well, lets see. the past week sucked. but the weekend before now was so worth my time. the past week ive been sleeping on a Bradley fighting vehicle in the cold with ankle deep mud outside the back door, and a few inches of mud on the floor… then shooting plywood targets at over a kilometer away with violent accuracy… then more sitting around for another day or two…

whatever… its over. oh ya, about my 4 day weekend back in chicago. I went home to see -k. it was really good. i was so relaxed and welcomed there. i completely forgot all about the army for 4 days. we chilled out and just lounged around most of the time. thursday, she picked me up from the airport, we went to jewel to buy some oreos and dr. pepper… imagine that, i have the taste buds of an infant. then proceeded to watch nonsense TV for the night and talked.

friday, we went to my moms. played on some drums, went out to lunch and dinner… lunch was guess what : pizza. giordanos deep dish. wee. then dinner was a diner restaurant thing. the whole fam had a good time. everyone likes -k a lot. (they claim she is shy, but what do you expect… heeh)

saturday, was another chill afternoon. went out to eat once again, i got a burger. not very experimental with that meal. then over to andys house and hung with him and chip. that evening we went out to eat, yes again, to 7 on heaven. then walked over to the house of blues to see Cannibal Corpse. that was like my 6th or 7th time seeing them there. wee. it was good and loud. -k didnt seem to hate it that much… rather enjoyed the new experience (so she says hehe). next show will be king diamond… ha. off to andys after the show, and everyone had an enjoyable time watching spinal tap.

sunday, the last day of my weekend, and the time i had to go back to TX… mm gay. took some planes, got held over in houston cuz of the weather… slept on a hard bench in an airport. mm gay. then eventually got back to post monday afternoon, only to head out to the field an hour later… wee.

all in all, i got trampled and molested by some dogs, a cat, and mm -k :)
it was so good to have time off, and i am glad i spent it with who i spent it with.
