Its Been Awhile....

Its been awile since my last post. I am learning first hand how hard it is to juggle life outside of the military. Friends ask me what it is like to be out of the military now. I tell them that hourly pay is alot different then salary. You have to work to get paid. As the military every two weeks, if you were at work or not, you get paid. If you want time off, you must plan it right.
Yesterday I got the chance from my boss to attend a S.A.M.E. meeting up in Port Hueneme, CA. I was to dress like a business professional. That means every girls favotire word SHOPPING! So I ended finding this really cute charcoal gray pencil skirt with pink (of course) pinstrips and pink top from Express. And at Macys I found this killer pair of heels to match. Enough with that, on to the contest...
There are now four. October 7 the winner will be announced. I am nervous. I made the decision not to raise money on my own, but to help out other people who are fundraising. I have gone to dinners, was auctioned off at a singles auction. I went for $185, and busted a shoe. For some reason every trip to downtown, I end up walking back to the car barefoot. I have been passing out flyers for many people. I used to be annoyed by those who would leave flyers under your car wiper blade. But I can no longer say anything, for that is what I have been doing. I work across the street from a Wal-Mart shopping center. Plenty of cars all day long.
I do have some pictures to post with me and the immunity pump... I call him Steve, and some of his adventures with me.
This weekend is going to be the most challenging ride to date. Back to back centuires. After going to the pizza port and some talking with the other riders there, I was convinced to do it. I have to do some crunching to get things done before heading to New York for a couple days to see my family.
