TGIF

Thank God It's Friday :)
...not that this Friday is any different than any other day of the week for you, but I do like Fridays. I am especially partial to Saturdays as I usually come in an hour or two later in the morning and then have Mass at 1200. I sing in the choir with 4-8 other people. We have 2 soldiers that play the guituar for the service too (and they aren't even Catholic!). Well, I'm not officially Catholic yet either, but I do presume I am about 12 weeks or so away from it! I have been religously going to my RCIA (Catholicism for Dummies) class every Monday. They cover a subject of the Catholic beliefs and we ask questions and such.

Recently, I am proud to report, I have been taking some Six Sigma classes and am signed up for a Rosetta Stone Language Course through eArmy. Any active or reserve military person can sign up for language classes, business courses, ect. and they are FREE to us! I am interested in taking just 1-2 units of Arabic, but I would like to get back up to speed on my Spanish, as I would like to speak that fluently and begin taking German classes too...just in case I do get to live there for a while during William's active army commitment there. I am interested in getting my Masters degree when I get home too!

I have switched offices and am now in the same office I was in when we originally began the tour back in June! I have a huge window next to my desk where I can see daylight out of the top half, the bottom half is covered with sandbags for protection. I have a really large wooden desk covered with too many files and projects in the works. I currently have my purple mug (from Karen and the kids), along with a black bear beanie that I accumulated from an Any Soldier box, and a second hand (blue) candle that I got from Holly when she was switching buildings. I have, close at hand, a lunch box with teas and cocoas, sugars, and stirs just in case I get the chance to be a good hostes. I'm prepared. I have a computer of my own, but have opted to not get a mouse for it. I instead have a handy USB port where I can plug in up to 4 more thumb drives. I have simple sony earbugs to listen to music politely throughout the day and a set of purple lavender pillows that they rest on when I am not using them.
