2 weeks to go!

Hello All:
Well, it is precisely 2 weeks from now I will be at the IAH Airport waiting for David to arrive. This past couple of weeks seemed to be going by pretty quickly.. Glad that it is, since I'm really can't wait to get off this island here.. I really need off of here..
This week has been quite interesting.. Especially last night.. I went to Bingo and won a FABULOUS prize. It was a soft CD holder.. Holds like 5 CD/DVDs.. Yeah.. at least I won something! Went home.. Went to bed after watching alittle bit of CSI that was on the TV. Then all of a sudden, a loud, obnoxious sound woke me up.. One guess people.. .. Guess... It was the fire alarm system. I woke up and said "is that my alarm going off?" LOL.. Sure enough it was the fire alarm.. so I got my nifty robe on, got the keys, K Badge and the most important thing.. my passport and travel order for July. LOL.. I went outside and waited until the Fire Department came by to give us the all clear.. One of the other guys waiting outside with me said that this had happened like a couple of weeks ago (around 7 or 8p.m.) and the F.D. said that it was a wiring issue in the Mechanical room.. Did I mention that this happened this morning at 1230a.m.??? So.. they gave the all clear around 1245a.m... Got back into bed. couldn't go back to sleep.. (btw, the fire alarm bell is on my wall (in the hallway) so of course the ringing was pretty loud in my room).. so I stayed up till like 1a.m. and watched some TV (nothing was on) so I when I was trying to fall a sleep, I thought about what I should have brought with me if this happens again (fire drill).. I should have gotten my wallet and everything else that is important.. neways.. I went back to bed and at 1:14a.m. it happened again. The fire alarm goes off again. So I got my robe back on, got my K Badge, Keys, Passport with Travel Orders and my PDA! =) Figured that I would bring my PDA this time, since I have lots of important numbers in there.. So.. I went outside and no one was out there till like 2 minutes later.. Fire Department was out there and they gave us the all clear.. seemed like the same thing happened as it did earlier (wiring issue).. So I went back inside and just sat there and waited for the fire alarm to go off again.. It didn't.. I was happy but had a hard time falling back a sleep.. So here I am.. Dazed.. I'm SOOO tired.. I'm gonna crash early tonight.. I wish I could go to sleep right now.. but.. yeah figured that the guys here wouldn't really like it if I just crashed on my desk.. Neways.... it was an eventful night..
Well.. I'm sure I got other stuff to talk about.. but I really can't think straight right now.. cause I'm so sleepy.. so.. hope everyone has a great weekend.. I'll post more once I get some more sleep... *yawns*
