Gooooooooood Morning DU!!!!!

[BlondieK143]

:hug:

How is everyone this F-I-N-E, G-R-E-A-T, B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L morning?!? Well, I'm.... excited. Can ya tell? Would appreciate your good thoughts this morning as I'm flying by myself for the first time. The last time I flew was 5 years ago with my aunt, and needless to say, I'm a little nervous. Hope you all have an AWESOME day! :donut: So tell me, what's up??

[Champ]

1. Mixed emotions

I'm :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: because I won't see you for 4 days, plus if I decide to go I won't be able to see you for a month. :evilfrown:

but at the sametime

I am :D :D :D :D :D :D for you because you get to see your man.

Don't worry, planes are one of the safest means of transportation out there. :hug: It rained for the first time last night in two months! :bounce: How are you doing?

[BlondieK143]

3. Look at it this way....

It's only 4 days. :) Besides, I'm sure you'll have other DUers to keep you busy. When will you decide if you're going to go to your dad's or not?? If you end up leaving before I get back, just drop me an e-mail.

And thanks. :) I'm glad I get to see him too. hehe. Man, you should be here then. That's all it's done for the past week. I can't stand anymore rain! Other than that, I'm PEACHY! How are you??

[Champ]

7. I'm doing good

It's wierd, everything seems different, I seen her last night briefly when she drove by in her truck. That was the first time since the other day when she drove through my apartment complex like a crazy person to get to her friends house. She was all over the sidewalk and grass. It was a site to see, something you don't see everyday.

Good luck and what will you be doing this weekend? Gonna catch a movie? You know that one that has been generating alot of buzz? :)

[BlondieK143]

9. That's interesting.

Was she drunk or something?? That's really weird. Hope things work out for you.

Not sure what we'll be doing. Probably hanging out most of the weekend. The guys in his barracks are really fun so we'll probably be partying with them and the rest of the time, taking it easy I suppose. And I think I'll stay away from that movie with him. I mean, he's a marine, he has to deal with being shipped out and more stuff than I can imagine. We don't talk about politics much. But I have plans to see it with my aunt on Monday or sometime.

[Champ]

14. she wasn't

She can be funny like that. She is really cool though and smart, I recently found out she signed up for courses at the same school. I was in the park and next thing I see is a big truck turning the corner and driving on the sidewalk towards her friends house. Me and 4 of my friends who were all standing around were like :wtf:

That sounds great, what did you do yesturday? Have any fun? :)

[BlondieK143]

18. Well I'm glad she wasn't hurt.

That's not cool! :) Have you talked to her anymore lately?

Um, laundry, went to the mall, packed, went to eat, that's pretty much it. It was a good time. What about you?

[Champ]

21. I haven't talked to her since Sunday

I seen her tear the apartments on Monday. Seen her last night when she drove by, she said hi, and I yelled hi back. Don't know if that considers as talking :shrug:

Not much, I worked out went swimming. Stayed inside most of the day, when I heard the wind blowing I looked outside and it looked like it was about ready to rain. I decided to play basketball in the rain and did pretty good, scored 22 points. :D I seen my friend who I haven't seen since the other day, not for long though that was also when I seen her drive by. Sorry about the long post.

[BlondieK143]

22. No big deal.

Post away. Not a problem for me. It gives me something to do (work is slow right now).

Glad you had fun yesterday! I wish I could play basketball, I tend to really suck. Did you play in high school?

[Champ]

29. Sure thing

Not at all, I did play for a YMCA team. The only sport I played in high school was football and that was in 9th grade during that period of 6 months I spent in Flagstaff. (I did really good imo that year)It sucks how things went down and I had to move back down. Then when I was down here I practiced with my local high school, I practiced in a 110+ heat during the summer with padding on. I took as many water breaks as I could, plus the coaches were sucked everything out of what was fun in football. Plus the coaching style didn't showcase recievers very much, they run the ball 35+ times a game. Then after that semester I transfered to this high school in Tempe, I spoke with the athletic director and he told me I couldn't play for them the next season because I practiced with another high school team the previous year. So basically I would have to wait til I was a senior to be eligible but grades were slipping and dropped out before my junior year. Did you do any activities in high school? Again sorry for the long post.

[BlondieK143]

32. That really sucks.

But you never know what can happen with college and stuff. Good luck with it though. I'm sure if you keep it up, you'll go far if it's something you really want to pursue.

I was the club kid in high school. Annual staff, BETA club, Science club, Outdoor club, Spanish club, Y-TEENS, etc. Many, many more. Not a sports person, but I definitely had my people skills lined up.

