A Few Things.

January 22nd, 2010 at 9:49 am. Posted in Just Rachel.

*  I’m getting marrrrrrrried!  This is not a surprise.  Obviously.   BUT, rather than clutter up my blog over here with wedding stuff… I’ll be posting over at Bridal Bloggettes! Add us to your reader and follow our adventures to wedded bliss!

*  This morning was full of AWESOME and started off with a very unexpected phone call from my honey.  I seriously had to catch my breath when it was him on the other end of the line.  It was just after 7 this morning and it was a weird 609 area code number.  Forgetting that they patch calls from Iraq through a local base, I was SO not going to answer.  Thank God I did, I was greeted with a “Good Morning Baby” and was able to start off my day smiling from ear to ear.

*  The internet has rallied behind one if it’s own and come together to make a pretty awesome video and raise over $2,500.  I can’t believe that a little idea has expanded to get this much attention.  If you haven’t made a donation yet, please consider giving up your latte and helping us triple our original goal of $1,000.  You might not think that your $5 matters but oh, it does.

*  I think Heidi and I would like to hang out in New York City for the day sometime in the near future.  No real plans, but lots of cupcakes and good food and cheap drinks.  Interested?

*  I hate the winter.  During the fall, my nails were so long and pretty.  Now that the temperature is hovering right around freezing, my skin has been so dry and awful, I can’t slather on enough lotion.

*  I have a little bit of exciting news and as soon as I get the go ahead from the powers that be, i’ll share.  I’m a little giddy about it really.

*  I really need to clean out and reorganize my google reader.  Is there an easy way to just start fresh?  That would be awesome.

*  Speaking of starting fresh, i’m DYING for a new blog design.  Something clean and simple and pretty.  We’ll see.

*  Have you submitted your love story to Project Love Story yet?  It doesn’t have to be the “boy meets girl” type of love story.  It can be girlfriends, family, pets… whatever.  Be creative!  Email me or comment here for info on how you can help this awesome little project to grow!

*  Work is currently giving me a big fat headache.  I’ve really got to work on setting my goals and getting the eff out of here.

*  Matt left 46 days ago.  It’s been 46 days since i’ve seen him.  i have another 120ish to go.  That makes me like… not a whole lot done.  Cue the tears.

*  I really hate when I stop and think about how long he’s been gone and how long it will be until I see them again.

*  I ordered all new office furniture from Target the other day.  I’m so excited to get started on this.  It’s my present to Matt for when he comes home.  Expect lots of posts and pictures!

I’d love to meet up in NYC if/when you decide to come; lately I can’t get enough of it and may even be moving to Manhattan soon!

Sounds like you have lots of exciting things going on!

There’s nothing like that phone call is there? I remember that feeling. It was amazing and the happiness seemed to last longer than normal. So glad you got to talk to Matt.

As for a new blog design, you should check out http://foreverdesignstudio.com. She’s on hiatus right now but if you want an example of her work, check out http://frequencymagazine.net (Total cost was around $60 for logo, icons, graphics, installing the theme, etc. You really can’t beat it!)

Take care, Rachel and I think staying busy is a key to getting through this deployment!

That’s great that you got to talk to Matt this morning! What a great way to start your day.

You have already made it 46 days and have survived. Just keep going….one day at a time.

I organized my Google Reader by putting everything into folders by topic and/or priority to read. I have something like 5 folders now and it soothes my brain :)

Oh, and 1/4 done with deployment is awesome!

Rebekah’s last blog post..Does he wear girls? pajamas or something?

I am currently working my way through organizing my Google Reader. Mainly because I got annoyed how Blogger Followed blogs automatically organize themselves into a separate folder. So I’ve got folders within folders, everything organized by the type that they are. ocd much?

It’s taken me 14 days, 2 hours a day. I am constantly discovering new blogs, and am currently reading 624 blogs. This weekend I get to read over 2000 posts from blogs that I have not managed to keep up with during these two weeks. Hells yeah.

Try not to concentrate on how long he’s been gone and how long he’s gonna be away for, just think about how good it’ll be when he’s back.. As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. :)
