Happy Halloween

So its my favorite non gift giving, non turkey eating hoilday!!!!! I have a carved pumpkin, which is very cute, not really spookie just silly. I'm wearing my very nifty bat shirt, and I seem to be the only person in class wearing anything halloweenie, but then again last night we did have ghost so we got our spookieness out of our system. GHOST is an event so kids can come and tricker treat safely and get a ton of candy. It was almost as good as Vegas for people watching. We managed to give away all of out candy before the end of the night and because it was getting quite cold out. It was good. I've been lighty the pumpkin every night, gota make the best of it. Mom sent the halloween presents, peanut butter cups and chocolate covered ginger, yum!!! I've already eaten all ginger, mmmmm chocolatly. Ross is still feeling kinda crummy from all his shots, it had a flu shot and others, but they all combined to become one giant muscle ache. He also played softball all day on friday. I've been busy with school so I haven't been doing much. I'm also done with my gift for Kristy for her baby shower, which is this weekend. It's very nice, I'll have to get a neat thing to put it in. I'm also working on a sleeveless shirt that I won't get to wear until next spring, but it might take me that long. I still have another sweater to work on and I haven't started on it, mmmm thats a bit of a problem, but maybe I just give pieces and then finish it. If I had more time I could finish it. Well I should be paying attention in class.....

loafs of bread in the road way

mmm, this strange little tip of the news is brought to you by the folks at NPR. I was listening to the local road report when they said that there were loafs of bread in the road. Well today was a some what productive, between the test I took, then the nap and the studing, not to mention the spotted dog and the meeting, the day isn't even over. So lets slow down. I took a test in lab this morning, pooo, and then went off the the UC to study but I really felt crappy so took 4 Idu's and took a nap in a chair. I woke up and studied some more then ate my lunch which was quite tasty. Then I trugged back to class, sat in class and tried not to drool from complete boardum in a class that I have a degree in. We then played with the STD's mmm, but it was actually dead so we just saw slime. I then left feeling a wee better because I had a coke and the caffine combined with the painkillers to create a false sense of happness. So I walked home in the fadulously cold weather. As I was passing the church I saw a dog in the grass. I wasn't sure if she was alive or dead, I went up tp check on her. She was ok but very pregnant, so I checked on her and she was a little scared. I told her to be a good dog and someone would be back to get her. When I got home, I checked on Krys who was not home but her poor little dog was and she was whining at the door, a 700.00 dollar dog all alone every day all day and night. Well when I got home I called animal control and the took the information and they took my number so they could tell me if she was ok. I haven't heard anything but she couldn't have been a hard catch she was a huge dog. Then I went to post for the Pre-deployment meeting. Then home. Poor Ross had a ton of shots and is a little on the woozy side. Going to make some dinner and then then work on my study guide. What a day. Well then, byebye

the urban sprawl of Clarksville

As with all Army town city planner are too expesive to hire, so instead they let the city grow unchecked while tons of crappy houses with no fences are built in ten seconds flat and sold to the person with the VA loan. Two years latter when the "neighborhood" has gone down hill and the VA loans have become VA repos they leave the houses to built more, further up the road. So as drive some 5 plus miles to the Target, which really isn't that far, except there was plenty of reestate inbetween that with never be filled in, I wonder why in freakin' hell are we building the new hospital out at exit 4, there is space behind the strip malls, there is space before them, there is space in downtown there is space every where, but we have let the core of the city die like a TB infection. The dead center while the outside growns and lives, only become part of the dead center as time passes. Like Lawton, Clarksville will crash and a saddness will consume the city. It's too bad, would be a pretty spot if they just gave some thought to it.

