I came home from work... and the first thing that I hear is "Brittany Murphy's dead". Wow. There goes yet another bright and talented star. And at such a young age too. Rest In Peace Britney Murphy. I guess watching "King of the Hill" reruns will feel different for me now, even though Luanne isn't my favourite character of the show. ... |

I came home from work around 8pm-ish. I stayed home just long enough for me to check things online (emails, offlines, twitter, facebook, YIM, etc., etc.) I didn't want to leave again but I also didn't want to cook dinner especially since work was really busy and hectic today. My daughter was out with friends and my husband was home alone, watching tv. It's his day off so there wasn't any pressure on him to cook or even do chores. Even though I feel that I am at a disadvantage... what with doing all that on top of working and going to school and other activities I'm involved in. I decided to take him out to eat at a nearby restaurant. After that, we decided to go to F.Y.E. to purchase a few dvd box sets for my daughter's best friend. He's a good kid and a good friend, so I didn't mind picking out a few presents for him. And now that I am home... I don't even have the energy to watch a movie with my family, let alone converse with a few of my friends online. Matter of fact, it's taking me a long time to type this post up. I was dozing off. So... I better go over there ---->>> Sleep. |

Bah and the humbug thing
I *WAS* suppose to be at work at 6am today. But guess what? Due to sheer exhaustion last night/early this morning I set the alarm to go off at 5:30pm instead of 5:30am. Good thing about voluntarily working overtime in the weekends is that as along as I put in 7+ hours, it's all good. So I guess I'll grab something to eat and come in at 11am and stay until past 7pm. There goes spending part of saturday with my family. Oh well.... when I return home tonight, it'll be movie time and hopefully there's dinner already ready for me, if not, then it's late dinner and a movie tonight. |

One more test @8am and then it's off to work. And then after work it's chores back here at home. And then it's ... other things online. And then it's the weekend but there's still the going to work (for overtime) bit. And then, there's more work the rest of the week for me except for thursday and friday. And then.... NO MORE 'AND THEN'!!! Finally.... SLEEEEEEEP!!! |

Aaaaaah!!!
Break down of today's events consists of work (mostly spent at the holiday party in the training room), school (finals are nearly finalised), hospitals, a bunch of other stuff rolled into one but won't specify exactly what those things are (there are some things I'd like to keep to myself) and then there's this.... Alex, if you're reading this, YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT WITH ME!! Or I'll...uh... I don't know what I'll do just yet. *holds up a spoon* I can use this! Hee hee! Okay, that's the caffeine talking. I think. I need sleep or rest or something. And maybe food. Dinner sounds good right about now. |

So... SYTYCD season finale was on earlier. Did I call it or what? I knew who was leaving first and second and I knew who they were going to crown as the winner. I had fun watching it with my daughter even though we didn't see it live. We were busy grocery shopping and just being "girls". On the way home we listened to Owl City's "Fireflies" and without even planning it or talking about it, we both were singing along to the song in American Sign Language. It was so fun!I love hanging out with her! She's amazing. I rented a couple of DVDs to watch this weekend with my husband and my daughter. I rented "Inglurious Basterds" and also "The Hangover". Looking forward to watching those with them later. For now I've other things to tend to and my mind's gone astray again without so much as leaving me a forwarding address. The only thing it left me was this stupid thing to sort out (did I mention how much I truly hate finals? WSU's Math 1010 and other philosophical and deductive logic courses rank up there in the dislike/fry-my-brain category) is this problem... A total of 21 cards consisting of 4 Kings, 4 Queens, 4 Jacks, 4 Tens, 4 Nines, and 1 Joker were dealt to Alex, William, and Charles. Then all Jacks, Tens and Nines were discarded. At that point:
[1] The combined hands consisted of 4 kings, 4 queens, and 1 joker. [2] Alex had 2 cards, William had 3 cards, and Charles had 4 cards. [3] The man with the most singletons did not have the joker. [4] No man had more than 2 kings.
Who had the joker?
I think the orientation, diagram scheme and solution I drew up was incorrect. Because all that really made sense to me was that Charles cannot have had exactly two singletons unless one of them was the joker. And then, perhaps because of exhaustion and lack of sleep, all I could think of after that was, "Who had the joker? Well, I'm thinking it's Batman, of course!" Then my thoughts wandered further and pondered about the release date of Arkham Asylum 2 and if it'd be as good as the first game. See? I can't focus. And for some reason all I can think of right now is Xenogears, Playstation, brownies, and the half eaten snickerdoodle cookie sitting on top of the computer table. It's staring at me right now, (Well technically, it's not. But if it had eyes.... uh... it'd be creeping me out) mocking me, tempting me to take another bite and indulge in the cinnamon-y sugary, mmm-mmm-goodness. Ah fuck, it! *chomp* I'm gonna get me a glass of milk now. Hah. |

