We're home from Dallas-Fort Worth. It was a nice mini vacay, but glad to be home. While Mitch was in meetings during the day, I slept in, read, shopped, and saw movies. :)) We ate awesome food at night and strolled Sundance Square.



I was ready to be home though. I'll post more pictures soon.

XOXO

Forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand our war...

 

The above soldier who died for no reason is my friend. Daniel loved country music, boots, cowboy hats, and tight jeans. He was different and stuck out but he didn't care. He was who he was. I haven't seen Daniel in about 2 years because he's always deployed somewhere but we stay in touch on Facebook/MySpace. On Christmas when he was discouraged because he was missing his son's first Christmas I told him, "Merry Christmas. Sorry you couldn't be home but we love you and thanks for the sacrifices you make for us." We talked last week on Facebook just general chat. Never thought that would be the last time I talked to him. When I read the news on Twitter yesterday I felt like I had been punched in the stomach. I still can't believe it. I've watched the news coverage on 3, 5, and 13 and laugh at the pictures of him in his rodeo and Daniel asking his mother to insure his CDs for thousands of dollars. I cry randomly because it's not fair and the war is now real for me. I didn't care before but now I see my friend died and for what? I know Daniel was fighting for his country and he's proud of what he was doing/did and I'm proud of him too.

But what good are we doing over there? Obviously, we aren't wanted over there. I understand that the conditions over there are bad and we're trying to make them better for the civilians over there but I don't have a dog in this fight. Why is it our business? They flew OUR planes into our buildings. Maybe there are no weapons of mass destruction and if there are we should stand and fight here. Protecting our soil, not trying to rule and set up government in someone else's country. NOT our place. Bring our soldiers home or give me a reason my friend had to be blown up by an IED.

I need someone to be blunt and tell me why. I need someone to talk to me like a stubborn child who doesn't know anything because I can't get it.

Wishful Wednesday: Dream business

Every Wednesday Kelsey @ The Seattle Smith's posts an 'I wish' writing prompt to get us through those hump days. It may be a wish, a hope, a dream, or an aspiration -- some topics may be fun and playful and others more insightful -- but most importantly, it will give us an opportunity to get to know our fellow bloggers a little bit better, and see what makes each of us tick... it's fun. Check her out & play along.



'I wish' .... I had the startup funds to build that company I have always dreamt about, and it would be a:
Weight Loss Camp. I think The Biggest Loser but for people who can't take off for 3 months (or however long they have to take off to go to 'The Ranch'). We would have camp from Friday evening until Sunday afternoon every weekend for 4 months. We'd workout and get personalized workouts to complete on our own during the week. We'd also personalize menu plans for the week and make grocery lists so when you leave camp on Sunday, you can run to the store and be ready for the week. Complete with a spa for weekly mani/pedis/massages. Have physical therapists on staff for all your aches and pains. It would be like a fancy fancy resort.

I'd go if one was available, wouldn't you?

All our bags are packed, we're ready to go.....

Mitch has to go to Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas for work this week. So I'm tagging along. We got all packed up today and are heading out in the morning. He's going to be in his seminar junk everyday basically from 8-3 so I'm going to sleep late, hit the gym in the hotel, SHOP, go to the spa, and see movies.

Our hotel is in downtown Fort Worth in Sundance Square. Named after the Sundance Kid in old westerns. The area includes numerous hotels, restaurants, condos, lofts, shops, museums, bars, clubs, movie theatres, performing arts, concerts and festivals throughout the year. Look at all this stuff to do: http://www.sundancesquare.com/images/map.pdf

Garmin Nuvi in the truck, all of Mom's Vera luggage packed, and camera charged, we're ready to go. :))

My new Patagonia came in just in time for NYE. I love it. Thanks M!

I changed my major from nursing to education. I'm stoked! This semester I'm taking a child psychology class, an American government class, and a math. I'm ready to start classes. Which is bizarre and I'll be over it once they start, but I'm excited and want to finish.

We're going to Dallas this month. M has to go for work and I'm going because.... I wanna shop, be lazy, & not miss the boy. I want a new camera. I'm gonna be better about blogging in 2010... right?! So I need to be able to post my own pics to add to my blog right.

My current internal battle:OR
