Just another day on Kwaj ...

Argh. BK has been saying, since they opened on July 3rd, that the biscuits for the breakfast sandwiches would be in on the next barge. Well, the next barge was in last Wednesday ... I went to BK on Saturday morning, thinking that 4 days was plenty of time to unload some freaking biscuits ... naturally, I didn't take into account that this is Kwaj. Still no biscuits.

AAFES.com told me that my Wii shipped via UPS. I almost cried, as UPS doesn't come anywhere near Kwaj. Turns out they just forgot the -S- between the -U- and the -P-. Hurrah! It may get here this week! That would be AWESOME!

I go to the doc for my second post-cortisone shot follow-up tomorrow. I think I may actually get off of light duty ... FINALLY! I have been on light duty for more than half of this year. Breaking your face and tearing your triangular fibro-cartilage complex are apparently not excellent pasttimes.

Planning for vacation has been going very well ... New Zealand is all bought and paid for ... the trip, not the whole country ... Disney is shaping up nicely. I just need to figure out when I can have Mickey Mouse call my niece. I really want him to call me, but since the trip is all about Zoey (as is pretty much everything else), she should get the call.

Anywho, just thought I'd post somethng about my ridiculously boring life, where the excitement comes in biscuit form ... or it would, but they apparently aren't here yet.

A few weeks off ...

Ok, not so much from work, but from school. The summer semester ended today and I am done with the 2 classes I was taking. Hurrah! Fun will be had in the fall semester when I go on vacation for a month, a week into the semester. The laptop will be traveling with me! But in the next few weeks I have several books to read, so time will not be wasted!

Nothing all that new and exciting on Kwajalein ... BK rocks, Subway is tasty, it appears Anthony's Pizza gives some of us intestinal turbulence, and the shakes at Baskin-Robbins Not-Quite-31-Flavours are chock full of yumminess!

I have finally broken down and ordered my first video gaming system. I have bought myself a Wii. Wii is awesome. Wii allowed me to get my best bowling score ever. Yah Wii! With any luck it will come to me sometime this year!

Time to go and figure out how to arrange and arm my vassals appropriately so I can go back to war-mode in Knighthood ... yes, yes, I know. Geek. Geek is the word youa re looking for.

My Very First "Real" Blog

So I decided to get a blogspot blog, because I am so freaking terrible at updating my website. This will be easier and Kevin will have something to read, and since I am stuck in the salt mines for another few weeks, I will have plenty to say ... I'm sure! :)

Not much for now, just a big hello to friends and family and that's about it
