Of Postage and Pink Lemonade

So Ryan called yesterday which made my day. : ) Hopefully the lesser wait time between phone calls is a permanent change, though nothing is every permanent in the Marine Corps. Semper Gumby is the way of life. (Semper means always, and Gumby is just a personification of flexible. Always Flexible. It's a play on the Marine Corps motto Semper Fi, which means Always Faithful. Though we're that, too.) I've just kind of gotten used to it all. I'm actually going shopping for care package fillers this afternoon. Ryan said to send fewer packing peanuts and more goodies. Heh. So I'll see what I can do about that without breaking the bank considering I send a package every single week. I use flat rate boxes, but I still have to pay for all of the stuff I put into them.

As my late grandmother would say, I have had a hankering for pink lemonade for days now! I keep running out to the local gas station to pick up a couple bottles of Minute Maid when I make my daily trip to the post office to mail Ryan's letters. I'll have to see about buying some in bulk when I head out this afternoon. I also need to finish my group's web design project for class, but I've almost got that covered. We aren't meeting until Monday to put all of the final touches on - most of which I'll probably have already added - so I'm not stressing about it. I just have to make up some filler text to showcase the design so I'm being lazy about hunting down stuff to copy and paste to take up that space. I want it to have something to do with the content so that makes it take a little bit of work. Enough to make me keep putting it off. And then I have to get assignments done for my speech class that starts week after next because apparently we have a bunch of stuff due by the first day of class. Nice. Guess that's what I get for taking it online.

Dansko apparently has something to do with shoes?
