Indiana Bound

I can't sleep and it's past 11:00 pm, so I'm going to catch up on some bloggin'.

I am Indiana bound in 6 weeks!! I'm turning in the paperwork so my orders are out of their equivalent of purgatory so I can return to the best country in the entire world in a month and a half. I cannot WAIT. I have doctors appointments scheduled before I leave, and the day after I return, so lots of people will be making sure Baby S. and I are a-okay.

Some things that are going to be weird about being at home:

• selection at grocery-milk in a plastic jug, fresh chicken meat, cantalopes costing less than the price of admission for three to a movie
• selection at Wal-mart-choice among three or more brands/varieties in just about everything
• Target!
• driving on the opposite side of road/opposite side of vehicle
• More than one television channel
• a choice on the radio
• More than one source of news and newspaper
• Socializing with people at home (well, my parents home, but still)
• Not hearing and seeing fighter jets on a daily basis
• Not stopping at 5 pm everyday for three minutes during colors
• Cars that aren't cartoon looking
• Dialtones on phones
• not ignoring what others are saying, because I'll be able to understand their language
• post office with semi-regular hours
• talking on a phone instead of to a computer screen

I cannot WAIT to return to the best place in the land!
