Cap’n stace

Feel free to sing along if you know that one! That’s right I’m in a singin mood! I spent all morning and afternoon doing beachy things. You know, the tuff stuff. Laying on my towel without getting covered in sand, jumping with the waves avoiding saltwater in the eyes, tossing the football, and of course, getting sunburned. Once I got home my cousin and family stopped by for a pizza. They’re on the road again and I’ve been doing homework. My stapler was out of staples, mind you I don’t think I’ve put any in it in about 2 years, but I found the box of staples right where it was supposed to be and that made today even better! It really is the small stuff sometimes.

So I just got home from work after fighting with all of the scary, nasty creepy crawlies that like to fly and crawl in the hanger doors because of all of the magnificent lights. When I went to the kitchen for my bedtime snack what did I find??? A monsterous spider comin’ at me from behind the fridge. Its black body was the size of a nickel and its legs, well, I almost lept on to the counter. I decided the best thing to do would be to stomp on it quickly before it could escape. When I did about 50 teeny tiny spiders burst out of its writhing body, super scream inside of my head. I squished those buggers too, then smashed with the broom and swept the whole mess into the garage under roommies car! Now I know they’ve followed me upstairs and are going to give me nightmares, why couldn’t Merlin have eaten them before I got home?

Working on the night shift is kicking my bum!!! We actually do work on this shift so now I don’t get time to do my homework at work. I’ve been stayin up til 3 or so working on homework and sleeping til noonish everyday, burnin the daylight! I wanted to share with yall my buddy Myli and her babies, miss ya!

What is it about the south and boiling things? When I lived in Louisiana we were always having a crawfish boil, or shrimp boil, or something boil. Some sort of shell fish was going into a ginormous pot of boiling water and we were having a party. When I lived in Maryland, famous for its crabs, we had cakes and I don’t think I saw a huge pot of boiling shell fish the entire time I lived there. Now that I am back in a southernish state the parties are starting again. The other night at work people pitched in and had a crawfish boil, I’m talking 60lbs of crawfish. They laid newspaper on a 6 ft plastic folding table and poured the crawfish and vegetables directly from the pot to the paper. It was such a sight, alas I did not have my camera. I guess we will do a food night once a week so next time I will be prepared. It was a fun evening.

Today I went to get my first set of Invisalign retainers. I thought I was going to get some little tabs glued to my teeth and get aligning trays, but I only got the trays. I will be going back in a few weeks for the tabs and new aligners. My teeth feel weird when the trays are out, and I can tell they are working already. It’s like wearing those fake halloween vampire teeth all the time ‘cept no one else knows. So far they are pretty annoying, and I have to get used to sleeping in them. It’s definately worth it to have my teeth oh so pretty though! I can’t wait til it feels weird to not be wearing them.

Usually I am complaining about having very little to do at work. I don’t want people having the wrong idea about aviation life in the coast guard, when I don’t have much to do that means the choppers are up and running well, and our peeps are taking out the bad guys. It’s just when everything works I get bored. Last week was great, I was busy for almost all five days of work. We replaced gadgets, chased wires, drained fuel, and got greasy! Today wasn’t as busy but I did some work, and here’s a pic of me in the tail cone, hope it’s good cause I haven’t looked at it yet. The other is of two of my fellow coastie tweets!

Today I had my first experience in a hh-65 with the rotor blades turning! Roomy and I got to be “dead weight” for some run ups today. This was the first time I have been in this Helio while it was running, helmet and everything. I believe we even lifted 2inches from the ground. I didn’t even notice until we sat her back down. I feel so productive at work, while they were doing the tests I was making my grocery list.

Anybody see the newest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie? It is out on DVD now, but I still haven’t seen it. I had no interest until recently. The movie is computer generated and in my opinion can’t possibly be as good as the first three were. Nothing beats the cartoon versions though. I used to watch them on saturday mornings, and played the old school Nintendo version. My friends and I (J may remember), would pick our favorite and whoop some imaginary bad guys. I am reminiscing because my roommate now thinks I am a Ninja Turtle. Not because of my super sneaky ninja skills, but rather because of the amount of pizza I eat! Cow-a-bung-a y’all!!!

Mom posted a great way to come up with your very own band name (on the Pond), in case you ever need one. Which I do, cause I play Guitar Hero all the time and you need a stellar name. My original one was Brody Boy, after our superstar rock dog. To acquire new guitars and songs I need to make more money on the game so I need to start a new band
Treaty of Commerce and Navigation shall be its name, If we had an album it would be called “to excel if possible.” and this would be the cover

thanks mom, sooooo cool!
