Watch out, Germany!

Here comes the soldier boy!
Papers are through! signed off! all done! hooooraaaaaaaaaaaay!
he has to be out of Schofield, August 10th!
Off to Grafenwoehr, Germany.

He called me, around 11:30pm - so excited he could hardly talk! it was so sweet!
I was out at a little gettogether at the US consulate - at the Marine house…  (was very cool - met the new Marines who’ve recently arrived - what a sweet bunch of guys!) - so i was awake.
I hope he went out to celebrate last night (i haven’t heard from him… no messages on IM or anything)
he’s not awake yet, and it’s nearly 9:30…

I’m so happy for him - what a relief!

a reason

the other side of africa… ine of the reasons i love my country… (just not the people)

living in africa

last night, i was actually scared.

haven’t felt like that in a long time…

the point was driven home, about where i live, and that i must never forget it.

T.I.A.

This is Africa.

I’ve got to watch myself… not forget where I am.

Didn’t sleep.

and didn’t hear from the boy either… but he was out partying with his friends, so i didn’t expect to…

could have done with a call though… just to hear him saying it would be alright…

i kept the dogs close, the cat close, the panic button even closer…

so even if the sun is shining this afternoon - i’m going back to the house when L leaves for the day (she has to go see her brother in hospital)…

sorry horses…

at least my dogs got a walk today! yesterday was just terrible, and although Mish doesn’t mind the rain, i’m QUITE sure Molly and Mack would have something to say about being bucketed down on!

and it was COLD!!!

Today is pretty darn cold too - but just very windy (that icy SE wind that comes in off the South Pole)

no internet access (don’t know why, because i can get onto the wireless network.. just can’t seem to get out into the wilds of the internet) at the house, but that’s ok, because it means i might get some work done!

I’ve also got letters to write! more of them!

i did “recruit” two more people to the S.A … one just wants to write letters, the other wants to “adopt”…

Anyhoo… hopefully my WP wasn’t hacked - hopefully i upgraded to 2.5.1 in time!

I deleted the two people who “registered” - sorry if you were legitimate (i don’t think you were…) but i’m not taking any chances…

papers please…

i get a call at 3:30am - so excited he couldn’t wait to tell me

his papers are 90% through division (just the commander has to sign them now) and he is off to Germany.

he leaves in 2, maybe 3 months.

Carmen goes with, via ship.

right.

in touch

ok… the boy explained (as best he could) the situation regarding his various dates and things that are happening or could happen… so i’m a little more up to date…

still a big chance i won’t get to see him until he gets back from his deployment…

but I am taking it day by day… no point in getting knickers in a knot about something that is not in my hands

as long as i have him, in whatever form it takes, then i will be ok.

_obviously_ i want to be with him… but he’s worth the wait.

and i can wait.

he sent me flowers.

i’ve never been so touched in my life.

i’ve never ever gotten flowers (or anything) like that. delivered to my gate.

the driver laughed and said ” i can see that it was totally unexpected!” and i just nodded… mouth open… looking like a nana…

big grin after that…

they smell so lovely! and inca lilies! my favourite!

welcome to uncertainty…

and now the Army have decided to mess the boy around AGAIN.
He might be going July 15th?!?

So he said i should hold off on buying that ticket….

2nd May and he said wait.
WHAT NOW??!!?!?!

if he goes, in July… and i don’t get to be with him.
it will be a YEAR. A YEAR, PEOPLE!!!!

A year before i see him.
a year in IRAQ!!!!
Come on Universe. help me. give a girl a chance. give a boy a chance.
help us.

i’m being strong.

But it’s hard. and he is not ready to go again. it’s too soon.

burning out and hurry up and wait…

it can’t go unspoken…

cried.

smiled.

cried some more.

that’s what you get for falling in love with a soldier.

Thanks Lizzie Palmer.

more haste, less speed

ok.
so the boy’s deployment details have changed radically.
he’s no longer going to Germany first (from august)..
he is now, apparently, just going with a unit, straight from Hawaii, back to Iraq. September or November.

So now.
i HAVE to get to Hawaii.
I was hoping to go to Germany in September (as it’s way cheaper to get a ticket… about half the price of a ticket to Hawaii) but now that’s not an option.

So Hawaii here I come.
I just have to do it.

So. I need money.
urgenly, and in large amounts.

i’m working my ass off, but every little bit helps.

so please buy my art.
also - any suggestions on how to get some relatively easy money, quickly, would be appreciated.

i’m going to be sending some stock photos in to iStock… since the new camera is so spiffy she makes everything look good, and the quality is superb.

HELP. STOP.
SEND MONEY.
STOP.
I NEED TO FLY.
STOP.

do intros count as a track?

i was given a mission

this mission was track #9

so.. counting the intro, it’s one song

but NOT counting the intro, it’s another

both songs are equally funky with super beats and awesome lyrics…

so now i have to wait to see which one was meant!

but either way, i’m smiling. from ear to ear.

thank you baby.
