Last night sucked. It was the worst night I’ve had in a long time. I was talking with a girlfriend of mine, and my lower back was in some major pain. Muscles. Hips. Spine. It all hurt. I felt like everything was about to implode at any moment. By the time I got off the…
No joke! Have you seen those super cute bento lunches? Ever wanted to make them? You can. And you should! It’s a fun way to make lunch for your kiddos, and when lunch is fun you’re more successful in introducing new foods to them. *wink wink* Bonus note: chances are you already have some basic…
So. Once upon a time… it was time for me to get a new pair of glasses. I also know when it’s time because I start getting migraines that scrape across my eyes, over the fronts and sides of my head, and shoot down my neck. Meds help, of course, but the only true fix…
I’m not a gym-goer. I never really have been. Years ago, when I was first married to my husband and he was stationed at Camp Lejeune, I worked in a gym. And while I was there I went ahead and worked out. I’ve also worked at a Curves before. Again, working out since I was…
NOT another ‘photo challenge’. I’m not knocking them, I’ve joined in quite a few of them and even made it all the way through a couple. But if never fails, there’s always a day I forget, fall behind, play catch-up, or lose interest. So I decided to start something of my own. You can start…
during deployment my husband was able to take a college course, during which he wrote a narrative essay. Today is our 13th anniversary, but I’m having PRK surgery, so my fabulous husband is my special guest writer. Here’s his story that happened just before ‘us’. My Belief in Fate I was on top of the…
“If the Corps wanted you to have a wife, you’d be issued one!!” Sometimes it really feels that way. It’s not easy, always, being married in the Corps. It’s no secret there’s a high divorce rate in the military. And, like in any marriage, staying strong, close, faithful, and having the ability to evolve together…
so… my column has been cancelled. The first thing I’d like to say is THANK YOU to everyone who supported me and were regular readers. those who know me know i’m not really a whiner/martyr/cry baby, but I feel like venting a bit so I’m going to… because I can dammit. And honestly I’m a…
I’m trying to envision my life without you. It’s not easy. We’ve been together a really, REALLY, long time. Since what… preschool? Gosh…. to think back all that way. Remember my first ‘best friend’? Andrew. I often wonder what happened to him, and where his life took him. Preschool…. where I got stung in the…
so I’m guessing all of my faithful reading are wanting to know about the events of homecoming day. You got it! (sorry it’s taken me so long, but I have to admit it’s been great detaching from the computer and phone this past week) So, a week ago today my husband came home after 239…
