  <title>I should be happy it&apos;s Friday...</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/173633.html</link>
  <description>Well we made it to another weekend.  Too bad it&apos;s the last weekend I have with my husband on his mid-tour.  He heads back to Korea Monday morning, bright and early.  It&apos;s gonna suck...for a million and one different reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight we are headed out to one of our old haunts, the dawg house.  Great little tiki bar on the bayou just up the road from our house.  Beautiful view.  They even shoot a little canoon on the weekends to start out the evenings, lol.  It&apos;s 70 Degrees out right now and not a cloud in the sky...should be fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0004aceq/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0004aceq/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;239&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pretty nice, huh?  I haven&apos;t been there since the hubby left the first time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I am contemplating sneaking out of work early.  Well not a sneak...but I should stay late since the boss is out of town.  It&apos;s the last Friday I have with my hubby...so I am not going to let it go to waste.  Though I know right now he is home taking a nap, resting up for this weekend.  Must be nice.  I guess I am a trooper, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I forgot to post pictures of Little Landon and his Halloween costume this year.  He was so cute!I got him all dressed up and then I realized that something was missing...Facial hair, lol.  So I attacked him with some eyeliner, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0004b0zs/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0004b0zs/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;172&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; He&apos;s so big now!  These are supposed to be are &quot;Aaaarrrrhh&quot; faces!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I am going to go find something to do that will waste away the next hour before I am allowed to leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this weekend is fun and un-drama filled.  It should be interesting to say the least, very very very interesting...but you don&apos;t know that story yet, lol.</description>

  <title>You Can&apos;t Tell a Vet Just By Looking</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/173389.html</link>
  <description>He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carrier didn&apos;t run out of fuel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is the barroom loudmouth whose behavior is outweighed in the cosmic scales by four hours of unparalleled bravery near the 38th Parallel in Korea. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is the nurse who fought against futility in Da Nang and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is the POW who left one person and came back another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is the drill instructor who has never been in combat, but has saved countless lives by turning no-accounts into Marines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is the parade-riding legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is the white-haired guy bagging groceries at the supermarket, aggravatingly slow, who helped liberate a Nazi death camp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A vet is an ordinary and extraordinary human being — someone who offered his life&apos;s vital years in the service of his country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness, and nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known.  We will never be able to repay the debt of gratitude we owe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;—Author Unknown—</description>

  <title>Halloween Pics for my friends and my stalker, lol.</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/173166.html</link>
  <description>Halloween was a blast this year.  Probably one of my top three ever, lol.  We actually went out Friday night and Saturday night, which means my pricey costume actually got some real use. Warning...we are quite drunk in all of these and can not be held responsible for our actions.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our little gang at the start of the night.  The beer wench and her beers, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00042zp6/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00042zp6/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;219&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, folk.  Jesus likes beer and beer wenches&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00043hb5/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00043hb5/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;182&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He&apos;s alive...barely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00044ctc/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00044ctc/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;194&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly...this is my Mother-in-law. She can&apos;t handle what I drink, lol. I had to delete the others.  Yes. That. Bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00045045/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00045045/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;189&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s a love/love relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/000461qg/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/000461qg/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;188&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dirty. lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00047hsx/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00047hsx/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;168&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poor Amish guy, that will teach him to go into a bar!  Sinner!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00048dsy/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00048dsy/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;242&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting a little frisky with Franky&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00049sg4/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00049sg4/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;196&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>Only a second to spare...</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/172986.html</link>
  <description>So the hubby is home.  It&apos;s great!  He leaves in a week though :( I can already feel a melt down coming on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some shit hit the fan this weekend.  Not that I or the husband or the other person involved can even remember it since we were all very very drunk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I may or may not elaborate.  Right now I am beyond pissed about it.  Just another joy of people who don&apos;t give a shit about you till there is some kind of drama to entertain them enough into being interested in your welfare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuck all the assholes who didn&apos;t give me a second glance while my husband was gone and I desperate for a friend.  Fuck them for fucking over one of the few that I did have. I hate that there is nothing I can do about it. I hate that I will have to take a big step back from it all and I will be alone again just to keep rumors at bay.  FML.</description>

