I get to move in February. We are leaving for a while and my room mate may not be here when I get back so I am putting MOST of my things in storage....just in case. The last time I did this it sucked so I am a little wiser. I WILL get a rental van and move all the furniture at once instead of trying to throw it in the back of 3 pick up trucks (that sounds like a terrible idea....what was I thinking?) And even if I have to buy dinner, I will not do it alone.
I will leave some things here and still 'make sure' I have a place to come home to if the rommie does not leave, but I don't want him to have to move all of his stuff and mine too!

X-mas X2
Being in the Military is hard at times but this year it is kinda cool. I will not be with my family for Christmas so we get two this year. (Got 3, but who's counting?!) On December 20th we celebrated Christmas at my grandparents. We had wrapping paper and grins all over the living room as my sisters and mom opened the boxes that had been scattered under the tree.
Hope wanted to erase her wish list from the marker board on the fridge because she knew there was no way she was going to get the trampoline or 'Etnies' shoes she wanted. Just look at her face when she opened the box.
As I wrote in 'Christmas out of the holidays', it is not about the gifts or the money, but look at her face. This is the first time in 4 years I have been home for the holidays and I miss this. They always get stuff from where ever I am, but this is priceless. This is Christmas. Not the gift, but the joy. Even though she did not get the exact colors she wanted, she refused to return them and get the ones she really liked. I guess these grew on her.
Hope and Nicole: Merry Christmas. No matter where I am remember that I love you!

Christmas out of the holidays
What kinda shit is this. My mom told me some crap about our town taking "Merry Christmas" out of the holidays. While I was not able to find anything about this in the local news paper online, something did strike my funny and now I understand it.
I went to the local Wal-Mart (that just opened a few weeks ago) and some young man was talking to the greeter at the door. The conversation was short and went something like this:
Greeter: Merry Christmas.
Man: I am so glad you said that. This is starting to make me sick.
Greeter: I have said Merry Christmas for more years than you could imagine and I refuse to say anything else unless it is of my own free will.
As I was driving down the road talking to my mom a few days later with my younger sister in the back seat, the subject came up. My mom started telling me that someone in town wanted to take the "Marry Christmas" out of the holidays and have it just "Happy Holidays". Then my little sister said, "We won't have Christmas any more?"
How sad is it when we as people take away what is really important. It is not about the X-Box 360's and your spoiled ass rotten child. Christmas is about being with the ones you love and Showing them how much you love them. If you child tells you that you only love them if you get them a personnel DVD player, then you failed as a parent to raise an appreciative member of society. I am up set because I know what I got for X-mas, not because it is or is not what I wanted, but because my boyfriend could not keep it a secret for 2 weeks and told me. And I am not really upset, just a bit disappointed because I will not have the element of surprise.
I go to work every day and serve my country. I do what I am told to do to meet the mission whether I agree with it or not. That is my job. You can't take "Merry Christmas" out of the holidays and if you as AMERICAN's allow this to happen. Shame on you!

A bit different
Check this out......I think it is cool and it is getting cold in Southwest Louisisana. Click on Blankets for the Gulf

Rita is not done
Everyone knows about the hurricaines that hit Louisisana this year. I went home and the experience was different.
The first thing I wanted to eat was Sonic. They were all closed. Why do you ask if the city is pretty much back up and running? They have no one to work. Everyone in the city is on clean up crews, roofing crews, or collecting unemployment bacause they are too lazy to go back to work.
Burger King will give you 1500 if you sign a 6 month full time contract. McDonalds will give you an extra $250 each week! For the first 2 weeks after the storm, you goind not go into Lake Charles. After that, you could like and leave for about a week or so. The first time clean up crew got hot meals was when someone grilled burgers in a local resturant parking lot. Other than that, they were eating MRE's! Most places close at 9 or so and some do splits so they can be open for lunch and supper.
This is my bestfriend's house

Cas
What can be said about Cas? First of all, he is doing REALLY good in Rota.
If you know anything about Cas, out friendship has been extremely bittersweet! (This is being nice!) He has become one of my dearest friends. And causing him more pain is the last thing I have ever wanted to do.
A few weeks ago I had to do something that I did not plan on doing and was truly scared to do with all we had been through and all he has been through, but I figured it was for the best. I told him about Ronnie (Fawson). That was a difficult e-mail to send but the reply was good.
IT WAS HARD......

