Our two year anniversary and how I spent it

Early this morning, I was talking to Chris. I stayed on
till 1 this morning so he could celebrate in his time zone.
It was really neat. I mean, yeah, he's far away, but we
were able to celebrate together when the day first began.
But this time, we couldn't raid another fast food joint.
Last year, he asked me where I wanted to eat, I said
Wendy's. Yes, I chose Wendy's. First off, I am not a big
fan of restaraunts. Second, he had to work and Wendy's was
the closest place to Hungry Howies. So we ate there, kissed
each other and we departed. But don't get me wrong, we
celebrated later in the evening.

This year, no fast food. I couldn't even see him. It was
depressing, but hell, I have many more to celebrate alone.
I just didn't want to be down in the dumps because of it. I
was in high spirits because I was able to talk to him. At
least I went to bed happy.

I actually got to class early today, early enough to get
myself a cup of coffee. We finished the chapter on facials
and did a quick review. We may do one more, before we have
a another hour session for mainly a review. I'm trying to
just look at notes to get a general idea on what the terms
are. But once the hour was over, we were sent to our
stations. Our assignments for the day was another perm and
then do a long layer. Yeah, another perm. I will do one
every day for the 8 months I'm there and will graduate with
200 something perms and then however many customers I get.
Fuuun. I swear, they take forever to do. But though I was
really frustrated with the long layers, I swore I hated it,
once I got the hang of it, it wasn't that bad. I'm almost
tempted to find a random manniquin with long hair and do
another layer just for count and a signiture.

While in the middle of my perming process, this girl
Tiffany bolts into the room and grabs my barber's jacket.
She was making this comment on how yesterday I was wearing
baggy pants (which was actually two days ago, but it makes
no difference) and today I was wearing a skirt. Mind you,
it's our anniversary. Although he couldn't see me, I felt
like getting dressed up in a long red, plaidish skirt and a
V-neck black, tight, top. So Tiffancy was saying how sexy
I looked today and got the other two (Amanda and Cecelia)
to watch me turn. It was just funny to me. I mean, I felt
pretty. I wanted to today, even my instructor said
something. Then I was left alone to do my perm with the
other two girls. Rather amusing.

Tiffancy, apparently, lives down the road from me in a
separate apartment complex on College Blvd. Her last day is
tomorrow, she gets her license, and she wants to hang out
sometime. That girl seems pretty wild, but I like what I
saw. I should remember to give her my number (since she
asked) before we punch out tomorrow or else I won't see
her. I'm sure I could get it from Amanda, but eh.

While I was finishing this perm off, I was thinking about
stuff that Chris has said to me, because it really confused
me. Why was he talking about 60 days with me, asking me if
I thought about our honeymoon. Asking me if I had any idea
what type of wedding and honeymoon I wanted period. Then
telling me about the engagement ring he wants to give me.
Shouldn't all that be a surprise? It's good that we talk
about it, but it won't serve a purpose doing so now. But
yet, he talks about it like something is going to happen
soon. Makes me wonder, even Mom said it sounded like he was
tipping me off. Of course, IF he stays in the Academy, I
would have 3 1/2 more years till everything could happen.
If he leaves, well, it happens when it happens. But still,
it made me wonder. But, why tell me all that? If he is
tipping me off, wouldn't that ruin the element of surprise?
I mean, I already know he wants to marry me, but I know
more than I should know.

He probably shouldn't mention stuff like that with me, I
get too hopeful. When he mentioned that if he leaves that
he would be living with me, I got hopeful. I wanted him
home badly. But I know it won't happen. He tells me about
60 days, how we could do whatever we wanted on our
honeymoon, and I got hopeful. It seems as though it will be
forever till I can finally have what I want. I have him,
but we can't be together right now. Now he mentioned this
family heirloom engagement ring. I shouldn't know about
this. I know his mom won't let him have it any time soon,
but why mention it to me? That is what is confusing me. So
I thought of this while I did my manniquin.

The first half of the day went by quickly, but the last
half always seems to drag on and on. Eventually, however,
the day ended, but it was poring. Because we are on the
border to the base (Eglin AF), there was traffic. Not only
from the rain, but people were on their way home from work.
I still had yet to grab my work clothes and go to work.
What would have normally taken me half an hour to drive
there, took me an hour. But I called to let them know I'd
be late.

The day wasn't that bad, I explained how things were going
with Bill, Jackie and Inga and then just did my work. I
took half an hour to finish taking notes so I could have
soemthign to study, other than that book.

The night was pretty much uneventful, but I wouldn't have
enjoyed it if we were slammed suddenly. I would rather my
night to be calm, and that it was. It was a shame that I
spent my anniversary at school playing with dolls and then
working, but it was better than being alone.

Can't wait to go to Mom's, she taped the Micheal Jackson 2
hour interview tonight. Hehehe. I can watch that and try on
the clothes she bought me for this trip. Hehehe. Ok here
are my countdowns:
4 days till Nessa turns 20
4 days till I don't have to work...for 9 days. Hmm. A
vacation.
6 more days till I fly out and head towards Colorado
Springs
8 days till I can see Chris
12 days till I come back to work and school and that would
be the end of my vaction. It will definitely pass too fast.
