Situational ADD?

Procrastination is horrible, ugh! Usually I have a slow start on my Hilltop Times articles, but this week's are just...bad somehow. I think it is because most of them didn't have much information or quotes. Not much to work with.

Actually, the one I'm working on now has an inundation of information and maybe one quote. Still difficult. Quotes are great because they break up the information and add personal interest! Must have more!

Anyway, everything is moving along OK this week. We've got most of our stuff packed--there's a huge mound of boxes against the wall. Tomorrow is Ross's last day of ALS plus his parents are coming over. Thursday he graduates, and Friday we get legally married. Woohoo!

Ross also found out today that he will be headed to Afghanistan. I would have preferred Korea, but he prefers Afgh. because he feels he will have more of a purpose there. I can understand that.

I also decided I will be retaking my AFOQT early next year. Time to brush up on those crazy high school math skills. It was never my strong suit, so this will be difficult and challenging.

Guess I better start forcing myself to write these articles. :)

Wrenches

So I believe I've written about Ross deploying. Well, now he's gotten orders to go to Korea, as well. At the same time.

It made me laugh a bit, because it seems even the government can be super disorganized. Well, I guess that is a given for most people, because it seems that anyone I talk to isn't surprised when the words "government" and "disorganized" pop up in the same sentence. Can you imagine what a thorough cleaning out and organizational "treatment" would do to this country?

It seems, however, that his original deployment to Afghanistan will take precedence. Goodbye, dreams of traveling abroad. Oh well, it is his career, not mine. I just hope he comes back to me safe and sound.

Speaking of coming back, he proposed last weekend. . .with a Ring Pop! Cherry flavored, of course. I said yes. We are getting legally married on the 18th and plan to have the ceremony when he returns from deployment, probably around Thanksgiving of next year. What a lot of planning I get to do. It will definitely keep me busy.

Along with wedding planning, I am also trying to put myself out there more and apply for more jobs. I love working for the Hilltop Times, but I really need a full-time occupation to keep myself busy. I also need friends. Sounds depressing, but since I moved here I really haven't managed to meet anyone that I would call and hang out with, yet. Sure, I've met some great people, but I don't feel that close, yet. Got to work on that.

Well, back to working on le resume.
