So...

DH and I were talking and we decided I'm going to be staying here while he deploys. Yah! More time stuck on the island. LOL. At least we will have Target. And we will move out of this house the end of March. I know my Mom will visit at least two times and DH said he will pay for my sister to come visit. She's all for a free ticket to come back to Hawaii. Last time she was here I didn't get to take her everywhere I wanted to, so this would be a chance to.

Speaking of my sister, her boyfriend is on R&R. They went down to his home state and while at dinner tonight he proposed. Awwwww. She said it's going to be a long engagement. I told her she can't get married until I am back on the mainland because I want to be there.

Hello Kitty disappointment...

The mac store and Macy's put out the collection early. Originally I wanted three lipsticks, two lipglasses, a blush, and two nailpolishes. After viewing everything I only ended up with one lipstick and one lipglass. LOL. Everything else was either too dark, bright, or similar to something I already had at home. I'm glad I actually went in store to view everything instead of just buying online. I'm still waiting on the kouture dazzleglasses, but they are scheduled to come out in March. 

In other news, I had someone blocking 1/4 of my driveway this morning. WTH? I wouldn't do that to anyone. I hate living on this street. We like to call it the *insert street name here* parking lot. I called the cops on them and they have a nice surprise of a ticket on their car. Normally I don't care, but since some of these people parking along here are so ignorant I get even. I only call when you are blocking my driveway or blocking my garbage can from being picked up. If they are going to park near my garbage at least move it so the garbage man can get it. Here's an example:

Yes, I take pictures. LOL. I mean, c'mon, how rude is that? The garbage man is NOT going to get out of the truck to get that. Many times I would go out to bring in the garbage can and this is what I see.

Our landlord sent us a letter asking if we are going to sign another lease. She said they will be gone most of March and April and wanted to know ASAP-our lease ends on April 1st. If they keep it the price it's currently at, sure we will sign a six month lease-since DH is leaving. The ladies daughter said she wanted to raise it $50 but she needed to see what her mom says first. When we signed the lease last year her Mom said she was thinking of raising it $100. This house is not worth that much. They also must not have received the memo that BAH went down. If they keep it the same we will stay, if they raise it $100 we are leaving. There are nicer houses with YARDS in Ewa Beach that would be cheaper than this dump. DH said he wouldn't mind moving down there since he will start working on Schofield soon. He's already used to driving in traffic from Fort Shafter to Waipahu, so the traffic from Schofield to Ewa Beach would be about the same.

Ohh, it's thundering outside. I miss real storms.

So DH will be deploying in September. For the past month it was for sure, then it wasn't, then it was, then it wasn't-sure makes your head spin. It drove me crazy not knowing what was going on. We decided that I will fly back to live near family. After much debating we decided that I will also go ahead and purchase a home. I'm biting my fingernails about this. I always envisioned it as both of us doing this together, but because of the circumstances and DH wanting to get in on it with the way the market is now, I will be doing it alone. I'm excited but also very nervous. After being in Hawaii, I'm soooo set on having a huge yard. I miss having a big yard, let alone a yard period. Our yard for the past year has been a slab of cement on the side of our house. 

We will be flying my sister back to HI the last week I'm here. It's a free trip for her- I just want some help with the kids at the airport. Ugh, not looking forward to that flight. I'm already trying to come up with ideas on how to keep them occupied on the plane. I might just get a red eye so that they will sleep (I hope-lol).

My Mom let me know that they are coming to visit us in April. My Mom was last here in September and my Dad in October of 2007.  I'm so excited! DH is taking leave for the two weeks they are here. We will all definately be doing all the tourist stuff since our HI days are counting down.

I can't wait for next week. MAC Cosmetics comes out with their Hello Kitty collection. Normally I don't go to crazy for a new collection but I think it's my love for makeup and the Japanese in me that is making me crazy. LOL. I already warned DH about it. I think his wallet and my Macy's card are cringing. The kiddos and I will be at the mall right when they open.  I hope the MAC store has the couture collection. I really, really want one of the Hello Kitty dazzleglosses (in the second picture). I love the compact too but $90 is way too expensive. I'm also going to grab some things for my sister to save for her birthday.

DH owes me anyway for the late night run for medicine that I had to do with the kids. That was fun, not. Besides, he's going to the ProBowl, so I should get to do something fun too. Shopping works, LOL.