My rant and rave

So now that Ashlee simpson is blond again and is trying to be Gwen clone I wonder that if I was ever 21. I was I remember going to Vegas for my birthday, with my parents to people watch. But I don't remember any of those trivial things like boyfriend stealing that her new album deals with, and if the biggest problem in her life currently than she needs to hang out a bit more with Bono and at least learn about the worlds current problems so she could a least think about the problems facing the more grown up world. The other thing that made me wonder was, mmmmm that lady who is nominated for the supreme court needs to go and get a make over. MMM theres nothing nastier than that eye liner that she wears. Granted the way she looks has nothing to do with how smart she is, but that fact is she looks like a blue toad all the time and its sad because she makes a great deal more than me and should afford a nice suite that is non- toadie. Not to mention that most women of Washington look quite punny all the time, except ms Condie who seems to look around 30 years old all the time. Well so I think I've ranted enough, but ooo it felt good. Ok I'm sure I'll righ something less shallow latter. -CA

Four days off

After my four day weekend, which ends today, I can say I did next to nothing. I cleaned the house and did a lot of laundry, a whole lot of laundry. I really didn't knit as much as I thought I would, I really thought I would finish a sleeve and begin to put it togeather. DAMN. I did how ever begin to knit a lovely hat for a wee Ford that is due in early Dec. Its green and very soft. I hope they like it, but its too big for a newborn. I this lovely collection of yarn on the chair right now in green and coral it looks great. Besides the Zoo I haven't done much of anything. I cleaned out the piss-ant today its very happy, very happy. I cleaned out the inside and got all the junk out of it. Makes me feel good. There was a ton of garbage in it, just little things, wrappers and stuff. I went to TJ max to find a new purse yesterday after I had lunch with Tammy, but found nothing that I wanted or that was in my price range. Today however I went to Belks who has a great selection and a crazy shoe department. I didn't find anything I want in the shoe world. I really want to find a pair of boots that I can wear with my jeans, rolled up. I did find a great nine west on sale for cheap. It might just be the last of the good ones, all the rest are really ugly. Well I know that I have a three day week weeeee, and Ross is taking a four day pass so he and Mike can have a good time. Ok well other than that not much has been going on.

Shades of Seattle

The weekend was great. The weather was fantastic. Cool and windy with a slight over cast. Today is seattle. It's gray and cool and fantastic!!!!! Ross and I went to see Walace and Grommit. It was great fun. We went to dinner at the Cumberland grill and it was mmm ok a bit too homey for ross and I. The food was only soso and the service was crap. We'll go 541 next week. On Saturday night we had a fire in Dana's little fire pit thing it was great because it was cold and it was a good campfire type thing. We need marshmellows and chocolate for smore's, smore what how can I have smore if I haven't had any. Sorry a little sand lot. I spent most of the weekend studing for my two tests next week. I found a dog in the parking lot this morning I wonder if he'll still be there when I get home, he looked like a full chow and he had been shaved at the begining of summer but has since grow some back in, but you could see his "mane". He was friendly but didn't come up to me but I don't falt him, but he didn't run and followed me a little. He was scared.
Well I'm actually in class right now so I should get back to learning...... uhuh.

well it's about damn time

So it's here, yes fall, so they say. Its a nice 75 out today and dropping thanks to a cold front moving in. I hope that it lasts and we can all wear coats again.
So the new trend in the celeb world is to knock em' up and the marry them eh? WIth the supper gross Cruse Holmes combo now filling the gene pool who's next? Maybe I should divorce so I can get pregnant and then get married again like all the cool people.
Well i just had to vent about that, in other places, like school, which has taken an all time turn for the worst. Our Micro teacher is readding from the book for the first time in class, which we all then highlight and sleep while he reads the next few sentences to himself. Today he called it a review day but in reality he just reread us the book with a few more things that he had failed to point out the first time around. I WOULD HAVE RATHER HAD MY TOE NAILS PULLED OUT. so needless to say that was 2 hours of my life I will never get back.

