Halloween Fun with the Wenches!

LOL! OK... so I had a TON of fun today! I went as Josie, from Josie and Pussycats. I had about 20 people ask me if I was old enough to know who they were! (Ok... so maybe I DON'T remember the original.... but dang it I saw Re-runs!) Any my costume came out GREAT!
Also, my friend Becky and her kids were out enjoying the festivities tonight. She dressed as a Wench, (as did our friend Kim who we didn't get photos of) and her 2 daughters, Cora 5, and Cassie 21 mos, were dressed as little peasant girls. Her son Christian (7) dressed as a laundry Basket... which I thought was HYSTERICAL!
My friend Lea-ann dressed her daughter Madison (9 mos) as a Kitty cat... her and I were josie and the pussycat! *wink*

CHECK US OUT!!!

One of those days....

Well... I guess the last few days haven't really been BAD... just off. I'm not sure if it is just from me being sore after the car wreck or what... but I feel like I have been a raving Bitch these last few days. Maybe it's the meds or something. Who knows.
I think I need about 3 days off to do nothing but sleep and get lost in a really good book. I have taken leave 2 times this year already, but both times, I was running around the whole time. No real REST you know? Infact.... for the last few years it has been that way. I am drained. I don't have the energy to fight anymore.
I am concerned about going home on New Years as well.... cause I have 4 days... and in that 4 days, I want to see Dave and Heather... I kind of want to talk to Tim... but only in a PUBLIC place! *wink* And I want to see Ryane and Christina. PLUS, I have to spend time with my mom and the family. I just feel like it will be non stop again. Alas.... I want to go.
I can't wait for... what 3 day weekend do we get in November?? Oh... Veterans day... I should remember that huh? *smiles* Well... back to work... another day another dollar or something like that.

Bad week....

So, for those of you who haven't spoken to me recently, let me update you on my less that wonderful week...

Wednesday Night, I was in a car accident. (Only PARTIALLY my fault.... insurance co. claims me at 25% responsible.... not sure how that works...) Totalled my Kia (Thank goodness I wasn't in my new Durango) and has caused me a lot of muscle aches and bruises of unknown causes. (I have a bruise on my chest from the seatbelt, and also one on my hip from the seatbelt.... but I have one on my Knee *I don't remember hitting my knee* and one on my wrist.... again... NO IDEA how that happened)
The good things that came of this?
1. They are paying off my Kia... so I don't have to worry about selling it.
2. My Friend Lea-Ann was there (in a seperate car) so atleast I wasn't alone.
3. My insurance is only going up like.... $8 a month, but I get to drop the insurance on the kia... so it is actually dropping about $45 a month!
Over-all, I am ok. I will see the doctor again on Monday about my hip because i am having some problems walking and I want to make sure that it is ok before I go back to PT. On the high note, my Friend Lea-Ann has already found a house, and Dave will be home in about 80-90 days. *Jumps for Joy*
I also got a new job that I will be starting soon. Still a medic with the Army, but going to be working at the Soldier Readiness Center giving shots and de-mobilizing all of the soldiers coming home. So that should be MUCH better tha OB/GYN!

Dirty Old Men

Ok, so we all know that I have NO problem with older guys.... just look at ALL of my previous boyfriends. But tonight, was a TOTALLY different story. My friend Becky and I went out to play pool. We were playing ppol and having a good time, and this DIRTY OLD MAN would NOT stop staring at me. He even made a excuse to TOUCH me once.... saying "oops, sorry I bumped in to you". I was SO GROSSED OUT that I couldn't even play right. It was bad. I ended up leaving early. It sucked. So.... I hate dirty old men. That was the entire point of this whole post! LOL

Midnight ramblings

Ok.... so it's actually just after 1am, but at this hour who cares? Well... I do cause that means I get off work in about 6 hours. Yes.... I have Staff Duty again. And we all know what THAT means:

RANDOM THOUGHTS

First of all, for those of you non-military folks, the highest ranking enlisted person in a *normal* unit is the Command Sargeants Major (CSM) *note: There is a CSM of the Army, but only one, and has no direct contact with me.... * Well... my CSM decided that I was his bitch today. I should prbably back track a bit.
-rewind-
So I am the fundraising coordinator for the Winn Army Hosp. Holiday ball. Fun stuff. My CSM Decided that we would do a bake sale at the "Strategic Plannign Conference" that was today. (Lots of high ranking people from within the hopsital + Food = Money)So what does he do? Puts me, as the fundraising coordinator, in charge. The thing he neglected to realize was that I have Staff Duty Today.
-Fast Forward-
So I organize the bake sale. I stayed up half the night last night baking, and Reported for duty a 0600 to take the food and coffee to the conference before it started at 0730. (For those of you who don't know, Staff duty is from 0730-0730) Yeah... so I started my day an hour and a half early. Then, the CSM decided that I didn't need help... so I did it all myself.
That alone would not have been so bad, except the CSM Kept forgetting things at the hospital. I put 21 miles on the Hospital commanders van today, and the conference is just less than 2 miles from the hospital. I had to make NUMEROUS trips back and forth. So I was utterly exhausted when I finished at 1630 today. But could I go home? NO!!! Cause I have duty.
Thank GOD for good NCO's (non-commissioned officers.... Sergeants and above in the enlisted ranks) My Staff Duty NCO allowed me to go home for 4 hours and sleep. I only slept for about 2, but it made a world of difference. He is at home taking his turn now, and I am holding down the front desk of the hospital. Tired, with 6 hours to go.... but I guess a few good things came out of today.
1. Raised $200 for the Holiday ball
2. Kissed the CSM's Ass and got an "atta boy" from the Hospital Commander
3. Got to go home and SHOWER because my NCO Rocks

Alright.... I should go for now. I may write again later. Just had to share with you my hell-ish day!
Jenni----->Very sleepy

PT GOD!!!

LOL! Ok.... maybe not a "GOD"... how about PT "STUD" or macho woman? In case you haven't already guessed... I PASSED MY PT TEST!!! It was a hard test.... but I did well. I alos had a 1.5% drop in body fat! (Army standards of course) BUT WHO FREAKIN CARES! Any drop is better than none! And... i'm down to 140.5 a whole 1.5 lbs from where I started... so a little slow on that end. But it is coming off. I have tp run for now. I only have an hour to get dressed and make a mad dash to the coffee shop for my "good job" Latte'! *smiles* Progress photos this weekend!

PT Test....

Well, I haven't written in a few days. I have been busting my hump in the gym... because I have my PT Test tomorrow... So wish me Luck. Last week I was 1 sit up shy of passing.... *cries* So now I am sitting here downing a liter of Pedialyte so that I don't get dehydrated tomorrow morning... and trying to find something to take my mind off of my nerves.
Also, I know that I have WAY missed the deadline for a progress photo... but be patient. There will be one this weekend. I have only lost 1-2 lbs, but I think I have toned up a bit in a few areas.... it will get better. After this PT Test, I can focus on a more "total Body" Approach in stead of Push-ups and Sit-ups.
So be patient with me! Gotta run....
