Another birthday in Afghanistan...

Today was one of my paralegal's birthday.  His mom sent him a muffin, because apparently he is crazy and doesn't like cake (no offense meant to crazy people).  I had some cupcakes that my mom sent for my birthday, and we both had candles.  So, we decided to have a little blowing out the candles celebration, as I forgot to blow out candles on my birthday.  He may have went a little overboard with the amount of candles that he put on his muffin.  I opted for just one.

I got 2 birthday packages today.  One from my husband and one from Mike and Jody.  I immediately added the cards to my birthday card corner.  I finally got my Harry Potter movies today, so all in all it was a pretty good day on the mail front.

It wasn't very good weather today.  It was cooler than usual, and unfortunately that usually means that it will be pretty dusty.  I don't really understand it, but the weather girl that briefs every morning (we at an aviation unit have our own weather girl) said something about that cooler wind is denser so it picks up the dust better.  So it's a trade off.  I can go outside without immediately dripping in sweat, but I get covered in dirt.  Neither are really optimal conditions.

Here are some pictures....

Blowing out the candle celebration.  I wasn't ready....

That's much better
