Ooooo Pretty Blog!!

So I went over to Kim's house tonight to get my box for May. Every month has a theme and we do a military wife swap where we send said box to a different person. It's kind of like a present every month! Well Kim had me and it was cooking/baking. I got a cookbook holder so I'm not constantly thumbing through pages while cooking, a HOT apron (I've always wanted one...my inner housewife calls to me), a new cookbook, and little mini herbs in pots!! I'm so excited to cook with my apron on :) So Kim made me dinner and then she put together my new layout on my blog. Seriously...I wish I was that creative. It's fantastic!! So thank you Kim!
On an even better note this underway has been going pretty well. I went and played rock band over at Josh and Eric's apartment (former sailors from the Alex). I had a blast drinking and basically peeing myself because the two of them are hilarious. I started painting the guest room today and hope to finish it tomorrow. It's a super pale blue and will hopefully fit my Cape Cod beach theme.
On the most super note ever I got my acceptance package for Grad School!!!! I'm sooo psyched! I will be attending Central Connecticut State University in the Fall and getting my master's and certification in TESOL. For those that don't know TESOL stands for teaching english to speakers of other languages. Basically all the Asians that come from China to work in the casino need their kids to learn English, so I'd be working in the public schools to teach them English. I'm hoping this certification will get me in to the public school system and I could teach French as well. So yes, while I miss my Jimmy, things have been ok on the home front :)

WOOOOWWWWW that sounds so goddamn racist.

It's not racist and anyone that knows me knows that I am very much NOT racist.
The majority of the workers that come to work at Mohegan Sun are from China...I know this because I live here and I've worked at the daycare at the casino.

If you have a problem with my blog, don't read it...or at least post who you are

haha I love Anonymous posters. HILARIOUS. I'm all about saying how you feel-but... own it.

Anyway, congrats on GRAD SCHOOL! I am so PSYCHED for you.

A trip to France in our future? I'm sure those boys will be deployed at the same time again! Or at least one of them underway or something.
