed in today. The teacher and assistant were great, even the lady I subbed for was great (she stopped in briefly haha). I discovered I like Chai Tea now (even with soy milk in it). But anyhow... I was just writing because I realized that today was ONE YEAR THAT WE'VE LIVED HERE. We moved in to our apartment on Sept. 20, 2006. We've got a few more months, then its back North for awhile... then who knows. But I just thought I'd share that it was a year you've all been away from me haha :) MISS YOU!!

You Have A Type B+ Personality

You're a pro at going with the flow You love to kick back and take in everything life has to offer A total joy to be around, people crave your stability. While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity. Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's done You're passionate - just selective about your passions

Do You Have a Type A Personality?

The trip to Universal is getting closer!

Hello everyone. Does anyone even still read this? haha Nothing much has changed as usual. Korey is still working on crazy shifts, and I'm still subbing. I've been in mostly special needs classrooms. I did manage somehow to get myself in a emotional and behavioral problem class which was different, and maybe not something I would want to do again. But it wasn't the end of the world either. I do enjoy having random days off some times when I can't find a job. I had this Monday off which was nice, but then I found a job for Tues. and that turned into a job for Wed. and Fri. and I already had one for Thursday... so now I'm set for the rest of the week. Which is good because it means some money for me, but bad because it means I can't sleep in! Although two of the three days I have left to sub I can sleep a little longer because the school doesn't start until later and its not too far away.
Korey and I went to dinner tonight with another couple. It was good. We went to a restaurant near the beach that we've gone to before. They have great burgers. It was a good time. Something different to do during the week. The rest of the night I think I'll try and spend finishing the two desperate housewives episodes I have left. Then I will be all caught up and ready for the next season when it starts.
So the exciting thing Korey and I are looking forward to is his four day weekend that is coming up soon. Sept. 28th. We are heading down to Orlando and going to Universal Studios and hopefully a Disney water park (depending on the weather). We are both looking forward to it. I keep counting down the days! 9 more! :) I really liked Universal when we went over Christmas but we tried to do both parks in one day and we missed some stuff. We definitely got to do a lot though since my dad bought us all the express pass and we got to bypass a lot of the lines! But this time we'll have at least two days to go to the parks and I think we're going to stay late one night and do their Halloween thing. So that's what's going on here. Hope everyone else is having a good time. And yay for Lisa who probably still reads this and will be done REAL SOON with her placement!
So I guess that's enough for now. Hopefully something interesting will happen to write about.
For now.. Here are some pictures

I need to write more

Once again it's been awhile since i wrote something. Sorry! :) I have subbed some since school started. I've only been in special ed classrooms so far. It's not exactly what I expected to be doing, but it's not too bad.. I am looking forward to when I'm done subbing though haha :)
Like usual, nothing exciting has happened. Korey and I haven't done much. His schedule is crazy and he hasn't had too many days off in a row again yet. Last Tuesday we did go celebrate his birthday though. We had to celebrate early because he had to work on his actual birthday. We went shopping so he could get the new Madden and we went for a walk on the beach, and then had dinner downtown. It was a pretty good day! Korey's on night shifts again which stinks. At least we get to see each other more than when he was on his 11-11 shift. Today the girls got together and went to the pool while the boys slept, and then after dinner we met up again to scrapbook. I haven't scrapbooked in a long time so it was nice to do it again. I'll have to try and do it more so I can get caught up! But enough boring stuff. Hopefully I'll have something more exciting to write about soon. But for now.. thats it haha!

Back to work and 3 day weekends

Well I had my first week of subbing. It did not go as bad as I thought it might. I was not looking forward to going back to work again. I really enjoyed my summer off. I could get used to the staying at home thing :) Anyhow... my first week of subbing I subbed 3 days in a special needs classroom at an elementary school. The class right now only had 2 kids, and the teacher I worked with was great. So it was not bad at all. I also got a job for all of next week doing the same thing but at a High School. We'll see how that goes. I'm a little more nervous about doing this one because it's older kids.... but it can't be that bad?! I'm sure after the first day it will get easier. I gave myself Monday off so I can spend time with Korey because he has a 4 day weekend right now. So I made myself a 3 day weekend!
So far on our long weekends we've gone to dinner with friends, saw a movie (well just the girls saw a movie... the boys preferred not to see The Nanny Diaries), went to a water park, had dinner again, played games, and relaxed. Today's only Sunday so we have today and tomorrow to still do some things. Today we are planning a trip to Target haha and then watching the Steeler game because it will actually be on TV here! Tomorrow we might take Bella to the dog park and then I'm going to stop in at the school I worked at last year to give them my number in case they need a sub! Then on Tuesday its back to work for both of us. Korey will be on his mids shift so he'll be at work from 11-11. Which will be interesting, because that means I'll only really see him for a few hours in the morning. But that's okay it will only be for a four days then I'll have the weekends off so I can see him when he's home a little more. These weird shifts bug me! :) But that's okay. At least on the next 4 day weekend we're going to Universal- I can't wait!. I guess that's enough for now I'm going to go play a game on my computer or something since Korey is playing on his. Talk to everyone later I hope!

Subbing... ugh

Hello everyone. It's been awhile again. Sorry! I really haven't been doing too much. Just the same old stuff. Going to the pool during the day and relaxing. But... all that is about to end. School started today :(. I don't know when I'll get my first subbing call but I am not looking forward to it. We need the money so I have to try and sub at least 4 days a week once school gets going, but I really would rather not. haha I guess I'll really be looking forward to the weekends again! The good thing is that Korey has a lot of the weekends off now. It's nice that his breaks fall on weekends because then we can do stuff together. This weekend I think we are going to go to one of the water parks here. Each of the three county parks have a water park at them and we have been wanting to go for awhile now-so we figured we better go before summer is completely over.
Today I have a list of things I need to do , but right now I'm watching Pride and Prejudice. We read the book for book club and now I'm watching the movie. I had a hard time getting into the book, and didn't really like it too much, but the other people in the book club told me to watch the movie and it would help me like it better. But anyway.. for now that's all I have to write I guess :)
