I just wanted to say happy Mother's Day to all the moms on my flist. :) I hope you all have a wonderful day.

This I actually cried a little when I watched this the first time.

My SGT gave me a memorandum stating I'm authorized to wear the physical fitness excellent badge. He also handed me a badge he purchased for me. :) I'll have to get it sewn onto my uniform this weekend.


Soldiers must score at least a 90% in each event to qualify for the badge.

Get up at 0510

Go home at 0730
Arrive at 0745-0800
Feed Cats!, Shower, pull hair back into bun, put on ACU's, eat breakfast, check email

This quote is so true. I think that this is what causes about 95% of the arguments my husband and I have.
"I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

I just received about 4 emails entitled either Re:Valentine or FWD:Valentine. Several of the people I got it from I don't usually get emails from. Anyone know if this is a virus? I'm afraid to open them and take a look.

Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.


I STARED AT YOU

i've got my things packed
where has that old friend gone
i linger in the doorway
one time one world two times one love

long lost words whisper slowly to me
step out the door and it feels like rain
i've tried to kill the pain
dear mr. president come take a walk with me

i hate feeling like this
this time it's colder now
i lie here paralytic inside this soul
i've tried to paint you a picture

mama never said it would be like this
nobody knows, nobody knows but me
lazy old day, rolling away
tonight i'm so alone, this sorrow takes a hold

dance all night, dance all night
you don't remember me, but i remember you
here am i just another goodbye
pilgrim how you journeyed
