Baking bread and well into the 3rd book of the Twilight series! Mike said I was ridiculous. I just started the series day before yesterday. I CAN'T put it down.
And no offense to anyone, but I usually roll my eyes at the people that are into the whole vampire thing. Or even Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings for that matter. Its just never been something that appealed to me.
I have to say, the werewolf part sort of put it a little over the edge for me. But now I know why its all the rave. :)

Twilight
I resisted. I just never got into the Vampire thing so I just didn't see how I could possibly like the series. Well I think every person I know (or close) is in love with the series.
My dad just sent me a Kindle (isn't he the best!!!??) so I decided to give it a shot. So I downloaded the first Twilight book.
AND.
I'm hooked. Like I read the entire book in one afternoon/evening. My husband is now like "Great, my wife is into Vampires" lol
So I ordered the second book and the read the first couple of chapters before I went to bed last night.
I'm meeting a bunch of ladies for lunch today and I'm thinking that's a good thing. Get my head back into reality for a couple hours :) lol

9 months
I had a dream last night that I was 9 months pregnant. Should I be worried???? ;)
It was SO strange. I could actually "feel" the misery of being that pregnant and umm I've never been before. Definitely quite the dream.

FISH!
I woke up one morning, about a month ago, and it was brought to my attention that I needed to check out my aquarium. The entire back wall was covered in a cloud. I immediately assumed it was parasites and thought my tank was infected. THEN I quickly realized....they were babies. I have Texas Cichlids in a 55 gallon tank, and they made LOTS of babies. So I did some research and read that they lay 500-1000 eggs!! HOLY MOLY!! Well it sure looked like it.
Fast forward 1 month.
They're nesting again!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm like, NO WAY,right? So, I looked up information and couldn't find ANYTHING that said they could breed that often and that quickly.
Tonight I was trying to see if I could find the eggs just to confirm that they actually are nesting again. AND, I did. I found eggs. LOTS of them. *sigh*
Seriously. What the heck are we gonna do with 500-1000 eggs when we already have 100-200 babies in the tank!!!! I already have a deal with the pet store owner, and he only wants to buy 5-10 of them. That was before I even realized there were more coming!
So here's a few pictures. You can see the eggs and the new babies. There's a picture that gives you an idea how big the babies are now compared to the momma. The last picture is just to show you the coloring on mom and dad. They're both the same breed of fish and usually look identical. They get a lot darker when they're protecting their territory. The mom is black and white, the dad will turn black and white when the eggs hatch.
Anyone want a few fish???? :)

MIA
So I've been MIA for a few months now. I've been BUSY!!!
I had major cleaning to do at home, we had boxes and boxes (and BOXES) of stuff from our parents that we had no room for. I started sorting through all of it and realized...we just need a bigger house :) that's all there is to it :) lol
Then I headed to dad's in Washington twice, then off to Houston, Boston, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. I have all my pictures posted on facebook, so maybe once of these days (soon), I'll get some posted on here too.

Breaking Point
I've reached it. I don't know how army wives, any military wife, does it. One of my good friends from high school is going through it again for the 4th time. I just don't know how. It's only been 8 months for me and I'm at my breaking point.
I've been so incredibly emotional. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING makes me cry. I'm constantly cranky and have zero tolerance for people. I have no idea what my problem is except that I NEED my husband :( :( :(
I'm SO sick of deployment at this point and yet I know I haven't even had to endure a fraction of what other military wives have.
It HAS been a rough year. Maybe the toughest to date. But all of that seemed manageable because I knew I had to be strong for my husband. I guess having no thing or person to care for is making time drag. I can't even IMAgINE what it would be like without the dogs. I think the last 2 months might be worse than the first 2.

Slacker
So I'm a slacker and haven't posted anything on here really in forever.
I went to Washington to spend a week with my dad and brother. I've gotten lots of knitting done. Though I usually post all my knitting projects on my knitting blog listed over there --->.
Going to Texas in a couple weeks to see my bil & sil, yay!
Job search sucks, but its all good.
AND, I miss my husband :)
I know, this really sucked as a blog post! lol
