OK, per requests, I changed my profile pic for now. I'll probably put a military one back up later on...since it is basically who and what I am for the next year or so. but I like this picture more anyhow.

I definitely loved Tuscany. You were right.
Spending my last real weekend of normal life hanging out with my Mom. She wanted to see me before I went on Active and off to Iraq and all that so I helped her fly down for the weekend to hang out. especially it being Mother's Day and all.
So tomorrow I'll spend time with her and her parents which will also double as time...

i never get anyone good popping up on the hookups page... actually i don't think i've ever seen anyone i know.
but then i almost never go to the hookups page, so maybe that has something to do with it.

I want to keep track of your journal when you do update.
SUPER jittery tonight. it's a combo of having consumed nothing but four cups of coffee (I've managed to go through pretty much all of my gorceries and as I am leaving in less than a week, I don't want to buy more...all I have left is some baby carrots, tomatos, a can of soup, and a large tin of really good Chicory Coffee) and the...

You know, when I pictured you serenading me, that is NOT what I had in mind.

Infinity kisses for you, Volkov.

well the weeekend went better than I really expected it to. The very notion of my dad's side of the family all packed into a summer condo on the beach sounded like a recipie for disaster, but minor squabbling and annoyance aside, the weekend wasn't a total shambles.
it's funny. my mother's side of the family is much larger and much more close knit than...

Oh, and I'm such a dork that I have the tape memorized. When I saw the show, I was doing most of the steps with my feet. 
woodstock:
Hehehehehe. I was thinking the same thing about how we would never be able to fit all of that onto a shirt when I read your next sentence. Thanks for the advice. I think right now I am leaning towards just letting it ride its course and we will see where it goes from there.
So it's 8 days till you go to Louisiana, right? Not until you leave for Iraq?

Off to splend an obligatory weekend with the extended family. Supposed to involve going down to the lovely Texas coast and go out on a boat and entice aquatic animals to impale their faces on hooks.
I don't mind fishing, really. it's usually( when not surrounded by 4 year old cousins and squabbling family members) peaceful, and I often eat what I catch. but I...

You couldn't hate me if I kicked you in the nads. (Okay, maybe for a minute) but you know I wouldn't do that to you.

Sounds like an excellent evening...
FYI - I really, really feel good when I read your journals. I don't know why and I have probably said this before - but I like reading about you, and I like hearing what you have to say, and I love the way you say it.
Anyway - have a good one

Teeheehee!
the birthday was...hellacious.
I finally gave the bike shop the ultimatum and they took it to heart and had my bike ready before I had to leave for Austin on Friday for drill. So I got on and took off for Austin. It was a good drive up. not too much wind or traffic. even had some clear spots where I could open her up...

The cats prefer to sleep in beds that also have humans for warmth.

I had a great time last night! I was about to go to sleep and realized I forgot to leave you a note.
Thanks for letting us stay at your place. Your roommate is so hilarious, and I want to marry Noch.
Of course, it was wonderful to see you, too. I will e-mail you so we can keep in touch.
Hope you're having a pleasant rest-of-your-weekend!

Time speeds up the closer it gets to leaving. like something wound tight let go.

trying to balance time with needed working and getting things together and seeing the friends I want to see and the family that wants to see me. It makes it more difficult that I have two sides of family who are not willing to be in the same room...
