post no. 332 -- a list for lately



been thinking about the road that lays ahead of us with next year's deployment. how all the planning in the world can still leave you unprepared for a new series of trials and tribulations, lessons, achievements, and memories.

been focusing on putting my house and home into order and developing a system that works for buzz and i. both design and function mixed in the with simplicity, and you might just have the perfect little combo for our home.

been missing family and friends scattered throughout the mainland, and wishing we could be home already for the holidays.



been having a lot of adhd moments between hair color, blog designs, the list really can go on forever on this one.

been excited to see how fast and long my hair is growing. i can't even begin to tell you guys how much time i have spent browsing through hair style pictures trying to find just the right look to take in to the hairdresser in a few weeks.

been fantasizing about becoming a stay at home wife and mother. having to close the door to the apartment while puppy eyes stare back at you in confusion is a bit disheartening day after day. one day i won't have to hear sad little simpers while i wait for the elevator. one day.

been looking through holiday party ideas on pinterest. ever since purchasing our new dining set i've been yearning for the fall holiday season to come around so i have an excuse to invite people over for a party. oktoberfest anyone?

been trying keep patience and focus as a header on my list of to dos. it's a lot harder than it looks, and sometimes forgotten when behind taxi vans on kalakaua, but it takes awhile to form habits, so i'm getting there.

been loving marriage and who i'm married to. whether he's listening to me talk about blog ideas and a new follower's blog i just checked out, or responding to e-mails instant message style from the ship on underways, i love that man. plus he always tells me dinner tastes amazing, even when it's frozen burritos.

what have you been up to lately?

post no. 325 -- things that make duty nights slightly less than grand

  1. sharing teetering on the edge of your bed with a furry thing that sounds more like a pig than a puppy
  2. dinner for one
  3. your piglet of a puppy magically forgetting her year and a half of potty training seminars, conferences, and internship opportunities to decide that now is the perfect time to grace the apartment with her presents
  4. tums that don't fix the tummy and yoga poses that don't even attempt to dull the nagging uncomfy feeling in your lower back
  5. netflix deciding not to play sound on the shows you've been wanting to watch for forever
  6. crawling into bed at 8:30, still being awake an hour later, and then buckling down and really trying to focus on sleep around 10:00 {p.s. how in the world does one focus on sleep?!?}
     oh yeah, and #7. car alarms at four in the morning that go on for. ev. er.

was there anything i missed?

somehow, i'm functioning right now. thank god buzz will be home early today and i will be off early, and i can take the longest nap of my life. and squash the laundry rebellion once and for all. mwa. ha. ha. 

post no. 321 -- goals & things



this weekend i will...

make a fancy breakfast for my boy.
simplify our home.
