I love visits!

My Mom and Sister came to visit me for the weekend =o)

They just left a few hours ago, we had fun....chit chatted, went shopping, got pictures taken and i took them to see the Lake Rim and the woodsy park by my house(Lake Rim Park) =0)





we got Lucy a halloween costume, she wouldn't stay still for me to take her picture!

Snoop is wearing Lucy's other costume my mom brought her, it just didn't fit her...too small

we took a few more pictures, but mom has them on her camera, i have to wait till she get home to upload them on her computer grrr. i can wait :0)

i'll upload some more pic later, and maybe blog a little more....i'm too tired right now.

idiots.

why do people feel the need to compete?

specially over something so small?

if you have a problem with how certain events have turned out, don't write a email putting down the other person....because you never know where that email could end up.

I'm done being nice, next time as you so much mention me, or imply something about me...you are going to hear it.

I've been holding back out of respect

but it is obvious you don't respect anyone

..and so its that time of year again...

i feel so old...this is why

yesterday i hear my phone going off, i had a text message from Nichole and this is how it went:

Nichole: whats your last name?

Claudia: Pac----

Nichole: k

Claudia: why?

Nichole: i put you as an emergency contact

Claudia: for you or your kids?

Nichole: kids

Claudia: Okie, i fee like such a grown up now

Nichole: Lol funny

then later on that night i find out I'm one of Heide's emergency contact numbers for her alarm system

when did i become the person to contact in case of emergencies? when did i become so reliable and so responsible? I'm not saying it i don't like it or that its a bad thing but i just don't know when it happened. when did i go from being a carefree teen to a grown up? I'm old....

deployment number 2- Sean is leaving soon and its going to suck so bad
I'm staying in fayetteville this time, with Lucy. i have a few friends here in Nc now so it wont suck too bad i don't think (hopefully) plus i also have my job which I'm liking so far and enjoying

i just don't want him going anywhere, i don't want to have to be apart from him, it seems like he just got back from his last deployment and now he is leaving again.
Thankfully my Mom and Step dad are coming to visit me, also Schirm is coming to see me too (she is mainly coming because she is in love with a friend of mine lol...right Schirm?)
i think the first two weeks time will go by so slow, but once the ball gets rolling, time will fly........till about the very week when he comes back when times will slow down again to the very last minute before i see him again =o(

blogging from my phone :o)

Today I start my new job WOOHOO!!!! I'm really excited about it and at the same time i'm super nervous, I just don't know what to expect and how the people already working will take to me. Also I don't want to mess up anyone's pictures.

Today will mianly consist of getting used to the (12 lbs or so they say) camera and seeing how everything works I think so at least.....

I'm not really sure why i'm working myself up for, maybe just because the first few days are s little awkward for the newbie and the veterans. Well wish me luck, hopefully it won't be a bad day at
XOXO

Poor Baby Girl

Lucy got spayed today, it went well she's back home all drugged up. she is not allowed to go outside to play, run around or any of that fun stuff for the next 10 days

no shower, no playing in the pool, no swiming NOTHING. she has to take pills for 3 days to keep her from hurting to bad i guess, i can't wait to have her back to normal

UGH!!


I've spent most of this morning cleaning bathrooms, the kitchen and the livingroom. not because they are dirty or because we are a messy bunch of crazy monkeys, but because Sean's parents and grandma (i think her bf as well) are coming on Saturday to visit for a week. And i know no matter how spotless the house is, it probably wont be good enough.....


some other news my phone is dead! the battery died on me, i went to charge it and once i turned it on all i got was a white screen :o(

my phone is pretty old, i've had the same phone for almost two years now so i guess it was about time it went to phone heaven

well thankfully James had a phone that would work with my sim card, he had to give up his own phone for me lol (THANX JAMES!) i should be getting a new phone i think tomorrow or friday, most likely friday we'll see how that goes

Oh What a Night..... :o)

Friday was the 3/27 Alpha Battery Ball and let me just tell you, I was nowhere near being ready. No dress, no shoes, no hair style I wanted, no makeup, no backup plan, no nothing! mind you, I had known about this ball since maybe the 12th or 13th of July so I had plenty of time to get everything settled....BUT NO being me I waited until the very last minute, so here's how my Friday went down

Friday morning I had Sean wake me up as soon as he got home from PT because Heide and I were going to the mall to find me a dress, shoes, jewelry and makeup. So there I am laying in bed, dreaming about how sexy Kenny Chesney is (I wasn't really), next thing I know a giant man is jumping on the bed shouting

"WAKE UP BABE!"

