It's Friday. Thank God! It's been an interesting, busy couple of weeks. I still need to write my article for teamdei.net along with a billion other things that I just can't seem to get done.

We got two new kittens last week and though they're the cutest damn things, one of them has unbelievably rank gas. They wrestle all the time, flipping over eachother and rolling around. Too funny. Their names are Trixie and Trinket.

The soldier we "adopted" sent me an email a couple of days ago and the kids (and I) were really excited to hear from him. I'd sent a couple of letters and small boxes of treats but hadn't heard from him until now. He's a medic so I can only imagine that he stays really busy. I've got to get to the post office to mail him his goodies. When I asked him what he wanted me to send all he asked for was baby wipes and minutes on his phone card so he can talk to his wife. Seems like a minimal request for someone who is sacrificing so much. So we're doing that, but we've also sent some cookies, lemonade mix for his bottled water, gum, toothpaste, lotion and other things just to let him know we're thinking about him. He gets a one month leave next month so I hope this gets to him before he leaves. Seems like a sweet kid, and I am really looking forward to getting to know him. If you read my blog, please keep "J" in your prayers... along with all our service men and women.

ALright, I gotta get moving so I can get this in the mail. Have a good day! kdgr
