My sister sent me a couple funny links to Santa-related blog posts. A good laugh. You can see them too: here and here. I got to thinking (uh oh) about those guys sitting in those chairs for hours on end at the mall. Children from all walks of life sitting on their laps. In various … Read more
Okay, now that I’ve gotten all my political blogging out of the way (see yesterday’s), I can go back to my usual housewife/Mom/Air Force wife-type posts, tee hee. Today I made a trip to Target to get something for my sister’s birthday (I know you’re reading this, Margaret!) I hadn’t been to Target since before … Read more
C-130 landing at Ramstein AB, Germany for some R&R during a Bosnia deployment, Jan. 1, 1998. Dave was deployed to Bosnia for an overlapping period of time, but we were in separate locations. First of all, Happy Veteran’s Day! To my fellow Veterans out there, thanks for reading my blog and for serving our great … Read more
I am a Florida voter. (But I wasn’t a Florida voter in 2000 during the Bush-Gore debacle). I’ve received questions along the lines of “How are you a Florida voter? You were living in North Carolina…now you live in Nebraska. Shouldn’t you be voting in Nebraska now?” So I’ll point you here to discuss the … Read more
This is more of a cry for assistance than anything else. I still don’t trust that my 6-year-old is brushing his teeth on his own well enough. I remember getting some serious lessons in 2nd grade (remember those pink-colored plaque tablets?) Meanwhile, Timmy wants nothing to do with my help when he’s brushing his teeth … Read more
First of all, I realize that I’m part of a very small American population. I’m an (almost) stay-at-home Mom who likes airplanes. And the things I’ve had to learn about American airpower are pretty nit-noid. An F-22 brings a different capability to the fight than an F-16, F-18 or F-35. I scanned this picture from … Read more
Dave came across the film Biloxi Blues this evening on Encore when he was surfing channels. This has to be one of my favorite movies! Matthew Broderick in the 80s was the cutest thing in the world. He’s still pretty cute now — he was a hoot in The Producers and I wish wish wish … Read more
This caught my attention tonight…I randomly came across this blog when searching for some information about how the Republican National Committee chooses how many delegates get sent from each state (it isn’t as cut and dried as the Electoral College). Statistics fascinate me — sure, I’ve been exposed to enough statistics in my work and … Read more
Dave is coming up with a sign for one of his model railroad businesses and wanted something 70s-looking. When I was looking for some vintage ads, I happened across this one. You’d NEVER see such ads today. That’s all I have to say ’bout that…
Dave pointed this out tonight. Ugh!
