I have been trying to think of something great to write about all week and have come up with nothing.
The only thing that you guys might find interesting is that tomorrow on Super Bowl Sunday we each are being granted the privilage to drink two beers. The interesting/ amusing part is that the FRAGO that was published with the rules and procedures for this occasion made a point to clarify that the FRAGO would use the words special beverage in place of the word beer. That alone made the FRAGO worth reading because every time I read the words special beverage I smiled. It's funny. Why not call it beer? I guess the Army thinks that the word beer implies that we will all behave badly and get drunk and act a fool....where as the word special beverage means we will all act like proper and civilized soldiers. It's two beers...call it what it is. And you have to jump through hoops to get them, so I am not certain that a whole heck of a lot of people will be drinking their two special beverages.
We are getting ready to leave. One would think that I should start packing...but I don't pack until the last second so I haven't done anything to prepare to leave this place. Cara and I need to sell our TV, microwave, refrigerator, etc. We will probably wait until the last second to do that as well. We don't want to lose our TV...how will we watch 30 Rock?
I have not posted the Ur pictures because they are on my computer now and not on my camera. Maybe I will get around to posting them this week. I have three days off a week now, and I spend the mornings drinking coffee and SFC McAllen's room which has been named Common Grounds (we stole the name...it's not original) and then I spend the afternoons at the gym. Then in the evening I have done a couple different things. Hang out with Newton, go watch Cara play basketball, and bible study are all things I have done.
Oh. Tomorrow morning is Sunday, and I am going to go swimming. I have a list of things I want to do before I leave here. I checked off swimming in an indoor pool last week, and I plan on continuing the tradition this Sunday.
Well now I really have nothing else left to report. If you guys have any questions you should let me know. Maybe I could have a Q and A blog post or something.

How buff are you now? All that time at the gym?!?!?! Now just tan a lot and you're a guido.
ReplyDeleteI just got caught up by reading several of your latest blogs...I am not sure what to say about your early departure of Iraq. Of course my first reaction is Yeah, you are coming home! How exciting! But you sound disappointed about your unit's accomplishments or involvement in your "exercise". Please don't. Be proud of your sacrifice and of your contributions. We are all very proud of you.
ReplyDeleteWell, we had our usual Super Bowl party with 25 or 30 of our closest friends! What a great game. I was really surprised the Saints won, but it was fun to watch.
Vinny of course came to the party and of course slept on the couch that night. The next morning he couldn't find his phone so he looked in the couch cushions. Not only did he find THAT phone, but he also found his old phone, that he obviously lost the last time he slept on our couch! Ahh...Vinny! How funny is that!?
Be safe, Anna. Have safe travels home and we look forward to seeing you soon,
Bev
