...You keep the sunshine, save me the rain...

   First off, I'd like to brag for a second; I bought size 11 jeans the other week, and they were falling off of me the next day...Ryan asks why I never buy jeans, so I told him that's the reason! Also, I got on the Wii Fit today, and I'm down another pound since Friday morning :D I'm VERY hopeful with my weightloss right now! I just want to get back to what I was when we got married...I don't think that's too much to ask, lol...I feel so good about myself right now, that I even bought this wicked cute dress at Target the other day! I haven't worn a dress out since Ryan came home from Korea, and even then, it was only to the airport, then I changed when we got back to the house...I used to wear dresses ALL the time as a kid, til one of my best friends in 3rd grade told me I looked fat in one...I never wore a dress again for YEARS after that...Hopefully now I'll be able to wear them more often without feeling all weird about it...

   Ryan got his DD form 214 the other day in the mail...Now he can start looking around for jobs & such...I really hope there's something good out there for him...He needs something good & that he'll like...I want the next job to make up for how shitty things turned out with the Air Force...As for me, I'm hoping to get a bit of time back at Peg's, but it's hard when she doesn't really need the help...I'm REALLY trying to build my Athena's business, but it's going very slowly still...I've been offering monthly specials and whatnot, but still there's hardly anyone biting...I bought tickets to our summer conference in Rhode Island, so I'm really hoping that will help me out...We get so many awesome tips & learn so much there, that I think it's definitely worth the money to go...I'm just thankful to be close enough to make it for once; this will be my very first company conference!!! I'm super excited!!! Wendy & I will be staying in our amazing hotel room for the weekend, along with 3 other ladies...I'm very excited to make new connections with my fellow Goddesses/Adoni :D

   I'm kind of irritated lately, cause some of my military wife friends have stopped talking to me since I mentioned we were officially civilians again...Well, Ryan's a veteran, but still...I've also had other military related friends be really short with me, or even just constantly negative...Just cause I'm not a military wife anymore, doesn't mean I stop understanding what people are dealing with and/or going through...I will always tear up at the national anthem still, and cry at departure & reunion pictures...I'll never forget all the things we learned, felt & experienced while Ryan was active duty...It's just interesting how some people think they're better than us now somehow...

   Other than all that, we've been pretty good...We're loving being able to spend time with our families... Haven't done much with friends, but it's not from a lack of trying...Screw people who make plans & then blow you off...Not going there anymore though; I'm done...We're waiting to get the reimbursment for our move, and hopefully Ryan's sep. pay shortly after that...The most stressful thing right now for us is bills until one or both of us get jobs...So if I get snappy at any of you in the next few months, I'm sorry & I probably don't mean it...I do a pretty good job of avoiding people if I know I'm in a mood, but sometimes it comes on pretty quick & I can't stop myself from saying something bitchy in time...So I apologize ahead of time, lol...

   Well, that's it for now...I'm going to lay down & watch Chopped before bed...Hope you all are doing well!!!