  <title>Even closer now....</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/172545.html</link>
  <description>Well this is officially the longest day ever.  I&apos;ve only been awake for 3 hours and it already seems like it&apos;s been days.  Blarg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was so dumb last night.  I got invited out to eat with friends that turned into some pool shooting and bullshitting and drinking.  Yeah.  No bed for me till 2:30am.  One of them even convinced me to call him to wake him up at 6am so he wouldn&apos;t be late for work.  Yeah, so not a lot of sleep for me.  It&apos;s probably for the best though since my hubby will be completely beat when he gets in.  I am sure me bouncing around like a crazy person won&apos;t help much.  SO if I am a zombie too...well then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a cup of coffee with my name on it.  I just have to stand up and get it, which I can&apos;t do while typing.  One last thing....found this redhead quote today and I liked it:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;Nobody who has known a redhead can say that redheads are tame. Even shy redheads have a burning spark of adventure inside them. Opinionated, hotheaded, logical, loyal, friendly, reserved, whatever the redheads&apos; personality, you can bet they&apos;ll have SCADS of it!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;-Review of The Redhead Encyclopedia&lt;/i&gt;</description>

  <title>So close...</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/172410.html</link>
  <description>So my hubby will be here in a day and a few hours.  I can&apos;t wait.  Like I seeeriously can&apos;t wait.  Ugghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Trying not to rip out my hair.  Sad huh?  I just chatted with him online and he&apos;s leaving for the airport as I type this.  Yah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also....For my &quot;Live Journal Stalker&quot;, we need to figure out this mystery.  Okay...I need to figure it out.  No more lists of Ex&apos;s.  So we used to date...did we &quot;Date&quot; as in boyfriend/girlfriend or did we &quot;Date&quot; for a night or two? LOL.  I hate not knowing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Jason&apos;s Aunt died yesterday.  That was a suprise for everyone.  She just collapsed at a church meeting and never woke up again.  She was only 59.  We are really going to try to get to NY for the funeral but it&apos;s on Thursday morning....so it&apos;s going to be quite a push. I wish I was better at this emotional stuff.  I wanted to be the comforting one but sadly...I suck at it.  Poop.</description>

  <title>Hello, weekend.</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/172264.html</link>
  <description>We meet again!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Going out with some friends tonight.  We are going down to one of the bars on the beach so now I actually have to go out looking like a girl.  This could be interesting for me.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe I should wear the heels I just bought, that way I can attempt to break them in, lol.  Let&apos;s just say though...I really don&apos;t think most heels can be broken in...they either feel good or they don&apos;t.  The ones I just got felt great in the store.  Let&apos;s see how that goes after I wear them for a few hours.  I think I will be putting an extra pair of flip-flops in my car, lol.  Just in case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahhh....down to the last hour at work.  This makes me a very happy girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too bad I have to go get an oil change done on the car...boring!</description>

  <title>I got it!!!</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/171815.html</link>
  <description>So I got my Halloween costume in the mail last week.  I was nervous...but it fits!  It fits really well too!  The little petticoat that goes under it is adorable and so are the stockings with their little bows.  Now I just have to find a pair of shoes.  Everyone says Mary Janes are the way to go.  I am torn between flats and heels.  I don&apos;t want to be a whole foot taller than my husband nor do I want to attempt to stumble around a bar in a short skirt and heels on, lol.  It could turn out bad for everyone...   Then again, flats never make your legs look sexy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00041gd5/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00041gd5/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;149&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I even got a cute little purse that looks like a big frosty cup of beer.  It should make for an interesting Halloween.  I wish we could find a place to go and dress up the other night of Halloween weekend.  Who knows though, maybe it will work out.  I am going to have to wear this dress for a couple of years to make up for the cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my husband comes home in 5 more days.  It doesn&apos;t even seem possible.  Not that time has flown, it hasn&apos;t.... I have just got so used to him not being there that I can&apos;t even fathom him laying in our bed next to me or being on the couch when I get home or calling me during the day just to say.  Ahhhh!  It&apos;s seriously screwing with my brain to think this is something that I used to have and it&apos;s something I will get to enjoy again in under a week.  I have just putting it off....better not to think of those things because those things make life just drag by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly I will probably be drunk this whole weekend even though I should be doing chores and getting the last of the little things done.  Alcohol will make the weekend fly.  Housework will not.</description>

  <title>Hi there, Friday....</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/171551.html</link>
  <description>Ahhhh...it&apos;s finally Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The week was easy but Landon goes to Mam-ma&apos;s for the weekend and I have been waiting for a month for this weekend.  That means I don&apos;t have a curfew and I don&apos;t have to pay a babysitter.  I can just go out, be drunk, have fun and sleep it off in the morning, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also have a wedding to attend this weekend.  I am mostly excited because I will get to wear a dress for a little bit and some heels.  I will have to change before the reception.  I don&apos;t like to mix booze and dresses too often, sooner or later there will be an accident, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This day is dragging though.  I need to find some mind numbing task that just takes up every second of this day till 3pm.  Blarg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I should get back to work or back to my lack of work to do here.  I&apos;m starting to get a headache too...that&apos;s never a good thing.</description>

  <description>Well I finally bought my halloween costume the other day.  I usually make something and it&apos;s usually very unusual or funny.  I went a different route this year.  I wanted to enjoy my new size and I got something sexy.  I am nervous as hell about wearing it but at the same time I can&apos;t wait!  Here&apos;s some pictures of my halloween costumes over the years and the last one is my costume for this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pimpy Longstongings....and of course one of my Ho&apos;s&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003w12y/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003w12y/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turner and Hoochie - The S&amp;M Police&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003xe9d/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003xe9d/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;253&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was actually the dude cop again...It&apos;s was too good of a costume not to wear twice...anyway, I lived in a different state by then, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003yqb2/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003yqb2/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;210&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wilma Flinstone....Uh, duh.  It&apos;s actually my second time being her, but different states! lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0002ysap/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0002ysap/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;252&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this year??? You got it, a beer wench, oh la la.  My hubby is actually going as a beer so it just seemed fitting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003zd23/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003zd23/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;180&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0004042h/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0004042h/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So right now I am not sure what will be more awkward.  Me in a dress, me in a short dress, me in heels, the fact that I am already an inch taller than my husband without heels, it will be cold in NY or that I will be in a bar drunk...wearing that thing, lol.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m going to go find a treadmill now.  Later.</description>

  <title>Keep it up!</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/171237.html</link>
  <description>It&apos;s so much easier to update if I do it everyday or well...maybe every few days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went out on Friday with a few friends.  That actually was a lot of fun.  What wasn&apos;t fun was going to sleep at 7am and getting up at 10am.  Ugghhh....Let&apos;s just say I took a couple cat naps through out the day and then crashed at 8pm that night and didn&apos;t wake up on Sunday till almost noon.  Yeah, a little bummish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have such a busy week.  I have to file all of Landon&apos;s Adoption paperwork so I can get a new birth certificate and social security card. When that&apos;s done I can get the child support and military stuff out of the way.  Now I just have to find a spare moment to get to all these places without missing too much work or other obligations.  Ughh...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to get back into my running this week.  I have been slacking so bad in that area.  It was nice to take a break though, and I still lost weight.  I have finally made it to 60lbs lost.  I just hate looking at my Nike+ account and seeing that it&apos;s been weeks since I completed a run.  Today will be my first day back on the treadmill or if the weather is nice (doubtful) I will hit up the track.  I plan on kicking my ass, which means a two mile run for me at a moderate pace.  We&apos;ll see how it goes, I&apos;ll be suprised if I make it past a mile, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still can&apos;t decide what I want to be for Halloween.  I am torn between funny or Slutty, lol.  I&apos;ve lost enough weight that I could actually wear something sexy and get away with it.  Just not sure what it is I should be wearing.  My old group of NY buddies and I will be visiting our old haunt of Watertown, NY.  We are going to attempt an 80&apos;s theme.  We&apos;ll have to see how that goes, lol.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I should get off here and back to work.  Later.</description>

  <title>Trying to keep busy....</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/170769.html</link>
  <description>So I&apos;ve made a few new friends. Lucky me...they just barely meet my husbands approval.  He likes his friends and I like them too but they aren&apos;t there for me.  My new ones are.  I am sure the only reason he approves is because I&apos;m not a huge mess like I was awhile back.  Normally I would try to do what I think makes him happy...but I can&apos;t and I think even if he asked me not to hang out with them, I still would.  Just because they fill a big void that I haven&apos;t been able to fill since Jason left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yesterday I went and played Ultimate Frisbee with my new friends.  It was really fun and really tiring.  It&apos;s a lot like football with frisbee...except you can&apos;t tackle and you can&apos;t run with the frisbee once you catch it.  I thought I was going to suck because I can&apos;t remember the last time I threw or caught one.  I did okay.  I won&apos;t give myself much more than that since I was playing with a bunch of very athletic guys.  I did score a goal though!!! Woot! I figure I will keep going back, it&apos;s good exercise and I get to hang out with my friends and meet new ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally found a couple of racket ball partners as well.  I had been searching forever for someone that I knew that played.  I couldn&apos;t find a soul.  Then they just fell into my lap.  I will be going and playing against Tommy today. I am sure to get my ass whooped.  He&apos;s one of those athletic boys, though I may squeak out at least one win, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the weather has been absolutely perfect the last few days here in Florida.  It&apos;s finally feeling like fall.  Nothing better than a sunny day around 75% with a light warm breeze.  It kind of makes me upset that I am sitting inside looking at it...but not out in it!  Ten more minutes and I am out of here thougha and then I can go finally enjoy it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Less than three weeks till the hubby is home.  I can&apos;t wait!</description>

  <title>Not much to say but I&apos;ll try to squeak something out</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/170676.html</link>
  <description>So the hubby comes home for mid-tour in 3 weeks.  I can&apos;t believe it&apos;s so close.  I think it&apos;s going to be so strange to have him back in our house again.  I can&apos;t even picture it, right now.  In fact, I don&apos;t think my brain is really comprehending how soon he will be home or I think that I would be feeling a lot more excited.  That&apos;s me though, I never get my hopes up...anything can happen.  I&apos;ll be excited when his plane lands and I can see him coming down the hall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m not feeling so emotional this week as I have the last few.  Thank goodness.  I felt like a flippin mutant, totally not myself.  I&apos;ve made a few friends over the last couple of weeks.  One of them I would put them right at the top of my list of favorite people in Panama City.  The only thing that sucks, is he&apos;s a guy.  Yes...I have had my share of guy best buds but my husband is far away.  I know my husband trusts me completely but I hate even giving an impression to him or anyone else.  I guess it helps that it is one of my husband&apos;s troops who just got here from Korea.  I guess I don&apos;t care what everyone thinks.  The guy is fun and it&apos;s nice to have someone in this damn town to talk to.  Everyone else here is so stuck on themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm...what else.  I lost my voice this week.  It sucks.  At least it doesn&apos;t effect my typing, right?</description>

We put more on the top so it blended more with my others and he put more white in the flowers so they would pop out more. I will be adding to this again...just not sure when.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, that&apos;s really all, lol.</description>

