That's kind of what I feel like I am doing right now ( Read more... )

These are quotes from an opinion letter from my hometown paper in response to a letter that my mate wrote. Keep in mind he is on his second tour, has a severe spinal problem and is currently living in a tent and going out on missions. He is also a gun enthusiast and has always qualfied with high marks nearing perfect with his weapons. And unless ( Read more... )

Gonna go take a nap soon, but decided I wanted to post this now while I was thinking of it. My PYO Windstones arrived yesterday safe and sound. I wonder if there is some fun craft I can do with all the packing peanuts I have now. I will begin painting them later today, if my paints haven't dried out.

Haven't done any ceramic type painting in a while ( Read more... )

As usual, they were very nice and explained ( Read more... )

But this has just been a really crappy two weeks. My mate had to go back to Iraq, only to be moved even further away from a real base. I'm going to be lucky if I hear from him once a week and considering what things are like over there that isn't going to be doing my blood pressure or stress level any good.
