I'm going to add to this blog all deployment long. This is going to be based on my own personal life experiences (the good, the bad, the funny, and definitely the ugly). I hope this blog turns out as entertaining as I dream it to be lol. This won't be complete until the end of the deployment and I will keep it as updated as I can but here is a start ;)
1. Good friends will meet you at the playground with junk food and wine on deployment day.
2. The best kind of friend to have is the kind that laughs at you when you are crying because Domino's brought you too much cheesy bread and you have no husband to send it to work with.
3. The week revolves around Wonton Wednesday, even when you're on a diet.
4. You feel the little green jealousy jerk when you read about phone calls and emails your friends have received and feel bad when you're excited about your call and email when they aren't as lucky.
5. You will wake up at least twice a week with your phone stuck to your face JUST to be sure you don't miss a call.
6. You find yourself angry when people ask random stupid questions like "Is he going to kill anyone" Ummmm no Captain Obvious, he's in Afghanistan to play jump rope, sniper school was for shits and giggles.
7. There is no disappointment like waking up from a dream and realizing it was just that- A dream.
8. Anyone who rings your doorbell unannounced should be immediately shot. I'm not even kidding, can you say heart attack?!
9. A watched phone never rings.
10. Your life lights up for 30 minutes when you hear their voice and then dims again when you hear the phone click. Praying that you'll hear their voice again is an understatement.
11. Skype=Amazing!
12. There's no conversation that a "let's blow up the house" comment can't bring to a awkward halt.
13. When your husband is gone it's a good idea to borrow your friend's husband for random labor (keep it G rated ladies, this is important. X rated borrowing of husbands is never a good idea, just say no.) like starting lawn mowers, grilling, and beach cruiser customizing.
14. Watching shady neighbors while making smores is better than reality TV.
15. Sometimes you just need to let loose and drink wayyyy too much Jameson Whiskey to remind yourself that life could always be worse.
16. Las Vegas Baby. "I got shoes, I got booze, but I ain't got no tattoos!" "Well then you're just shit out of luck then aren't you?". "Purple thong!!" "OMG, can you see my ass? Yes, but it doesn't look bad" "Okay good.".
17. Daddy Doll Daniel has more fun than the real Daniel.
18. You can never imagine how much you miss the smallest things. I would give almost anything to close my eyes and open them and it be Saturday morning in the Ramos house, with Daniel downstairs making breakfast and my coffee with the girls helping.
19. Time flies when you're having fun :)
20. Calm down.
"If I hold back, I'm no good. I'm no good. I'd rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time. "-Janis Joplin

Day 6
Day 06 – A song that reminds you of somewhere
This just popped in my head when I read the title for day 6 and i'm not really sure why but..... I chose this song because every time I hear it I think back to a Marine Corps "Mandatory Family Fun Day" (Yes that's what they really call it lol) at the beach on Camp Lejeune, the day was SO pretty and perfect. This song came on and all the guys started singing and cheering, I will never forget it :)
Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one
You thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places

Day 5
A song that reminds you of someone
Beyonce-Irreplaceable
OHHH Gosh haha this song reminds me of a crazy day that ended with me, my sister, Raycine and her sister driving down the road blaring this song and screaming it at the top of our lungs lol. Good times ;)
To the left, to the left
To the left, to the left
To the left, to the left
Everything you own in the box to the left
In the closet that's my stuff, yes
If I bought it please don't touch
And keep talking that mess, that's fine
But could you walk and talk at the same time?
And it's my mine name that is on that tag
So remove your bags let me call you a cab
Standing in the front yard telling me
How I'm such a fool, talking about
How I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I could have another you in a minute
Matter fact he'll be here in a minute, baby
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable
So go ahead and get gone
And call up that chick and see if she's home
Oops, I bet ya thought that I didn't know
What did you think I was putting you out for?
Because you was untrue
Rolling her around in the car that I bought you
Baby you dropped them keys
Hurry up before your taxi leaves
Standing in the front yard telling me
How I am such a fool, talking about
How I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you in a minute
Matter fact he'll be here in a minute, baby
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I'll have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable
So since I?m not your everything
How about I'll be nothing, nothing at all to you
Baby I won't shed a tear for you, I won't lose a wink of sleep
'Cause the truth of the matter is replacing you is so easy
To the left, to the left
To the left, to the left
To the left, to the left
Everything you own in the box to the left
To the left, to the left
Don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you in a minute
Matter fact he'll be here in a minute, baby
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking, baby
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you in a minute
Matter fact he'll be here in a minute
You could pack all your things, we're finished
(You must not know 'bout me)
'Cause you made your bed, now lay in it
(You must not know 'bout me)
I can have another you by tomorrow
Don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable

Day 4
Day 04 – A song that makes you sad
Brian McKnight Ft. Rascal Flats-Red, White, and Blue.
It never fails, I cry through this entire song. It hits home for me especially the part about the baby girl :*) BUT it's such a good song, I'm a glutton for punishment I suppose.
Baby
Tomorrow I'ma hafta fight
Leaving at first light
And all I can think of is you
Baby
I can hear you tryin not to cry
I'm afraid and I ain't gonna lie
I gotta do what I've been trained to do
I'm a little tired, but I'm doin fine
I got my brothers back and he's watching mine
Just keep praying that we'll all make it through
I fight for what's right
And I fight for what is true
Mostly I'm fighting to get back to you
We don't see black
We don't see white
We just see what we hafta do
All we see is red, white, and blue
Fighting for our red, white, and blue
Baby
How's our little baby girl?
Does she know her daddy's half way round the world?
Tell her she is my heart
Well...
I've only seen her in a photograph
Don't know whether to cry or laugh
While I'm out here in the dark
I get so damn tired but I'm doin fine
Got my brothers back and he's watchin mine
Just keep prayin that we'll all make it through
I fight for what's right
And I fight for what is true
Mostly I'm fighting to get back to you
We don't see black
We don't see white
We don't see what we hafta do
All we see is red, white, and blue
Fighting for our red, white, and blue
I don't know the reasons why
Sometimes at night I sit and cry
It's hard to tell you what I'm goin through
What I'm goin through...
When all we have is this telephone
On this telephone...
Don't know when I'll be comin home
I just need you to keep praying that I do
I fight for what's right
And I fight for what is true
Mostly I'm fighting to get back to you
We don't see black
We don't see white
We don't see what we hafta do
All we see is red, white, and blue
All we see is red, white, and blue
Fighting for our red, white, and blue