[Champ]

37. Thanks

It's something I want to pursue mostly because I don't want to regret not putting a last ditch effort later down in life. But I missed out on alot of valuable coaching and game experience.

That's great, I wish I could've been in some clubs. Which one was your favorite?

[BlondieK143]

38. I totally understand.

I mean, we only get one chance to live and if you don't ever try something, how will you know whether or not you could've been great at that? lol. Hence why I want to try to play tennis and golf at least once (I know I'll suck, but it's the point of it all).

My favorite was probably Annual Staff. I take pictures ALL the damn time and that was a way for me to get to take more and make awesome pages with them.

[Champ]

41. Speaking of Tennis...

My mom from her youth up to when she was 18 played Tennis, she won lots of tournaments. She has a box with atleast 50 trophies. There were times where she got accepted to a men's tournament, and she won that. I believe she was even regional champ, she went to tournaments all over, Las Vegas, Cotton Bowl in Dallas, all over the Rocky Mountain region. She was actually friends with Andre Agassi's older sister, she remembers when she saw him as just a kid. I swear to god, my grandpa even saved newspaper clipings. She even had an article of her in 17 magazine. Thing is when she turned 18 and left the house she quit, because my grandpa worked her hard (hitting balls back and forth from dawn to dusk) ever since she was big enough to carry a racket. She tells me she never liked playing.

Taking pictures is fun, I actually did take a video camera class when I was 12. That was really fun! We were doing plays and stuff and it was fun acting in front of a camera.

[BlondieK143]

42. That's awesome!

That is really impressive. It sucks that she didn't like playing though. :(

Video cameras are fun! I completely know what you mean about wanting to be in front of the camera! I think we were both hams! :D

[Champ]

45. Exactly

It was fun because we were writing scenes and acting them out, we learned a few tricks. Basically we had alot of opportunities to be creative. It was really fun.

[BlondieK143]

46. That's cool!

So what are your plans for today?

[Champ]

47. Hmm...

Going to hit the weights after you leave, take a shower and getting some sleep. I stayed up so I can catch you before you left on your trip. :) As soon as I wake up I'll probaly take another shower and look for a friend of mine and we'll see what goes on from there. What are you doing today?

[BlondieK143]

48. Awesome!

Glad you stayed around to talk to me before I left. Ya gotta make sure someone does the AM thread tomorrow, k? :) I'll be back Monday!

Sounds like an eventful day, don't work too hard! I get in about 3 so after that, we're going to chill for awhile and probably just take it easy tonight. He has to give a uniform inspection tomorrow.

[Champ]

51. I sure will

I can take over like I've done in the past, but I won't get 1/4 the replies you usually get. :) I know but I'm still gonna miss you though :( Also have to make a decision by Saturday and if I leave, I won't be able to see you for month.

That sounds great, do you know what kind of security to expect when you get to the airport?

[BlondieK143]

53. Hang in there.

Just go with your gut. I'm sure there are both pros and cons to either decision. Just do what's best for you. And I'll be back before you know it. Monday isn't THAT far away! :D

I know that I had to switch tongue rings. The metal would set off the detector. :D Um, basically I'm not taking any chances on anything so I have nothing remotely sharp in my carry on and I'm prepared for my bag to be searched. I'm sure it won't be THAT bad though.

[Champ]

56. I will

94 Hours seems like alot.
What time do you take off?

You never know, they may feel like that you have to give you several body cavity searches just to make sure your safe ;) (kidding)

[BlondieK143]

58. Hmmm... maybe I wouldn't oppose that!!!

(KIDDING!!!)

Plane takes off at 12:20 eastern. *crossing fingers* I have the worst luck ever so I'm just hoping I don't get delayed or some random stuff like that.

Trust me, I'll be back soon. Man the fort while i'm gone. :hug:

[Champ]

61. That would be 9:20 this time

Oh and I know how that is, sometimes I feel I have the worst luck ever.

I know you will and I will, thought it won't be same without you. :hug:

[BlondieK143]

63. I'll see you Monday.

Have a great weekend and remember - listen to what your heart is telling you.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[Champ]

65. You too!!

:pals:

I'm listening but all I hear is the same beat ;)

lol I know what you mean. I will.

Cya!! Have a safe trip! :hug:

[Political_Junkie]

2. Good morning

Looks like I missed some big news while I was away. You sound very excited, Blondie.

[BlondieK143]

4. Hey!

Glad to see you made it back to us this morning! Where ya been buddy?

