Today I’m at the commissary with my friend Paul. He’s to blame for things like why I now have a GPS and this addiction to the Pioneer Woman’s website! (Military 101: The commissary is the grocery store on the military base. By regulation, it provides groceries to authorized buyers at cost + 5%.) Anyway, we’re … Read more
Bring Back Dinner <– Click the link to see more! This isn’t meant to specifically pick on KFC. I don’t mind the occasional (read: 1-2 times per year) fried chicken dinner from a no-kidding friend chicken establishment. (But I’d prefer to go here.) I’ve been seeing KFC’s TV ads about how they can help you … Read more
Greetings from South Carolina! You’ll be pleased to know that my blog yesterday about my Air Force life generated some interest from HQ Air Force and HQ Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC). I have a background statistics generator (http://www.statcounter.com/, it’s pretty cool!) collecting info about which domains are checking out my blog. No, I’m not … Read more
I get an e-mail that looks like this every night. Is it Spam? (How many Nigerian millionaires ARE there who want to share their inheritances with me????”) No no no…not spam at all. These are cool! This is my friend Maryann’s daily photo album and daily message. In fact, if you linked all these together…you’d … Read more
The crisis seems to be averted for now. “Which crisis? A sick son or a sick computer?” Oh yeah — both! Jake had a late lunch which seemed to have the same effect as watering a wilted houseplant. He perked right up and enjoyed an afternoon playdate and then even went to his soccer game … Read more
…it took till nearly midnight to convince my laptop that YES I wanted the hard drive formatted! It isn’t as easy as you might think, and I don’t have the wherewithal to go into it here, so I won’t! I’ll just refer you here, which is one of the many geeky sites I had to … Read more
As I’m writing this on my upstairs desktop, that kitchen laptop so proudly pictured here is in the middle of a re-format/re-installation. Sniff sniff…like I have time for this. Of course, here I am blogging to all of you.
Yeah. The ones I BAKE. You don’t know how badly I want to try the cinnamon roll recipe featured here: http://www.thepioneerwomancooks.com/2007/06/cinammon_rolls_.html But that is NOT what the kids mean. THIS is what they mean: I was at Target today and was looking for the Pillsbury ones, but alas, they were ALL sold out. Even the … Read more
I came downstairs this morning to my kitchen laptop having all these red icons in the lower right corner. You know, down there with the clock. There’s this Windows Security Alert that’s red, McAfee antivirus in red, an AOL Active Security Monitor that’s blinking red……so I guess there’s a problem, huh? Upon further investigation, I … Read more
So…who should be our victim this year? A better question probably is: Which of these diet programs have the Vollmer already attempted??? You’d be surprised! Since we’re not in a financial position to pay for those “We supply the food” programs, I guess LA Weight Loss, Nutrisystem and Jenny Craig are out. Did anyone else … Read more
