I DID IT! Sep 3, 2005 7:23 am Mood: hopeful, 2557 Views I bought my motorcycle yesterday! It is a monster for a beginner bike! Suzuki C50 Boulevard with an 800cc engine, fuel-injected, shaft driven.... and beautiful. The dealership loaded it into the bed of my truck... and hahahaha!!! Now I have no way to get it down. Hopefully the guy in the building next to me can help me. I'm somewhat nervous about driving it... I mean, we only got up to 20mph and 2nd gear in the safety course. I'm going to do some practicing in a big parking lot. Well, wish me luck! Cheaper gas expenses... HERE I COME!!!!!!! 9 Comments

Are you kidding me?????? Sep 1, 2005 2:19 pm Mood: aggravated, 2071 Views All I have to say is "gas prices" and you all know how I am feeling right now. Ug. But then I think about the unfortunate souls that were in the path of Katrina and I think "what is wrong with you, Sunnie?" So, I'm going to donate the price of a full tank of gas. Ya'll may not think it's much... but I drive a full-sized truck with the extra-big gas tank. Red cross and many other people will take donations to help out those in need. So, from now on... when you hear someone complaining about having to put gas in their car... just tell them, "Are you kidding me? How can you complain? At least you have a car! And a house! And fresh food! And most importantly, you have your life!" 11 Comments

Vrrrroooommmm!! Aug 27, 2005 4:25 pm Mood: excited, 2096 Views Today was my first day of motorcycle safety class. I learned how to ride a motorcycle! Yeah! Tomorrow is more practice. After the class I will be eligible to get a license and then I can buy a motorcycle of my own! Yeah! Now, I'm by no means good yet... but it's a start! 7 Comments

What??? My CATS get the bed? Aug 22, 2005 3:37 pm Mood: frustrated, 2292 Views Yes, I sleep on the couch and my cats sleep on my $2000 bed. What is wrong with that picture? I realized this morning how ridiculous this was. See, I'm living in a 1-bedroom apartment... and I need to live in a 2-bedroom. So, my bed has my electronic stuff sitting on it. Which means that I can't sleep on it. So, I've been sleeping on the couch. My cats USED to sleep with me on the couch. Now, they realized that the bed is more comfortable. Of course there is room for them on the bed. Ug... SPOILED ROTTEN CATS!!!!! (I am moving to a 2-bedroom next month.) 9 Comments

What is the point? Aug 19, 2005 8:14 pm Mood: calm, 2403 Views I just don't understand it.... So there I was, playing pool with a guy last week. It wasn't a "bar" thing... we are both in a pool league. We were both sober. I didn't flirt with him, but he was the one who approached me. And he asks me to go to dinner and a movie with him this weekend, tonight as a matter of fact. So I talked with him Wednesday and we agree that 6pm would be good. I was supposed to call him when I got home from work. I DID CALL HIM. Only got his voicemail. Left a message... and nothing. No phone call. No reason for not calling. Just stood up. What is the point of asking someone to dinner and then standing them up. I could understand if I had done something wrong... but we didn't even talk long enough for either of us to rub the other the wrong way. Weird. It didn't bother me too much, though. I watched some good TV. Had an hour long phone call with a girlfriend about her problems, which are worse than mine. Got to cuddle with Mr Smoochers and Pearly Mae. Even got a long overdue nap. The difference between him and me... I won't feel uncomfortable the next time our teams play each other in the league. He's going to feel like an idiot cuz he was too scared to call to cancel, for whatever reason. 20 Comments

I PASSED!!!!! Aug 9, 2005 5:43 am Mood: ecstatic, 3034 Views Okay, I passed my physical fitness test!!!!! I have been really worried about it for the last two weeks because it could potentially ruin my career in the Army. I am currently in a leadership school and part of the criteria for graduating is to pass the PT test. If you fail, they kick you out and you get this piece of paper that stays in your permanent professional file forever... which basically ruins your career. So, if I had failed the test... no helicopter pilot for me! BUT I PASSED!!! So I'm flying high today! Yippeee!!! My "Life" posting was in reference to this test. Thank you: Tazzy for being positive Ilsaeng for being positive Coucou for being positive Mtom for being positive Binti for being positive TNT for being positive PSC for being positive And T4T... thank you for being you!!! You always make me smile and thank god that I'm me and not you! hehehehe I'm just kidding. I had to pick on someone. Thank you for being positive, too! Kisses to all! Muah! 14 Comments

I wanted to share an experience Aug 5, 2005 2:44 pm Mood: thankful, 3066 Views First of all: I AM NOT POSTING THIS STORY TO GET ATTENTION, BUT TO SHARE A FEELING WITH MY FRIENDS. If you haven't been reading my posts, then you may misunderstand the reasons for posting this. But for those of you who share my experiences through my blog, then you know that I'm not looking for attention. Today I went to Starbuck's on the way to work. Yum yum yum. As I was chatting with the guy making my coffee, some other guy came walking by me. He looked directly at me and said, "YOU have a wonderful day and thank you so much for your service." If you've read my blog, you know I'm in the Army... and I was in uniform. This isn't the first time that it's happened. But each time I am speechless. I really don't know how to respond. Everytime I've been overcome with emotion. Oftentimes military members have a bad reputation. Back in the old days, only criminals, bad teenagers, poor, or uneducated would gravitate towards the military. It wasn't known as a place for professionals. But the military of today is changing. I am an educated person. I am in the military because it is my career. However, it is still a place for the less fortunate people (for whatever reason) to get job skills, learn life skills, etc. It really is a great place. Anyway, my point is that from day to day I think of myself as just having a job. I feel so lucky that I can be in the US Army. To know that others appreciate the sacrifices that many military servicemembers make... well that can bring tears to one's eyes. I love all people and I don't think America is any better than any other country. However, like every other person with patriotism towards their country... I am so proud to be American. I'm sure if I was French, or Korean, or Russian, that I would be proud to be so. Anyway, this is my blog... about my daily adventures. And that was today's adventure. 19 Comments

I have 2 friends. Aug 1, 2005 7:58 pm Mood: scared, 2263 Views I feel blessed to have so many friends within the KFF realm! All of you do mean something to me. However, it does become lonely when I can't have a "real-time" conversation. Lately, I have become dependant on Mr Smoochers and Pearly Mae to entertain me. I don't know how healthy this is. Even they can't talk back. I work with mostly men. The two women that I know are married and we have nothing in common. The men want to go out and pick up women. So if I were to hang out with them, I'd be cramping their style. When I first moved to TX, I went out by myself... but I only got hit on by creapy guys. So, I have to friends. Pearly Mae... Mr Smoochers... am I going to end up as one of those crazy old ladies with 30 cats... with cat poop all over the house? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 3 Comments
