Look it is yet another place to waste time on the internet. I have to say I hardly keep up with my myspace, facebook, and I even once had a livejournal account. I'm not a terribly prolific writer, I usually save all my letter writing abilities for the butthead (that would be my boyfriend Adam).
Butthead and I we are like two peas in a very strange pod. I don't think I know anyone in the world who can make me laugh as hard as he can. Sadly, very sadly he left to go to Iraq because he signed a contract with the government that said they could make him go to Iraq (we weren't dating then) and guess what, they decided it was time to go.
Now no one in my family had ever been in the military. So I had no idea what to expect. Well let me put it this way. It's a lot screwier than I ever could have imagined. I didn't know the army could do what it does do to people. It totally threw me for a loop. Not to mention totally pissed me off when I realized how utterly insignificant any of my concerns or objections were. Or how totally inane the army's decision making process is.
I talk to Adam's Mom all the time and she clues me in which is helpful. We send Adam a lot of care packages, I try to think of fun creative things to send. The best thing I have sent so far in my opinion was a package of tennis ball to throw at snoring people (since he shares a room with at least 20 other guys) . I think he liked the simple blanket that I got a friend to help me sew together the best. I tried to make a light and soft blanky and I wrote on it "My Myna Loves me."
Anyways thats my story so far...

it's totally cool that you stop by and leave some comments! I'm not too great at keeping up with writing but I'm going to do my best...it's kind of fun really!
And you're right, the Army definitely has it's own agenda and what is supposed to happen in 3 weeks may happen tomorrow...oh the Army life! I'll be reading your blog...that is fun too! :o]
Something you can count on with the Army is Hurry up and wait. Everything changes, many times!
Glad you found me, it's always great to make another "military" friend.
