[QUOTE]Hi all. I'm drinking something that turned out way crappier than I was hoping and watching Family Guy. Also trying to think back to the last time I thought Family Guy was funny.

I also used to love Family Guy in college, and I just don't anymore. I think this means I'm old.

My Grandma and I went out for brunch today after church. It was all I have eaten today except some fruit. It was really nice to do that, it has been so long.

opalsky007 · May 2011

I think it means it's not funny anymore, Meg. American Dad: still hilarious.

Love Family Guy... I've given up finding something to watch and threw in a DVD of The Office.

Chinese sounds amazing. I've been so great at the gym and wasting it by being so bad with my nutrition. I have finally logged onto livestrong.com and started food-logging. blah. I know it'll put me in check. I love sugar too much />_<

I'm 22, so I'm a LOT younger than the wives in the squadron, which means I get left out a lot. Oh well... At least that means I don't have to deal with wife drama like so many do.

Can I AW for a sec? My photog just sent me a sneak peek from my B-pics and I cannot wait to see the rest!

Ciaram22 · May 2011

I really need to start cooking more because I hardly ever do. Most of our dinners come out of the microwave or are delivered.

ggirl2001 · May 2011

First-Yeah. I'm 27, FI is 25, his friends range from 21-25, however only one is in a relatonship, with a girl thats older and I have yet to meet her. I don't want to get involved in too much drama, especially since they are deployed. Hell, I'm not even married yet and I'm hearing rumors. It sucks. Nothing against the ages either, but I want some people who are a variety of ages and such, but I can't seem to find anyone over 21. I am hoping that through work I will, and other situations. I mean, I know I will, it just takes time. I guess I just need to go out to random places more.

ggirl2001 · May 2011

Jill-awesome. I haven't seen anything from mine yet. I hate waiting!

I seem to be waiting for a lot of things lately: to go home, shower, see my niece, FI to come home, wedding. Its one big waiting game for me.

Meg1036 · May 2011

Jill - you look so devious in that pic! I love it!

Opal - I like your explanation better than mine.

Beachy730 · May 2011

GGirl, my advice is to not really think about age. My best friend here just turned 22, and I'm 27. But she is very mature for her age, and way more mature than some of the older wives I've met, including a 39 y/o and a 41 y/o. And our H's have a lot in common too, which has been good for the few times we've hung out. Rank wise her H was a little nervous at first to meet my H because he is a few ranks lower (naturally, since he's only been in a couple years compared to H being in 9), but they are completely different departments, and my H isn't like that at all. Basically, you never know who you'll get along with.

WildRumpus · May 2011

GG, how much longer until he comes home?

cengle · May 2011

That's an awesome picture, Jill!

My ILs were here this weekend, so I haven't cooked since Thursday. We made them an awesome dinner (and I made cake balls for the firs time--success!), but they took us out to dinner Friday and Saturday, so we had leftovers tonight. And we didn't grocery shop any this weekend, so we don't have much for this week. Whoops.

Beachy730 · May 2011

Hot pic Jill!

firsttimersluck · May 2011

ggirl- I understand that. yeah I already have one "enemy" in the squadron. (long, DUMB story) My fi is 28 so even though I'm young, I'm used to being around people older... I don't do well with people my own age with the exception of two girlfriends.

They changed the "wives" club to the "spouses" club so that they don't exclude the girlfriends and fiance's; but many still make it very clear that I'm not part of the inner circle yet since we're not married yet. All I have to say is if it really comes down to who does and doesn't have the ID card, I have had one since I was 13 (the age that they start to issue them to dependants) so the women can suck it.

opalsky007 · May 2011

Rawr, Jill. Sassy. I like it.

ggirl2001 · May 2011

Beachy-yeah I know that, like I said, one of my best friends is 22 as well. But, I have also seen the facebook pages of some of these girls, and some you can tell are just drama, which is what I want to avoid, and others aren't. I just have to hang out to get a feel for them.

