NO DATE, PRESUME MON. 9th

Hey Mom! Congtrats on getting (licensed)! Yeah, all that "sanitation" stuff is mess, isn't it? Heck, they should come see the "salon" here. I think THE hairdresser got (licensed) by a blind guy or something. There are some wacked-up hair cuts around here. (Nice cards! They look so professional!)
I can't wait to see Georgia all pregnant and stuff, it's going to be awesome. HeeHee, I wish I could get some of those "new mommy curves" right about now. I've lost all of mine. Seriously, I'm thrilled at all the new lean muscle and six pack, but when I put on my old civilian bra to get fitted, I looked retarded. I had to go to the PX and buy a new one, and the (size) was TOO BIG! Aaaaghhh! Hello, socks! Hey, improvise, adapt and overcome, right?
Well, this week is all classes which is a good thing, because I was put on "light duty" for my ankle this week by the doctor. Yep, everybody was shocked when I requested to go to medical, because I said I'd never go, but I've got to nip this in the bud (ankle injury) before the Crucible. Medical put me in tenni runners for a couple of days and I'm taking 2 naproxen a day. Please pray.
A couple of girls came down with a severe stomach virus and have been violently puking for the past 2 WEEKS. (we don't share canteens anymore) ;)
Everybody went to donate blood to give to the injured in Iraq, but only 5 girls in our entire platoon had hemoglobin levels high enough to donate. I was too low at 12.2. I was sad, because it would've been cool to know my blood was flying over to those guys and saving lives and stuff. But oh well. If at first you don't succeed, eat a buttload of spinach and try again. Right?
xoxo 17days!!
