Onward and Upward

do pigs pull hamstrings? >i heard this question on the radio. what do you think? oh, another one.. if you call a person who cant see blind, and someone who cant hear deaf, how about someone who cant smell??

on another note, i spent my weekend [more like just saturday] with fellow sfc in georgia. talking about jekyll island. it was fun being around good friends. only downfall... hubby more than 500 miles away. i put off the horseback riding so we can go together. i went biking instead with jema and ruby around the park, i loved the beach! i came late actually. saturday morning, i was trying to get my sister to come with me, but she still wasnt feeling well [loser!] so i drove to ga alone, not too bad, just an hour and a half. i enjoyed the solo flight. =) [oh, not so, since hubby stayed on the phone anyway, thanks baby!] when i got there, some were horseback riding, some were playing tennis and i decided to work out my hamstrings for the aftenoon. all good! later that night, we had the qsd. morelike our first "kick-off" household meeting. great discussion. great job guys! sunday morning, i drove back home with faith. then i headed straight to mass after i dropped her off.

after mass i was starving! because of no breakfast and lunch naturally. i had lunch at the mall. fair lunch. thanks for the help baby! my tummy was going psycho again. 3-4 tums did it! yes! the puppies in puppy village are adorable! but still no beagle. =/ oh well... next time.

i've been talking to hubby more lately and i love it! iloveyoubaby! =) thank God for phones, thank you Alexander Graham Bell! =) just hang in there baby! whenever you need some more ptalk or some pspankin' [haha!] im here.

i am still tired from the ms trip but i had to get ravvy from the other house last night, so i did. but i left late because i ended up talking with the parentals. i had a 7.30 medical check-up earlier this morning. hubby woke me up. [his day starts at 4am]. so i went through the check-up then ended up having to do a blood test. ok, so here we go. the nurse took blood initally from my left arm. but then [for some weird reason] it just stopped kind of "free-flowing". it was hurting and i was losing grip of the ball. very little blood was drawn and she needed more. [geesh, im getting dizzy just thinking about it again]. i was telling the nurse im starting to feel sick. [was it about it was too early or because i havent eaten anything just yet?]. another guy was trying to talk to me [ i guess to keep me conscious] he went,"feeling good?" i went, "not really, im feeling sick" . he went, "it's no too bad, so how was your weekend?" then i said "i was in misssssiiiissssipppii....." then i passed out. my head started spinning then it felt like i was having a bad dream that someone was grabbing me or running after me. not too long after, i regained my consciousness. the nurse joked that i tried to slap her [i didnt really]. just when i thought that did it, she still needed more blood. so the right arm did it. it didnt hurt as bad and i didnt pass out plus it had more blood. she had me lie down for awhile before she let me leave. that was crazy! and i was alone, scared me really, specially that i had to drive myself home. oh well, got through it. i still feel a little weird though. so i never should forget, not the left vein. another lesson learned.

haha! freakin' handsome. ;p i miss you! i love you!

thanks for the long weekend [well, not long enough for us..] but oh well. i went to visit hubby in mississippi with dad. just got back earlier today around 2.30ish. yet another achievement: driving the whole stretch/7 hours going home. you're always worth it baby! since we cant leave the base for the time being, we were confined to bowling, tv in the room [we tried], pool, bowling again [ i was doing better eventually], burgers, chowhall food [im impressed actually], chess [i liked!] i did five games with hubby. great time! and hanging out [everywhere].

whenever i get to be with him again, it's like taking vitamins. always makes me feel healtheir. cb =)

i hope this cycle of anticipating, then being together again, then saying goodbye then back to anticipation will be done with its turn sooner. it's not like it's a bad thing, just the emotional turns bite. oh well, soon enough, hopefully before my birthday.

leaving for mississippi in a few. [yey or yay! whatever..]slept at two earlier today. rewind: got up yesterday, meaning opened my eyes around noon. i started reading the second book hubby bought me. i like it better than the first one, based on the first 70 pages. then got up finally. i cleaned the solara. watered the lawn. i started thinking how it would actually be like if i had help [househelp] here in jax. hmmm... anyway, went to the gym. feels nice! =) then solo flight to assumption for adoration. =) dinner at parentals then off to my house.

today clearly will be spent on the road - again. eating wayy less than i thought i will for the entire day then trying to spot the most sensible rest areas. oh well. be there baby in 8 - 9ish hours. to cross florida and alabama for you. =) you know this means i looove you! =)

i feel like i've been pretty productive today. i watered my lawn for like almost 3 hours. [i'm doing it manually, i enjoy the solitude], cleaned my garage, and did some laundry.

i'm supposed to meet up with.. by the way, the solara got hit. scratches and dent, signal light broken plus part of the right headlight. this has gone frustrating. less than two months since i got the solara, my youngest sister got it hurt. she was on a stop sign, then some absent-minded guy hit her from the rear. then, just last week, my other sister was making a u-turn in a clubhouse the she got hit by the incoming rodeo. it's just... sad, and upsetting. you know, like when you're really trying to take care of things. that car was a gift from dearest lolo. oh well, what's done is done. going back, was supposed to meet up with the rodeo guy this afternoon but it seems like today's turning tomorrow.

anyway, what made me feel good are the stuff i did plus i did one good deed. when i was watering my lawn, the recyclables were being collected. when it was our turn, i gave the garbage collector some of my favorite danish butter cookies. "it's not much but you might get hungry later." the thank-you smile was rewarding, but it was even more rewarding for me. felt good. =)

but the best part is... im going to mississippi!!!! =) i'll be seeing you soon hubby!! very soon! i guess i'll be driving either the solara [ouch!] or the camry. anyhow, i'll be there. i'm excited! =)

yesterday, i found out that we are *** ********. no greater remembrance of the last day of last year*.

and i made my way back to the gym - finally.

i just remembered i haven't blogged about this. hubby was supposed to buy me a beagle.. almost! but i said we should hold it off. just for me to think about it because that puppy was pricey. then two days later [just two short days later], puppy village had a sale. [can't quite believe they put those cute puppies to sale].. beagle's gone. it broke my heart. =( there was a jack russell, but he's a little too hyper for me. oh well, maybe next time. but man, that was a beagle, been waiting for that for ages...

shout-out to hubby! i looooovvvvve you! =)
