Crap. The fire is mostly north and east. Sadly that is some affluent neighborhoods and towards the Academy. Also the Southern boundary has expanded toward Hwy 24.

I hope with all my heart that my in law's house doesn't burn down! They evacuated this morning. The homes across their street are burning. My 11 year old niece is losing it:-( I have to work, I'm in another state, my back tweaked last Friday. Feel helpless, trying to keep back tears and stay focused.

Psh...girl...whatever! You probably have 5-6 guys humping your leg as you speak! Not to mention the line of ladies waiting outside your door (they're too polite to hump without asking first).

I went to Costco and picked up a few items. Checking out ahead of me was a guy buying socks for firefighters. There had to be atleast 200 pairs of the really nice padded hiking socks.

Red is the Waldo Canyon Fire, Blue is an area that has been under a mandatory evacuation, Yellow is a pre-evacuation notice.

Waiting for tonights flight that maps the area using Infrared technology. Then the map will be updated showing the newest fire boundaries.
I have been watching all day. A cold front moved in which will keep up strong winds all night and include dry lightning. That leaves potential for erratic and changing conditions plus new fires in other locations.
Fun, fun, fun.

So worried for my sister and friends and MY HOUSE because of this fire. Last I saw, the evacuation boundaries are not far from my house. It crosses I-25, and my house is GONE. :(
Is it as bad as KOAA online makes it, Army? My sister says it's really bad, but on my FB the girls I work with are saying it's not quite so bad.

Last I checked they hardly had any containment on it and were expecting the same poor, fire-spreading weather conditions as last night... But everyone I've spoken to, including my firefighter relative says it's not as bad as the news makes it seem.

I think I need to get my stuff together in case I have to evacuate. I live in town but, on the west side. Currently the fires are going north of me. If the fires turn around and eat Manitou Springs I am next.
I hope you don't have to evac.
Stay safe, Sarge.

Appears the fire did not expand on the Colorado Springs side. No additional houses were lost, but more than 300 burned on tuesday. The smoke was pretty bad with ash (not hot embers) falling in the Costco parking lot as I went shopping on yesterday.
The fire destroyed houses on the slopes on the west side, and the Flying W Ranch if you have ever been there is gone. So far the fire has not crossed Centennial.
If you have Google Earth installed on your PC, go to this site . From the to select "View Perimeters" and select "Active KML" . The information is sorted by State, Fire Name, and Date. Double click the Waldo Canyon fire with the most recent date, this will prompt you to down load a file, open this, and Google Earth will open to display the file. This is a map of the fire as mapped by Infrared (heat).

I am doing the same thing right now! Cramming PLUS writing a paper. I have another 7 hours before the test...
I crammed for a final a few weeks ago and I was starting to feel mentally exhausted about 5 hours before the final, so I let myself take a 40 minute nap. You probably know about this more than I do, but taking a nap between 20-50ish minutes lets your body refresh itself without putting itself into the deeper sleep that makes it feel tired when you wake up. Something along the lines of that...Anyway, when I get a few but under 9 hours of sleep I always feel so exhausted when I wake up and I usually press snooze a billion times and keep on sleeping. But that 40 minute nap cured me! When my alarm went off I was totally reenergized and got to work almost immediately.
Anyway, good luck on your test!
Eeeeek! Hope you went ok. Mine was not so bad. Luckily I actually remembered stuff I crammed yesterday. I find it really hard to be motivated unless I have a really heavy work load and I only had one class so motivation was at all time low. Totally know what you mean about napping. I seriously must have frequent naps while studying. Unless my brain shuts off completely its like I can't continue on. TV or even SW doesnt feel like a proper break. Need sleep! Sleep is really important too because memory is only consolidated properly after you have slept. :) Thats why studying right before you go in rarely has a result. I still do it though...

Good News! With the todays cooler weather and cloud cover significant gains were made on the Waldo Canyon Fire. Containment was upped to 10% and while there is hot spots in the neighborhoods lots the large fires have remained on the upper slopes away from homes.
Some of the mandatory evacuation area inside Colorado Springs has been downgraded to Pre-evac. This is areas east of 30th and south of Rockrimmon.

