Cadences

Yeah I likes them. I was entertaining the Orclette this morning and this was what I came up with: I tried to join the Navy But they said they do not swim I tried to join the Air Force But they said I was too thin I tried to join the Mar-ines But they said I was to smart Now I'm in the AR-MY Learning how to march The Army takes my breakfast gives me stuff called chow The army took my girl-friend I've got a battle buddy now The army took my ca-ar and gave me these two boots. The army took my learnin and taught me how to shoot. I tried to be a lawyer but the clients wouldn't pay I tried to be a doctor but the patients wouldn't stay I tried to join the Coast Guard but they didn't have a plan Now I'm in the AR-MY Learning how to stand. Seriously.... there should be more of these cadences in life. I'd love to hum/quietly chant one while coding, or raiding... or cleaning house.... Wulfa has a fairly serious difference of opinion with me on the subject though. :(

Bataan Death March

Damm's ROTC is manning the water stations along the route. The race happens to take place on my birthday, March 29. This doesn't upset me at all. Participating in a race is, like, a perfect birthday day :D Then Damm suggested I might like to try walking part of it. So I hopped on to see what kind of race lengths they have. There is the marathon, and then an honorary march of 15 miles. I don't know. Were I not pregnant I wouldn't have hesitated. Had they had a 10k I would've done it. I'm concerned about a 15-mile walk though, especially as my training is only now beginning to build back up. So I'm thinking that maybe I could volunteer with Damm. Get the in-laws to watch the Orclette. Though maybe a slightly shorter shift as they have to stay until the last participants passes and that could be up to 8 hours depending on where he gets stationed ...... we'll see. On the health front: I gained a pound! I think it's from eating incredibly salty foods yest

Sadness

I haven't been reading my reader. It's just too painful. All those posts about what's happening in WoW. The other day I was daydreaming about running a toon around in Elwynn Forest. Then I remembered Wulfa and felt just a wee bit guilty. She's 77, so close to 80. I am still holding out hope that I'll find time to play. It was also sad to log onto the Sidhe Devils page and see everyone else's name. I almost felt a tear. I do have happy news. Went to see the head of history yesterday (he's my advisor person) because Damm got this cool little printout with his degree plan, what classes he had credit for and what classes he was currently in. I wanted one. Well, last time I was advised my transcript hadn't been evaluated. Turns out that I had 35 transfer, which means that after this semester I had only 24 to get my associates. That's much faster than I had though. Expected graduation: Spring 2012 OR 2011 if I take summer classes. Damm isn't set to gra

National Guard Weekend

Damm was away all this weekend learning cool stuff (wouldn't you know he'd fall in love with marching cadences? and want to sing them to me?) and getting yelled at. He has many many stories which I'll let him tell. The Orclette and I had a fun weekend watching my season dvd's of Monk and in general just lying around (I did study for a test in between Orclette interventions on Sunday). My stomach is feeling a mite queasy again. Not as bad as last time but enough to affect my daily eating habits. Actually braved the scale this morning to find out I've lost 3-5 pds. At this point in time I'm supposed to have gained 3-5 pds the first 3 months and then about a pound a week thereafter. How I'm supposed to do that when foods make me queasy and I can't eat as much in one sitting as I used to I don't know. Maybe eat more pizza :D
