***WHEW***

Well, I have to say that one of my last major stressors has dissipated. I have been offered the job that I wanted, working as a civilian on my local Army installation.

Changes

This was written during Friday evening, 8/22/08.
I have been preparing for today for the last 16 years. I am glad that it is here, and I am glad that I am able to explain it to you, yet I am still nervous about the changes in my life. You see, I retired today [...]

My own right of passage… of sorts

Tattoo’s are not as painful as I was led to believe…

I am a nervous nelly…

Paris for President? :gag:

Although I truly cannot stand this woman…. I think this video is funny as shit! (Although, shit is not really funny unless you are a preteen, and then it becomes a giggle-fest if the word is mentioned…)
Also, I think she is way ahead of McCain and Obama with her energy plan…
See Paris [...]
