once more with feeling…

so yeah lol, i’m sitting here watching the buffy episode from season 6 that was a musical, titled once more with feeling… i’m thinking it would be a neat musical for a highschool group to do.. last year a highschool in our area did the wizard of oz, they were fantastic… malachai loves the wizard of oz, she cried because we couldn’t watch it again lol! i’m going to have to get her tickets to wicked if that’s still touring… (mental note to look that up!)

not a whole lot going on here tonight, we spent the day at flea markets and a few yard sales.. found me a few pair of jeans… and a bonus is that they were all brand new and i paid $5 for all three of them… love bargins like that. i can’t wait until may 15, there is this huge community sale up in German Village… we go every year. It’s like this huge event, with food vendors, are vendors and everything is cheap…well relativly cheap.. depends on what it is and where you go.. we’ve got a pretty good path we stick to… malachai loves it, but she gets tired of walking real quick…and she’s getting too big for a stroller… i think we are taking the wagon this year for her…that or seeing if she can stay with her friend ally that day… or spend the weekend with her grandma (mark’s mom)..

so after we came home, her friend ally came over, we went to the park, came home and had movie night… lol cloudy with a chance of meat balls… pretty funny .. but they started falling asleep close to the end, so we turned it off.. they are now both sleeping on the top bunk… i’m really hoping that chai doesn’t knock ally off the bed…she flips and flops all night long…

i should be doing homework, but i’m not in the mood for it…even though i know i have a paper that is due tomorrow night… but i tend to work better under pressure, so i’ll crack it out tomorrow… did the facebook thing… played farmville and cafeworld…lol they are pretty cute games… something to spend an hour or so on.. i need a break right?

i got a text message yesterday, elaine is officially stateside… but the bad news is her husband brent…. his unit shipped out like 2 weeks ago, he managed to get leave for a few weeks, but he’ll be joining his unit here soon… and she depolyed right after his last tour… so they haven’t had a whole lot of family time… such a sweet couple though… brent was one of my officially adopted soldiers through http://www.soldiersangels.com (check it out if you don’t know what it is) …we had emailed a few times while he was deployed, but mostly me and chai sending him letters and carepackages… and i had texted him around christmas to ask about the homemade cookies i sent him at christmas… didn’t want to send them again if they didn’t survive shipping… but we got to talking and he said that elaine was deployed and chai and i unofficially adopted her… so when he deploys again.. elaine is going to text me his new address…

our other soldier john is coming home in a month. he sent me the sweetest email today, telling me how much we made this deployment easier to deal with this time around and that i was his hero… such a sweet man..and while he was deployed his beautiful baby boy was born, fortunatly he was granted leave to be with his wife while she delivered TJ, but he shipped right back out after that… glad he’ll be home for a little while during TJ’s first year…

it’s got to be so hard on them being away from their familys.. i know it’s their decision to join the military, but without them, where would we be seriously? i know people don’t agree with us being there, but it’s not our soldiers faults…they are doing their jobs…following orders…we need to let them know that they are appreciated and thought of often… which gets me back on the website http://www.soldiersangels.com check it out…adopt a soldier…it doesn’t take a lot of time or $ and it lets them know we do care!

okay off that rant…for now 🙂 

back to my orginal rant, the buffy episode.. my favorite song off of it is spikes.. james marsters is absolutly dreamy (has to be the accent lol) but i looked him up online after watching this a while back and he has quite a few albums out… so does Anthony Stewart Head (Giles) .. love his too, but a complete different style from each other…

speaking of music, there’s a new artist that i’m in lust with.. Gavin DeGraw… i found him on a dvd..he did the theme song for Trisan & Isolde… looked him up and he’s got like four albums out… love his voice and his style, which is kind of  bluesy soulful … i don’t know how to explain it.. but you can find him @ http://www.gavindegraw.com and he has it set where you can listen to all his albums on the site… so that’s a plus 🙂 

well i’m really running out of things to ramble about…i guess i’m going to look at writing this paper… then head to bed…have to make breakfast in the morning… malachai has ally sleeping over and kia has mychal sleeping over…the boys requested sausage, pancakes,eggs, bacon and toast lol (and kia said he would really love to have my homemade pancakes) which means a bit of work in the morning..but i guess they are worthy of it LoL..

kia is getting ready for prom… his senior prom…he’s trying to get a horse drawn carriage to take them to the school… they have a best entrance reward… last year the winners showed up in a pepsi delivery truck lol…there was even a helicopter entrance (the school dream boat did this) …lol i find high school girls funny…they all lust after connor…and i’ll grant you he’s buff…but i spend most of the weekends with them…the boys being in kia’s room, but yanno make ’em cookies and breakfast and all that…he doesn’t even realize that he’s got a following…he’s completly blind to it… i mean i know he knows he looks good at his age…but he’s a very classy 18 year old (odd… but kia is too lol) i think the whole group of boys who come over here are that way… anyway… i said i was getting off of here…so that’s what i’ll do 😛

more later
