Meal Planning

I am not be the most organized person on the planet. I am more of a organized clutter type of person, if you will haha. I have my mess but I know exactly where everything is :) 95% of the time I a 100% right :)
Okay back on track, Meal Planning! So at some point this weekend, either Friday but probably Saturday I am going grocery shopping. I need to remember to eat before I got because I usually end up buying crap I don't need. I also need to have an organized list of exactly what I need. In turn this means I need to figure out exactly what I'm making for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the week. Today or tomorrow I'm going to buy me a crock pot. I want a pulled pork sandwich so I guess I will just have to make my own.... if I can find a recipe for it that is. This is where all of you wonderful blog readers come into play :) I need some new dinner ideas. Since I've been working a bunch I don't have time to sit on Pinterest for hours and find delicious meal. Please and thank you in advance!

Naps

Pretty sure taking a nap at 7pm probably wasn't the best idea I've had but it was lazy Sunday! Any way I'm awake and feeling like my head is inside a giant glass bowl, I feel like poop.

So like I had mentioned before our table is done!!! Want to see pictures?!?!


Compromise :) I got my table and Rene got his poker table, along with his black and grey that he likes so much :)  Now getting it delivered is a whole other story. They only deliver during the week and Rene and I both work during the week. Not to mention one of us has to escort/"sponsor" the delivery guys onto base. But hopefully we can get it here some time this week before I got to work... finger crossed.

Random Pamela thoughts:
  1. I'm pretty sure when I go back to the states I'm going to chop my hair. I forgot what a hassle it was to deal with long hair! Not to mention the amount of shampoo I use! Plus I keep choking myself out in my sleep with my hair it's getting a bit ridiculous.
  2. I was trying to remember what sheets I had on my bed at my parent's house because I want to buy a new bedding set. Any way I found some that I liked but I'm not sure what Rene will say to green sheets lol. Poor guy didn't get a say in the plates I wanted lol and those bad boys are REALLY green. I may need to converse with him before hand...then again he is a guy and he may just say I don't care. I'm sure as long as it doesn't look like a unicorn took a shit in our room he will be happy. :) 
  3. Found a job posting for substitute teachers here on base, well actually it's for a few bases... it's a bit strange the amount, or lack, of school required to be a substitute teacher. Granted I do remember my substitute teachers, not very impressive.
  4. I really hope I'm not getting an ear infection! I haven't had one since I was little and if I do remember correctly they were not fun at all!

Pictures!!!


I lied, I do have pictures!! 
The one below is of the mosque in Adana. I am sure I've posted pictures of the outside of this thing a few time but I'm not sure if I've posted one of it in the day time.. 
We have yet to go inside and look at it but I've heard it's beautiful!



Here are a few picture of "the alley" this is right as you walk out of the base gates.


Blue Angel bar is the bar Rene and I like to go. The people who work there are always nice to us and so is the owner. 

We get a bunch of these gecko guys around the house.


RAINBOW WIG!! My sister and brother in law got me an awesome pink wig for my birthday!
They also got me the awesome shirt I am wear a long with another shirt that looks like it but with owls on it :) 


Ahhh!!

I have legitimately been trying to write a new blog for over a week now. Every time I start I realize how lame it is and that a lot of the stuff I want to take about I can't post on a public blog. Then I just get to flippin tired to even want to continue. Not to mention I don't have any new pictures to post! Reading a blog with no pictures is boring... Sorry guys... maybe next time! So what I have been up to in the almost month that I haven't blogged.

Well if you hadn't heard I got a job. I am working at the youth center here on base. I was hired on at a flex position which basically means that I am not guaranteed any hours. Well this has turned into a full time job. Granted I'm not REALLY complaining now because it's money and gives me something to do, but I'm sure if my hours stay this way it is going to be tough going to school ( I'll talk about that next).  I (usually) work with kids from ages 9-17, gets a bit confusing because a lot of these kids think I'm one of the teens lol. I'm sure it will very flattering later on in life but right now it makes things a bit difficult for me. Just another obstacle I will need to over come. I did get to go camping a few weekends ago with a group from my work, that was interesting... lol. I think it's really funny that kids think they are so crafty and sneaky lol I don't remember being that obvious with things when I was a kid.. but then again I'm sure everyone as a kid thought that they got away with just about anything or did things that they thought adults didn't see..

Mom, Dad, I have to hand it to you. I have no idea how you guys did it. After spending 8 hours a day with kids and then coming home to make dinner and clean the house and fold laundry...ugh I envy you! You guys made it look like a walk in the park! I now know why you made US do the chores.. haha!!

School! I am registered at an online university, UMUC ( University Maryland University College) Yes that is the real name of the school lol. I start in may and I will let you guys know how it is. But for now YAY I'm enrolled!!! Lets cross our fingers I can get a scholarship so I don't have to take out loans to pay for school :)

So that is basically what's been going on on this side of the world... work work work work work! This job is very exhausting, my weekend seriously don't feel long enough.

OOH and we got a call the other day and our table/poker table is FINISHED! We are going to check it out tomorrow and if all is good we are going to setup at time to get it delivered :) I'll post pictures soon of our new table :) :)
