My New Years started off with continued resolutions and the challenge of getting Mr. D and Ms. W out of bed to run in the New Years 5K. It is funny watching two non-morning people drag their behinds out of bed to run 5K… all for a T-shirt. It all worked out because we all finished and I ran 20 seconds faster than the last 5K. Winning! By the way Batman and Mario from the Super Mario Brothers were present.
So New Years also brought on a friendly office bet! Mr. D bet $50.00 that after 1 Jan he would start eating only off the green menu. The chowhall places colored cards in front of each menu item so you can see if it is healthy or unhealthy. Sometimes I think they never change out the colored cards because I have seen some crazy items with a green card labeling them healthy. So first let me tell you that Mr. D eats off the red line quite often and always is drinking soda and eating dessert. I had a lot of faith that he would start the New Years off right. So you are probably wondering how long he lasted? Didn’t even make it through Day 1!!!! But he has decided to turn over a new leaf for 1 Feb! Plus he told me I could slap him if he ate anything with a red tag!
So I have been going to the gym at least 5 times a week, I have been eating right, drinking soda only one time a week, and eating out on Saturdays (our eat out night). The gym here is ridiculous at the time we go, it is like a sardine can in there. Everyone is working out on top of one another and some of those soldiers and Marines smell like sardines. I swear some of those fools haven’t showered in about a week.
So weird story: I went to the gym with my workout group on Saturday and I guess I must have lost my workout glove. I didn’t happen to notice until I was preparing to go to the gym again on Monday. I looked everywhere for that little glove… I tore my room apart, looked in all the vehicles and even checked outside on the ground. Most of my workout partners were sick so just two of us went to they gym. I asked the Kuwaiti guys who run the gym to check the lost in found to see if it was in there (mind you there was no one standing near me when I asked the gym guys about my lost glove). No such luck. So we worked ou t for 2 hours and were heading out of the gym to chow, when this guy comes out of nowhere and says “Hey I overheard you say you lost your glove, is this it?”. Mind you I mentioned my glove two hours ago and lost it two days ago. I look down at the little black thing he hands me and realize, it sure is my glove. I tell the guy thank you and he takes off. My friend and I start analyzing how he could have over heard me and how he happened to find my glove. It was very creepy and stalkerish, but I may be overreacting. Anyway I am happy to get my tiny workout glove back.
So some highlights from the last few weeks:
I watched my roommate through away some brand new office supplies with her garbage one morning. Then I watched her dumpster dive after them.
I then watched my roommate leave the keys in the running car and start walking into the gym. One of the guys we work out with says… “The car sounds like its still running” Of course it does because we just witnessed a blond moment.
I was awakened at 2am in the morning to one of my best Hookers in the World talking about how she wants me and hubby to go with her to Las Vegas in a few months so her and her husband can renew their vows dressed as Super Heros. All I can picture is them dressed as Batman and Robin having their vows renewed by Elvis in a small chapel on Vegas strip. She had me in tears laughing. I think I woke up my roommate.
As most of you all know I rode a camel a few weeks ago. It was a camel that the MWR brought onto Camp Buehring and I got to ride for less than 2 minutes. So while my roommate were standing in line we were observing how weird the camels feet were. So later I post pictures on Facebook. This is where I have another amazing blond moment.
April posts: Did you happen to get a picture of their toes?
Courtnee posts: No but there are really weird looking. All soft and cushiony; nothing like a horse.
(Two hours pass and I realize what April was referring to)
Courtnee posts: April. I am a little slow and just realized what you were talking about….Their toes look nothing like it?
(**** Note if you do not know what a Camel Toe is please refer all questions to an adult with a perverted mind****)
Overall the last few weeks have been going by pretty fast. Working a lot and now taking two college classes which are challenging. I also want to thank all of my friends and family who have sent me some amazing care packages filled with amazing goodies, letters and cards. Mail is such a morale booster especially when you are far from home.
