God am I ready for this deployment to be over...I suppose in ways this deployment is/was a lot easier than last time... However last time I was naive about a lot of things. *yawnnnnnnnnn* Oh well. I'M EXHAUSTED... and going to the gym in the a.m. Dear god... I'm going to be useless to Ashley on monday.  I just feel like my life is in slow motion right now. You start to feel that way when you live alone for so long... at least, thats what I've noticed. Luke is going to be out for the next couple of days, so I guess that means I get to sleep in past seven...and gain an hour of sleep or so. Though I wouldn't trade talking to Luke for all the extra sleep in the world... I just want him home.

I watched 'Much Ado About Nothing,' cute movie, very amusing and enjoyable. I love period-like films like that. IE pride and prejudice, sense and sensibility,  jane eyre etc. Anyway I think its bedtime. 1/3 of my water left... that will make 48 ounces today... bye bye soda fix!

** Recent Fave... I love Trapt <3**

Ready When You Are lyrics

Are you having trouble keeping up?
Seeing this thing through
I want to know who you're running from
Me or you?
You're too confused to open up
Feel the way I do
I want to know who you're thinking of
'Cause I really have no clue

Another game of charades
Don't you know everybody plays?
I don't want to lose to you that way
Maybe we'll be different this time around
Maybe we'll be different, I don't know
Don't want to strangle this
So I'm holding back for now

Calm down, don't take it too far
I know only time can heal scars
So I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are
Don't want any false starts
I can do without the time apart
So I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are

Are you having trouble keeping up?
You know that I will wait
I wonder if it's good enough to make you stay
You're too confused to open up
You don't know what to say
Well, you can tell me if you think it's love
I won't be far away

Another game of charades
Don't you know everybody plays?
I don't want to lose to you that way
Maybe we'll be different this time around
Maybe we'll be different, I don't know
Don't want to strangle this
So I'm holding back for now

Calm down, don't take it too far
I know only time can heal scars
So I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are
Tied down, don't want any false starts
I can do without the time apart
So I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are

I want to know if you're thinking of me
I'll be counting the hours even though I know I'm free
Too soon to take a chance
No more questions left to ask
I could be anything, but the one thing
I'm not sure you want to be

Calm down, don't take it too far
I know only time can heal scars
So I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are
Don't want any false starts
I can do without the time apart
I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are

Calm down, don't take it too far
I know only time can heal scars
So I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are
Calm down, don't want any false starts
I can do without the time apart
So I'm ready when you are (when you are)
I'm ready when you are

Calm down, I'm ready when you are
Calm down, I'm ready when you are
Calm down, I'm ready when you are
Calm down, I'm ready when you are

its been three days since you called me
i really don't know how much more of this i can take.
its me that's pathetic
checking my phone every single second.
to see if you been calling,
to see if you still want me.
you never came.

she was the one
the only one for me
i made mistakes but
she always forgave me
she was the one my only
sunshine she kept my feet
on the ground she kept my
head in the clouds.
she kept my head in the clouds.

so what do you gotta say for yourself
that i haven't heard from somebody else.
don't try to impress me with make believe
stories darling please spare me I'm
already hurting. and hey on the drive
home i heard our song on the radio it
didn't really burn at first but it came
hard when the coarse hit the second verse.
[so what do you think.]

she was the one
the only one for me
i made mistakes but
she always forgave me
she was the one my only
sunshine she kept my feet
on the ground she kept my
head in the clouds.(2x)

love it hurts, way to much.
love it hurts, way to much.

she was the one
the only one for me
i made mistakes but..

she was the one
the only one for me
i made mistakes but
she always forgave me
she was the one my only
sunshine she kept my feet
on the ground she kept my
head in the clouds.
she kept my head in the clouds.

"I Hate Christmas Parties"

I hope it snows this week,
A snow flake on your cheek
Would make this Christmas so Beautiful
But that would just bring the pain
Cause things can’t stay the same
These Holidays won’t be wonderful

I look under the tree
But there’s nothing to see
Cause it’s a broken heart that you’re giving me

I can’t figure you out
Is this what Christmas is all about
Cause it’s a broken heart that you’re giving me

I don’t wanna talk
I’m sick of all this talking
A broken heart wrapped up in a Box
This tear drops in my stocking


I hate Christmas parties,
They offer me some punch,
But I just shrug
I hate Christmas parties
You and the cookie
Tray hear me say "Ba! Humbug"

Ful la la la la la…la la la la la la
Ful la la la la la…la la la la la la
Ful la la la la la…la la la la la la

I look under the tree
But there’s nothing to see
Cause it’s a broken heart that you’re giving me

So yesterday was busy busy busy. My parents came over and helped me empty the sediment tank for the water system. What a lot of work! Luke and I usually haul like 2-4 buckets of water out of the crawl space and dump it in the woods... my parents and I mustve hauled like 20 + buckets out of there... We also snow blowed the driveway and got our christmas trees.

Today I woke up early for a chiro appointment, went to work, and then from work went straight to the college. mleh.. So tired... I was at the college until seven when they closed the CIOS lab. I'll go back tomorrow after work. I need to finish the timings for my document processing class. I am so tired of school, really feeling burnt out. Thank goodness the semester ends on the 12th. Well I'm going to get back to work on my document processing class, and finish up my term paper, then take notes on hist of art final for wednesday.

It's 3:30 am and I have just finished the second portion of my paper. Now its five pages long :D and I still have to do the third part... I think that I will leave that for tomorrow. I'm exhausted....hell, I was exhausted the last time I posted. However; I feel better for having stayed up and worked on this instead of procrastinating more. I did take a break while I was writing the second part to fold and put away laundry as well as general picking up of my house. Why was I cleaning at 2 in the morning? Who knows, I'm a strange one.

 I have a feeling I'm going to have a restless sleep. Seems my cats bug me more when I actually need the sleep. I was going to make up a sign off like in Sleepless in Seattle, but I'm not Wistful in Wasilla, or Anxious in Anchorage...and those were the only two that came to mind :P Maybe Wallowing in Wasilla.... but I'm not wallowing, I'm just really tired. Maybe I'll save that sign off for when I am really wallowing. Time for bed.

Contrast and compare the work of Cimabue and Giotto: Completed

My brain is exhausted... go figure since its 12:16 am. First part of my term paper is completed..

"Describe the origins of the Gothic style of architecture. Describe the significance of the role Abbot Suger played in the reconstruction/building of Saint Denis cathedral. You may focus on the interaction of the church and s tate, underlying philosophical principles, construction, consideration, or aesthetic issues in any combination."

How the hell are you supposed to do that in a page and a half, double spaced?? Good god, thats like three paragraphs..if that. If I'm going to write a decent response on that I'd need like several pages in the least... that makes my brain hurt to think about how I have to limit it.

Bleh, I don't want to write anymore! Come on Mary, focus, focus, focus.

Luke got to see his brother today (in Afghanistan) Luke was on the same FOB that his little brother is stationed on/ at  whatever. Anyway I thought that was kind of cool.

I typed a whole bunch more after that last part...but I'm not going to post it, because I was on my soap box venting. Also, if certain family members read it they'd be pretty offended....
