Hello

I've noticed that I have quite a few new followers this past month! I hit 100!! WOO HOOO!

So. Say hello, I want to know who you are (everyone not just the new people). How did you find my blog? Anything you want to see more of? Or do I rock the way I am?

16 & Knocked up....

You watch that show? It's great stuff. I want to punch a bitch after a few of them, but it really is grade A entertainment.

Some of these girls need to step up and do what they need to do, or keep their legs shut. I get it. Not everyone means to get pregnant, but you can still do what you need to. If all you want to do is go out and party and you HAVE to have someone else taking care of your kid, then once again, keep your legs shut. I don't want a debate on here.....but I'm 100% pro-adoption & pro-life. I was young when I got pregnant, but I knew what I had to do and I did it. I never made my Mommy get up in the middle of the night to watch my kid because I was too drunk/hungover. I knew my choices and once again did what I needed to do for my child. I was lucky, I had J by my side and I already had a ring on my finger. Just because you're a teen doesn't mean you can't do it the right way! But I do know some women who are older and are still clueless on what to do with a child. If drinking is your number 1 priority, maybe you should rethink having kids (I'm just saying).

These poor girls and their douche(I love that my spell check knows this word, great times) bag boyfriends (not one of them has yet to have a good guy). Why these girls put up with some of this stuff is beyond me! Doormats.

It's more this season that is so bad....last season they had some decent guys. Like the couple who gave their daughter up (Caitlin & Tyler) they really thought about it and made the best choice. This season is sooooo different.

Facebook(& Blogs) & You

So I've been wondering a few things. lol. Here we go.

When you add someone to your facebook, do you write a little note to say hello? Or do you just leave it? When someone that you knew-ish in high school adds you, do you accept it? Do you write them a hello or wait for them to write you one? I'm not on the IN when it comes to things like this and am afraid I'm being rude(GASP! Kim, rude, NO!).....

How about on blogs? When you get a new follower do you go thank them? I'm so not any good at this. I don't want to be rude, but I'm not fake. I can't just comment on anything. NOTE to my followers, I read your blogs, but won't post unless I have something to say. If you would like me to uber-stalk you and post on everything, by all means leave me a comment asking me to stalk you, I have some free time and I would be glad to be of service! Or when I get a comment from a new person I try to go and drop a little note, but I feel so silly doing it. lol.

So, I guess the question of the day is......do I be nice and over-comment or do I need to worry about getting an unwanted restraining order? (joking. Kinda.)

Sub-Lime

I love woot. They always have the greatest shirts. For today only....sub-lime. Click HERE to go to the woot site.

Not about the book club!!

Few random things.....

The sun is out and shining here in New England! I can't wait to start making beach trips again! The boys went to the park and played soccer for a bit today. Landon has cabin fever up the yin-yang so it was great for him to run a bit.

We're getting family pictures done this weekend if the weather holds out. It's the first time in a long time that J has had the whole weekend off. I'm picky about pictures, I don't do the store, pretty background, stand here, look up and smile type of things (we haven't done those since Landon was 18 months!). I like to go out and have someone shoot pictures of us as we are being us. My neighbor just happens to take the most amazing pictures (she's taken the beach ones from last deployment, Landon's birthday and the snow pictures). I love what she does and I love all of the great places we can go out here in CT.

Ummmm I've been helping quite a bit in Landon's class. I love it. I love to see him grow and change and school has been so perfect for him. I no longer feel bad for making him an only child. I love his school and I love his teacher, she always knows what I would do (like put in a book order) and calls if I didn't. lol.

I have a few posts running around in my head so I will try to get them up within the next day or so.

Name that club!

To all the people who read my blog and are NOT doing the bookclub....I'm so sorry this has over run my blog the past week! After this I will be back to regular blogging, I promise! Hang in there!

To the book clubbers! I've been told by a few people that the book club needs a name! If you have any ideas please let me know!

First book*EDIT FOR NEW PEOPLE WHO WANT TO JOIN*

Alright! We have a book for the first month!

Click HERE to read about the book club and join in!! (all you have to do is add your name to the list and read and post every week once we start. If you don't want to read every book, you don't have to! It's just for fun and to have people to talk about the same book with!)

We are going to start on the first of April. We will read 100 pages a week. If people can't keep up then we can switch it for the following month. As of right now we will check in on Thursdays just because the 1st is a Thursday, lol.

The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks

(Won with almost half the votes ending with 6)

What it's about.....

Seventeen year old Veronica "Ronnie" Miller's life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alientated from her parents, especially her father...until her mother decides it would be in everyone's best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie's father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church.