Holy mole-y! "So You Think You Can Dance" performance finale was just on earlier. That dance bit with Kathryn McCormick and Jakob Karr was SICK!!! It was one of the best performances on that show, it ranks up there with the "addiction" dance and the "bench" dance. I don't know who I'm gonna vote for, but for the guys, I'm stuck. I can't decide between Russell Ferguson and Jakob Karr. So I voted for the both of them. As for the girls, I like Ellenore Scott, but I also like Kathryn McCormick. Bah! Indecision! Yet another christmas party at work, this one is on thursday. I might just show up though, just to give present to the people I work with in that department. Speaking of presents.... I'm so happy I finally got both of my adopted "angels" (from The Angel Giving Tree) all taken care of. Also dropped off all the old coats, blankets and clothes we no longer use and today at The Salvation Army. I also donated to the thrift store at my work. Everytime I drive by that place, I can't help but think of Chief Master Sgt. Atticus Smith and what he said about thrift stores. The people at HAFB, the people are work with are so awesome. I shop the thrift store and the base exchange because it supports these good people and their families. Anyway, speaking of families... I think I'll finally go watch that DVR'ed episode of "Fringe" with my daughter. We haven't seen that one yet. And later on tonight? Well... I might stay up and watch other things on A&E but I think it's best for me to get some rest. I'm exhausted. Okay, okay... maybe I'll play a bit of Assassins Creed II or CoD MW2. Oh wait, no, I have to study. Gah! Damnit, what a buzz kill. I was actually enjoying the thought of relaxing and what not. Nevermind, gonna hang out with my daughter instead, see if she's up to playing a campaign with me or something. I don't know. I can't think anymore. |

Home from work.... got very little sleep. Off I go, time for school. Have I ever mentioned how much I am not looking forward to taking finals this week? Finals today, tomorrow, thursday and friday. Did I study? Hell yes. Am I prepared? Hell no. Bah! Going back to school is a very very bad idea right now. But I'm just saying that just because I'm overwhelmed at the moment and in dire need of a breather. |

Help me understand.
Dear God, I don't really understand what's going on with the world anymore.... I do thank you for the blessings you've given me and my family. We may not have much, but at least we still have a place to call home, food to nourish us and jobs to complain about. My health may not be the very best at times and it's questionable for the most part, but I'm thankful that I'm still around to enjoy life and enjoy the company of people who are a huge part of my life. Thank you for the subtle and not-so subtle reminders from you to me, to let me know that you're checking up on me and still looking out for me, despite the fact that I've not always been very nice. Thank you for blessing me with such a wonderful child and an amazing husband who loves us so very much and takes very good care of me and my child. But please, God... help me understand why there are children who yell at their parents and elders and curse at them and treat them with such disrespect. Please help me understand why people are no longer courteous and considerate to one another. Help me understand why people feel the need to put others down in order for them to feel good about themselves. Help me understand why people think that being mean to another human being is an amusing and funny thing. Help me understand why grown ups abuse children, why people hurt other people, and why people take advantage of the weak and the elderly. I don't understand why there's a lot of emphasis on material things, on money and why people lie, cheat and steal for such things. Help me understand why people complain about how miserable their life is despite having designer clothes, never having to work a single day in their life, and other people catering to their every whim. How is their life miserable compared to people who have to sleep on the cold earth, beg for their food, and drink water from a polluted stream? God, help me understand why the people of this earth do not treasure the limited resources we have on this planet. There's filth everywhere and like spoiled children, everyone's expecting someone else to clean up their mess. Help me understand why it is easier for people to make accusations and judgements without so much as finding out the truth for themselves. Help me understand why people kill in your name and say that it's fair and that it's right. Help me understand why people treat their pets much better than they treat their family, their children and ...themselves. Also, the same goes for lawns and gardens. Why do people take good care of their lawns and gardens and yet neglect the very thing that *should* mean a lot to them. Please help me understand why we no longer put that much value on life. Please, dear God, help me understand why I felt the need to do this today. But above all things, when helping me understand these things I've asked of you, please.... Please help me be understanding. I love you, goodnight. Current Mood: sad |

Had to work today. Good thing my co-worker told me about the foot of snow outside otherwise I would've been late for work today. I don't like the snow anymore. When it snows, it's when people here drive all weird and such. They don't slow down and they don't care. Today at the base, hardly any roads were plowed. So it was really bothersome just to get through the gate and then all the way past the flight line to get to my work. It was still snowing really hard at 2pm. I heard we're getting more snow. Damn, I don't want to call in sick tomorrow, but I'm really exhausted. Oh well. *shrug* |