Day 3
Day 03 – A song that makes you happy
Easy, Jack Johnson-Better Together
It reminds me of a lot of great memories with Daniel :) I always smile and blast this song when it comes on my iPod, it takes me back to a Valentine's day of 2006 <33
There’s no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart and our dreams
And they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia-tone lovin’
Love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? and where do we go? and how come it's so hard?
It’s not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving
I’ll tell you one thing
It’s always better when we're together
Mmmm it’s always better when we’re together
Yeah, we’ll look at them stars and we’re together
Well, it’s always better when we’re together
Yeah, it’s always better when we’re together
And all of these moments just might find
Their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they’ll be gone when the morning light sings
Or brings new things
For tomorrow night you see that they’ll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Into my day to day scene
I’d be under the impression I was somewhere in between
With only two, just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We’ll sit beneath the mango tree now
Yeah, it’s always better when we’re together
Mmmm we’re somewhere in between together
Well, it’s always better when we’re together
Yeah, it’s always better when we’re together
Mmmm mmmm mmmmmmmmm
I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now and, and when I wake up
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We’re Better together
Easy, Jack Johnson-Better Together

Day 2
Day 02 – Your least favorite song
Tonight-Enrique Iglesias
SOOOO Easy! I freaking HATE this song!! I typically don't like songs with a bunch of filth or cursing, I just think it's inappropriate.. I know I know..
I know there's another version that says "loving" instead of the F word but still the concept of the song just grosses me out and I would punch somebody in the face if they walked up to me in a club and said "Tonight i'm f*cking you!".. Note that boys.
I know you want me
I made it obvious that I want you too
So put it on me
Let's remove the space between me and you
Now rock your body
Damn I like the way that you move
So give it to me
'Cause I already know
What you wanna do
And here's the situation
Been to every nation
Nobody's ever made me feel the way that you do
You know my motivation
Given my reputation
Please excuse me I don't mean to be rude
But tonight I'm loving you
Ohh you know
That tonight I'm loving you
Ohh you know
That tonight I'm loving you
Ohh you know
That tonight I'm loving you
Ohh you know
That tonight I'm loving you
You're so damn pretty
If I had a type then baby it would be you
I know you're ready
If I never lied then baby
You'd be the truth
And here's the situation
Been to every nation
Nobody's ever made me feel the way that you do
You know my motivation
Given my reputation
Please excuse me I don't mean to be rude
But tonight I'm loving you
Ohh you know
That tonight I'm loving you
Ohh you know
That tonight I'm loving you
Ohh you know
That tonight I'm loving you

30 Songs in 30 Days-Day 1!
Thanks to my wonderful friend Christina who sent me the information for this new 30 day project, i'm looking forward to passing another 30 days doing this!!
Day 1- Your favorite song
This was hard, I don't really have a "favorite" song, I just kind of love a song but many songs at once if that even makes sense lol. One of my favorite songs right now is Katy Perry- E.T I LOVE the beat and I love Katy Perry, too bad about Kanye being in there ;)
[Kanye West]
I got a dirty mind
I got filthy ways
I’m tryna Bath my Ape in your Milky Way
I’m a legend, I’m irreverent
I be reverand
I be so fa-a-ar up, we don’t give a f-f-f-f-ck
Welcome to the danger zone
Step into the fantasy
You are not invited to the otherside of sanity
They calling me an alien
A big headed astronaut
Maybe it’s because your boy Yeezy get ass a lot
[Katy Perry]
You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil
Could you be an angel
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I am floating
Leaves my body glowing
They say be afraid
You're not like the others
Futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you
Your from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light
[Chorus]
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien
Your touch are foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial
Your so supersonic
Wanna feel your powers
Stun me with your lasers
Your kiss is cosmic
Every move is magic
Your from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light
[Chorus]
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien
Your touch are foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial
There is this transcendental
On another level
Boy, you're my lucky star
I wanna walk on your wave length
And be there when you vibrate
For you I'll risk it all
All
[Kanye West]
I know a bar out in Mars
Where they driving spaceships instead of cars
Cop a Prada spacesuit about the stars
Getting stupid ass straight out the jar
Pockets on Shrek, Rockets on deck
Tell me what’s next, alien sex
I’ma disrobe you, than I’mma probe you
See I abducted you, so I tell ya what to do
I tell ya what to do, what to do, what to do
[Chorus]
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien
Your touch are foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial
Extraterrestrial
Extraterrestrial
Boy, you're an alien
Your touch are foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

For you I'll risk it all
All
[Kanye West]
I know a bar out in Mars
Where they driving spaceships instead of cars
Cop a Prada spacesuit about the stars
Getting stupid ass straight out the jar
Pockets on Shrek, Rockets on deck
Tell me what’s next, alien sex
I’ma disrobe you, than I’mma probe you
See I abducted you, so I tell ya what to do
I tell ya what to do, what to do, what to do
[Chorus]
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien
Your touch are foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial
Extraterrestrial
Extraterrestrial
Boy, you're an alien
Your touch are foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial
