Weekend Review

    Saturday, was the girl scout Masquerade Ball. The girls were all dressed up, masks and all, and they all looked SO GREAT! :). I think they had a good time too; most of them didn't want to leave hehe. Guess we did good, huh? The event was from 2 to 4 (pm of course). So it's not lunch, and it's not dinner...what does one do? Snacks and decorating cookies of course! I was helping at that station, so an apron was a MUST haha. We had four different stations, craft (you get your picture taken, then you make a frame for it), cookie decorating, makeup (with temporary tattoos there as well) and dancing. They learned the Popcorn dance...I think that's what it's called anyway. At the end they performed the dance they learned and there was a mask contest. It was so much fun! :)

No I did not make the mask...I bought it hehe. It was so cheap and so pretty, how could I pass it up? :p
    After the Masquerade Ball,  I went to my husband's Captain's house to have a meeting about the FRG's (Family Readiness Group's) Christmas Party. I volunteered to help with that, as did my dear friend Jessica, as my last hoorah before we leave. I LOVE planning things and I LOVE Christmas, so naturally I had to help. It was fun to get together with Jessica and two other woman and eat, chat, and plan, but it made for a long day. When I finally got home, I was so tired.
    Sunday, I relaxed and cleaned the apartment. Later, I went over to Jessica's to have some girl time before the guys come home. hehe.
    Monday and today, I ran errands, and am preparing the apartment for Tyler's arrival. Also had a fun lunch today with my neighbor/friend Casey hehe. So ready to have Tyler home! About damn time in fact. ha.
How's everybody else doing?

A Weekend Review

"Pink it´s my new obsession
Pink it´s not even a question
Pink on the lips of your lover, ´cause
Pink is the love you discover ..."

Speaking of Pink, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. As if you didn't know...haha. Saturday morning, I did a 5k Breast Cancer Fun Run on post with some of my friends/neighbors. I'm so glad that I did it. Sure I walked the whole way, but it was still fun to do...and it supports a great cause. Not to get too sentimental or anything, but my mom had breast cancer, so this hits close to home. No worries, she is fine now (after chemo, radiation, a bilateral mastectomy, reconstructive sugary... ya know).

Now, let's head back to Friday. Friday night, I attended a Pure Romance Party. Now, I have been to Passion parties before, but not Pure Romance. Don't get me wrong, they're the same thing...just different companies. It was so much fun! Also, Army wives are crazy! haha ;p. But if you think about it, we're left alone all the time for trainings, deployments, etc. I think you'd be a little crazy too, if ya know what I mean. There was lots of food, drinks, talking (it's all girls of course there's talking hahaha), I drank half a bottle of wine (whoops)...all in all a very fun time...the perfect girls night in fact. And don't you worry, I was fine the next morning to the Breast Cancer Fun Run. :p

Sunday, I took it easy. I watched some TV/movies, I folded laundry, cleaned a little and took two walks. One was just me and the iPod...always nice, and the other, I drove to a friend's house, who lives about 8 minutes or so away and we walked with her neighbor who is trying to learn English. It was very interesting. There are so many pretty places to walk around here; I'm really going to miss that. 

Today, Monday, I've been kind of lazy. I did go downtown with a neighbor and her daughter to help her find clothes, now I need to work on getting stuff done for the girl scout event this weekend. AH! Can't believe the Masquerade Ball is almost here!

How was everyone else's weekend?
Are you doing anything this month for breast cancer awareness?
Have you ever been to a passion or pure romance party?

Happy Monday Friends :)

Friday, Friday...Gotta Get Down on Friday....

And now you all have the Rebbecca Black song stuck in your head like I do almost every Friday since that horrid fun song came out. Muwhahaha. If you don't know what I'm talking, well where have you been these past couple months?! Unfortunately, her record company has removed all of the videos from youtube, so you will just have to do a search yourself :).

Anyway! Wednesday, Tyler comes home from work and says, "I have to jump tomorrow. Ugh." (For those of you who don't know what that means, he's airborne, so he has to jump out of airplanes every now and then to keep in practice.)
Me: "Oh really? What time do you have to be there?"
Tyler: "12:30."
Me: "wait...as in AM??"
Tyler: "Yup."
Me: "WHAT?! Go take a nap!"
Tyler: "I don't think I can. And besides, that may make it worse."
Ugh! So early! So, we stayed up, had a late dinner and watched TV. I did not go to bed until he left because I thought it would be too mean if I went to bed haha. He had to get there so early because they were having a morning jump, but did that happen of course not. He didn't jump until like 4:30 that evening. Then, he didn't get home until 11:30/12 that night. He looked wrecked. It was bad. But, good news, he got some sleep while he was there, and didn't have to be in to work until 1 today :).

Yesterday was kind of a girls day/night. I went to the lake with 3 of my lovely neighbors (plus one baby and puppy) and just walked around, chatted and ate at the cafe there. After going home to relax and clean, that evening, we went to base to have dinner and drinks. Two other girls joined for this round. :) Then, we went back to our apaartment and had some more drinks/conversation until the guys got back from jumping. It was a really fun night with the girls! It was a nice change in pace too; we're definitely going to need to do this more often. *note to self...I need to take more pictures of these events!*

"Yesterday was Thursday (Thursday), to-to-day is Friday (Friday). We we we so excited...we so excited..." Ok, that's enough.
But yes, it is Friday. I got some recycling done, planning dinner, got a good workout in this morning...who knows what tonight and this weekend may bring! Happy Friday everyone :)
