Crap.

That is what you’re being provided today.

I had this nice long post typed out. I left to go to a meeting and when I came back to post- my stupid session had timed out.

It was the best post I’ve ever written. Ever! It could never be recreated.

So now it’s just time to give you crap. Random crap at that. Let’s get started.

My mom, dad, and sister are enjoying a wonderful vacation back in the states right now.

My dad has his big high school reunion- where his old high school band is going to jam out to a few oldies! I so wish I could see this. My dad is a great drummer. I even bought him personalized drum sticks for father’s day that had his old band’s name on them. I don’t know if he’ll use them, though. He said he didn’t want to mess them up.

They’re also going to the Mall of A-freaking-merica! I’m so jealous. Not only that, but they’re also going to visit colleges for my baby sister P. Can you believe that!? She’s old enough to look for colleges now. I need cake.

No. I’m not bitter. Not bitter at all. Why would I be bitter about the fact that I’m stuck here in the Lake of Fire while my parents are living it up back home? That’s silly! Thankfully, my mounting Wal-Mart list is helping me sleep at night. It’s nice to have personal shoppers!

Oh- and they took Molly. Apparently they think that not only Will and I make sucky parents for a human child, but we’re so bad at parenting our own dogs that they wouldn’t leave theirs with us for a few measly weeks.

I swear I only lock them in the closet every other Sunday!

They said they like having her around and they didn’t want us to have our hands full. They’re lying guys, I know it. So, no Molly. Poor Boz and Lucy.

I think I’ll have to console myself with a piece of cake.

Speaking of! I’ve got a birthday boy in my house this week! Will is turning 27. I think we’re both more excited about the cake than the birthday. Then again, that’s pretty much life in general.

Will made me promise that since there are no parents in country we do whatever he wants. No obligatory dinners, no chores, no appointments- just fun. Or laziness. Whatever the case, I’m really looking forward to this weekend. Lord knows I need one after my sad night at the Steakhouse last week , and then the big double date the night after (that might need to be a seperate post). I need cake because of that too. I’ll be sure to take one for the team and consume an extra piece for all you lovelies out there.

Okay, since I’ve been droning on about cake (and every other boring facet in my life) I guess I should talk about the gym. I started a new program and I’m so excited about it! I was looking forward to it the whole way to the gym. I’m a creature of habit and if someone didn’t change something up for me every few months I’d still be stuck doing the same thing I did last year. I fear some of it is easier than what I was doing before, but hopefully I’m wrong. I worked my legs, triceps, and abs last night. My triceps are sore today, and I have a feeling my legs may be sore tomorrow, but I don’t think it will be too bad- I hope. If you’re interested let me know and I’ll post what I was doing before and what I’m doing now. It’s good stuff! It keeps all that cake from attaching itself to my entire body. Ha, the crowd rushes to request workout ideas...not!

What else?

Today Will ran into a soldier we went to church with a few years ago! What a small world, huh? I always wonder if we’ll see someone we know. I told Will he’d have to take the guy out to lunch one day. You know, to one of the many “fancy” restaurants we have on a military installation.

Want to know something weird? I think I’m afraid of my inbox. I would rather have a pile of work next to my inbox than to have it inside. I’m not quite sure why. All I know is that it makes me weirder than I thought. Seriously, I have two little piles going on right now and then a few things in my inbox- all which do not require my response or attention.

I did tell you this was crap, right?

On another random note, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking today. I really want to have a crown in Heaven. I know that might sound silly and rather ambitious, but the book I’m reading has been talking about it and it’s helped me to remember life is a lot longer than the 75 years on this Earth.  It makes wonder if I’ll have a crown to lay at God’s feet.

See, I have short-timers syndrome. I can barely look ahead to next week let alone eternity. As dumb as this sounds, I sometimes forget my life goes beyond this short time on earth. Sure, I know that, but I forget that my life is bigger than what I think it is. It’s not just about punching in for work, going to sleep, and doing it all over again. It’s about a whole lot more!

That’s been my deep thought for the day. Well, my deep thought tightly condensed for a post entitled “Crap.”

Other than my vacation jealousy, there’s just not a whole lot going on in my life right now other than work. No babies, no looming babies, no vacations, and no other exciting news of note. Because of that, I think I need some cake.

Back to freaking cake! Don’t you love how my post always circles back to food?!

Will requested a Baskin Robbins cake for his birthday this year. He did me proud. Last year it was browines. Brownies!?! Who wants brownies on their birthday!? Not only that- but brownies with no frosting!

I think he wanted to hurt me.

This year, however, he’s more than made up for it. We will be having a chocolate cake with World Class Chocolate ice cream and chocolate frosting. My teeth hurt just thinking about it. Don’t tell his trainer though, okay?

P promised me she would read my blog while she was away, so I told her I’d give her a shout out every now and then, so that is how I shall end this post.

Private to P: Miss P, I love you! I hope you’re having a good vacation. You better write me. If you don’t I will hunt you down and make you do something crazy- like a pizza roll commercial. Ahahaha.

Crap. I miss her.

I need some cake. : )