I have been spending so much time with my niece lately. I'm loving it! Every time she's come to pick me up/drop me off at my boyfriend's house, she's bugged us about playing on their playground. Finally, last time, I said "We'll go play on it later, when y'all drop me off, okay?" She said okay, but she's a smart little bugger who will agree to bargains and hold you to 'em! When my boyfriend came to pick me up, instead of family dropping me off, I went to say bye and she asks "You going home?" "Yeah, Z is taking me home, baby." "I can go home with you?" So, of course, we got permission and she came home with me to play with his cousins and stay the night. Since then, she'll randomly wake up or get bored at home and tell her guardian, "I wanna go to S's house!" Apparently, she's getting used to my style of caregiving, because I've been told that she's behaving better at home now too.
Unfortunately, having her around doesn't help my situation with folks thinking I'm pregnant. Z's mom bugged him a few weeks ago, while I was still living out of town, about "why don't I have any grandbabies yet?" and going to have fertility testing done (woman read my mind, because I've been nagging him to). This weight I've put on has finally settled (huge sign I need to be more stringent about exercise) the way that it does on my belly, and EVERYONE has been asking if I'm pregnant. Especially when I'm out shopping with my niece, people will assume that she's mine and Z's child and ask me when the next one is due or if I know the gender yet. I don't know why it doesn't upset me more (it really doesn't bother me at all, I just laugh and say I've eaten too many donuts lately or some other lame excuse, while making a mental note not to wear that top/dress again until I lose weight) because it sends Z into an absolute panic attack. He thinks his mother and I are conspiring in secret, though we can't stand each other, for him to get me pregnant.
The only thing that bugs me when my niece is around- she some times slips and calls me momma. On the one hand, it's a cute mistake that toddlers are prone to making from time to time, and I always correct her by referring to myself by my own name while repeating what she wants. On the other hand, she does it so often that it upsets me because I know I'm acting more like a mother to her right now than her mother is. Just re-affirms how much I want to get custody.

I decided to try a new club out tonight (confession: I haven't gotten my ass into a club since December). Last time I danced, I made over a grand. The amount of money I made intimidated me into going to a different club instead of going back to the same one (insane, right?). Anyway, after waking up at 5:30 this morning, working a full day at my job, and then driving all the way out here...this club was dead at 9:30. I left after making three dollars.
Then I went to get something to eat, and some douchebag wouldn't leave me alone. Cuz of course, the only reason women ever eat alone is because they're trying to get picked up.
Today was great.

^ It happens. One of the things I love about dabbling in stripping is it really does make me feel more thankful for what I have. There were girls at this club last night who were trying to leave right after getting there because they realized it was going to be another dead night with too many girls on shift. The guy was like "Well you can either pay your tipout and go, or go and pay your tipout next time." She didn't have the money to leave, so she stayed.

I think I'm going to make a little sign and start charging to do girls hair and makeup.
Since I do it for free and constantly get asked anyway...start charging $10.
Wanna borrow an outfit? Cool, another $5.
I don't mind loaning stuff out to friends, or helping friends with their hair and makeup, but when it comes an every day thing..OMFG!
Especially when a lot of these girls make enough money to go buy a $10 eyeshadow palette or $3 coverup.
Come on now!!!
I hate being so fucking nice...seriously, I wish I could just be a giant fucking bitch and be like, "no you ho bag, you're not borrowing my dress, my concealer, my eyeshadow, garter, shoes...etc, etc"
I mean, the other night, at the end of the night 3 different girls came up to me returning my shit!!
Thank goodness, FOR ONCE, my shit got returned, but..omfg!!!!
I don't mind certain people, but when it's girls I don't really talk to and suddenly think we're BFF's because I was nice to her one night and now just takes advantage of my generousity.
I'm just tired of being walked all over...and I allow to happen, and just sit here and bitch about it.
Well..not anymore..no more Miss Nice Girl!!! >:(