  <title>Way toooo long!</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/170071.html</link>
  <description>I had to actually go look at my journal page to see what I wrote about last.  It&apos;s been a long time since I wrote.  SOOOO much has happened!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I went to Korea for two weeks to see my husband.  It was really great!  I had a wonderful time, met lots of new people, drank lots and lots of Soju and of course got to enjoy my husband.  We decided while I was there that I needed to come back again...so I will be making another trip to Korea in January.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003hz69/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003hz69/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;283&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Us hanging out :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003ke38/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003ke38/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;238&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My all time favorite shirt...that no one listens too, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahhh, so my little munchkin finally started Kindergarten.  He&apos;s gotten so big!  My first live journal post was made a couple of weeks before I found out I was pregnant....Funny huh?&lt;br /&gt;So far he likes it, but I figured he would since he&apos;s been doing preschool for the last two years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003pww9/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003pww9/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm...what else?  My sister Autumn came down from NY to visit for a week.  She brought my new niece Ella.  It&apos;s was nice to have some company.  It&apos;s really lonely without Jason around.  We had a bunch of fun while she was here.  I even convinced my mom and my sister Amanda to come into town for Labor day weekend.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003qz18/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003qz18/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;173&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Landon and his newest cousin, Ella&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003r6z7/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003r6z7/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me and my sisters out having a drink&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003s296/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003s296/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karoke Time with Autumn!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All and all it&apos;s been pretty busy time since I&apos;ve gotten back from Korea.  I have kept all of my 50lbs off and have actually dropped 3 more.  8 more pounds and I will be at my first major goal!  I can&apos;t wait! I had to slow down though.  All the dieting and working out non-stop and trying to run the household without my hubby around to help was getting super duper stressful.  &lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been just a tad crazy this past month.  Very emotional, angry, depressed.  Definitely not me at all.  I am still unsure how to get myself out of this emotional slump.  Every little thing now that goes wrong is such a big thing to me now, I seriously have a major breakdown every few days.  I know it&apos;s stress...and missing my husband but I just can&apos;t seem to make it go away.  Blah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that&apos;s all for now.  I&apos;ve left you plenty to read and look at, lol.  Till next time.</description>

  <title>Almost there!!!!</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/169869.html</link>
  <description>Well Well.  I can&apos;t even remember what I posted last.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it&apos;s finally coming down to the wire.  I have three more days till I get on a plane and head out to Korea to see my hubby.  I can&apos;t wait.  This has been a really long 4 months for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My exercise and Diet are still going well.  I have dropped another 4lbs since the end of the contest.  I am glad that I have really gotten into a routine these last 3 months because of it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really feel like I am starting to accomplish so much with my exersize.  I finally ran my first mile outside on a track.  I ran the whole thing...maybe nothing for some of you...but I had never done that. Ever.  A couple of days ago I ran my first mile and half. Another first!  Yesterday, I ran my first mile in under 10 minutes.  That was huge for me too!!!   I have always said that I hate to run...but I think I might be changing my mind.  I really look forward to the things I will be able to accomplish if I just keep pushing myself little by little at the gym.  I walked by a flyer for a 5k run the other day and actually considered signing up and giving it a go for shits and giggles. The only thing that stopped me was that I would be out of the country at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning as I was getting ready for work, I decided that for fun I would try on my goal jeans.  (these are jeans I never thought I would wear again...for the plain fact that they fit me before I had a baby)  Well guess what???!!!  They fit me, not that...&quot;I&apos;m just lucky to button them&quot; but that I could actually put them on and wear them out into public.  That is such a great feeling.  I have not fit into these jeans since 2002.  You do the math.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003gcs9/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003gcs9/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  My first 14&apos;s!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all it&apos;s been a pretty good week.  A lot of good firsts.  Next week I will be with my husband and that&apos;s awesome too!!!</description>

  <title>I DID IT!!   I DID IT!!</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/169512.html</link>
  <description>So yesterday was our final weigh in for the weigh loss competion I have been doing for the last three months.  I knew that I had hit their goal which was 30 pounds in three months but my personal goal was 50.  Guess what?  I did it!!!  I hit it right on the nose.  I really thought I would be pound or two off.  I know that shouldn&apos;t matter but it was important to me.  They also remeasured us. They did our measurments the first day and hadn&apos;t since so I was most excited about finding out how many inches I had lost.  Well once they did all the limbs and such they added up everything and I had lost 32.5 inches all together.  That is crazy!!!  I am really happy with my progress.  I&apos;m not done but at least now I feel like I am getting somewhere.  12 more days and I am on my way to Korea to see my husband!  He hasn&apos;t seen me this light before, so I am really looking forward to watching his mouth drop at the airport.  I am posting the before and after shot they took of me.  Well it&apos;s gym time, peace out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003exk5/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003exk5/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;180&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003f2y5/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003f2y5/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;180&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>It&apos;s getting soooo close!</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/169336.html</link>
  <description>Well Tuesday evening is my final weigh-in for the contest I am in.  I already beat their goal...but I am working really hard to get to my personal goal of 50lbs lost.  I am at 46lbs lost....it&apos;s just 4 pounds away and I hope I can do it!  Screw that...I know I can do it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My trip to Korea is finally getting closer.  It&apos;s two and half weeks away.  I really can&apos;t wait.  I am looking forward to just relaxing...letting all the stresses melt away while I am in the arms of my bestfriend and husband.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a pretty hard week this week.  I found out that a couple of my friends were talking about me behind my back.  It shocked me and really hurt me.  These people will not be people that I will associate with anymore if I can help it.  I don&apos;t play that way and I don&apos;t expect people I call me friends to either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I should get off here and back to work.  We just got a shipment in that looks like it went through a meat grinder.  Fun.</description>

