I got the final GO for departure of 14 June!!! I will leave Afghanistan probably on 10 June, be up in TJKSTN for 4 days and be in Baltimore, Md the evening of the 14th! However, I have to go back to Ft. Benning, Ga for a night or two so I can turn in my deployment gear but I should be in Maryland for good by the 16th! Hooray! Talk to you all soon!

So what's new? Well I am moving! We bought a house, and got it yesterday!! We move in August. It is only like 10mins from my house now which is awesome..but it is 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms and sits on .5 acres..so no complaints here..I get my own room after all these years..something to look forward to when I come home!! The house I live in now is 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms..Mom says that it looks small from the outside but once you get inside it is beautiful..I am excited..but since our house goes on the market there is sooooooo much cleaning and all that fun stuff to do..haha..guess who gets to help..me..o yea..I win..haha..nah I don't mind helping one bit, even if I am tired from chasing 1.5yr old twins around 5 hrs. every day..I love every min. of it though :-) So life is good at the moment for me, having a few family probs. but they don't involve me, they just bring a lil' tension..but I am dealing and just being there for my lil' sister..I prefer to not go in2 detail..she just made a bad decision that's all..but she can change, she has learned her lesson..so yea..I am just relaxing now and going to bed early..I have a headache..O yea and my doggie got "fixed" today so he is hurting a lil' bit..that is about it here to be honest..nothing going on other than moving and getting ready to sell and taking care of my doggie and chillen and babysitting..O and RICKY soon being only 45 mins from me, YIPPEE.."I'm so excited, I just can't hide it..."..LOL..whew!

We work like a horse.
We eat like a pig.
We like to play chicken.
You can get someone's goat.
We can be as slippery as a snake.
We get dog tired.
We can be as quiet as a mouse.
We can be as quick as a cat.
Some of us are as strong as an ox.
People try to buffalo others.
Some are as ugly as a toad.
We can be as gentle as a lamb.
Sometimes we are as happy as a lark.
Some of us drink like a fish.
We can be as proud as a peacock.
A few of us are as hairy as a gorilla.
You can get a frog in your throat.
We can be a lone wolf.
But I'm having a whale of a time!

You have a riveting web log
and undoubtedly must have
atypical & quiescent potential
for your intended readership.
May I suggest that you do
everything in your power to
honor your encyclopedic/omniscient
Designer/Architect as well
as your revering audience.

Please remember to never
restrict anyone's opportunities
for ascertaining uninterrupted
existence for their quintessence.

There is a time for everything,
a season for every activity
under heaven. A time to be
born and a time to die. A
time to plant and a time to
harvest. A time to kill and
a time to heal. A time to
tear down and a time to
rebuild. A time to cry and
a time to laugh. A time to
grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones
and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a
time to turn away. A time to
search and a time to lose. A
time to keep and a time to
throw away. A time to tear
and a time to mend. A time
to be quiet and a time to
speak up. A time to love
and a time to hate. A time
for war and a time for peace.

Best wishes for continued ascendancy,

P.S. One thing of which I am sure is
that the common culture of my youth
is gone for good. It was hollowed out
by the rise of ethnic "identity politics,"
then splintered beyond hope of repair
by the emergence of the web-based
technologies that so maximized and
facilitated cultural choice as to make
the broad-based offerings of the old
mass media look bland and unchallenging
by comparison."
