New Poll!

So because I have too much free time...
(Well, not really free time but I do spend a lot of time with Fallyn just sitting around and hanging out at home... and I can only watch so many cartoons with her!)

My new poll is for those who watch too much TV!

So go vote!
You can vote for more than one, btw.

Side note: Where do I get calf muscles like that?!




Side side note: T-minus 10 1/2 hours & counting!!!


ETA: Sorry Jushy that I didn't list "wrestling" as an option...

Random Thoughts

Today's random thoughts are brought to you, courtesy of Eminem.

Side note: Is it bad that I think he's hot?


Anyways, I digress.
Random thought one: MissMegan Fox sure does a great job of playing a completely dirty trashy girl with no feelings of self worth who loves to get abused by her equally dirty trashy boyfriend, played by Dominic Monaghan.
Random thought two: I have been working on posting this blog since August 19th. I didn't realize it'd be so difficult to sit down for a few minutes & write out something for entertainment purposes.  I feel lots of pressure.  I mean, I've got 12 of you followers out there, that are ADMITTING to stalking me (I like it).  And who knows how many other lurkers are out there (*coughJUSHYcough*)

Random thought three: Hello my name is Jennye and I'm addicted to taking pictures with my phone.  And NO not of myself (not since Fallyn was born at least!) I'm currently in the process of moving all 1203 pictures/videos from my phone to my laptop.

Yes I said 1203.  No that's not a typo.  Don't judge me.

Random thought four: Did I mention we are down to less than 24 hours til my amazing husband is home!??!

Random thought five: I'm SO proud of my sister for teaching my niece rap songs! hehe Chamillionaire ain't got NOTHING on my AE! ;)

Random thought six: Fallyn is SERIOUSLY so stinking cute.  Like, it's pretty ridiculous.  Perhaps I'm a little bit biased but would I really take 1200+ pictures of something that was NOT seriously adorable?! I'll give you a few examples: 
Being cute watching tv :)
Just being cute!
Fallyn & her Daddy Doll


And random thought seven: here's the Cupcake of the Post. Because I know it will make Adam SO happy to see and it's in honor of him coming home for R&R ;)
Oh yeah baby <3

Dear Deployment (& a celebration cupcake!)

Can you just send my husband home now?  I'm tired of you and I'm just ready to see him. Kthanks.
Out of courtesy for my innocent-eyed readers, I've refrained from posting the clipart that I'd TRULY like to use... It kinda gets my point across in a stronger, more harsh manner.  Just use your imagination.

Good news of the Day is... My sissy's (shout-out @ Betsy St. Amant) editor just accepted some major revisions on her newest book and was FULL of compliments! She was on cloud9 all day! Release date is looking to be August of next year so YAY for her!!  We celebrated with a cupcake (of course) so in honor of my sissy's great day, here's the Cupcake of the Post (isn't she so cute?!):

Oops!

I forgot the cupcake in my last post!! I was so sidetracked by the awkward pantsless neighbor and my starving belly!

So... here we go:
Breakfast at Tiffanys? Nah, I'll just take a cupcake & a proposal, kthanks!

Hey, a girl can dream right? ;)

Oh what a night...

So after dealing with a creeper @ Walmart, I pick up Fallyn & get home...She's sound asleep in bed and I figure since I'm hungry, I'm going to try making a version of this new spaghetti recipe I got from my Ashy.

As I'm turning on the stove-top burner to boil the water, something pops... My entire apt goes black.

What the heck?  Of course I've got my phone in my hand, so I use the light of it to get to the breaker box.  Nothing is flipped.  I flip all of the switches off & back on, and nothing happens.  

Now, I might be an Army version of a "single mom" at the moment but that does NOT mean that I don't know how to flip breakers & get my lights to come back on.  This isn't my first rodeo here.  But nothing is working.  

Fabulous.

Did I mention it's 102 degrees outside still? Even tho it's 9:30 at night? So within this 2 minute span, I'm already sweating and I'm sure poor Fallyn was too, in her longsleeve pj's and blankie in her bed. :(

So I go knock on the door of the couple across from me. Apparently I interrupted their wine-binge movie fest but the hubby comes over to look at the breakers for me (which just irks me that I couldn't fix it- I was going to be mad if it was something simple to fix and I missed it! I AM a competent female! RAWR!)

