So I'm hanging out in my room. It's not completely mine, though, because I have to share with 2 others....but we've managed to arrange it so we each have our own private space.
And I have the couch. Ha. No one else has one. Neener neener neener.
The couch is hideous, but I've covered it up with a red microfleece blanket...so it's doable. Without the blanket you can't look at it unless the lights are off. It's that bad.
So. I'm in my area. Watching the CMA's on AFN (That's the Armed Forces Network, for you non-military types) and feeling quite nostalgic.
Looking around from my perch on the Couch of Hideousness, here's what I see....
~The Kickass Coffee/Tea/Cocoa Maker. It has a place of honor on top of my bookshelf. I think I'll stop and make some tea.....one sec.
Okay I'm back. Onward!
~The TV. It's a nice big one...28" I think. It's good for drowning out the noises my roomates make.
~A plant. One of the very few on Camp Bondsteel. Hopefully I don't kill it. It looks pretty and definitely adds to the Fung Shui of my living area.
~My very comfy bed. It's a twin size...which is a big step down from my queen mattress at home. But I've "pimped" it up a bit. 440 Threadcount sheets....a nice down comforter...and the bestest pillow EVAR. Sleep is highly important here.
~My rug. It's a pretty soft golden yellow color. Matches my comforter.
~My plastic-drawer-thingy/nightstand. Next to my bed. It's full of all the junk I don't want lying around messing up my Fung Shui.
~2 Wall-lockers (big wooden wardrobes) and 3 green footlockers. They are dual purpose...used for hanging stuff and also used as walls.
~A big 5 foot tall bookshelf (packed with books, DVDs, snacks and stuff). And my vitamins. I need those so I don't get any weird illnesses. Coughing Soldiers just freak me out.
~And, last but NOT least, my computer desk...where I write this blog, Skype my kids, and try to escape.
So. Those are the basics of my "house."
I might have failed to mention that all of this is crammed into a 9-ish foot by 12-ish foot area. Kinda makes you want to join up and get deployed, doesn't it?
~HUZZAH!~

Just checking in. Hope you are doing well.
My cousin joined the army recently. He went to his assigned base and actually got to live in civilian housing while the barracks were being finished. He got a master bedroom! But don't worry, he's back in the barracks now.
