3.5K x 101 degrees= 28 minutes!
Hey it's Tuesday July 12, 2005! I go home in 8 days!!!! Only for 2 weeks but it's still out of here for 20 days!!! Soooooooooooo excited!!!
Today Ashley and I went for a run. All things considered, we ran at my pace (about 5.5/6.0 mph), in 101 degree hot sun, windy, dusty for 3.5K (little over 2 miles) it took us 28 min. And I am DAMN proud of myself!!!!!!!!!!!
So nothing new here been working, not sleeping and day dreaming of home!! I can hardly wait to see EVERYONE that has been writing to me while I have been here. Thanks for all the support, it really sucks being away from home and civilization for the last 7 months. I know I am in Kuwait but it still sucks...
I am here with people I didn't even know before all this started, haven't seen any family or my best friends, can't eat the food I crave (Applebee's, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Old Spaghetti Factory, Buffalo Wild Wings, Chicago, Panda Garden, King's Wok, Arby's, McDonald's, Perkins, Grizzly's, etc), no driving a normal vehicle, no hugs, no kisses, no crying at good movies, no sense of what new movies even are, no t.v., no cold showers, no grass, no Thirsty Thursday, no getting mad at my parents just because they are making too much noise when I have a hangover, no dancing, no clubs, no seeing my nephew's first crawl or hearing the other one learn to count, no pouty faces because I wouldn't give him my cookie, no spilled milk, no sticky fingers, no crazy dog always jumping on me, no cats (Scooter & Lucky), no cuddling when I really need it, no pedicures, no chiropractor, no coffee and rolls after church on Sunday, no keeping up with what everyone else has been up too, no cute sandals for summer, no dresses or skirts (the wind is always blowing), no hot date Saturdays, no smells of fresh cut alfalfa, etc., etc. You never know how much you miss till it's all ripped away from you.
I hope everyone is doing good and the "hot" weather hasn't been getting to you, what it's maybe 90 there? LOL Miss you all, can't wait to see the majority of you!! XO
P.S. Joe~ Las Vegas is going to be a trip, especially with your broken
