Counting down
Just about two weeks to go in the Ultimate Iraq Escape countdown. As cliche as it sounds, I can’t believe it’s almost all over. Six weeks from now, I will be, for all intents and purposes, out of the Army. And then I will never ever again have to walk outside and see this:
YUM. And you wonder from whence comes the derisive snort I give people when they tell me smoking is bad for me.
or this …
The days aren’t exactly flying by, but I stay busy enough to keep from spending too much time glaring at the date/time block on my computer, begging it to change, goddammit, I want to go hoooome (what? I didn’t say I don’t spend any time doing that). But you know what? As long as the weather report isn’t “Beginning brown, with an increased probability of orange, plus explosions,” I think I’ll be okay.
I saw those orange skies on the news tonight and thought, poor Meany. She needs a hug. Hang on! Its almost over.

Holy shit, that looks worse than those brown days LA has. Also, I’d love to subscribe but I don’t see a place to do so. Have you downloaded the Subscribe Plugin?

OOH – the day is on the horizon! It’s always great when you can see the date – on expiration dates, news stories, movie release dates, etc.
Good luck with the last two weeks until FREEDOM!

It’s like a freaking vacation advertisement… “It’s not as bad as it seems.”
Eek…

Okay, from what I can figure out…you’re home and you should be out of the army in about 3 more weeks, right around the time schools get out, so it’ll be like summer vacation for you, I hope!
