Day 322

February baby!!!! Woohoo!! LOOK at that donut of AWESOMENESS!!! I can officially say Joe will be home next month!!!

Happy New Year!!!!! (and donut of misery update)

Day 291

Wow. Just wow. Can you even believe it's January 1st? And 2011?? Whoa. So much has happened in the last year. And SO many good things wait for us in 2011.

2010 consisted of a new apartment, new friends, a very hard goodbye for a deployment, a wonderful vacation with our parents, our 3rd wedding anniversary, my 1st surgery, an amazing 2 week R&R that seemed to go by in only hours, and some holidays spent with new friends. It's all gone by in a whirl wind. But I am so glad I can finally say I will see Joe this year!

Oh, and the donut of misery is looking SOOOO good!! I don't hate it anymore. It's now a donut of awesomeness, as Joe put it. I remember looking at others' donuts at about the same point and being so insanely jealous. It seems like it took FOREVER for it to get to the halfway point. But the red just keeps disappearing now, quicker than I ever imagined.

Day 199!!
I officially dont hate the donut anymore. And October! I cant believe it's already October. It seemed so far away when we started this fun adventure in March.

6 MONTHS DOWN!!!!

Day 185The 17th of a month will NEVER be the same!!

Yep, halfway done, 6 months down. Can you believe it? It's kinda cool that Joe was here for the halfway mark.

My FRG is having a halfway party tonight, but of course I'm not going.

And as Joe reminded me last night, it's all downhill from here. :)

Donut of Misery Update

Woohoo!! Look at that!! Almost half way!! That brought a smile to my face!

I hope you all are as happy with your donut as I am!

Donut of Misery Update

It's that time again...
And the saying has changed too!

Donut of Misery Update

It's that time again folks. Check out the Donut of Misery. It's so much easier to look at now. It doesnt make me want to poke my eyes out any more. ;-)

Day 77

Yep, I remembered to look on the first of the month!!

And the snarky saying at the bottom? Oddly enough, Joe has already told me.

Can you even believe it's JUNE?!?!?! I know I never paid attention to the months passing before Joe left. It was just time passing. But now that I count the days, a month doesn't seem too long.

But its a thought that can backfire. I immediately think about his year of dwell time. If this year is passing by so fast, what happens when his dwell time flies by? I'm so unnerved about this stupid thought.

Donut of Misery Update

I totally forgot about my donut of misery. Probably a good thing. But look at it now!! Still kinda sad, but more green!! Yay for green!!

Donut of Misery?

How have I not heard of this before?? I was reading a friend's facebook page. She was joking about hating her Donut of Misery. And the comments under her status were hilarious. So I figured the Donut of Misery was a funny joke. Well I was wrong!! And yes, of course I set it up right away because I'm a bit of a masochist. Well, the donut hates me.

So what does it say at the bottom of the spread sheet?

Thank you Captain Obvious!!

I've decided that I'm only going to check it on the first of every month for a while.