Work some times gets in the way
We were doing a big training evolution on the ship and I had to go out to a gun mount to get a simulated patient. We got there, did what we had to do and as we were about to leave training ended.
A year or so later I was a Flying Squad training and one of my guys (Reed) on the team told me that one of his friends had been asking about me. Of course I asked who and blah, blah, blah. He told me it was Fawson and I had no clue who he was talking about.
A week or so later I was standing in a passageway on the ship looking for stuff that I needed to fix and Reed walked by. He stopped as usually and we talked for a bit and he brought up Fawson again. So I told him to tell Fawson to stop being a puss and come and talk to me. Then I said something like "If he is cute enough I might even go to the Christmas Party with him." Reed said something about going down to his office and seeing what he was doing and left. I went back to work.
That day or a few after I got an e-mail from Fawson. I am not sure what it said, but apparently they did walk by shortly after Reed left but I 'looked busy' working so they did not stop.
We hung out a bit and chatted on e-mail. When we pulled into San Francisco we hung out the last day we were there and had a good time. As we were walking up one of the 50 hills we concord trying to find China Town, he grabbed my hand (he later told me that I pulled away), and I got the butterflies in my tummy. It was kinda cool and why does this sound like I am still in High School?!
So we get back to Washington and hang out a good bit of out off time. It has been interesting and a lot of fun. The day we actually started dating is a debate and neither one of us know so Dec 1st is!

Fire Department?
While out to sea one of my jobs is to respond on the ship's fire department. While this is more work for me and it does take me away from my normal duties a few times a week, I enjoy it. I get to meet people from other work areas of the command that I would now know other wise and some times get to do things that no one else gets to.
My job there is medical of course, yet I always find other things to get my hands into. I frequently end up carrying supplies for the guys that are actually going into the space to fight the fire or stop the flooding. Sometimes I just block the passage ways and tell people that they have to go around. One cool thing about this is I get to be a bitch about it and somehow I gained the nick name 'Bull Dog'. (This is quite different from 'Monkey', but oh well. Besides, no one calls me that anymore.)
One day we were in the middle of training and my name was called. Due to my primary job I don't get called out much so it was strange. One of the guys standing next to me looked at me and said "Let's go" (his name was called out too). We walked to the other side of where our gear was set up and hung out with the other 6 people who's names were called. After about 5 minutes of waiting around we were told to walk up to the flight deck behind the DCA (don't worry about what it stands for, you won't get it). So we walk up there, (4 flights of stairs in a hurry) and walk to a weapons elevator and get our gear. I had 3 20 pound bags to my self! We carried it to a helo and threw it in. Unfortunately the fun stopped there.
What was planned? A trip to another ship that was out to sea with us. It was set up for us to fly by helo with out gear, go onto the other ship, take a tour, then return to work. How cool would that have been? I have been pretty lucky during my time in the Navy. I was in New Orleans for two years. Only 3 hours from home while I was adjusting to a new life style and celebrating Mardi Gras. Then I went to Okinawa, Japan and met wonderful people (Ed and Steph....I miss you), learned how to SCUBA dive in one of the worlds top 10, and experienced a great culture. Then Washington. Being at sea is hard, but for the first time I felt like I was actually doing what I joined the Navy for when we went to Indonesia. I was making a difference! But this adventure would have been right up there as one of my favorites. As medical you are selected to be on the 'Flying Squad' (fire department), so to be selected as one of six out of 50 in that group it was cool.

