So I won an award

I’ve won two awards since I’ve been in the military – two. In my career field we have little opportunity to rub shoulders with any of the big wigs and we are always seperated by a fence and a large distance from the rest of the base so we are often ignored. In fact, [...]

Numbers

663- The number of days it’s been since John and I started dating

1 – The number of Carats of the perfect solitaire engagement ring John gave me

545 – The number of days until we take the vow to spend the rest of our lives together

Last night John decided that we should [...]

Even Supreme Court Justices get bored

I caught this link to a decision from Chief Justice John Roberts that was written in noir style.

Officer Sean Devlin, Narcotics Strike Force, was working the morning shift. Undercover surveillance. The neighborhood? Tough as a three­ dollar steak. Devlin knew. Five years on the beat, nine months with the Strike Force. He’d made [...]

Sleep

Sleep has been a mysterious vixen that I have been unable to catch. She has evaded me at every turn and has thwarted my every attempt to catch her. For the past few weeks I have been unable to sleep through the night.

Two nights ago I finally caught that bitch and tied her [...]

Leaving

Leaving her behind was one of the hardest things I’ve done in years. We left for the airport early this morning and quickly found out that my original flight plan was not going to work. Instead of flying through Denver to get to Baltimore we flew direct to Dulles and took a cab to [...]

Boxing your life up

Everything must go – its got to get into a box of some sort – nothing can be left behind. I’ve taken my life with me but I always leave something behind. This time around I’m leaving boxes and furniture but there is something more that I am leaving behind. This time, I’m leaving [...]
