Oh My, Where Did The Last Three Weeks Go?
I have been on the computer nearly continuously for the last three weeks, yet no blog update! Before I tell you why (and get you all excited, hahahahaha), I will update on ME.
Washington acknowledged my retirement. Notice that I did not say "approved". They just said that they HAVE it. Okay, no problem. There is a teeny tiny possibility that they could say no but it is unlikely. I downloaded the Illinois RN license form and geez louise - I will be lining up to donate a kidney next week to get this sucker. It came with a 32 page handbook. Don't you hate it when you press print and realize that you just printed the equivalent of the War and Peace?
In other news, I have two trips coming up. My dad has agreed to donate HIS kidney to pay for a trip to see us mid April. We are going to put my van on the auto ferry to Naples and meet up with him in Rome. What we will do after that is anyone's guess. Rome, Pisa, Florence are a given at this point. I was going to drive us back down the coast and take the ferry that way but it would kill way too much time. So we will all get back on the Naples auto ferry and show him a tiny bit of Sicily in the Spring. Should be gorgeous by then because we are already seeing cherry blossoms.
The second trip is a four day trip at the end of May to Corfu, Greece to loll on the beach. There is not a lot else to do there but that is okay - I don't think I have had a lolling vacation since becoming a parent!
Okay, okay so what was I doing all that time on the computer? Designing my very first website. Up to this point, I have only dabbled in the single page of my blog. Kim's website has many pages! I have yet to get the shopping cart part of it up and running but that is coming along too. Her store grand opening with be on the 18th of March (SOON!). So go on over to her blog and say hello.

(said with a valley girl voice) OMG I have a link on your site,LOL. How crazy is that.
OH how I wish I could be coming with daddy ( so does Shawna) to see you. Sounds like it's going to be good.Send something back with daddy that you can ONLY get in Italy for me. Like a pretty rock or something like that.
I hope everything goes right for you and your retirement.We're waiting on ya.

Hiya!
Nothing like a webdesign project to make you lose a couple weeks, LOL! I'll be like, "Damn - 200 emails in my yahoo box, huh?"
Hope all is well Over There. I have my fingers in my ears and am loudly humming over the drone of Short Tour Rumors for us. On the other hand, if it's next year (we're not tour complete until Summer '07) then San Juan, PR and Honolulu are open, and I could take a tour on a remote tropical island. PR = good DoD school, and HI = super lax HS laws . . . both options suit me just fine. The 15 year old is making all kinds of noise about "refusing" to PCS with us again, but I suppose she has to exert her fifteen y.o.-ness somehow, and can't always be a delightfully easy sub-adult.
If we make it to '07 here and are offered something stinky for PCS, Jon will retire in lieu of orders, having made his high three at O-3E grade (his promotion date was May '04.)
That's the plan for now. Oy, all the calculator work that went into that (I know you can relate.)
