Carlene's Explosive Life *Blog* (R&R)

Oh how I've missed you all.

Well I've only got 20 more days until he's here!! Yayy!! I'm so excited. But the time keeps going slower and slower.. blehh

He called my dad and asked him something. And I'm 99.99 percent sure it's for my hand in marriage.. but like everyone says, don't get my hopes up, so I'm trying not to but its hard!! I really love this man and would want nothing more than to spend forever with him

So I finally saw my coworker that tried to commit suicide last night and boy was I happy to see him..I did call him a jerk for scaring us all but I'm so thankful he's alive. I just hope he takes this as a sign that he needs to be thankful for everything and he truly has a purpose to be alive.

Today I have work...AGAIN, but I'm excited because after Monday I'll get two days off in a row!!! That hasn't happened in god knows how long... I've been working so much, but this is a good thing because then I'll have enough money for when i want to go to Florida to surprise Benny in either January or February. Probably February because it's more in the middle of when he'll be home again. AND it'll be our one year anniversary ON Valentines day of all days..hehe

Well that's about all I can think of for catching everyone up on right now..
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and can't wait to hear from you all again!!!

<33

im sure its your hand in marriage. anthony might be coming home in 4 days! if they let him!!!!

if he does, you must must must go with me.

thursday?? wow that'd be awesome!!!!! i really hope they do let him come home. and i will definitely try my best to make it there. i have work that night but if he's flying in during the day i'd be able to come

oh, no. he will be getting home probly really late.

i think like 12 midnight. lol. cuz he has graduation that day.


how are you by the way? have you talk to benny today?

ahhh yeah then i'd definitely be able to come =] i don't care how late!!!!
i'm doing really well. just relaxing before i have to head into work..
so how's the christmas tree doing?? hahhaa

haha the tree is good.

my son tries to decorate it with his diapers and socks hhahahah

hahaha aww that's cute..silly boy. did you put lights on it or are you waiting for anthony to come back and do it?

i just put lights for now. but im gonna take them off before he gets home haha

haha yeah then he won't be too upset. =] it'll be fun doing that. i wish i could!!

are you going to the christmas light perade.

Ahhh, I hope Benny asks you to marry him! That'd be sweeeeet! He's gunna be home so soon! YAY.

i cant wait!! ahh im soo excited for you

haha that's awesome you're really excited too!!!! it's going to be amazing!!

what's the christmas light parade?! i've never been to it

i duunnno. it s a light parade. in downtown phoenix

Aww I hope you get proposed to too! That would be exciting!

So today I had another long day at work.. NOT FUN. And for some reason I was just extremely frustrated with everything. I was at my wit's end with everyone and I couldn't figure it out why I would get these weird frustrations.

I'm starting to wonder if it's my body going through withdrawals from my depression meds. I stopped taking them because i didn't think i'd need it anymore but i guess i might need it still =/

I just can't stand to work for petsmart anymore. it seems like a fun place to work seeing puppies and animals all day, but they're so gun ho on corporate policies that we can't have any fun. If I'm caught talking to a customer too long then I'd get in trouble.. It's like wtf?! We should be worried about animals and their health than anything else.

Well I guess I'm just upset with one main person there...and no one likes her. haha it's not just me. She's a manager now and used to be a cashier just like me. Well she's gone on a power trip and thinks she rules the store even though she has only been manager a month and is on the bottom of the food chain. Oh and her position is just hourly manager. Not salary. She means nothing..haha goddddddd she pisses me off..

ANYWAYS

only 19 more days ladies!!!! It's coming up sooo soon. I remember like it was yesterday when I was saying only 5 more months..and look where I'm at now!! I'm so excited to see him again..
AND hopefully my new puppy Charger will be able to come home also. We're having a hard time getting ahold of the guy that's taking care of him right now for us and he was booted out of the EOD program so we have no clue where he could be right now. I hope we still can get him!!

BUT i got some cleaning to do and dinner to cook, so I'll be on every so often tonight.
Love you ladies.
Another day down. Another day closer

Ahh ok. A light parade sounds pretty cool.. When is it?

Aw keep with it.

I hate when people go on power trips. I've known so many friends and people to do it all the time. Its crazy really. Hopefully it gets better or her boss figures it out who knows!

Thats exciting about only 19 more days! I can't even imagine saying 5 months at this point. I admire you for making it!

yeah he has now been gone for about 7.5 months..without seeing him once =/ only pictures and phone calls to get us by. Which I'm not complaining about because he's safe where he's at and we get to talk mostly every day. so it's good. =]
BUT the job he's training for scares the hell out of me

what is he training for?

EOD= Explosive Ordinance Disposal...

Which basically means he's the guy that goes in and disarms bombs.. they're the smartest guessers around..because basically everything they do is just a pretty damn good educated guess..

yikes that really scares the crap outta me.

yeah not so cool!!!! the only plus side about his job is that whenever he deploys it'll only be for 6 months or shorter. so i'm grateful for that

wow that is scary....good luck with that!

well thats good! it half a year.

i hate you. haha
