21 Days to Create a Habit

At least, that's what the research claims - you have to do something 21 days in a row to make a new habit. Today was day 2 for my morning jog around the housing area (it's 1.89 miles). I did the entire loop (sucks it takes me 20 min - but I wasn't trying to go fast). 19 more days to go.

Tuesday night is Mongolian BBQ at DFAC2. Tonight was rice, shrimp, green beans, carrots, celery, bean sprouts. YUM!!! I'll try to take a picture next week.

We aren't getting mail for the next few days. Something about Iraqi customs and non-military planes (USPS isn't 'military'). I hope it doesn't delay my boxes from home for too long.

I'm watching too much Stargate. The guy who plays Daniel Jackson is really looking quite handsome.



Not a cute as the guys who played George Kirk and James Kirk in Star Trek. Yowza!

Otter Pops!

Courtesy of enaxor (from unFiction)! These freezer pops are the only way to get popsicles into the hospital for our patients on clear liquid diets. And come this summer they may come in handy when we need something from another unit.



Thanks Rox! Your idea to double ziploc bag them was very very smart! The pink ones seem to leak the most often.

Mail Call

So much fun to find boxes sitting on your chair. The chocolates are from Aunt Barb & Uncle Donald. The shower gel (along with boullion cubes & a travel checkers game) came from Rose (a friend on unFiction).

Thank you so much!!!

Mail Call

"Mail reps to the back dock" or "Mail reps report to MCC" paged overhead starts folks salivating.



The most highly anticipated time of the day.











With the availability of internet and email the letters are few and usually just bills or solicitations from magazine mailing lists. But packages. We love those boxes. And every afternoon you wonder if today you get one.

Today I got a box from my husband! Click pens (cause I keep losing mine), TV Guides and Entertainment Weeklys, and the entire 10 seasons of SG1 on DVD! So much fun opening a box from the States. Like a holiday morning.
