I Need Your Advice!

I am really annoyed today. T and I were planning a weekend in Big Bear, then we decided to just stay home and relax THEN his friends wanted to go camping. I like camping but to be 100% honest I am sick of hanging out with his friends. It is all we do. We NEVER do anything with mine. You may think I am exaggerating, but it is the truth. Before he deployed none of my friends ever met him. Then when he came back we went to dinner with 4 of my friends. Where he said only about two words the whole time. Anyway, last night he told me he was not going to go. That we were going to fix his truck and take care of some business. INSTEAD his friends get upset that hes not going. He tells me he wants to go. Annoyed I tell him to "freaking go". So he is camping and I am here. As much as I don't want to be upset about it, I am. I feel like our relationship is VERY one sided. I have even talked to him about it and nothing has changed.

Any Advice?  I can really use some right now.

Wordless Wednesday

This is my Nephew. He is perfect. End of discussion.

Tampons, Temecula and Some More Bloggy Love!

 I am obsessed with the new Kotex U commercials, Here, and my personal favie Here. (I would embed them but I can't seem to re-size them accordingly)

These adds are exactly what I was thinking! Why are Tampon adds so obnoxious? I am already forced to buy these things anyway so lay off the dancing, partying and tennis playing in white skirts. It is completely unnecessary, mildly offensive and one hundred percent ridiculous. I must say, whoever is working in advertising at Kotex, good job, because these commercials make me want to purchase Kotex U, just because they call out the other feminine care companies on their B.S


Enough about tampons, and onto our weekend. This weekend was nice and relaxing. TJ and I were planning on just relaxing in Oceanside when hotel after hotel was booked. EVERYTHING from Oceanside, San Diego and even Fallbrook was booked up. Apparently, Comic Con is a big deal and people come from far and wide to go to this convention, and book up all the hotels in a 70 mile radius. So we were pushed into Temecula for our relaxing weekend, which ended up being an excellent choice. We stayed right outside of this lovely place:

Beautiful Old Town Temecula. I love me any old town of any kind. They have so much character, and are so vibrant. They also had the cutest Farmers Market that we explored on Saturday. Being in Temecula further solidified the though I've been having of moving away. I want to move away. I feel like I would be so much happier in a new town, possibly in a new state. TJ says it's because I am ready to move on in my life, and I really think that is it. Unfortunately it is not that easy. Why move away when I would have to move back in a year anyhow? I guess one can dream.

On a lighter note Kelsey at Far from the Safe Harbor has given me an award! It makes me happy to know she was thinking about me when she received the "One Lovely Blog" award, and she was nice enough to pass it on. So I suppose I shall conjure up some facts about me that you don't know already:

One: I take hour long showers because it is the only part of my day where I have complete solitude.

Two: Last night TJ woke up because I was sleeping an odd way. As he peered at me to see how I was sleeping I simultaneously rolled over, opened my eyes and screamed because I thought he had been staring at me all night like a zombie. My screaming scared him so much he pulled the covers over his head to hide. It was quite a bizarre moment, but makes a funny story a day later.

Three: I HATE wearing closed toed shoes, especially sneakers. I feel like a big foot clown and can hardly walk in them. I like my toes free to wiggle around and feel the air.

Four: On Friday I think God saved my life. I was stopped at the intersection, the first car in the far left lane, waiting for the light to turn green. As I waited at the red light I went looking for something in my glove box, when I looked up again my light had turned green but something told me to put the papers back in my glove box before I go. As I take the second to close my glove box a black car comes flying through the intersection and collides with a Cox Communications truck. Both cars fly off each other, and the black car flies into the stopped traffic. Both cars were smashed into unrecognizable parts. If I hadn't taken the extra seconds to close my glove box, I would have been smashed and mangled into pieces. Someone was looking out for me.

That is all I can think about that I haven't stated in previous bloggy love posts. And as I see that many of you lovely ladies have received this award already I shall give this to anyone who has not yet received this fantastic award!

Oh and before I forget! TJ picked up an "Early Promote" on his evaluation Friday. He was all worried about it, but as always it turned out great. I am so very proud of him!

Let the Aisling Begin!

I just watched documentary on Hulu named American Shopper. I first thought this would be a chronicle of how shopping and supermarkets have changed throughout the years. Boy was I wrong. It is about this sport called Aisling. For the many of you that don't know, Aisling is the art of grocery shopping with style, grace, rhythm and will.

This part documentary, part fiction (I had to do some research, I could not tell if I was watching a mock documentary, or if this was the real deal. I found out the main character, Aisling's inventor Johnathan, is an actor, but everyone else is real. Their passion for Aisling is real, their drive to win is real, and the competition is real.).

After watching this, funny and strangely inspiring documentary, I had the biggest smile on my face. The beginning is weird and at times very awkward (to the point I skipped a few minutes. So much social awkwardness it was making me feel uncomfortable.)  but the fresh, moving and tearful ending made all the awkward moments extremely worth it. Not to mention, who doesn't love people dancing up and down aisles at the grocery store? If your having a lazy day or lounging around looking for something to watch. Pull this up. You'll be emotionally moved and you'll have a good laugh.

Blog Bash!

It's time for a blog bash! Miss Brittany at Not Your Average Teen  is hosting a linkly loo on her page. Naturally, I love these things so I figured "Hey, why don't I do this on my lunch break?" So here I am on my lunch break, blogging. Addicted much? Perhaps.

So here's my intro post!

1. Why do you blog/ How long have you been blogging?  
I blog because I love it! I started up this blog about a year and a half ago. It began as apart of leadership training for school, but I started to dedicate more time to it when my lovely Boyfriend deployed to Afghanistan, October of 2009 to May of 2010. It was a nice way to one, vent about my frustrations and two, keep him posted about my life (when he had access to a computer he would look up my blog and read up on what I've been doing. It kept us close when we were seas apart.). Through the Deployment I had the chance to meet a wonderful, and supportive bloggy community that I never plan on losing.

2. What do you blog about?
I blog about my life in general. Going through deployments, college, being apart of the office workforce, and adventures on my free time.  Sometimes I throw in a recipe or two, and maybe a philosophical post here and there.

3. What do you find to be the biggest reward you get from blogging?

I think the biggest reward is the fact that you have the opportunity to meet wonderful bloggy friends.  Although, they are all spread across the nation, we all share some sort of common bond. So I must say, the biggest reward is being able to be apart of the wonderful blogger community.

4. Let's hear the story behind your blog title! :) 
 Well, at first my blog title was simply "Delainey" and I figured, that doesn't do justice to my blog at all. After all, a book is usually judged by it's cover. So I oomphed it up to "Life as I know it". Seeing that I mostly talk about my life, it seemed very fitting.