INSURVE
INSURVE, or my headache, is an inspection that all Naval ships go through every 5 years to insure the military and you, the tax payers, get your monies worth. It like all Naval inspections looks at things that you would never imagine. For instance, each and every electrical outlet has to be stenciled "115V AC" (or what ever is appropriate).
My job currently is to go through and find all the improvements we need to do for insurve (like paint on a valve) or work requests for when we pull in for maintence so we can get big jobs done (like replacing the tile in the passage way that 5 thousand people walk on everyday). It has been interesting doing this, but I must admit, that I like taking care of people more that I like to walk around and look for misplaced paint.
I have however been on a few projects that were kinda fun. I had to 'lag' or insulate some pipes. The 'glue' for this is pink. HOT pink......I still hate pink. It was kinda fun though because it was almost like playing with paper meche'. You have to cut the lagging to fit around the insulation that fits around the pipes. Then you have to 'glue' it on. The second to last thing is to cover up the seams. Once this dries you have to paint it........Could I have just used the paint in the first place.

Friend VS Acquaintance
Who is Jess?
Jesse Welsh is an old dear friend of mine that I meet 20 years ago when we moved in to the projects behind the Coke-A-Cola Plant on HWY 14 in like '85! We stayed real good "friends" even after he moved.....we were like 7! I use to go stay the night at his house for like the whole weekend! It was cool.
I remember one night we had a bad storm or a transformer blew or something. Anyway, I woke up in the middle of the night and Tammi was up. I don't remember the details because it a long time ago and a lot has happened in life over 17 years, but I still remember the dream that I had.
It was as simple as I moved in with them and became part of the family.
Over time I had become part of the family and I still talk to Nana (Tammi's mom). A few years ago when I came back from Japan (I think), I went to see Nana and we called Jess. I found out that he was getting married and all that good shit.
Well, he e-mailed me not too long ago and gave me his blog site and phone number. I called him last night and we talked for an hour! He is doing well!
So, this got me thinking about friends! Webster defines 'friend' as:
1 a : one attached to another by affection or esteem
b : ACQUAINTANCE
2 a : one that is not hostile
b : one that is of the same nation, party, or group
3 : one that favors or promotes something (as a charity)
4 : a favored companion
5 capitalized : a member of a Christian sect that stresses Inner Light, rejects sacraments and an ordained ministry, and opposes war -- called also Quaker
and an acquaintance as:
1 a : the state of being acquainted
b : personal knowledge : FAMILIARITY
2 a : the persons with whom one is acquainted
b : a person whom one knows but who is not a particularly close friend
To me this is interesting because I have always thought of the 2 as a differentiation between people I share parts of my life with and people I tolerate (plus the 89% of people that I just don't like).A best friend is some one you can talk to once every 3 years, months or weeks and feel like nothing has changed. I have one of these and we are more along the once every 6 months time line. I know she will be there for me no matter what happens and she knows I will drop the world for her if she needs me too (we have both done it). Then I have less than 5 true life friends that I have known pre-navy that I talk to off and on. Now, just standard friends maybe 10! Everyone else acquaintance!

The good the bad and the ugly
I had the unfortunate experience of having a cyst. Needless to say, it was painfully removed (yes I am a weenie and have 0 pain tolerance). (This is the bad and the ugly.) I spent my entire birthday weekend hobbling around in pain and getting laughed at!
Yesterday, I painfully drove the 25 miles to Seattle and dropped off my digital camera to get fixed. Today I found out that it was an LCD problem and would only cost me $32 to send off and get fixed. YEAH. It takes 4-6 weeks. BOO.

Huh, this is too funny. Where do people come up with this shit. What is worse, that someone came up with it, or that I read it and then e-mailed a link to my friends because I thought it was so damn funny?