Nothing too late breaking, I just get to go see my man for 4 days! :D

[Political_Junkie]

5. That is good news.

I've had to work early for the last three days, next week too, so I haven't been able to be here for the morning edition. Missed you guys, though. :hug:

[BlondieK143]

6. Glad you're here this morning!

Hope you haven't been working too hard lately! And we missed you here as well! :hug:

[Political_Junkie]

10. Haven't been working hard at all,

except the extra early mornings, yuck.
Are you nervous about the flight? Don't be, my very first time on a plane was alone and it was great. No one to bug you while your enjoying the view.

[BlondieK143]

13. That's good.

I know how the early morning thing is. I personally like having more hours in the afternoon to spend my time.

Nervous? You bet your ass. :( I'm more like freaking out. But I think I'll be fine once I get in the air. My luck though, well... let's just say oh how the irony would be. :shrug:

[Political_Junkie]

23. You'll be fine.

Once you get up there, you'll be wondering what you were nervous so about.
Anyway, have a great time. If you'll be gone for four days, then I won't talk to you until this time next week, because I'm working the early mornings Monday thru Wednesday again.
Don't worry yourself too much. Gotta go...
:hug:

[BlondieK143]

25. Thank you!!

Hope to see you next week - have a great week! :hug:

[Guy_Montag]

8. Hi sweetie,

Glad everything is going well, don't be too nervous. :hug:

Enjoy your trip, we want all the juicy details when you get back. (Well not all of them, just the ones that you bring up in polite coversation).

[BlondieK143]

11. Hi!!

Glad you came by this morning, it wouldn't be the same if I didn't get to say goodbye to you! :D

And if you want details... I MIGHT be able to work on spilling some! :) What are your plans for the weekend?

[Guy_Montag]

24. Not much...

I might go home to see my folks, but it depends how I feel & what the weather's like.

Nothing as exciting as you!! :D

[BlondieK143]

26. Sounds like fun!

How far away from you are they? It would give you something to do. :)

In the grand scheme of things it's not THAT big of a deal. I'm just uber excited I suppose. :D

[Guaranteed]

12. Mornin' Blondie.

Have a couple drinks, you'll do great.

Planes are fun. Look out the window, watch everything rushing past and getting smaller. Look out at the horizon. It's beautiful.

I been up all night, as usual. :P

[BlondieK143]

15. You insomniac!!

:D But it's good to hear from you nonetheless! Hope you won't have a too strenuous day considering you haven't been to sleep yet.

And I wish I could get a few drinks in, but that whole underage thing gets in the way! :D

[Guaranteed]

16. Nuh uh...you're underage?

But you seem so wise and mature...;)

Of course young-at-heart, too, so I believe it.

[BlondieK143]

17. Is that a compliment?

:D Because I took it as one.

Normally that doesn't really stop me, but considering I'm flying and I'm already spastic, I don't think that's too good of an idea.

[Guaranteed]

19. But of course!

You've got the best of both worlds, baby!

[BlondieK143]

20. Amen!

:D Shouldn't you be snuggling up in bed right about now?

[Guaranteed]

27. Well, now that my girlfriend is waking up,

she'd be offended if I went to bed.

I like to keep her company in the morning, make her some coffee, chat. I usually go to sleep sometime after she leaves for work...tee hee! Besides, she needs a good kick in the butt to get going...we have a little ritual where I look at the clock and say "Get movin'!" to remind her that she's gotta get dressed to leave...she loves it, apparently. :)

[BlondieK143]

28. Awww!! How cute!!

And sure you just sit up with her and drink coffee. :eyes: I'm not buyin' it!

How long have you two been together?

[Guaranteed]

30. Hmmm...well I moved in with her about 10 months ago, here in IL

I'm actually from California. We met on the internet...I guess it would be....almost 2 1/2 years ago? Wow....LOL. Yeah, I think that's right. Moved out here in August of last year. She's great, takes excellent care of me. I figure the least I can do is make her coffee in the mornin', tell her to get movin'.

[BlondieK143]

34. That's really awesome.

I love hearing long distance things working out. It's really pretty damn inspiring. And especially considering that you guys met on the internet too. Glad to see you met a wonderful girl, you totally deserve one! :hug:

[Oggy]

31. Have an amazing weekend.

Think about why you are flying and the adrenalin will keep you good. I hope being a DUer hasn't got you on any proscribed lists ;-)

Good luck. :bounce:

I'm off to nurse my stress headache.:-( :toast:

[BlondieK143]

33. Awww I'm sorry!

:( Feel better soon!! :hug:

And thanks for the good thoughts, I really appreciate it! :D See you in 4 days!!

