Thoughts from the under-belly of..um...er..the belly?

Things have been weird having the days off we have. It has thrown our schedules out of whack!! Nyree went back to work this past week for a day and a half. Then this next week, because of the new year, she will have Tuesday off but goes back on Wed. Just strange.

We stayed up last night until 6 in the morning to watch the Pats-Giants game. The Pats were going for the first undefeated season since the '72 Dolphins. They won 38-35. It really looked like the pats were gonna blow it, but the Giants managed to snatch defeat form the jaws of victory!!! It was neat that Nyree stayed up for the game. Well she actually went to sleep then woke up at 230 for the game.

I finally get to have a hair cut today!! That is if Angela decides to show up to volleyball. She has been out of town on vacation and my hair shows it!!! I really don't mind the length so much as the curling around the ears and such. I really just want it off the ears.

I have been going to the driving range the past couple of weeks. Thanks to John I am able to do some gardening with the rest!!! John gave me an extra set of clubs before I left and am grateful. The first time we went out the guys were a bit ambitious I think. We ordered 3 bucket of balls and MAN did I pay for that!!! My right hamstring was tender to the touch for a week after because it was so sore!! Man that was pain. Of course it was the first time I have been to a course, let alone a range, in at least 5 years. It was also nice to see that my nasty slice I have always had travels well. It made it all the way here to Africa!! But once I got that straightened out I was surprised at how well I was striking the ball. I was getting the driver to go about 250M or about 280 yards. Not bad for being out of it so long.

Nyree says she hates our neighbors dog. That is interesting on one level because it is a pug. A dog that she loves. On the other hand it is a little jerk and a wild dog because they let it run free. We still haven't figured out how to tell them they need to leash their dog. Not to mention those people think the pool is their own private babysitter for their kids. OK I am starting to sound like a bitter recluse.....LOL.

Nyree just said that maybe she wants to be a vet. I looked at her funny. She wants me to erase this but I wont. I think it is a funny blurb.

Our friends Rob and Bridget have the pics from the golf course. When I finally get her to email me the pic I will post it.

I get to get started on getting the commissary and gym up and running now that the holidays are over. Man that was a lot of "get" Anyway, lot's of people have been gone for vacations and the days off have made it hard to get anything done. I mainly just shelved the projects until they are over. Well they are over so I will keep you all up to date on progress. The funny thing about it is I never used to be such a go getter about these sorta things. But here (ESPECIALLY HERE!!!) I think it is important for people to REALLY try and make it better. At least try to leave it in a little better shape then when we got here.

I guess that's all my little mind can conjure.