The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story of love on many levels--first love, love between parents and children -- that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that love can break our hearts...and heal them.

Giveaway Winner!!!

Jenny Strong!

Your package will be in the mail next week!

I will be doing more giveaways soon! I had so much fun doing this one!

Pleasantly Surprised*EDIT*

Last week I went to my first FSG(boat wives group for you non-military folk) meeting in almost two years. I was surprised how normal it felt. Aside from it being run WAY differently now, it was alright. I got conned into helping out and doing much more then I thought I would get roped into my first meeting back....lol. But it was good. We are kicking thing into gear coming up with ideas for the boys' deployment. I love knowing that we make things a little easier by showing that we care.

Married but Dating?

Being a Navy Wife can sometimes be a tricky thing. You move often and have to make friends all over again. Meeting new wives is like dating. Most of the time you get set up or you run into them somewhere, you plan to call or e-mail, you set up a time and place to meet, you get ready not wanting to give this new person the wrong first impression....then you meet. If the meeting goes well you make a second date. It continues.

Sometimes you are friends with people just because you are in the same situation. But everyone is different. I've met some people that I wish I hadn't, been friends with some that I had almost nothing in common with and I've met some of the best friends I could ever imagine. You get an occasional stalker and people you feel awkward running into at the store. But I feel that for every 3 duds I meet I find one of the most amazing people, friends that even if it weren't for them completely understanding me and my nutjob life, I would be friend's with in the real world.

So. Take a chance, put yourself out there. Say "Hi" to the lonely girl at the commissary, she might just be your new best friend(or she will stalk you till you get a ristraining order......kidding! Kinda).

VOTE!

Book clubbers- Please vote (to the left) for our first book to read.

Copy and paste into Barnes and noble (dot) com to see what the books are about. Each one looks interesting! Feel free to recommend books for the following months! We need to get a feel of what everyone likes to read.

Let talk about books.....

Quite a few people are interested in doing the book club! Yay! I'm so excited! I'm going to do it how the other one was set up.

We are going to check in once a week. Everyone can write their own post and we will have a linky thing here so we can hop to and from every ones page. I might do a prompt or we can switch around and let other people pick the prompt.....?

We will vote on the next book two weeks prior to starting it (since I know some people like to order them online or get them from the library).

What I need to hear from you.

• What day of the week should we check in?
• How long should we take on each book?
• What books do you recommend to be on the choice list for our first book?
• Do we want to start on the first of April?

Book club.

If you haven't yet, go enter my giveaway by clicking here! You can only enter till 11:59 PM(east coast time) on the 15th.

Ok, the point of this blog. I love reading, I think it's so much fun. I really love it when people are reading the same books as me and we can talk about them. I'm in a few book clubs and the online one I'm in isn't going so well........so I think I might start my own. Who would be up for it? It's not fun if it's only me talking to myself every week (trust me. Been there, done that.....the voices aren't always nice(but they do tell some REALLY great jokes)). ANYWAY. Who would want to join in on the fun? We could figure out how long we want to take for a book(maybe a month per book?). Let me know if you would be interested and I will get something together.

Giveaway!

GOLD!

Hi. My name is Kim and I'm a girl. With this comes random mood swings and spurts of crying. I can't help this and it's best for you to just stay quiet, nod and slowly back away.

My whole house has the flu. I've said this before, If throwing up was an Olympic sport, I would take home the gold. I've always been on the sick side and my fear of needles prevents me from ever trying to figure out why I'm always sick. Catch 22.

The worst part is I get weepy when I'm sick. I hate feeling helpless. HATE it. So today has been filled with lots of sleeping and reading. J got me Starbucks to help, and it did just that.

Now I'm on here trying to figure out what to write about. Me being a bitch is always on my mind. Haha. I've spent the last few days catching up with people I knew in High School. One was an old boyfriend. We talked about me and how I've never molded to what anyone wants. A few great quotes from the conversation......."Yeah, a few of my friends didn't like you, mostly because you told it like it was, no one likes to hear everything the exact way people think it" and "Do you remember who you are? Did you tell him to shove it? That's what the old you would have done". Glad to know I haven't changed in 10 years.

I will write more on this topic later because it fires me up, but if I could pick one thing that I NEVER want to be, that would be a doormat. I am who I am and I think everyone should be. I don't think I'm a downright mean person, but I will never tell you what you want to hear just because you want to hear it. Move on to the next person if that's what you want from me. But on the good side....I tell some REALLY great jokes!
