Another Day, Another Dollar

Another Day.......Another Dollar........ Good things right~!!! Another day meaning that I survived another day over here, and another dollar meaning that I am ONE step closer to be debt free!! We are starting to save money now for the wedding that we HOPE is going to happen in April of '08 although we DON'T have an exact date set up yet. We are hoping to find a wedding planner since I SPAZZZ out so much when I am under stress, and Brian says that he doesn't want me freaking out over every little detail of the wedding, which he knows that I will.
I think that I have ALREADY spent about 100.00 JUST on magazines. I go through them, rip out about 1-15 pages out of each and throw them away...pretty big waste huh? I go through and find the interesting dresses, gift ideas, and "How toos" and then toss them. Those magazines are VERY expensive too!! I guess that they have to be though, it's not like they get repeat subscribers...that is unless you are a habitual marrier...well, I take that back because I KNOW people like that!! LOL!!
Anyway, the weather here is MUCK MUCK MUCK, the mud here is a LOT like Baby poo in that it is just sticky and mucky and gets all OVER everything. It reminds me of POO or baby powder mixed with water. Even if you do go outside in it, somehow by the end of the day, you end up with mud on you SOMEWHERE. Don't ask me how. I suppose that it is MAGIC mud!! Mmmmm, just another one of the wonders of Iraq, I guess.
Today is the 18th, just 4 days away from mine and Brian's 5th year anniversary. My MY MY, time flies when you are having fun huh?
You wanna know the truth though, I must say that my time in Iraq has went by pretty fast. I guess because we stay so busy that before you know it, another day has passed, then another month, and so on. I like routine, and this place is NOTHING if it is not routine. Except for the suprise of the mortar rounds coming in on occasion, there is nothing that goes on around here that is truly shocking. That is a blessing though...I thank GOD that I am not one of these guys and gals that has to go and venture outside the protection of the walls here at Camp Taji.
I can't say enough about our soldiers, and how proud that they make me to be American.
Well, it is 7:50PM, and I have rambled about enough for one day. Tomorrow is a BIG day, I have to show one of our staff members, who is Iraqi, how to style his hair WITHOUT using babyoil. He is the SWEETEST guy in the world, and I love him dearly as he is like a little brother to me now. BUT, I MUST, No, I find it MY DUTY to introduce him to hair gel, and to try to break his addiction to baby oil.
Good night for now. More later!