Fruit
Have you ever gotten into it with a friend....over something stupid? Well, when I get sick, one of two things happens: 1. I get really touchy feely with 'Mr Right Now' or 2. I am a total bitch to everyone I come in contact with. I have recently been sick. I took the path on #2 and warned everyone....."Don't fuck with me I don't feel good."
Well, this past Sunday, I went and met some friends at a local restaurant. They had been drinking and watching football. When I got there, I reminded Robert that I did not want to be fucked with. What does he do? You got it, started giving me shit. What really sucks is that I had already placed my order for a burger and fries. I threw the menu at him, told him to cancel my order and left.
Today he came over for supper and we have talked a bit over the last few days. We had to go to the store because I knew what I wanted for supper, I just did not know that I was missing the main ingredient (that we could not find!) I ended up improvising and we ended up getting a pineapple.
If you are like me and don't often splurge on fresh fruit, you should change your ways. No sooner than he cut the top off, the smell of sweet pineapple filled the air. It tasted even better than it smelled. With that, we are now back to normal.....bitching at each other like nothing ever happened.

OH MY.....DUH!
So, I get this e-mail last night "blah.....blah.....I just can't help myself from going to improper or porn sites even at work. I don't know why, but I just have to click on them" WOW......I personally am not a huge fan of porn, but if that is what you are into, so be it. There is a time for work and a time for play. Sometimes....there is a time for work and play......HELLO....THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM!
I am very picky about money and the thing that brings me money, my job. So I am very picky about what I do there and do virtually nothing that will jeopardize my cash intake. This is crazy.
I also have to evaluate a friendship. This may seem harsh, but like your parent's said "You are the company that you keep." To me, it would be different if an e-mail had been opened and you go "Oh shit"....and close it. This makes me wonder about this person's moral and ethical character. 1-Porn at work.....no! 2-who is doing this person's work while they are looking at porn.....someone has to be! 3-no self control.....not a good thing!
I just find this funny, because this came up in general conversations before and nothing was said. Now, all this sudden, it is a big deal.....So really, I have also been lied to. Those of you who know me know that I would rather you tell me that I am a waste of a human brain and hurt my feelings than lie to me about what color socks you have on........

As usual, I forgot
I was thinking the other day that I wanted to make a few entries, partialy because Karen has a blog that she uses like daily and I thought it was cool, so I started one and never make entries. I thought it would be a good release of frustration or a great way to share happiness, but I never get a chance to write in it.
Then, I am scared to say anything because apparently these lil online diaries can get you into a world of shit and we all know how the military is!

Katrina and Rita
It has been a long time......haze gray and underway sucks! (not really that bad, you just miss a ton of stuff that we take for granted everyday) My family from New Orleans is okay! A few shingles here and there, but nothing major. My family in Lake Charles is okay. Unfortunately, my bestfriend's mom lost her trailer.....3 trees in one home. I cannot imagine. They are all safe and sound and that is what is important.

Violation
Work has been sucky and all that stuff. I got in my truck last Monday to go to work and noticed a ton of paperwork on my floor! It took me a few minutes before I realized that I had been robbed! They took over 200 CD's, my cell phone car charger, some dog tags, my tassel from high school graduation, an empty sunglass case and the owners manual to my truck! Upon calling the insurance company I was told they only give $250 for stolen CD's! I had $3,000 worth! What a bummer! I also got some reimbursement for the CD case and the phone charger, but damn.......$250! That just sucks.
All of my family is accounted for in New Orleans and so far it seems like they have only minor property damage!

Staffing
Why is it so hard for people to staff work areas? Why can't you just put someone in the job they want to be in......I don't get it. Why make someone do something on a daily basis that they do not want to do? Who's fault is it when they do a crappy job: the worker bee because they don't conform when they have no desire to do it or the supervisor that can't manage/has no choice? I think it then becomes the supervisors fault. Why would you have someone sit at a desk that would rather paint when you need someone to do both? Let that person paint and have someone sit at a desk. We have plenty of people in the world that would love to sit behind a computer all day. I just don't get it!

Calls
My bestfriend from high school has attempted to call me several times over the past few weeks and we talked today. It is amazing what can happen over 6 years or how you can get so excited about something so simple as hearing an old friends voice.....A lot has changed with us both and it was wonderful to hear from her. With this being my first post, I am glad that I heard from an old friend today and she just sent me pictures so I have to go!
