Three

Today is the ex's 44th birthday. I've been so busy with life and ya know, planning my soldier's return that well... maybe the kids can make him something? Maybe an ecard? Did he remember my birthday? Oh yeah, guess he did.


Top 10 signs I'm nuts about a soldier boy man (thanks Teri!) who needs to be home soon:

10. My body aches from holding my breath for a whole year.

9. Last night I had a glass of wine instead of dinner, just to stop my brain from thinking.

8. My vibrator is gathering dust. I'm ready for the real thing!

7. Every hot bald man makes my heart skip a beat. Especially if they're wearing camo!

6. My house is fully decorated for 3 holidays... and it isn't even Halloween yet.

5. Every time I turn on the radio, I hear the same song. One that always reminds me of him.

4. I am now counting by hours instead of days or months.

3. I start to cry at the opening credits to Army Wives.

2. Once thought-provoking blog posts are now a countdown of a mushy top 10 and task lists.

And the number 1 sign that I'm nuts about a soldier man who needs to be home soon:

1. Even I'm tired of hearing myself talk about him!!!

Today's tasks:

• Get a facial

A girlfriend of mine who owns a spa wants to help me "look as fabulous as possible" before he gets home.

• Work on the laundry

This way, it won't be one more thing to do on Thursday night....

Almost there.
