It's practically here.

I am the type of person who loves to travel. When any opportunity is presented to me (us) to take a small trip...you better believe that I (we) am (are) taking it. So I am quite excited about my next travel opportunity...though it is significantly longer and minus my right hand man, it is exciting. It will however, be full of photo-journalism and actual journalism....as best as I can do; and you can bet that, when I get back, there will be oodles of postings/pictures about my said trip (unfortunately, I don't have Blog access when I deploy otherwise I'd give y'all the play- by-play while I'm away). Another thing that's different this time is that I am the one leaving for a long time, and not my war-fighting hubby. He's been deployed 5 times....bless his heart....so I am usually the support system back home, making sure he has whatever he may need. I remember one trip he was on, I sent him the heaviest care package I think the 'Office-of-Post' had seen in a very long time. It had all of the regular snacks i.e. chips, gummies (that melted into one HUGE gummy by time it reached him), and baby wipes...but I also sent him 2 cases of his favorite pop/soda Big Red.

Today I got my hair braided. It took 6 hours...which is much faster than I expected, so I was happy. My initial plan was to do it myself but when I got started...I wanted nothing to do with it. SO I got on the phone and called to see if anyone could take me at the last minute...and the stars were aligned just right...because I got an appointment. Woo Hoo! I wonder how many braids I have in my head...I think I'll count them when my hair loosens up. Right now, my scalp is on fire!

Tomorrow is my last day in town until August...so Jas and I are going to hang out and do something...we don't know what...and I also have my last Ladies Lunch until August/September, so that should be a fun time....

As for now friends....I think I'm headed up to bed

Thanks for stopping by,
