I'm back!!!!

Did you miss me??? haha  Seriously... this has been a really busy week for me.  I haven't had much blogging time on my hands this week, but I'm off for the day now, so I decided to write a bit. :)

I'm excited... next week we actually get a DAY OFF!!!!  YESSSSSS!!!!  It's been so long overdue!  I'm looking forward to it, and that means I will definitely be playing poker Friday night next week!  :)  It will make for a couple long days in order to make it work in the interim, but I'm all for it!  I'm so tired... even though I got to sleep in this morning.  Don't get me wrong... it felt awesome to sleep for 9 hours last night, but a day off is going to be soooooo much better even! :)

As my time in Iraq continues to fly by I have to think I'll be home in no time at all!  Once we get to the next location I am keeping my same roommate plus one more.  I think we will all get along just fine, too.  I have no worries about plusing up to 3 even though it sounds cramped.  I'm hoping we get to continue with days off over there, too, now that the precedent has been set. 

The weather lately has been FANTASTIC!  It's been in the mid 80s during the day and high 50s to near 60 at night.  It might have taken until the end of October, but it's sure worth the wait.  I love it!  I've been walking everywhere instead of riding lately, too.  I figure I might as well enjoy the weather and get more exercise at the same time.  On average, I'm walking over an hour every day when it's all said and done.  It's pretty much 10 minutes to everywhere... work... food... gym... etc.  Those 10 minute walks add up when you have 7 or 8 of them in a day. :)  My belly is starting to reap the benefits of it, too!  Not to mention I run/walk on the treadmill 5 days a week, too!  I love my workouts!  They help keep me sane. 

It's been a pretty tired week... but nonetheless it's now 8 weeks down... yeppers... just shy of 2 months... 1/3 of the way done already!  Woohoo!!!!  I'm still enjoying it for the most part, too, so that's good.  I'm hoping to get back into my daily blogging ways now... after all... I wouldn't want you all to miss me too much! :P  See you soon....

Peace, Love, and Poker
