Tomorrow seems so far away
...yet I can almost reach out and touch it!
Today Mom and I:
Made peanut butter balls.
(it was at this time that we decided that we should make kiss cookies)
so we went to Wal-mart.
We then got the makings for kiss cookies, peppermint bark, AND dipped pretzels.
And that is how we spent our day. Cooking and enjoying one another's company. It was definitely fun.
After that, I cleaned out my car (it NEEDED it). It looks so nice now and it smells good too! Had dinner and then went to Walmart to get the last bit of Christmas presents for my mom from my dad. He wanted to get her these pjs she wanted, but felt awkward shopping in that section. Anyway, I got out of there as quickly as possible because people are getting CRAZY now that it's almost Christmas. I don't need to be around the crazies.
Washed my car at the carwash after that. Machine wouldn't take my $5, so the guy working just took it and then upgraded my wash. (SWEET)
Picked up my check from work. Glad I'm not working today at all. It's been a nice relaxing day.
Tomorrow will be a day of waiting. I'll wait around for Ben to call and tell me when to leave to make it to where I'm picking him up on time. Gotta drive about 20 minutes into Arkansas to pick Landon up. Hopefully I'll get some gas money for going out of my way.
And then I get to see Ben, and all will be right with the world.
I guess I'm going to have to get used to this...not seeing him for 3 months at a time. I am going to be a military wife, and sometimes these things happen. I don't like it, but I'll have to deal.
This was the last time I saw him. Standing outside the BX in Texas.

boy oh boy
2 more days! I barely got to talk to Ben at all today. He had a long day with ceremonies and stuff and I had to work tonight. Then I couldn't really talk to him tonight because I got off work and he was too tired to stay up. It sucks that we don't really get to talk much. Even though we both are available to talk, we are still busy at night. Blah.
Had to work with dipshit manager again tonight. He tried to blame his computer malfunction on the fact that I clocked in. Hmmm...it just doesn't work like that. Then he messed it all up again and couldn't blame it on me.
booya, biatch.
Mom and I are making peanut butter balls and we're decorating for Christmas tomorrow.
YAY!
smooches.

oh my darlin
I just love days that I don't have to work and can go out and see friends.
Went to lunch with a friend today, he paid. It was nice getting out and visiting with him. I haven't really had many opportunities lately to see friends or to just have time to have fun. I know I will in the coming weeks with Ben though! I'm going up to the city in about an hour to see a friend and get his GPS system. Probably get some new music from him on my ipod and visit with them before I come back.
I've been watching the first season of Heroes. It's actually really good. I meant to back when it came out so I could start watching it when it was on TV, but I didn't get a chance to, going back to school every week.
Dad got mom one of those VCR combos that can record VHS onto DVDs. She's been wanting one for YEARS. I know she's going to be one happy camper.
I'm off to go get ready.
smooches.

4 more days.
Ok, so I have some good news. I got a message from my friend Keysa (who runs another video store like the one I work at) and she told me that she's going to be the new manager of the store I work at!!!
No more of my stupid jackass manager, no more of getting picked on, no more being nervous when I go into work. I'm so pumped! I've disliked this guy from the moment I met him and he has done nothing but making working there miserable for me. I couldn't do anything about it either, because he's boinking the district manager.
4 more days til I see my honey. This is going to be a long 4 days!

Long day
What a long day!
It wouldn't have been so bad if my manager wouldn't have been there today. He came in early too! He nit-picks at EVERYTHING. I mean, I've been working there for four years and he thinks he needs to explain how to do every single little thing. Blah. Also, he kept me there for 2 hours after I was supposed to leave. Yeah. And the entire time, he complained about the snow and how he had to drive home (75 miles) in it. Ok, so stop complaining and get a job near your own damn house. It's that easy.
I'm staying in tonight. I was going to go out with Chip and Chelsea, but I'm exhausted and the roads are slick. It was bad enough driving home from I AM LEGEND last night in the snow on the 2 lane twisty highway at 1:30am. Jack was up though, and waited up to make sure I made it home OK. Talked to Ben on the way home too to keep myself alert. I had just woken up when it was time to leave. I would have stayed the night at Jake's house, but I had to work this morning.
Still waiting to hear back from Landon's friend Cody on whether or not me, Eli, and Chelsea will be able to stay the night in Arkansas the night before Ben gets there. It'll just make things easier doing that, rather than driving 12 hours total in a day. eh. no fun. But I'll do it!
I think I'm going to work on making some wedding stuff tonight. I'm making the boxes that the cards will go in. Afterwards, we can just use them to store stuff in. I've got quite a few boxes to make, and I'm feeling crafty.
I'm off.
smooches.
