I recently discovered Wife of a Sailor while wandering through the Blogosphere looking for….well I can’t remember what. She has helped bring together dozens and dozens of other military spouse bloggers. I had sent “Wifey” a note a few weeks ago expressing my appreciation for this project she does: “MilSpouse Friday Fill-in“. It’s been fun … Read more
I will admit I don’t play the game (yet), but this is an AMAZING cake! Enjoy! Let me know when you see a playable Bejeweled Blitz cake!
Hopefully everyone had an enjoyable Valentine’s Day? I did — Dave sent me on a scavenger hunt around the house finding one clue after another. The clues were tied into some pretty cryptic things about our marriage, such as “When we were stationed in Louisiana we learned to put this on all our food” and … Read more
Happy Valentine’s Day friends! We enjoyed a special Valentine’s Day-themed Build and Grow project at Lowe’s last Saturday! My boys awakened this morning and were greeted with these little gifts for Valentine’s Day: They had asked for them for Christmas, but I’m glad we waited till now, I think that Valentine Puppy sure is cute! … Read more
Not a complete fail, but a “mostly” fail. Today I officially gave up on the CrashPlan 30 Day free trial to send files to “the cloud”: the CrashPlan Central offsite servers. I had a 30 day free trial to try this out, and after 27 days, I had only uploaded 60% of the files. I … Read more
The reason I was inspired to post about that 1957 Air Force wife book last week was because I was thinking about getting some “calling cards” of my own.

Our poor little Howie tore his other rear CCL this past weekend. Nearly 2 years after he ruptured the left one. We don’t know how he did it this time, we came home from a bunch of errands Friday night and Howie wasn’t putting weight on his right rear leg. He might have been chasing … Read more
I’d like to thank the kind young Marine pilot candidate for taking this nice picture. I gave him my 3 beer coupons in return. Like the bling? They were handing out Mardi Gras beads near one of the water stations. Today was the 15K race I’d mentioned last month. I was feeling pretty discouraged going … Read more
(Click on the pictures to see closeups of the text in the pictures). Several years ago I received this book from my father-in-law. He got it from a friend who sells antiques. Dad thought I’d be intrigued by it, and gave it to me as a tongue-in-cheek gift. I read the book the same weekend … Read more
“I was a Geek Pinup Girl!” Who out there has seen the recent Jenny Craig ads? My husband saw one of them this past weekend — I think it was a “targeted” online ad on a health website — and he couldn’t believe it was Carrie Fisher! We didn’t recognize her! Seriously. Then this morning … Read more
