Technology....is Wonderful! :)
This morning I got on Yahoo messenger and hooked up to my dad's webcam . I got to see and talk to him live from Afghanstan. He gave me a tour of his living quarters, which according to him is "very nice" although it is only 30X20! I guess it beats a 20 man tent! It really is amazing that I can see him through a computer with him being so far away! Gotta love technology!

Funny News Story!
I like this story because 1.) Obviously, it's about Netjets and 2.) Mary Esther, FL is VERY close to where I grew up! :)
Jennifer Lopez hit with $5M lawsuit over dog assault

A flight attendant claims Jennifer Lopez's guard dog chomped her leg on a plane trip two years ago, and now she wants to take a $5 million bite out of the singer's pocketbook.
Lisa Wilson, 40, filed a suit in Brooklyn Federal Court Thursday, alleging the attack caused her to fall and suffer back injuries that prevent her from working anymore.
The dog-bites-woman tale began July, 3, 2006, when NetJets, a private airline company, assigned Wilson to work a flight taking J.Lo to Burbank Airport in California, the suit says.
Wilson says Lopez boarded a Gulfstream IV jet at Republic Airport in Farmingdale, L.I., with Floyd, a German shepherd described in the manifest as "a well-behaved guard dog."
Just in case, Wilson, of Mary Esther, Fla., says in the court papers, Lopez gave her some instructions on how to act around Floyd.
But the suit alleges that 90 minutes into the flight, Wilson walked past Floyd, and he responded by "attacking her and biting her pant leg."
In an attempt to get away, Wilson says she "twisted and fell," injuring her lower back so badly she had to undergo surgery last year and no longer can work - "at great economic loss."
The suit contends Lopez, who has an estate on Long Island with hubby Marc Anthony and their twins, is "absolutely liable for all injuries" because she "should have known the dog had vicious propensities" and kept it muzzled and leashed.
Wilson also is seeking damages from Lopez's company Nuyorican Productions, based in Los Angeles.
Wilson couldn't be reached, but her lawyer, William Cafaro, said his client wasn't out to capitalize on J.Lo's celebrity and had made attempts to settle the case that were ignored.
Lopez's publicist didn't return a call for comment, and an employee at Nuyorican said only, "We are not obligated" to talk about the suit.

Two Things
1. I am really excited for October 3rd! Myself and a group of my friends are taking an overnight road trip to Cleveland to go to the NKOTB concert! Yes, we are all in our late 20's; but we are all very "pumped up" to see the New Kids again! :) I really need to find something fun to wear! Unfortunately for me, Mom said, we didn't save any of my fan gear from back in the day!
2. Why is it so hard to find cotton nightgowns that zip or button all the way up? Maybe because people don't wear them anymore, but I am on a mission. I cannot sleep in shorts or pants, hence why I need a nightgown. My normal t-shirt/cami and underwear are not going to work for my post surgery! Keep your eyes open for me! If you see something that will work, please let me know! :) I feel like I have looked everywhere!
