1. Drink
2. Sleep
3. Not shave
4. Not cut his hair
5. And drink
I plan on:
1. Sleeping
2. Getting mani/pedi/hair cut
3. Sleeping
4. Laughing with family and friends
5. not working
We have talked about budgeting for the trip, getting books on CD for the road trip, stopping at different land marks, laughing, and excited to be away from the plain dessert and go to grass and mountains!
Everyday I tell myself only so many more weekdays! Today it was "two more days this week + four days next week + and one full work week... unless Kyle gets lasik, one less day because I would take a day off to take him.
Mom, I can't wait to see you, lets go shop & get a mani/pedi! Dad... lets do lunch! Jayne... Drinks at the Stampede or something for your birthday! Margaret... I always love sitting on the porch. Scott... um... horseshoes???? Kim/Ty... lets go shooting!
Hope to see a lot of friendly faces.
Rachel... I wanna meet this POG (pronounced pouge) Bahahha.

cracking knuckles
Good day. Pretty good weekend. I got a tan/burn from sitting and soaking up the sun and playing with the puppy.
Things are good here. Weather is nice and hot :) I am getting excited to go home for leave. I miss my family. I hope June comes and stays for a long time and then it suddenly would be January. Then Kyle doesn't have to go anywhere. <3
So today after work I wanted to take Diesel somewhere he could run and play. The park was over crowded by people and baseball games so we parked and walked on base until we found a good size area with grass. Diesel rolled, ran and rolled again. He layed on his back and loved it! It was great to watch him be happy and play. It makes me more excited to go home. There is lots of grass for him to play on.
Anyways, he saw a jogger. Mind you the entire car ride this dog followed every person, car, animal, etc from the front seat to back seat as we passed them. This was cute too... but he saw a jogger and I had to stop him from running after the jogger, so I dive (diving into a pool, sliding into home kind of dive) for his leash. In the mean time, one arm must not have gotten the brain signal to go outward and I heard a crunch. A slight series of pops, if you will, (like knuckle cracking) happens immediately. I cringe and the jogger sees us.
Visualize a man minding his own business and looks over to see a chick and her dog on the grass. The dog looks happy and anxious and is slightly losing oxygen because his leash is pulled tight and the chick has a constipated/painful/sad/frustrated look on her face.
BAHAHAH.
We went straight home. I have been icing since and the knuckles are pretty bruised. I hope we aren't broken, here.
Like I told my mom... With my track record, I am due for an injury. God must be looking down and saying, "I forgot about you. You are due, madam, for an broken bone. Here are two... " haha. I pray not!
It is hard to say if they are broken. Here is why:
#1. haven't broken a bone in awhile, can't remember the pain
#2. the swelling is minimal
#3. i can sorta bend them but mobility decreases as time goes on
#4. i didn't cry
#5. it would be my luck that as health care is free, i wouldn't need to utilize it much.
#6. my senior year in high school, I broke the metacarpals in that hand to those exact fingers but this time it is phalanges injury.. not in the palm.
We will see.

It has been too long!
I am sorry I have been away. Busy life has made for no time to even remember to write. Since we have "talked," my life has been filled. Kyle was at training, came home, had the Brown's visit, back to training, working, playing with the puppy, walking the puppy, cooking, cleaning, etc. etc. etc.
I would ask if anyone is even listening but I have heard from so many people whether or not I am going to write again. It makes me feel good to know I entertain people... even if it is from sheer boredom that they wander to my page, still, in fact, I bring some entertainment.
The latest realizations in life:
#1. My job really isn't so bad. I think I am most frustrated with the scheduling. I get along with people, I get work done (if I remember to keep it one thing at a time), and my boss isn't so hateful. It is all in prioritizing, organizing, and a good mind set. Work is OK.
#2. I really really love my husband. He is good to me. He is always concerned about me when I am frustrated, he buys me nice things, rubs my feet, supports me, cleans and cooks for me... ahh! Good man.
#3. Our dog Diesel has personality. First, he has a "pit face" and a "lab face." The lab face is the face he wears when he is happy and wants to play. He wants to love on you/you love on him and snuggle. His pit face is his fake intimidation, pout-feel-sorry-for-me face.
He sighs, he pounces, runs, and is getting more vocal. He paws at you, he steals your spot on the bed or couch when you move a millimeter and he is ever so patient and gentle. He is just such a good dog. We have a great family! :)
#4. I am selfish. I am almost mad when Kyle goes away. I feel so selfish when I am lonely and pissed off. It's not Kyle's fault and it is something I need to work on.
#5. I am counting the days until June 19th. We are coming home!!! :)
I will write more. I promise.
Later Gator.
