Hubby is back in Cuba. We had a great visit which was only marred by a last minute snafu caused by me-- I bought his plane ticket a day earlier than he was leaaving and we didn't realize it until we were dropping him off to catch the plane. Let's just say I felt like a stupid little shit and was in tears during our last moments together. Sucked donkey dick.

He's going to try to come back to visit in March for my 37th birthday, which would be great.

Let's see...what could I write about that would horrify someone like, say...Plain Jane. OH YEAH. My sex life!

We have always had a good sex life but HOT DAMN did we have a great time on this visit. I can bend, twist, bounce and reach in ways I couldn't before. WOOHOO. I even managed to get my husband to walk into a sex shop with me. Now that was hilarious!

Hmmm...just realized my favoritest girl in the whole world, Cat, is probably reading this and I'm making her blush and she's going to tell on me to my son so I think I will drop that talk right now....

I start weightlifting again on October 1st. I was using sex as exercise during his visit-- I tried going to the gym with him but he didn't seem interested and Logan freaked when we left him in the playroom so I didn't try again. So I only did my walking workout twice while he was here, but we did go out quite a bit. I went back to the gym today and had little trouble with Logan once they gave him a toy to play with-- he even waved goodbye to me. So I walked an hour and it felt great. I am probably going to have to readjust some weightgoals, but I still feel pretty good about reaching my final goal well before we leave for Japan. I am still going to try to reach 125 by my birthday.

Logan is beginning to say more words. My favorite new word of his is "stinky"- which he uses for farting, pooping, or peeing. So I hear it often. He also says "grandpa
and "grandma" "welcome" "boo boo" "Go!" and he has finally started to say "no!" Logan really enjoyed having Daddy home but as we expected, he didn't even notice he that Daddy was gone today.

I'd write more but its getting late. I'll check in tomorrow.
YES I WILL.

I colored my own hair a reddish light blonde and it came out just too orangey for my taste. My mother's hairstylist, who helped me with my body perm, told us to use a medium ash blonde to lower the orange, which it did, but I was still unhappy with it, although I could have lived with it.

My mother didn't like it either and since she knew I was really displeased with it. In the sun, the copper/orange much more noticable. So mom paid for a visit to get the color that I wanted. I was sick of safe, bland coloring so I had some fun this time.
Oh yeah baby,, much more my style now.

After the initial shock of seeing it, the entire family loves the color and cut, including my very conservative parents. The cut is lower in back, longer in the front. Very versatile. AndI'm finally covering that forehead.
Hubby LOVES it. When he saw me for the first time he didn't know if I'd be a blonde bombshell or a wild redhead. First words out of his mouth when he turned and saw me in the airport, "WOW! You went really red! You look great!" Then he called me his little hottie. Then I got a really nice kiss

I'm lovin' it.


I'll post a pic of the outfit I wore to pick him up.

I'm exhausted... I have only slept 3 hours... I have him to blame!

We are headed to Atsugi, Japan! This is a very small picture of one of the military housing high-rise towers. They are exactly what we lived in while we were in Okinawa, so I'd be thrilled if we had one of those units. And check out the view of that mountain!

I'm so very, very happy and have tons to do before we leave in May.

I'm way too excited to really write a big entry ans I keep getting distracted and my brain is all over the place right now.

Need to report that I've exercised 6 days out of the last 8, which is great!

Ok, will write more when I calm down a bit!

I've been really motivated the last few days and I'm slowly getting through the house and straightening out a few things that have been bugging me, but I just never pushed myself to take care of them. It is mostly organizing closets and clearing out old paperwork. Ever tried to clean out anything with a two year old in the mix? I am feeling extremely guilty about it right now, but I have been keeping the tv on more to distract him while I do some of this. Bad mom!

I don't think I am going to see 148 by the time my husband gets home on the 11th/12th. I am glad that the scale moved and I'm past 155 pounds, I never could shake that number before I became pregnant with my daughter, so its hard to explain just how satisfying it is to finally bust past it.

I bought some hair dye and now I have reddish blonde hair. I'm not sure I like it (my mom does, surprisingly), so I might go back to blonde around Yule. I'm sure my husband will have a say in it.

Just five more days until we find out if we are headed overseas. I kid y'all not, I've been praying so hard the past few days. I'm going to be extremely upset if we don't get picked up for anything. Really, really upset. Waiting another cycle for another chance will probably have me asking for a sedative!
