Law & Order and Early Bedtimes

Tony has been gone now for a week.  He returns in 2 weeks - so here is what this means…

For 2 more weeks I can go to bed as early as I want and not feel bad whatsoever.  This doesn't happen most nights when Tony is here because he gets back from work at 7:30-8:00...soooo if I want any quality time with my husband, 8:30pm bedtime doesn't look too promising.

The next most exciting thing for me is that I can watch as much Law & Order as I want.  This is Tony's least favorite TV show.  So much that he refuses to watch it.  Similar to me refusing to watch most of his stand-up comedy shows that he likes, but worse.  I've always been a fan of L&O, along with McGyver, Renegade, and Quantum Leap.  My brother would understand.

As much as I enjoy these two things -  I will be more than happy to have him home again ;)

On my way home from work I called a friend on island and she informed me that her husband was being deployed to Afghanistan in April for 6 months.  My heart ached for her.  I realized I have never been through a deployment with Tony (he's been on 3) and I hope I never have too.  I won't complain about 3 weeks or a month here and there….

Here is a picture of my co-workers out for brunch on Saturday morning.  These ladies are awesome - and have helped my whole transition to Okinawa
