Moving On

So...... I'm trying to get back into the dating scene, which is proving even more complicated than I had anticipated. I was never one to be single, not for long anyways... but I know I still need time to heal from this past relationship. Anywho, I'm finding that I'm turning 99.9% of men away that try to take me out... now, that could be because more than a handful of those guys have been my friends for years, so it's just weird... I guess they're all stuck in the "friend zone"... and the rest of the guys just seem like they would be a waste of my time. Maybe I need to be more open.. I did go on a date the other night, I guess it was my first "real date" since I've been single. It went pretty well! =) ..though it was easier since he brought his kid to lighten the mood. His son was awesome and kept me laughing the whole time. So, I guess I'm looking for advice.. I've never really "dated" before. I usually have met a boy, and we both just knew it was right, and jumped into commitment.. now I'm afraid to do that. Ah well, other than that everything is going good! I've been getting out of the house with friends, and I'm losing weight! =) YAY!

Journey to Bar Harbor and Fort Knox

I went out with a couple friends on a journey through Maine. Destination: Bar Harbor Pit Stops: Cool Bridge and Fort Knox. It was a great day!

Catching Up

Well, it's been too long, so lets catch up. I finally made third at work. Thats right, I am now AE3. It's not a huge deal, nor is it much more money, but every little bit helps!


This is me getting frocked by the skipper.


I quit drinking. It was getting beyond out of hand, so I asked for help. After two weeks of treatment, I've learn to deal with my life instead of drown it with alcohol. It's been over a month since I've had a drink.



I've decided to re-enlist... but not as an AE. I'm going back to the sandbox towards the end of this year, and I'm going to re-up there, and put in for cross-rating. Hopefully by this time next year I'll be headed for a new school to begin a new rate.



Other than that I've been getting out of the house more.. I went kayaking, and to a fair, and more!

I've been tagged!

So, Jackie tagged me. Since I've been SO lazy with this blog thing I'll tell you six random things about me.

1. My second toe is as long as my pinky finger!

2. I would give up everything and live in a cardboard box before I'd get rid of my dog.

3. I sing in the car as loud as I can everywhere I go.

4. When I'm looking straight ahead I can actually see my nose.

5. When I was born the doctor thought I had heart condition, but I was holding my breath until I turned blue. Turns out I was just "obnoxious".

6. I can only find bras at stores like Victoria's Secret because my size is so "rare".
