I guess it's true what they say here about it being Groundhog Day. I think it is a must to watch that movie at least once during this deployment. LOL Who ever would have thought it would be Friday again so fast??? The funny thing is you can measure it by what food is going to be served at the dining hall that day. Tonight will be Mongolian BBQ night, easily the best dinner night of the week here. It feels like the last one was just yesterday. :) Of course, I am looking forward to it!
I received my first package in the mail today... it's so exciting! Anne Marie put so much thought into it, too! I couldn't have asked for anything better! She knows me so very well! :) I got some of my absolutely favorite cookies in the world (now you're all going to laugh at this... but don't knock it till ya try it.)... Keebler Iced Animal cookies! They are the best! I also got raspberry newtons, gummy worms/bears, a cute halloween pez dispenser, some halloween Reese's PB cups, a new book to read, some healthy apple chips, and some cinnamon life nutri-grain bars. I think I made out pretty ok! Don't forget the sweet card enclosed with it... and the movie "Death at a Funeral"!!! Getting mail is a great feeling when you're so far away from home. :) :) :)
Work today is again flying by at such a quickening pace... faster each day it seems. I'm at the point now where I have a performance report I have coming due, and I feel like I'm running out of time to write it. Where do the days go here? It only takes me about 20 minutes to type a blog... so I'm not spending the time here. LOL Seriously, though, it really is like time is evaporating right before my very eyes.
Tomorrow is going to be my first 2/3 day off... I'm so looking forward to actually enjoying only working 4 hours in the morning and then leaving. I've already made plans to walk to the other side of the base and do a little shopping after work and lunch. Hopefully the weather cooperates, and it stays semi-cool. :P By semi-cool I am talking a high of like 93-95. Hey... when you've been living in 110 degrees for awhile temperatures in the 90s are quite comfy! I also think tomorrow will be the perfect day to actually get a few pictures of myself and of the general area around where I reside here (called a pod). I shouild be able to have some posted by the end of the day tomorrow... so keep an eye out! My blog is moving up in the world. haha
In 15 minutes my 4 hour shift begins, and then another workday will be completed here in the Iraqi sun and sand. It's been another good week... still no complaints and still going strong!
Peace, Love, and Poker
