i'm back!

well, i survived basic training...it really wasn't as hard as i thought it would be! i think the hardest part was being away from home for nine weeks (ten really, if you count reception)....but i made it! i didn't really loose weight though....that's kinda a bummer....what happened was i gained fifteen pounds in muscle weight, then lost fifteen in fat, so i'm a little slimmer...which is ok.....i dont mind cause i'm buff now! i think what i'll do is post a new story every night, but i'm way to tired tonight to do that. after all, i'm used to going to bed at 21:00, and it's 02:27! C-R-A-Z-Y!!!! i feel like i should be getting up in two hours (you know, cause we usually got up at 04:30)....
i really missed knitting and crocheting....i started a crocheted scarf today....it's going to be a basic blue and white block scarf....nothing much...just enough to keep my hands busy until i leave for AIT (advanced individual training) next week....yes, i know, i just got back and i'm leaving again! but it's only four weeks this time! don't worry, much shorter this time....like a vacation, really, cause it's right on virgina beach! i'll be at norfolk (which is a naval base, but the armed forces school of music is there...).....i heard it's a really nice base....
i bought a "i love my kitty" scrap book and a whole bunch of cat embelishments today....plus a mini kitty scrapbook for when i go to AIT....i know...just what a combat killer needs, huh? lol!!! that reminds me of a basic training story, but you'll get that tommarrow....(i know, leaving you hanging, huh? OH THE SUSPENSE!!!!....deal with it!!)
i also bought some grean beads to make my brother's ex-girlfriend a rosary to send to her...i found out she's at the same post as i was and in the battalion RIGHT next to mine! i couldn't believe it! i thought i saw her the week i graduated, but at the time i didn't know she was down there, and i shrugged it off cause i thought she was back home...but that's another story that will have to wait for a later date!
i have tons of stories! BRM, pink foot baths, drill sergeants listening to inappropriate conversations, DS's watching dancing, grenades, big weapons, cute ass drill sergeants, promotions, etc....too many to tell right now...lol....i really am tired, i swear! i'll write first thing tommarrow, i promise! lol! but for now, sweet dreams of firing m-16's!! good night!