  <title>We&apos;re getting somewhere...slowly</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/169003.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;m trying a little harder to post more often but it seems as my life gets busier it gets harder to post more often, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally am sitting down to my lunch.  I am not happy about it at all.  Not only is it 3pm (way too late for lunch) but also my cottage cheese was frozen and the tomatoes that I bought this morning from the farmers market suck!!!!! Tragically I have to eat it anyway because I am not fond of passing out on treadmills...sounds like it would hurt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My diet is going well still...or I guess you could say my lifestyle changed.  I have loosened up a little on the diet part.  Nothing bad...but I let myself have a taste now and again.  I am down to 41 pounds lost.  I am officially the skinniest I have ever been since before I had my son.  It feels pretty good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21 more days till I head off to see my husband in Korea.  I can&apos;t wait.  I miss him terribly and all joking aside...I really need sex.  hahahha.  Don&apos;t give the line about the toys.  That&apos;s like wanting a expensive glass of wine and someone tossing you a raisin and a bottle of water and telling you to make due. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003d790/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003d790/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;158&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m actually almost ten pounds lighter...but that&apos;s the newest photo of my slim down.  I really hope I can hit the 50 pound mark by the time I see my husband.  I think I can, I think I can!</description>

  <description>So it&apos;s one of those days again.  When the all the little stresses of life finally build up to me having some kind of meltdown. They are coming a lot more often now.  In fact, I did fine the first two months that Jason was gone...now, not so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I seriously want to scream or pull my hair out, hide in a dark corner....something.  The fact that I can&apos;t really do any of those things or worse is making me feel very trapped and quite frankly...crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone said that this year would fly by and before I knew it he would be home.  Yeah, well nothing has flown by...in fact every week that passes, I feel worse and worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my head, when he left, I figured that all my &quot;so called&quot; friends would keep me so busy with life that I wouldn&apos;t have a moment to pause to think about the time.  All the &quot;we&apos;ll do dinner&quot; or &quot;we&apos;ll hang out&quot; &quot;movie nights&quot; &quot;swimming&quot;  none of those things have happened.  I understand, people/friends have lives too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m just tired.  I don&apos;t know what to do or how to feel.  I love my husband so much but at the same time I just want to strangle him for leaving me alone here for a year.</description>

  <title>Life goes on as usual....</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/168520.html</link>
  <description>So I am still in my weightloss contest.  We have a litte under a month to go.  I already hit my goal....so I guess I will be winning this thing.  I am actually about 3lbs off of 40lbs lost.  I wish I would get to that mini-goal already, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I will be going to South Korea in August to see Jason for two weeks.  Let&apos;s keep our fingers crossed that they wait to have a nuclear war after Jason and I are safe and sound back home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I am getting rid of our dog Piper.  I am pretty sad about it, but it&apos;s just so much money to take her to England with her.  Also, I suck at running a whole house without my spouse and she takes a lot of work.  I know I will be able to find a nice loving family who love her and give her all the attention that she needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmmm....what else?  Not much else is new.  Been really busy and hating it.</description>

  <title>So it&apos;s done</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/168393.html</link>
  <description>So my tattoo is finally done.  It&apos;s still a tad bit itchy but that should be all finished soon.  This one hurt a bit more than the ones on my neck and shoulders...so I may put off a new one for some time, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003c0cq/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003c0cq/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;221&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Saturday was my birthday.  I was pretty bummed about it.  We had to shoot in LTC&apos;s(APA Pool league championships for Las Vegas) from 9am till after Midnight. It was a really tiring day...and no one wanted to go out afterwards and celebrate. I also didn&apos;t have Jason with me, which super sucked.  LTC&apos;s two years ago was when we first met :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am doing pretty good with him gone.  I miss him so terribly much.  I try not to think to hard about him....because then I start to cry and me crying seems to freak people out.  I can&apos;t wait for it to be October so we can be together again.</description>