[Oggy]

39. Stress headache

I think it will keep coming back until I go holiday :-)

[BlondieK143]

40. lol

Yeah, I'm guessing that would make it go away!

[Oggy]

43. Tomorrow and Monday

will be dull on DU (I normally have the weekend off). Can you not log on even for minute.......



Only joking ( about getting you to log on, not the dullness ), you will busy being happy. Hooray.

[BlondieK143]

44. I would

But I'm not sure of anywhere on base that has computer access that I would be allowed to use. Trust me, I'll give details Monday morning! :D I'll be back just in time for this lovely thread with you lovely people. :hug: Don't worry, I'm sure you won't miss me TOO much.

[tsakshaug]

35. good morning

hope your trip goes well
I just flew home last night around midnight

[BlondieK143]

36. Good to see you!!!

Hope you had an awesome trip!!! :hug: Glad that you're back.

And thank you!

[Brewman_Jax]

49. G'day, Blondie!

:hug: I'm sure that you're all packed and ready to go.

I'll be fun. You can do it, you're a big girl, now.

Only suggestion I can offer is: take some water with you.

Another quiet day in the office, business lunch later. Hopefully the rains will stay away for the rest of the week and weekend so I can practice soccer and watch the home game tomorrow.

[BlondieK143]

50. HEY!

Glad you made it! I was worried I wouldn't get to say bye before I left! :(

Yep. All packed and ready. Have to leave work in an hour then I'm headed to get a light breakfast and then I'm off to the airport!

I have my big quart of Evian all ready to do! :D Hope that you have an awesome weekend, full of soccer and no rain! :hug:

[Brewman_Jax]

52. Thanks!

:hi:

Had to see you off on your trip--couldn't miss it. I think I pulled a muscle in my mid-back, along the lower edge of my ribs. I shouldn't have done that extra set of tricep dips. (2 sets of 6 reps, in case you're wondering) If the muscle doesn't feel better by the time I return home, it's gonna be a light training day. Maybe card tricks, after taichi. :D

[BlondieK143]

54. Awww! I'm sorry!

:hug: When I get back, if it's still sore, your massage will be my first priority! :( Hope you feel better soon though.

Give yourself a break! DAMN! You work so hard you make me tired THINKING about it!

[Brewman_Jax]

67. 'Sokay

You've got a short plane trip and a Marine looking forward to seeing you and a fun weekend planned. Hopefully spent with modern conveniences and good weather. Go forth and party!

I'll be fine. I need to work on my card tricks and do housework anyway. Thanks for thinking about this old man. ;-)

[BlondieK143]

70. You're not an old man.

You're a bright, funny, intelligent, cute man who makes my mornings! :D

Have a great weekend and I'll talk to you on Monday! :hug: :hug: :hug:

[Brewman_Jax]

71. Have fun!

You're too kind!

Have fun and enjoy your trip. See you on Monday! :hug:

[Parrcrow]

55. Good Morning Blondie

Bring a book. Flights are usually just boring. Its always a good time to read.:donut:

[BlondieK143]

57. Gotcha!

I decided to leave my copy of "Dude, Where's My County?" at home, thinking that they'd probably suspect me as a terrorist so I opted for "The Vagina Monologues" instead. :D And good to see ya this morning!

[Parrcrow]

59. Its always good to see you cheerful in the morning Blondie

The Vagina Monologues.....good idea.

Try to get a male at security. He'll avert his eyes blush and not want to look through your stuff.

heh heh heh:hi:

[BlondieK143]

60. hahaha

That's okay, he'll just have to overlook the whips, fuzzy cuffs. KIDDING. I think he'll be alright.

(and it's always a pleasure when you come by in the AM). See you Monday morning!!! Have a great weekend! :hug:

[Parrcrow]

66. I will

You have a good weekend too. Fly safe.:pals:

[EstimatedProphet]

62. Flying is fun

Remember that when you're in the airport, which is not fun.

[BlondieK143]

64. lol I'll keep that in mind!

Thanks!! :)

[Guaranteed]

68. You always have the BEST threads, Blondie.

Seriously. You're the greatest. A frickin' treasure of DU.

:headbang: Right on!

[BlondieK143]

69. Awww

The only reason my threads are what they are is because I have amazing people like you commenting on them. I don't do anything, you all are the ones that make my mornings great! :hug: :hug: :hug: (But the compliments are VERY much appreciated. Don't get them too often).
