Exhiliration


I had a b-e-a-u-tiful run today. Everything felt nice. I got all my homework done and managed to organize my bills, etc. Yay!!

Jacque and I went to lunch today at Olive Garden. Soup, salad, and breadsticks are your friend!! I gave her her birthday present and we had a good time. Our server was funny and we laughed a lot. We were taking pictures before we left and our server jumped right in too! Then as we were standing out front and hugging an old man came out of nowhere and he wanted to hug us too! ahhahahaahha! It was hilarious. I left with a smile on my face.

This next week is going to be a bit challenging. I have school for the next four days, then two days of drill, and then another day of school before I have a day off. Phew! Oh well, I just want the time to pass quickly so that I can see Max again. WEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I went through a bunch of old letters today after I organized my bills/papers. I have a medium-sized rubbermaid container full of these letters and cards. I sorted them and read a few. I had several pen pals over the years. The first one was a sailor that I had met while I lived in Virginia. He wrote me for several years before he got married, and then I lost track of him. I also had a pen pal from France that I was assigned my freshman year of high school through some sort of service. She was really nice but we stopped talking when Clinton did Lewinski. Go figure. Then I had lots of letters from my old best friend who I also met in Virginia. We remained friends for several years until she had a child and I didn't hear from her much after that. Let's see.... there were a lot from my ex-fiance. Those ended with the breakup-haha. I had a large number of letters from my mom from when I was in basic training. I really appreciate that she wrote me regularly. It helped a great deal. There were a lot of birthday cards from over the years and few other miscellaneous things. It was nice (and interesting) to look back over some of those letters. I only wish that I had a copy of the letters that I wrote. I don't get to see what I had to say back then, or how I've changed. All in all, a very eye-opening afternoon.
