I think I'm literally addicted. Once I start reading a book.....I'm entranced. I can no longer comprehend that I'm reading a book, but I actually feel like I'm the main character. If that makes sense. I get so into the book I'm reading, I forget my surroundings around me. My poor hubby and daughter calling my name, trying to get my attention, but I'm too into the book.
14 down and just 36 more to go for my goal that I've set. I want to read 50 books before 2010, which actually I'm trying to read more than that, while also studying for my tests on EHF and also working on my Photography Business. Next week though, I don't think I'll have time for reading, so I have to make up for it now. I have family arriving on the 26th to the 6th of July. My focus will be on them and also finishing up this darn school which is giving me a headache now. My last module is NKO based...which everything is online and even the Radio Room is Virtual. Yeah, I'm annoyed because I can't really learn from reading off a computer screen and not actually seeing and touching the equipment in person. What made the Navy think this would help us learn? Ha...really, I think someone needs to say something. Actually the Navy is rethinking their strategies because I just happened to read in the Navy times the other week, that maybe that is why most of the sailors aren't comprehending their job. I remember learning from books and instructors talking about the equipment since they had worked with the equipment for 20 years. Here I am a Computer Geek for life. Give me a broken computer that won't boot, has a blue screen of death, someone trying to hack the network, a person breaking rules by looking at porn sites and doesn't know I can see every site they've been to and can even take over there computer from a different location or even a full blown virus on it which won't even go away and I'm in HEAVEN. Did I mention I'm a computer geek? LOL Well, I'm finally learning that other side of my rate....The Tech Control side...Ugh...how I dreaded it. I'm not interested about frequencies, baud rates, communication equipment or even how radio is on a ship since I will not step foot on a ship again. This is it...I'm done after this last two years. Reenlisting is not an option for me and I'm tired of having Khakis and familly members try to persuade me to stay it. Even if they try to throw another bonus at me...I'm not doing it. I will have 10 years in when I eventually get out. Yeah, I know half way there...but really ITs do so much better in the civilian sector. 6 figures sounds so much better than 5 figures. Plus, my hubby is even going to get a degree in it..so that means another 6 figures. Life is looking great! ;) Plus, on top of that Photography. Computers & Photography: Two Passions of mine...something that no one can take away from me. I've already been offered "IT" jobs out in the civilian sector. That is why my husband is reverting to the "IT" field since he knows how demanding the "IT" field is.
On to other things...Alexia, our beautiful Princess who has turned into a Natural Model. I think she has watched too many episodes of America's Next Top Model with me because she's starting to pose like the models on there. Watch out Tyra Banks, you already have your future America's Next Top Model and she lives under my household and is 39 inches tall. I'll have to post pictures to show what I mean about the Natural modeling.
She turns 4 in less than a month...but I'm starting to think she's turning 15 because she definitely has come to the stage where she thinks she's older than she really is. How I would gladly go back to the terrible twos. Now I know what my Mom went through. It's making me re-think if I want to try for a 2nd child. I told my husband if our 2nd child is a "girl" I will be getting my tubes tied afterwards. If we have a "boy" though, I'll gladly have a 3rd child. As of right now, I'm starting to think I may end up being blessed with another girl.
When we do decide to try to conceive I'm going to just wait and see. I probably won't even find out the sex of our next child. I want it to be a surprise. I'm not kidding though, if I have another girl, tubes will be tied and I'll feel terrible for my hubby because than he'll be dealing with 2 girls who are exactly like me, not just one. LOL
Well, it's off to bed for me since I have school in the morning. I will try to update as much as I can and I'll definitely be posting pictures of my Beautiful little model.
Hope everyone has a GREAT rest of the week. I'm so looking forward to the weekend getting here. :)
