Update


UPDATE!:

I've now been in Norfolk VA, for well...
(I opened the little calendar at the bottom of the computer screen to figure out the days, but my brain is much too tired...)
Almost a year, October 30th will be one year exactly..
See! I bet you figured it out so quickly.

Working on helicopters is a busy, tough job so they decided to send me to do something easier, that requires less brain capability..
(One that doesn't require being able to count how many days are left in the year... ha ;D)
So they're sending me to be a gate guard for the base...
(Not really because of my smarts, but because of many other things.)
(My time left here being a big one...)

And yes, I did go to school for this as well. I've never been to so many schools.
Since January of 2009-
Ive been to 5 schools.
ATT.
AWAT.
A School.
C School.
&
SRF-B (Gate guard, "Armed Sentry")
Woo! You'd think I'd be a genius by now! ;)

Anywhoo... This school was very interesting. I learned MACH take downs, handcuffing, employment of the baton, 9mm training, m16 training, 12 gauge shotgun training, personnel and vehicle inspection...
Saving the worst for last..
Oleoresin capsicum- (OC) spray..
(Also known as the worst pain in the world)
Although.. I'm sure all you mothers will beg to differ. ha

I'll be starting October 18th.. All the way through April 18th. GAH!


Well... I've picked up a new Hobby.
Crocheting.
I'm not THAT old am I?
;)

I'm still in the beginner phases, but I'm getting along.
I started off doing Amigurumi-
(The Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures.)
Although, now the birth of baby Dre has given me quite a bit of inspiration.

Tomato-
Cactus-
Baby egg-
Cooked... baby... egg-
Luna Lovegood's (Harry Potter) raddish earrings-
(For a friends Halloween costume)
Mouse baby Beanie-
Owl baby Beanie-
(made without a pattern.. So proud. ;D)
(sitting on top of a toilet paper roll)


Ill be making many many many more things. The ideas just keep coming and coming. :D