Monarchs and fall

Well its a nasty 85 degrees today this third icky day of october. Yes 85 degrees and warmer tommorrow and the day after with it cooling after thrusday. Cross your fingers hope to die stick a needle in you eye weather man. The monarch butterflies are floating their way to mexico now a days and they pass through here on the way. It's quite nice to see them. Large and pretty they just to their thing. The are smarter than you think. The dodge cars and find the shade all very gracefully. I'm just glad to be seeing them. I don't know how long they'll stay. The humming birds seem to be on their way for the summer, I haven't seen any lately. Hoping to see some birds that are migrating south this fall we'll see what comes. I still have three growing tomatoes so I do hope for some sun but cool days. Did you see the pictures from the park. Ross and I went to port Royal state park and looked at what was left of the covered bridge. It was first destroyed in a flood in the late century and then rebuilt, and it as burned and then damaged when they we're trying to repair it. It took a life. It just sits there now just the one end over the river. Too Bad. We walked around but the nature trail was also sad. Nothing much to look out there. I have a test on Friday so I need to go back to studing keep you up to date.

It's quite nice to see them. Large and pretty they just to their thing. The are smarter than you think. The dodge cars and find the shade all very gracefully. I'm just glad to be seeing them. I don't know how long they'll stay. The humming birds seem to be on their way for the summer, I haven't seen any lately. Hoping to see some birds that are migrating south this fall we'll see what comes. I still have three growing tomatoes so I do hope for some sun but cool days. Did you see the pictures from the park. Ross and I went to port Royal state park and looked at what was left of the covered bridge. It was first destroyed in a flood in the late century and then rebuilt, and it as burned and then damaged when they we're trying to repair it. It took a life. It just sits there now just the one end over the river. Too Bad. We walked around but the nature trail was also sad. Nothing much to look out there. I have a test on Friday so I need to go back to studing keep you up to date.

College as a rerun

I never though I would actually go back to school. Once I was out that was that I was done but now I find my self here again and wow. I hind in the upstairs of what as know as the UC or the University center. I watch them all go by, the students. THe onces that haven't been here before. I strange need to wear your PJ's to class the said fate of college fashion and I know because I once spent a whole year wearing nothing but fat pants from Walmart to class. The freshman 45 has become a national past time here and Looking like an complete dult is in order for every 19 year old girl. College has become the new highschool. Ditzy teens without their parents to say no around. I watch and I wonder, how are they going to become really people with jobs, but then again they most likely are all psyc, majors or Rec majors with a comm and journalism thrown in for good measure. I'm not any older than any of them but to them this is the real world. Nashville is the biggest city they have seen and they've never lived there, or taken the bus. It's a symptom of the south, hardly anyone lives here on campus and they all have cars which they drive to campus even if they live really close. I worry, no wonder the south is the way it is, filled with ingnorance and privlage. Recycle or taking the bus is some how wrong here. But they are soooo nice. No not really. I have yet to find this crazy southern hospitality, I think it's a myth congered up to make them feel better about hating people and creating a casts system that prevents people for escaping poverty. Well it's only a few more years and I normally hang out with non southerns so it helps. So much for being a carefree college student again.

I think that Fall might be here

I don't known if I can wait any longer for fall. It keeps hinting at it. Cool mornings and then BOOOOM hot by the afternoon. Yuck. They say its going to be really nice tomorrow, around 70 degrees. I really hope thats the case. I don't know if I can take it anymore considering its the end of freakin' september.
MMMMMMM what have we been up to... not much actually. Lost is on tonight so we're going to Danas to watch it and before hand we're hitting up the hobby lobby for fuzzy yarn. I found this great coat at Target but I don't know if I'm going toget it because I think it makes me look a little thick, granted I am a wee chunkie I just don't kick my coats to show that off. School is school right now, I can't explain the boredum because it's better than working but not. Yeah it sucks to have a real job that requires to you get up go and stay there but atleast your doing something. I feel a little odd about school because I'm not working but I want to be. My days are very open and I end up napping and watching TV rather than doing something useful like finish knitting my sweater.
Well I should think about making dinner here soon, disregard the time stamp on my blog its about 2 hours behind. Ok have fun out there to all those people who live in places where fall as already arrived.

