Saturday, July 21

Today was the first day I DROVE a car in 2 weeks! I got up early with a
few of my new friends and we headed to the BIG px at 0900 this morning.
So I got up early...to SHOP in IRAQ....(Typical woman I know). I got a
CinnaBon coffee and 2 gifts for my babies...(stuffed camels for Milo and
Gordo...LOL). Since I checked the truck out I GOT to drive us all
around. Didn't get out of 3rd gear once....hardly got out of 2nd.
Everything is a stick shift here too...all Toyota 4 door trucks or Ford
Explorers with the exception of a few CLEAN Beamers. (weird I know).

After the PX we went to the Hodgie Shops (where you get the bootleg
videos). So I picked up a copy of Transformers! A few other movies
(girly ones) that just came out too. One with Robin Williams "License to
Wed" or something like that. I also got a movie called "Uncle Saddam". I
was told it was a good resource on the background of Saddam and all the
palaces on the bases with all the history and 'reasoning' behind it all.
So I will let you know how it "really" is once I see it. All the movies
were $3 each. They had "Cuban cigars" there but I wouldn't trust
them....no idea what they put in that stuff. You can get ANY software
you want too. Some of the guys (GI's and Contractors) had LISTS of
software they wanted and were checking off what they were getting and/or
what they had. One of the guys who was with my group bought a copy of
Adobe Creative Suite 3 for $5....(good luck with that working!). Just
take a wild guess who G-R-E-A-T is smelt in there too!! Yeah...brought
TEARS to your eyes...limited AC in the building with just fans and a LOT
of people in 117 heat...not a good thing...
