			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There used to be a time in my life where I would blog every day and<br />
sometimes more than once per day.  One day I just stopped.  I&#8217;m not sure<br />
why I stopped.  For a while I wasn&#8217;t even sure why I even started.  Then<br />
something in the news caught my attention.  Geocities shut down.  Oh -Em<br />
- Gee (ocities)!!!<br />
  <br />
I didn&#8217;t actually start on Geocities.  It was&#8230; what was it?  I think<br />
it was Homestead or something.  I switched to geocities because I like<br />
their page builder better.  Ah yes, those were the days.  Black<br />
backgrounds and neon colored text scattered randomly across the page.<br />
Scrolling Marquees (Secretly I am still deeply infatuated with the<br />
Marquees)  </p>
<p>The reason I started was all because of a boy.  And suddenly I realize<br />
it sounds like I&#8217;m talking about a drug addiction.  His name was Ryan<br />
Hayward and I was madly in love with him.  Once I made a fake AIM screen<br />
name and pretended I was my cousin just to see if I could find out more<br />
about him and if he liked me.  One thing I learned is that he was a<br />
Britney Spears Fan (Gag! Although this was before she went bat shit<br />
crazy.)  I also learned he was a moron because the pictures I had been<br />
using for my &#8220;cousin&#8221; were actually of Britney Spears at a younger age.<br />
I don&#8217;t think he caught that.  I also learned he was a jerk.  He spent a<br />
lot of time talking to my &#8220;cousin&#8221; yet rarely gave me the time of day.</p>
<p>Officially I&#8217;ve been convinced he is gay, but that&#8217;s beside the point.</p>
<p>The things I miss today are the Anime layouts and high school drama<br />
blogs.  Or rather I miss being able to write about high school drama.<br />
Honestly I can&#8217;t stand reading any of it any more.  I like mommy blogs.<br />
Maybe because I am a mother and I can relate.  I don&#8217;t know.  I have<br />
also begun to spend ridiculous amounts of time reading the news.  Hello<br />
CNN, I like the new look.  This must be a sign that I am aging rapidly.</p>
<p>What does all of this mean?  First, if you&#8217;ve made it this far congrats<br />
on staying awake (and not going to another website) Second, it means a<br />
complete overhaul.   Work in progress&#8230;</p>
<p>Now if only I can shut off World of Warcraft long enough to get started.<br />
(I play a level 80 mage named Cyretemis (Sigh-yer-temissss) on Arathor.<br />
DPS LFG NE H!)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stress&#8230; The leading cause of cancer in Air Men world wide.</p>
<p>Ah, kidding of course.  I&#8217;m learning how to become a supervisor, which isnt as easy as it seams.  I&#8217;ve had my fair share of total garbage-like supervisors, and in order to not turn into one myself, I am actively putting myself through hell.</p>
<p>Theres so much more to it than you can see.  Its more stressful than you can ever imagine.</p>
<p>But thats life.  2.5 more weeks of schooling and I&#8217;ll be fully trained to be a supervisor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Six years ago I made a decision that changed my life.  On the 31st of July I will continue down that path.  I am re-enlisting.</p>
<p>if it werent for the craptacular economy I would be outprocessing and preparing myself for life as a civilian.  Instead, I am trudging anoth 6 years down this road.</p>
<p>I must admit that the military isnt what I see myself doing for the next six years.  However, I have a responcibility to my children to provide the best possible life for them.   That means I must hold my breath and endure another aching journey through military life.</p>
<p>I suppose that I could make the best out of it.  I mean I do have it much better than a lot of peoeple I know.  But its rough.  It has scarred me emotionally to the point where I can no longer express my true feelings.  I must bite my tounge and swallow my emotions.</p>
<p>I no longer take pride in my work.  I used to.  I used to glow with every accomplishement.  Now those accomplishments are meaningless.  If you work hard your entire life and never receive any thanks or appreciation, then isn&#8217;t it all a waste?  I would have recieved the same amount of gratification by doing the bare minimum.</p>
<p>This second term for me will prove exactly how I feel, that trying hard doesn&#8217;t matter because no one really cares.  I wont push myself or get stressed out.  I&#8217;ll go to work and do my job.  At the end of the day I&#8217;ll go home and love my family.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why hello there internet!  How have you been?</p>
<p>I cant remember the last time I blogged.  Its been a while, but I&#8217;ve recently had the urge to do it again.  So whats been going on in my life since we last spoke&#8230;  a lot.  I wont go into detail because, well just because theres too much.</p>
<ul>
<li>First My dad and sister moved down here.  That was in February?  I dont know.  Its nice having family close by.  I definetly missed it.</li>
<li>I became president of my squadrons booster club.  Pretty much I am in charge of all of the fundraisers we do. Honestly I have no idea what I&#8217;m doing.</li>
<li>Crystal is potty trained.  Mostly.  She still has accidents when she is too lazy to walk her happy butt to the toilet.   She is also still a very stubborn child.</li>
<li>Birthdays are coming up.  Chelsea will be 4!  Can you beleive it?  I&#8217;ll be 24 and the stubborn one will be 3.</li>
<li>I&#8217;ve been sucked into playing WOW.  My mage is 69.  I play on Arathor, her name is Cyretemis.  Look me up if you play.</li>
<li>I twitter.  I never thought I would be a twitterer but I am. </li>
</ul>
<p>Thats my life in a nut shell.  Now as for this site&#8230;  Yeah, I need a non default theme.  Lets see if I can figure out wordpress again.  Its changed a lot since the last time I used it.</p>
<p>P.S The space bar on my laptop is finicky so if my words ever run together, you&#8217;ll know why.</p>