Only 96 hours left

yes folks that right you only have 96 hours left to yourself a brand new GMC vehicle with the employee discount. You know you want an over priceds poorly made car with no resale value. So do it go buy yourself one. Hell make it two or three. How about a colbolt, the next generation of the Cavalier or maybe you want a saturn with plastic doors. Ok so I just can't handle it anymore, its a giant pain in the ass to hear the ads constantly. Weekend was a weekend. We went to dana's house on saturday night to have BBQ and chat with her folks who where here for the week. On friday night we went to dinner at Ruby Tuesdays which wasn't sooo bad and then went to see the corpse bride. It was very good, it was fun lots of fun. Lots of signing and dancing and dead things it was good. Thursday was a coffee night and on wednesday I watched LOST. It was supper cheesy but it was a season premier party so I went. I might watch the next episode because I have to see what happends, mmmm so sleepy and I don't known why. Ok I think I'll take a nap

I miss Idaho

Around this time of year in Idaho the first freak freeze would have come to moscow. I would need my coat but I still would wear my flip/flops until the first snow. Instead its 90 today and the evenings get to about 70 and stays that way!!!! I'm peved or vexed I can't deside. I just know I want it to be fall so bad I can hardly stand it. I'm wearing long sleave shirts and jeans, well I have to because the AC is set to like 65 in all the buildings on campus because everyone is fat here. I got a ride to schoool and home today so I feel good, no walking in the heat. Frankie Ra is almost done with loosing his feathers so he's feeling much better now, but now his feathers are growing back and he feels a little funny about it, he's not so keen on coming out right now. I have a test in Microbiology tomorrow and we'll see what happens. Ok Claire

When did it get so freaking Hot

Yeah, after a fantastic weekend of cool overcast weather it got freakin' hot again and I'm pissed. Just tease me with a little fall, and then boom back to the hot. My hair is all messed up because of it. It's not fair. Any whooo, good weekend. We had the Jetta fixed on Saturday. The exust needed some work because of the hummity they rust out much quicker here. They got it done really quick, but it took longer because the Bikers convention at the fair grounds had a toy drive ride down the main road, which is the same the same road we were one. I was neat to see that many motercycles all at once. There were some really neat bikes too. We then went over to see Ross' friends from the unit, Davis and his wife. They have a great little place, but no furiture because she's only staying until he heads out to the sand box. She's going back to Tacoma, ah the great northwest, how I miss you. Sunday was quite, I wanted to study for my test but I went out with Amanda and Dana it was much more fun. We had a great time shopping and being really girly. I almost bought something at the GAP, ah my god Claire in the gap shocking!!!!! Yes, they have pants that come in Ankle length, which is almost too long for me. yeah I'm short. I got some studing in and I feel ok about the test. We it comes to that class and his tests you can never study enough because he mainly pulls the questions out of his butt. I'm currently sitting on the floor of the apartment watching Dr. phil, waitng for the X-files to come on. I really need to get a life. Tonight I have to go to post and have an FRG training meeting that is going to go until 9 at night. YUCK. I hate going to post. Ok I gota work on gaining another 30 lbs and I need to bleach out my hair so I'll blend in to night.

Micro class

ahhh yes microbiology class, the class in which my four years of school are condensed down into a short six month pellet and fed to other students who look at me with sad eyes and go what? One of only three people with prior lab experience in class, April and I are the resendent class geniuses, woooowhoooo, I am so smart s-m-r-t,sorry channeling my inner homer. Though I might be able to do a gram stain in my sleep I still manged to get a big blob on my sweater. None other than the beautiful crystal violet. I screamed and then began to panic, how do I get it off my favorite ugly green sweater. Then like the moron I am it dawned on me, alcohol. The thrid step of a gram stain you use ethal alcohol to decolorize the bacteria and wash away the extra stain. Came right out!!! As exciting as all that was more exciting things have been happening in the world. Brittney gave birth to her first ugly monkey child she had with her gene pool contaminating husband. Now that scares me more than anything. I have a birhtday close to hers, we got married about the same time, and she has now one up'd me and had a baby. God help that child. Renee and Toby have slip, what a year for them, met at the tsunami in december, because destruction and the smell of dead fish mixed with sand is sooooo rommantic, get married and separate all before they can know each other a year. WOW. How to you top that one, I'd be wanting my wedding gift back, hell it was most likely never even used. I've been married a year and there are some things I've never used. Like that damn silver water thing I got. Ok enough ragging on other peoples lives that aren't mine I get to go school, but then it is friday.

