feeling: Alone, incomplete, miserable, you name it

I'm home. I am safe and none of my flights back were cancelled. Although I don't think I would have minded if they had been, just to spend more time with Rian.
My aunt Karen picked me up from O'hare and we stopped for breakfast on the way to my aunt Becky's house in one of Milwaukee's suburbs. Karen is extremely religious so I got to listen to her talk about God and she made 'us' say "grace" before eating because our totel at Mcdonald's had been $7.77 and the total at Starbucks has been $6.66. XD
Becky was at the store when we arrived and Ed, Grandma and Reine, who were supposed to be driving me from Milwaukee back home, weren't there yet. I had been hoping they'd be there so I could head straight home but that hope was dashed. So, I missed Samantha's little birthday party thing and I felt bad because I told her I'd see her on Sunday. )=
Karen had to leave because she sold her condo and is preparing for a 12 year mission trip Romania so I hung out with my cousin Violet who is now 13 and I simply cannot believe how grown up she seems. I always remember her as an 8 year old but she isn't anymore.
Eventually Becky returned home and we hung out as she planned a meal and I realized Ed and the groupwouldn't be there for several hours. We played cards and talked about the family, my trip, etc. I really enjoy being around her and hope that I will be able to spend more time with her in the future. We talked about how she looks like Dr. Weir from Stargate: Atlantis. (=
I don't often have the chance to spend time with Becky, Violet or Karen so that was nice. I have more of a chance to see Ed or my grandparents but I don't or can't make the effort so seeing them was also pleasant. We all stayed at Becky's for supper after which I started falling asleep until we left.
On the way to Grandma's it started raining and then eventually turned to snow. Apparently, there was some big semi crash on the highway and it was started to go completely white out so Ed was relieved once he was able to find the first exit from the highway.
We stopped at Grandma's long enough for refreshments and for Ed and I to make our calls back home to Wausau then we transferred all my stuff from Reinie's car to Ed's and headed home. It took us about 2 hours to make a 45 minute trip because of the snow and road conditons, however, and I was so tired that I bought a Diet Dew at a gas station instead of Dew and didn't notice until after I started srinking it!
At home, Wendy was all huggy and told me she loved me which I appreciated. Karen gave me another box and bag of stuff and I have an additionally bag of gifts I bought for friends so I have quite a bit more than I did when I left which might seem expected ot you but I didn't expect to buy anything at all, really!
I'm slowly readjusting to being home. Somehow, everything seems not quite right although I know it should be. I was in shock at what a mess everything is and I know, for the most part, it's my fault and just how I left it.
However, it would have been nice for the roommate to do a bit of cleaning. At least swepe and mop all the tiles floors or clean the bathroom. It would have been a nice surprise to come home to.
Alas, I will have to start cleaning. I think I'll take a shower first and then tackle the bathroom and see what I can do about the front hall.
I feel extremely incomplete. I cried a bit when it was time to sleep because I didn't want to sleep without Rian. While part of me is relieved to be home, I know that I should be with him and I'm not so sure I can keep doing this. I know he would have left for Afghanistan anyway, even if I had been able to stay somehow, but I still didn't want to leave. )=
Well, off to the shower for me.

Aww
Rawr!
Or it will be soon! So let me know your thoughts on what and whom should be nominated for an Oscar!
Personally, I hope Reese and Joaquin receive something for their roles in Walk the Line which was simply an excellent movie and I think there's a real possibility of that, I'd also love to see Robots win because it was also very well done but I'm extremely skeptical about that one.
Additionally, I've updated the poll and fixed up some errors in some of the quizzes and on thecontent page.
for your viewing pleasure and entertainment I have added a new page to the interactive content section: visitor's choice site of the month. Head on over to see just what the fuss is about (er, make some fuss if you could ;)).
Lastly, I've updated the featured site. It is now the awesome papergown.org. Click here to read what I think of this site and view the past featured sites.
PS - If you're at all bored head over to Yakvar's page and ask her/him/it your pressing questions, silly inquiries or downright inane inquisitions!

hearing: Godhead - Eleanor rigby
feeling: warm
wanting: my rian
Well, as it turns out my third and final flight was cancelled due to the weather. Rawr. So I had to book another hotel except that this time I was in a different city after a successful second flight and the airport staff as well as that of the hotel spoke much less English and I pretty much ran out of money, well Japanese money.
I don't know why they had to freaking fly me to the northern island anyway if my destination was the main island but I suppose that's how they make their buck. Anyway, this means that I spent not 1 but 2 nights in Japan when I had just planned on passing through. I took pictures of things on both hotels and some random Japanese stuff for Wendy.
However I did finally make it to my Rian and we've been having a pretty splendid time, if I do say so myself. I'm quite happy with my hair (for once, yay!) and I've been pretty happy these last few days (however long it's been).
PS, don't tell him that when I said I was taking a walk, the ninjas really came back for me. -covers bruises with makeup* >_>

hearing: cheesy hotel nusic and a squeaky fan?
feeling: intrigued
wanting: to be with my husband
Just a small note thst I sm indeed in Japan. The flying was fine although the timing and the vastness of O`hare were a bit unnerving. Luckily, I nade myself an American friend who just so hapens to work at DISNEYLAND in Tokyo. She plays the princesses ~ how cool is that? Wait until I tell Samantha that I met Cinderella!
Anyway, I probably would have been lost without her but I sm not. In fact, I`m currently using the internet at a hotel because I decided it:s work the 50 some dollars for a hot shower and a real bed. I`ve really been sleep deprived as of late.
I:m going to make a few phone calls then shower and hit the hay but after this: did you know that I cannot find Mt. Dew anywhere in this hotel? I can get MinuteMaid, Coke or even freaking Evian but not Dew. Rawr!

hearing: some myspace band
feeling: sore and cold
wanting: to be with my Rian! ^_^
I had been fussing with Aim to see if I could get it on my cell because my company doesn't support it as software or whatever but I thought I could use it with my texts.
Finally, I get it to work but it's uber annoying because even when I'm replying on the computer, it sends the messages to my phone. Plus, AIM on my computer says I'm signed on in 2 different places. Anyway, I thought I'd finally got it to sign me off from my phone but I guess I was wrong because..
I was just checking my message and there was an AIM message from Rian telling me that he loves me which he must have sent while I was sleeping. <3

hearing: the heat.. wait, it just shut off.
feeling: angry
wanting: my hot chocolate to cool down
So I spent the last couple of days tearing up (and down) every room in the house looking for my good lotion and where do I find it? Not 2 feet from where I last saw it; it had been on the chair and was on the floor in front of the entertainment center to the right. When do I find it? Long after I've given up all hope of finding it. I was actually just about to put on my other lotion when it popped up. Had I already look there? You bet.
Ugh. Don't you just hate that?
