H never came back from Iraq

[MichelleLT]

Well, H posted a MySpace blog today about his trip thus far. It's brief and doesn't include nearly everything I'm sure. H sounds like he's having fun though. OW actually got him on a horse trying to learn polo. I've only been trying to get him out riding with me for 7 years! Grrrrrrrrr.

He also bought venison and a bunch of other stuff for their Christmas dinner. I assume he's cooking since she can't really, especially something so involved as it sounded.

H doesn't even mention her name in the blog. Just says "a friend" picked him up etc. I guess they didn't tell her family what's going on yet. Her sister and dad know H is married so I think they'd flip if they knew what was going on. On the plus side, all the lying should add a nice amount of pressure to their "relationship" I suppose.

I called in sick to work today. Although I've been fighting with an ear infection, it was mostly the fact that I couldn't sleep last night. I don't think I got more than a couple hours because I was tossing and turning thinking about the holidays. Plus the fact that I almost broke down crying at work last night when "All I want for Christmas is you" came on. Somehow I don't think I'm getting anything I want for Christmas. It really sucks being lonely for the holidays. Even when H was physically gone for Christmas in Baghdad I got presents and a card and a phone call. I knew H was thinking about me, so it wasn't like this. I'll spend time with my family and my in-laws, but I'm still lonely.