a wild weekend of fun

so we had a crazy wild weekend of fun, actually we really didn't do anything. We went to a friends art showing that didn't turn out at all. Then had some drinks at the deli, stayed out late-ish and smelled like smoke. On saturday I contemplated home work while practing my typing. Yes I'm regreting, for the first time in my life, that I didn't learn how to touch type from Mrs. Easter in like 5th grade when it was completely pointless but now when I'm taking notes in class it would be really nice. Amanda and I went out shoping. MMM we got coffee at the evil empire that is starbucks, mmm pumkin spice latte and marshmellow square. Plus a trip to target for mildless goodies like a battie bat t- shirt for haloween. Ross and I headed over to see the ADA guy before he left for Iraq this morning, they had a BBQ. Today was a thrilling day, went to the recycle center, woooo that's exciting. I also though about maybe studing for my test that I have on Wednesday. I cleaned instead. I made dinner and watched the new simpsons and family guy. Let me tell you this has been a wild weekend. Can hardly wait for the week ahead, hahhahhahaaahahahaaaa. Ok, enough it's about time for bed or thinking about it. damn I have to but the sheets on the bed, ooo fresh sheets are worth it. Ok nighty night.

I made dinner and watched the new simpsons and family guy. Let me tell you this has been a wild weekend. Can hardly wait for the week ahead, hahhahhahaaahahahaaaa. Ok, enough it's about time for bed or thinking about it. damn I have to but the sheets on the bed, ooo fresh sheets are worth it. Ok nighty night.

grocery shoping at the walmart

so today, this morning to be exact I braved the walmart to go grocery shopping. Man at 9:30 am there were all ready a bunch of people there. MMMM lots of ...mmmm uuuum, large people too. I've come to learn that in the south thats the norm. It wasn't to bad actually. I got all my shopping done and it didn't cost to much.
Last night we went to see a friend's art showing but they didn't even put her work up so we left, and went to the Deli for some dinner and drinks. The boys ended up staying for hours until the band got really loud and we decided to leave. The band wasn't to bad but it was so f'ing loud we had to leave. MMM we saw alot of really nasty austin peay students. To much uncovered skin. There was a guy trying to get a whole picher of beer down in hopes that the really ugly girl he was with would get better looking but it didn't seem to be working. It was good to watch though. Well I need to go work out and then get the wal mart off me. iek walmart cooties.

The amazing Human pin cushion

God damnit so much for not getting stuck today. We had to draw these giant tubes for class, I think you might be able to suck a kidney through the needle with the vacume in them, and well my first vein didn't give more than a bit of blood then Chris missed the other vein. So much for day when I don't get to be the human pin cushion. Spent most of the day in lab, morning then afternoon. My micro class is like a rehash of my whole degree which is nice because it means I'm smart, s-m-a-t!!! I got a new bag that carries my labtop last night and it worked well today.
Campus is almost as good as Vegas for the people watching. MMM southern fired fat, if everywhere. And no shame to be big and wear a tank top. Shorts no problem you have huge white legs please by all means wear shorts. Well all this talk of fat has made me hugry so I need a snack.

Katrina

In the wake of the storm that brought down a city and brought Fall to clarksville, I hope something good can come of it. With so many people who were once so poor and had never left the city are moved to places that aren't the south, I see change. I see happy children who learn that there is something beyond the confinds of poverty. When I was in Oklahoma and subing for the school district, I saw students who thought that the OC was a fictional show and no place was like that. They had never been beyond Oklahoma city and some had never been there. They didn't understand that there was anything but the same beyond Lawton. Though I think the OC is crap and shouldn't make it to another stupid season, the kids still watched it. I hope that with out the culture which breds teenage mothers and uneducation these kids and hopefully parents will see that there is world beyond the south and poverty and the racism which runs rampent in the south. Maybe Katrina is a time of rebuilding and rebirth for people and when the water dries and the homes are rebuild people will move back in with new views and new hopes. It's all we can hope for in all the destruction.

