50) What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up?
“Can I put off grocery shopping for one more day?” The answer was no.

Her Majesty and I are back in San Diego.  I already miss my parents, my pups and air conditioning. 

I’ll be able to get back on track with my frugal stuff though.

I was taking pics of the pups and noticed that in just about every shot of Frankie, she manages to look so serious and regal (and pretty).

Hershey on the other hand, is really stinkin’ cute, but manages to look like the doofiest dog ever in at least half the shots.

I just got an e-mail from Sailor Boy saying he was nominated for Sailor of the Quarter!  Keeping my fingers crossed that he gets it.  I’m so proud of him.  He’s gone from absolutely hating the navy, to really taking his job seriously and being damn good at it.

Despite my recent lack of posts, I’m still alive.  I’ve been at my parents house in New Mexico since the 15th.  Will be here until July 10th.  I’ve just been hanging out with the parents and the pooches.

I’ve done some more crochet.  I didn’t bring knitting needles as I figured dull crochet hooks would be easier to get on the plane than sharp, metal needles.  Have really only been working on bags.  I’ve done 3 more of the string bags and am now working on a different crocheted bag.  Will post pics when I get around to it.

I started on J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood novels.  They’re ok vampire stories.  There are a couple things that irk me though.  The kre8tiv name spellings are a little tiresome.  Also, my ideal vampires don’t listen to rap.  That just doesn’t sit right with me.

I also decided to paint my bedroom.  My mom had painted it peach for me and stenciled stars on the wall over my bed (peach is one of my fave colors and I collected star stuff).  That was about 7 years ago.  I decided it was time for a change, so I painted it Napa Valley green with a Tea Leaf green accent wall.  Sailor Boy said it was ugly but I happen to disagree very much.  I love the new colors.  I even put on new outlet covers and painted the hook rack to match.
