As much as I don't generally like the Jersey Shore folks, Snooki has just always been a cutie to me. I think she'd be fun, and not a ginormous douche.

I would like to see/hear this if you can pin down the source. I've been googling furiously to no avail! But thank you for sharing — it makes sense.

YAY! I love her! And she's so cute! Her book had me in stitches! Can't wait. :-)

Rihanna = hell yeah! Go girl!

Wow. What the hell?

I honestly forgot that it was Saturday because when you work in a hotel, the Friday and Saturday no longer mean "weekend," and "weekend" becomes any day that you aren't working. Yay for having to be in at 6am tomorrow!

Thanks!! I am seriously passing on everything all of you say to him! Nothing means more to the soldiers I know than feeling like what they do is appreciated by someone. :-)

They will. I was feeling similarly not too long ago; I was frustrated with looking for jobs, struggling with my boyfriend being deployed, freaking out about having to pay back student loans. There was a whole host of crap happening. Then, one by one, things started to look up. You will be fine, just keep it all in…

He is such a cutie!!! Aw!

Everything will work out as it should, even if it is poopy right now. This is the stuff strength is made of. I know that doesn't help now, but it will get so much better.

Hahaha actually, he isn't!! He's 5'11" and I'm 5'5" We were standing on the benches that the boys sit on before they go jump (he's airborne infantry). It's all the angle! Hehe :-P

Good deal!!!!!! I'm happy for you!

Yes. This is what I was thinking too.

No, because I love them too! I'm also known to destroy bags of wintergreen lifesavers.... it's.... baaaaaad....

Not really a cocktail, but eggnog will always have a special place in my heart.

Hehe I hope they're happy tears like mine were!!!! I almost bawled when I saw all the guys marching in their formations when they got off the plane! So many wives, parents, babies. It was cool.

Ohh!! I love new book ideas. I'm trying to get a list going for when I'm done with the Song of Ice an Fire series. I like The Hunger Games, although I haven't read all the books in the series yet. This will go on there. For. Sure.

Thank you!!!!! I've been smiling ear to ear all freaking weekend!

Thanks!!! I am too! I'm so glad for all of the families that are getting their soldiers back. I can totally relate to the excitement, because I know it still isn't quite real for me yet. :-D

So it happened!!!!!!!!! Sgt Boyfriend got back from Iraq on Saturday morning, and when he called me Friday night from Germany, I was able to surprise him — he wasn't expecting to see me until later this week. So I'm a happy camper. Our 2 good friends Anna and Ty helped me out a lot by getting me from the airport,…