Things are going great

Well now that I've played with my new computer a bunch I can sit down and blog. The weather has been great here since the damn huricane came through. We've had nice days that have been a bit warm and great mornings and afternoons. Last night it was down right chilly. Mike came up from Alabama for the weekend. We had a BBQ last night here at the apartments. We had a bunch of people from the complex. It was great. We stayed out until like one am.
I got my computer and installed my own ram, it works so I did some thing right.
My first week at school was rather unexciting, we had lab and class etc etc etc.. Really other than installing the ram myself and getting my computer nothing thrilling has been going on here. ok enjoy

First Days and Down Pours

Yeah Katrina hit, like a brick around 3 am this morning. The roof leaked the wind blew the power went out for a minute or two. In all the cancled my morning class and I had Micro in the afternoon. Yesterday was my first day back to school after my two weeks of doing nothing much. I cleaned quite a bit over my break. Just getting some stuff out of the way that drove me crazy, dirty floors and such. I learned at I'm over eduacated and down right thin in this part of the country and that scared me because I still watch cartoons. Went and saw the brothers Grimm this weekend, cute and funny with lots of fun little extra's in the back to make you notice. I liked it. Feeling goood. School is skool. It seems as though I'm just going through the motions and haven't learned much of anything nor retained from summer school. In the end its what you learn from the intership that makes the degree and then if you can get a real job. The rain came a went and we still have the wind, which is nice it's almost a nice temparture outside, I can't wait for fall. Well need to prep for school tomorrow, gotta make a lunch and stuff.

Even better new for spot

So get this, some one wants to buy Spot, so he's off to a new loving home. The new spot will be here with in the week. I can hardly wait. Don't know when but soon.
Crazy thunderstorms today. I had to drive in it. I don't think I should have driven but I really didn't have a choice in the matter the car would just steam right up if I stoped. I drove with the windows down some.
Well my vacation had come to a close and it's rather sad, back to school on Monday. Plus I lost a .5lbs this week and an inch from my waist. This GI diet is working I think. MMMM Fiber. Ok -Claire

Yeah I know it's been awhile

But..... it's been a sad time for me, see spot died. He lived a good life and you'll all be comfortered in the knowlegde that I was with spot until he died, he went peacefully in a power outage. I boxed him up and sent his body back to home, to Brian at Touchtech in renton where the final autopsy will be preformed and then he will have his organs donated to other computers in need. But spot will live on in a new computer a new thinner model, a 14" ibook. I haven't really though much about blogging as of late. I had a bunch of tests in the first two weeks of August and now I have two weeks off then I begin classes again on the 29th poooo. Thats ok they are for sure the last classes I will most likely ever have to take again in my life, unless I go and do something crazy like get my masters or something. odd. Looks like another thunderstorm is comming. When I get my new Spot I'll let everyone know. love claire and the ghost of spot which is haunting my apartment until he can find a new mac to inhabit the iPod is a bit cramped.

So damn hot!!!

Yes it's hot here, so don't ask. It's like I'm in a giant steam room all the time. I just keep waiting for a fat man in towel to walk by. ewwie. Went to see charlie and the chocolate factory over the weekend. It was great!!!!!! So strange and yet so fun. Finished harry potter, which is sad but it had to happen. I also made some rolls and did a bunch of laundry. You can't go outside it just too damn hot.
I took a test today and my favorite teacher quit. needless to say things are kinda crapie I don't even have another book to read, damn! I do have another test this week too, but its all half days. And on the cooler side we might get a cold front which could bring us down to a chilly 88.
heres a funny southern fact for you, in the summer people have their air down around 60 and in the winter they have the heat up to like 80. mmmm I want 70 all year round in side. I want to wear my sweater that I made. Everyone say Hi to Aaron and Emerald in nampa id. HI! ok well gotta go.
