Notta Lotta Going on

Nothing much to report from here. I've been getting things situated at the house, and it's finally starting to feel like home. The 3rd bedroom is a catch all, it's got all the office and craft stuff, plus the elliptical, a large stack of boxes, and the wardrobe that wouldn't fit in my room. Speaking of, the wardrobes they brought are crap-tastic, the wood is crappy, they are big and bulky and one smells like it lived in a bar before here, but they hang stuff. I've got one in each bedroom, and they are all full of my clothes. Aiden's clothes are still in suitcases, until his dresser gets here, and my uniforms all hang in his room for now. I've been looking around at ones to buy, and once I actually start getting paid the rent from the AF (it'll be a nice back-payment) I'm going to buy some decent ones downtown.
I bought a little pine cabinet a while back for the entry way, and I've been trying to get it painted. I bought white spray paint, and I'm kinda white-washing it. If I ever get it all the way painted (never fails, it'll be sunny and nice and the minute I get it all out of the garage to paint, it starts raining) I'm going to distress it some. I think it'll turn out nice, if I ever finish it.
I'm thinking of hitting up an auction next weekend, I need some new bookcases, my cheap Target ones have about had it, and I don't want to unpack the books until I find something.

When I first started working, the days felt like years long, I was sitting in a room all day staring at books and numbers and trying to learn. Now that I've moved on to position training, and I'm actually doing something, the days fly by. Talking with London is almost like talking with the Koreans, everything has to be said slow and in a specific order, or nothing gets accomplished. After my 2nd day talking with them, I figured that out, and now I'm able to get things done a little quicker.

I'm thinking about getting a Jeep. At first I was going to order a new one through the BX, a Liberty, but the more I thought about it, the worse the idea got. I'm used to driving a UK car here, so changing sides of the car would just cause more confusion. Plus, I'm more likely to mess up a car here than anywhere else, so new isn't practical, I'll wait till it's time to leave and get one before going back to the states (if I decide to go back). So I was looking up used ones online last night, just to get an idea of what's available and what kind of cash to expect to spend. *FYI, a US Liberty is called a Cherokee here* Anyway, today driving home from errands on base, I saw an old school Cherokee with a for sale sign, so I wrote down the number. It's a 95, with 130K miles, and she only wants 900 pounds (about $1400). I'm going to call USAA and find out what insurance would be on it, and I'm going to drive it tomorrow. She said the only thing "wrong" is that she doesn't know if the 4 wheel drive works, she's never tried. If I do decide to get it, I'll keep the car most likely. The car gets good mileage, and that way I'll have a back-up when one breaks, which is the norm for me.

Oh, the new Harry Potter movie comes out this week...I'm so freaking excited, everytime the preview comes on in the breakroom at work, I make everyone be quiet! I've decided not to take Aiden, at least not until I see it first, it's supposed to be darker than the others, plus, I don't want to have to chance someone having to go potty in the middle and missing something.

That's all folks...oh, and my email works...so if you're bored, send me a line or two...