"You wanted me to wake up right??" he's asking me this while still jumping all around the bed

To which I so kindly responded to with a "you motherfucker! Get off the damn bed!"

Needless to say my day did not start on the best note :0( but I did get up so his method worked :-D I get up, walk around the house for a little while and decided to sit on the sofa and pay some bills, until about 945-1000 when I texted Heide to see if she was up yet. Heide quickly replies and lets me know that as soon as I start heading over she will start to get ready so we can head out and hit the store for a little dress hunt. Once I got word I started to get ready and headed out.....
I get to Heide's (usually I just walk in) ring the doorbell, and wait on Heide to open. she greets me with a towel wrapped around her body and tells me she's pumping, this is when she forced me to watch little Chase hehe well not really forced, I really didn't mind Chase which is weird because I'm not really the first person people think of when they need someone to watch their baby. As I wait for Heide to be done (she took FOREVER) I had to feed, burp and rock Chase to keep him from completely freaking out on me. Finally she finished to we started to pack all the baby stuff we would need just in case in my car, gosh I did not know babies needed so much junk, we finally got on the road and on to the mall we were

8 minutes later we finally stepped foot at the mall, and the dress hunt began. We really only went to one store which turned out fine because that's where I found my dress. I went around the racks looking for some nice dresses, something not too dressy and not not dressy, and something that would compliment my great skin tone (lol) I picked around 10 dresses to try on. which now that I think about it was really a waste of my time to try them all on because the very first dress I put on I knew I was going to end up buying, that's just the way I am, always shave been when it comes down to dress shopping. Well I end up buying the very first dress I put on it was my favorite and Heide said it was very nice as well so it was a done deal. I check the tag and the damn thing was $128, but was down to $89.95 and down from that to $63.93 plus an extra 40% and no taxes, so in reality I only paid around 34 or maybe 38 dollars for it I can't remember now.

After finding the best dress ever we went to the shoe store to find some shoes to go with my dress and to go with Heide's dress too. She found the perfect little shoes, me not so much....I just gave up on shoes and decided I would wear w/e pair I had in my closet that mostly went with my new dress. We rushed back to the car and off to Walmart we went to find a few last minute things we couldn’t really find at the mall. Danny came and picked up Heide and Chase from Walmart so I could just go straight home shower and drive back to Heide’s to get ready.
Once I made it back to Heide’s I started with hair, I decided I wanted large curls very much like this:


Or



But there was a problem as always, my hair does not hold curls very well so I knew I was going to have to blast it with hairspray for it to even hold for more than a couple of hours, so I did! After what seemed like forever (my arms were getting tired) I finally finished and I was off to get a little makeup done by Shawn-Marie and Heide. They tag teamed me with it; Shawn-Marie did my eye shadow, mascara and eyeliner. Heide did the foundation and she brushed my eyebrows w/e that’s about lol. Anyway by the time us girls were done, we were already running late by 20 or 30 minutes :0P
Well enough about the day here are some pictures of the night :o) enjoy!

New Blog, New Camera and Someone Cheated...


Well here is my new blog....pretty spiffy if you ask me
sure does beat my myspace blog , so here we go :)

I received my new digital camera yesterday, Nikon CoolPix S550, and as of right now i really don't like it one bit.i like the features it offers, size, shape, weight but it has its kinks. The focus is a little bit off, no matter how many times you focus when it comes to you snapping your image it will someone focus on whats behind it. The pictures aren't as clear as i thought they would be (seeing how its a 10mp camera) they are actually a little grainy. i was truly expecting more from them.
a little history: i own a Nikon D40X, my first ever digital SLR and i love it.


now to what most have been wondering, who cheated?
Sean did! well or so he says he did
a couple of days ago Sean had his Airborne physical, i complete forgot about it but when i saw him home that morning when i woke up i thought nothing of it. until 1030 rolled around and then 1115, around 1145 he gets up from his nap, gives me a kiss, gets undressed to jump in the shower, walks back to the bathroom walks out and says:

"Oh i forgot to tell you, i cheated on you today"

to which i replied (very calmly) "you what?"

and here's where the truth comes out

"Today during my physical, a nurse came into the room touched my nuts and asked me to cough" he smiles

all i could do was just laugh and call him a dork =0)