Said hubby can't figure it out either, even after getting a REAL flashlight and looking at things.  Wife has put on some pants (yes, I just said she had to go put on pants...) and comes over too.  She runs the apt complex that I moved out of in & out of within a week in Dec bc of a bug problem... And she remembers the b*tch fit that I threw to get out of her apt complex.  So YAY for awkward moments...

Side note- I seriously need to invest in a flashlight! I've said this MULTIPLE times over the last year or so.

The hubby calls the main maintenance guy, bc they are friends (yay, connections) and he also calls his boss to see if there's something else he should check.  Perhaps in his buzzed state, he was thinking he was missing something?  He asked me 12 times how it happened!  haha

Well, long story short--- Head maintenance guy shows up about the same time as the guy's boss tells him how to flip something at the MAIN breaker box outside my apt.  Everything comes back on.  Maintenance guy comes in & looks at my stove and apparently some wiring got over-used or too hot (ummm hello it's a STOVE? FIRE? Shouldn't it be MADE to get hot?!) and it grounded out my entire apt.  

So I have lights and air-conditioning but no dinner for me tonight.  Which really sucks because this was the first night I'd actually felt like cooking in FOREVER.

This is how I feel tonight: 

Second side note- ever looked at the word awkward a few times?? It really doesn't look right after a couple of minutes!

Bring on the Rain!

Adam's plane leaves the sandpit in about a week!! I can't wait!! I'm kind of nervous to see how all three of us interact for 2 weeks straight but I'm excited <3 It should be entertaining (and hopefully nothing like the bad dreams I've been having...) ;)  I just can't believe this deployment is already half way over!!
In Fallyn news, she's doing this I Dont Want To Nap During the Day Unless You're Holding Me thing. This is new for us and I don't know if it's related to the fact that she's starting to teethe (at least I think she is) or what.  And while I LOVE LOVE LOVE sitting and holding her... Mommy has stuff that needs to get done around the house! Like, cleaning- which is what I'm heading to finish doing now, while she's visiting her Pops & Shugey (did I spell that right??)

Side note: I washed my car yesterday and today it's raining! Of course!! So in honor of the rain.. Here's the Cupcake of the Post:

hehe :)

Annnnnnnnd GO!

So I'm finally going to attempt this blog thing.  I've been wanting to for a long time... Since I started this military life; Since I got pregnant; Since Adam deployed; Since Fallyn was born... you get the idea.

And so here we are! Almost 24 months later.

It's hard for me to believe that Adam and I have been married for 9 months now... and that he's been deployed for 6 months and that Fallyn is almost 4 months old. Everything is going by so fast and on one hand, that's a good thing (let's get this dang deployment OVER WITH)! But on the other hand... My baby isn't a newborn anymore. She's growing so fast and sometimes I just wish it would slow down.

She's already able to hold her head up really well when being held in a sitting position:
She's going to be rolling over before we know it.  I've got a pile of clothes that she's already outgrown & the newest order of diapers (shout out to Diapers.com!) is a mix of size 1's and 2's.  It still feels like yesterday that I was finding out I was pregnant, and then being on bed rest and then being in the hospital for forever.  So hard to believe it's already been 15 1/2 weeks since she made her big debut.

So anyways- this is my place to put updates on her; keep up with her milestones reached; put up pictures... I thought it'd be an easy way for all of the family and our friends to keep up, especially once Adam & I are back together & finally living as a family in El Paso (or wherever else we end up!)

I'll also just use it as a place to post my random thoughts and stuff I'm doing & that kind of thing.  So if you're reading this, hang on because those who know me, know how RANDOM things can be with me!

PS- Don't forget to vote on the poll of the week on the right hand side!!

Oh- and here's the Cupcake of the Post (can't do cupcake of the day, because I'm not promising a daily post!):
Holy Hello Kitty cupcakes! As AE says "sooo cute!"