Bay-not too much longer. I can't wait. I have a lot happening between now in the wedding so I have a lot to look forward to, and wait for

Meg1036 · May 2011

Ggirl - hang in there. I am really impressed with how well you deal with having FI away (that goes for you other military SOs, too.) FI and I have been long distance for several years, but um, he's in Chicago and really safe, and I'm still whiny about not seeing him enough. So kudos.

WildRumpus · May 2011

Thanks ladies

Beachy730 · May 2011

Oh yeah, each wife is definitely different. The 39 y/o I mentioned is so dramatic and annoying, I want to scream. And of course there are wives like Katelyn too. Luckily though at the FRG meetings you don't usually see that type because they don't care. At least in my experience. Are there any meetings coming up you can go to?

firsttimersluck · May 2011

Meg- We all have our whiny moments.

Between the two of us right now, the FI is the whiny one, and he's only gone for two weeks- to Japan. What a dork. :P

WildRumpus · May 2011

I've been guilted into watching a movie with FI. Goodnight all!

I've been checking the website and I don't see anything. However, one of the girls I talked to who lives on base was planning to bring me on base to meet some people. She's younger (19 or something) but seems sweet. I know FI will be home soon and it will be good. Not that I still shouldn't have my own friends, because obviously I will, but I will feel more comfortable going out and doing more things, and I can meet people that way too. I'm sociable in that aspect.

Meg1036 · May 2011

Thanks, firsttimer. I've been really whiny lately. I think its because I'm really excited abou the wedding (still almost 3 months away), and it makes me want to spend a lot of time with him. But he's busy with work, I'm busy with my thesis, and its just not working out that way. At this point, I'm really glad we're having a couples' shower, because that's a weekend we definitely get to see each other.

Beachy730 · May 2011

That's nice of her. Even if you don't end up having much in common with her, there's a good chance she could introduce you to someone you have a lot in common with. I did a ton with my friend while our H's were gone, and most nights it was just her and her puppy coming over at night for doggy playdates and watching TV. We haven't done too much since they came home since it's hard to coordinate 4 schedules, but it's just nice having other people here.

Ciaram22 · May 2011

Goodnight jill!

My jaw now hurts. Edmund decided it would be fun to head butt the side of my jaw so now it's throbbing.

ggirl2001 · May 2011

Yeah, it's only the weekends I feel it. During the week, I'm busy with work and things like that, but weekends I'm used to having things to do, whether its dinner with friends or going out for drinks. Granted, right now I have no money so I guess I should stay in haha.

firsttimersluck · May 2011

Meg- Thesis forrrr.. Master's? What are you getting it in?
Yeah, I definitely understand. While the FI was deployed last year we used to put skype on and do our own thing. It was just nice to be able to look up and see him, even if we weren't conversing.

I feel like it would be more agonizing to have the SO near, but not near enough. When the FI is deployed, there is nothing I can do about it so I just have to suck it up and accept it. I commend you on the long-distance relationship for that reason. You both have to accept that there is distance and work around it, while forcing yourselves to put work/school as priority even though you really want to be together. I'm pretty sure I would be the most annoying, whiny person on the planet if that's how it was for us haha!

ggirl2001 · May 2011

FI and I were long distance for almost 2 years by the time he got deployed. He joined in February of 2009 and has been to boot camp, then Pensacola, then Lemoore, for schooling. Then he got stationed in Beaufort in March of last year which is when we got engaged.

Meg1036 · May 2011

PhD thesis in Industrial Engineering. My defense is July 18, so things are getting close!

And the skype thing - I totally get what you mean. I think the thing I miss most is doing *nothing* together. Its not about big events, but small moments.

And I still think you have it worse! But in general, long distance is no fun.

firsttimersluck · May 2011

ggirl- nuts. I mean.. don't get me wrong. I would absolutely do long-distance in a heartbeat for my FI because he is worth every moment we are apart... but man.. that sucks..
On average he is gone about a week a month from random flights here and there, but because it's not permanent and we're very aware of that, it's easy to count down a few days every month. I don't sleep well without him, though so something like what Meg has to do right now would be brutal. I'm glad you finally get to settle in a place with him.
