Looks like Airborne is closing his blog. I found him through an article on MSN.com and it seems like that article is a reason for his undoing. I'm sorry to hear that because it was interesting to hear a soldier's prospective of what was really going on.
Although he'll no longer be posting, until maybe after he's out of the war, he's still in my thoughs and prayers for a safe return.

10 days in a row
Okay, I'm about done with the rain! I was watching our local news and they mentioned we've had rain 10 days in a row. Supposedly it will be dry Thu/Fri/Sat and then rain again on Sunday.
I tell you what it was nasty today. Where I sit at work there are no windows. I was going to the restroom and I could see the windows and it was pitch black outside! I went to take a look and it was just incredible how dark it was. It looked like I was working at midnight. Of course the first thing I think - my dog!
We've not yet bought our prissy little dog a doghouse yet to take cover from the rain. And well she got away - again! sigh.
So the guy who had her gave me his address but we ended up meeting between the both of us. I did look up his address before we met and it was over 7 miles away, past a major highway. One of my friends mentioned that maybe they found her closer to my home and they just took her to their home. So I asked this when we met.
Nope!! She actually walked, ran, jogged whatever to their side of town. The wife had the door open getting ready to go, turned around to do something, turned back around and there was M&M inside their house. They also have a husky so she decided to keep M&M and put her with their dog. M&M being the big mean dog she is (so not) started fighting with their dog (which they told me is much bigger than M&M).
When I drove home with her she wasn't as hyper in my car as she normally is. When we got home she went straight to the water bowl. And she's been laying down ever since. Even when Mr. M came in the door she just laid there. I guess walking over 7 miles kind of wears you out.

Yo Ho Ho - A Pirate's Life For Me!
I've now seen the 3rd movie of my 4 anticipated movies - Pirate's!
Of course it was a good movie and Johnny Depp was great! I do, however, recommend that you watch the 2nd one again before you watch the 3rd. Mr. M and I found ourselves a little lost with the story line because we didn't exactly remember what happened in the 2nd show.
And the one time that we don't stay till the very end (after all the credits) I hear there is a little surprise. We usually always stay till the end after big movies like that... why we didn't this time I don't know! ARGH!
Anywho, good movie... enjoy it maties!

My dog and the rain
It has been decided that M&M does not like the rain.
I knew that she didn't like the sprinklers and taking a bath but I didn't think that the rain was that big of a deal to her. But it seems that everytime it rains she finds a way out of our yard.
As you can guess we got rain today! Mr M got home and there was a note on our door from our neighbor advising us that they had our dog. Good thing because evidently before she escaped our yard she got her dog collar with all her tags that identify her off her neck.
I think I've finally convinced Mr. M that we need to get her a dog house. If for anything else but to get out of the rain. He keeps trying to compare her to the dog he grew up with "my dog never went into his dog house..." Well M&M is a prissy little girl and she probably will.
So we'll start looking at prices and different types and see what we can get her. Hopefully this will help. Plus I won't feel so bad when I hear there's a storm coming while we're at work. And with all the funky weather we've been having lately I just feel better about it.

Funny...
This was sent to me at work and I thought it was a little funny so had to share. My favorite is #7. Enjoy!
Colonoscopies are no joke, but these comments during the exam were quite humorous. A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies:
1. "Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!
2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"
3. "Can you hear me NOW?"
4. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
5. "You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally married."
6. "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?"
7. "You put your left hand in, you take your left handout..."
8. "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"
9. "If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!
10. "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."
11. "You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?"..
12. "Could you write a note for my wife saying that myhead is not up there?"

Superbowl 2011
So it was announced today that Dallas will host the 2011 Superbowl!
Whoopty freakin doo!
Me and a couple of friends of mine at work were talking about this. We said "make your travel arrangements now to be out of the city". I understand it will bring in revenue to our city, of which I'm sure I'll not see anything really done with it, but I don't want to be in the midst of it all.
Me and my bf were also talking about it tonight. At first we also agreed to high tail it out of town. Then I told her that's when all of our "friends and family" will be calling asking if they can stay with us. THEN we decided we could rent out our extra rooms, make some extra cash. Okay, I know that will never happen, but would be funny.
Speaking of funny. I think it's funny how they chose Dallas and the new Cowboy Stadium. There not even done with the stadium. As a matter of fact have they even started building it? How do you choose a stadium that's not complete, how do you know what it will be like and stuff? Truthfully I could care less about the Cowboys Stadium. Just because I'm in Dallas does not mean I like the Cowboys. I don't really like football. But when people ask who my favorite team is I respond, "Whomever is playing against the Cowgirls!" :-)