  <title>So very long....</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/167958.html</link>
  <description>Well life has been a whirl wind!   Jason has been gone now for a month and half.  I can&apos;t say that it&apos;s gotten any easier...but I know I will make it.  I am torn between staying busy all the time and having all the time in the world to do nothing.  I really just want the time to fly!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my weightloss is going well.  I have in the last month lost 15lbs.  I am halfway to my goal and that is always a good thing.  I have been going to the gym/trainer 5 days a week.  I have been really trying to work out on the weekends as well but I really enjoy not having to do anything when I finally get to Saturday.  Again, the busy vs. not busy thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Landon is doing great.  He had his preschool graduation the other day.  They grow up so fast...I remember my first journal entry about him on December 23rd 2003.  I announced that I was pregnant.  Now, in a few months he will be heading off to the big boy world of kindergarden.  It&apos;s crazy.  Here&apos;s a few pictures from the last month....he&apos;s getting so big!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003861c/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003861c/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fun at Crooked Island Beach&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00039w71/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/00039w71/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;219&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me and my little man&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003a4yp/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003a4yp/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;177&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When did he start growing up?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that&apos;s a few to start.  I realized I have a million pictures to share on here.  I just have been slacking off so much when it comes to anything that isn&apos;t work related or working out...I&apos;m pooped by the time I get home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well tomorrow I go to have my tattoo finished.  I had the outline done and now I am going to go get the color.  I am really excited...well except the pain part.  I will have to say that part of my back is not too happy when it comes to being stabbed, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003bwx5/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/rdhded/pic/0003bwx5/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;136&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I should get back to work.  I have a long three day weekend ahead of me...that is probably going to make me more tired instead of relaxed...heh.</description>

  <title>Now I&apos;m not so sure....</title>
  <author>carrotop13@yahoo.com</author>  <link>http://rdhded.livejournal.com/167902.html</link>
  <description>Okay...so my friends page still hasn&apos;t updated?  That is shocking!!!  It&apos;s been two weeks now.  I usually see 3 to 4 posts a day.  Crazy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I got a new tattoo.  It&apos;s not done though.  It&apos;s just the outline because it&apos;s pretty big right now.  It goes from my shoulder blade(down one side of my back)to my lower back right above my crack...lol. So far it&apos;s looking really good.  I go in a month to go get the color done.  You will have to wait till then to get pictures.  I really don&apos;t have any type of talent when it comes to getting a picture of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ummm....what else?  Not much really.  Been working out a ton...everyday.  In fact that&apos;s where I will be headed in about an hour. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I am tired of typing for today.  Maybe I will do a better job of updating when I feel more like it.</description>

  <description>Well we are back to another Monday....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&apos;s make that Thursday now.  I guess I never finished that last post, lol.&lt;br /&gt;So it looks like things are going a bit slow this week on Live journal.  I haven&apos;t had a new post on my friends page since the 16th.  That or my page is broken, lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I started a contest on the Radio.  They are sponsoring a weighloss challenge.  They are paying for the dietician and the private personal trainer.  I have to lose 30lbs in 90 days or they take something special from me.  I will keep the exact thing I could lose a secret for a little while longer.  I started my diet this morning along with exercise.  The diet really sucks but of course I will stick to it...well because I have no other choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jason is doing good.  We had our one month anniversary a few days ago.  I didn&apos;t even realize it until yesterday.  I suck.  I know.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So life is going well, if not boring and a tad bit lonely.  I have tons to do and I don&apos;t seem to have enough time or motivation to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So did I mention that I am taking Landon to Disney for his birthday this year?  I&apos;m excited. I have actually never been myself.  I figure he will be turning five...and that&apos;s a good age to go.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well it&apos;s time to blow this popsicle stand. I have to head off to the gym to workout.  Should be a blast! :(</description>
