Thanks to the 13 respondents who bravely took my Bikini Line Hair Removal poll. An overwhelming majority (5 out of 13!) shave. Lucky you! The rest of the responses had an even spread between plucking and waxing. PS: See that razor up there? That’s the Gilette Sensor Excel for Women, my favorite since I was … Read more
I’m sure that’s what Dave’s going to be calling me for the next few days. First of all, I want to share this hilarious blog entry that Dave showed me. I’ve felt this mother’s pain, hm, EIGHT times and counting! And we’ll be going through it again in June in Strasburg, PA. Anyway… I GOT … Read more
I don’t consider myself an extremely proud person. I’m proud of my boys, my husband, even my well-behaved puppy dog, but I don’t often get too proud of myself. A couple weeks ago, I know, I was proud of my clean house (which isn’t that clean anymore)! Here’s something else I’m pretty proud of: Maryann’s … Read more
Nothing says Mother’s Day like a good old “Beer Butt Chicken”! Dave kindly offered to cook dinner for the family tonight. He wanted to make something nice, so he asked me what was on hand in the Vollmer kitchen. The only good meat that was defrosted (i.e., not hot dogs or 1/2 a package of … Read more
Enjoy some photos of Maryann’s Surprise Birthday Party!
From 2008 05 06 Fl… For Mother’s Day, I thought I’d share this clip about a fellow Air Force “Major Mom” and her family featured on Saturday’s CBS “The Early Show”. Dave and I watched this together yesterday. I’m being considered for a deployment to Al Udeid, Qatar in 2009 (don’t fret, this is a … Read more
We signed a contract Monday night. We’ll close on the North Carolina house on 21 July, and Dave is flying out to Omaha on 19 May to investigate military housing/rental options for us and perhaps get us into a lease ahead of time, which would be great so we could have an address with which … Read more
Grey’s Anatomy is my favorite show. Now it’s going to have to struggle to keep my loyalty. Let’s start here. I was very very shocked to see them put one of the gay lovers in a no-kidding Army uniform, complete with 2nd Infantry Division unit patch and combat patch (by the way, since there’s a … Read more
The latest laptop trauma: I believe the fan has stopped working. Our weather station receiver that feeds the outdoor weather to our websites also has a local thermometer and while it used to read the ambient temperature pretty well next to my laptop, it’s now reading the mid-80s consistently. Maybe that’s why it arbitrarily reboots … Read more
Okay, this had come up some time ago, but I’m just now getting around to addressing it. I received a lot of crap regarding my Swimsuit Identity Crisis blog posting. “Why would you want a skirted swimsuit?” “You don’t need to wear something like that.”, etc. But let’s get to the bottom line. I’m lazy. … Read more
