Fall tv is back in action
My DVR was practically burning up this week recording all the new shows I wanted to catch that premiered. I finally got to catch up on everything Saturday night so I sat back with a cosmopolitan and enjoyed. Things I recorded and watched were: The Big Bang Theory, LA Ink, The Office, Big Shots, Mad [...]

There is a hilarious post over at SpouseBUZZ about this very topic. Rather than leave a lengthy comment, I’m doing my own post here. I actually have two different things to talk about on this post with regard to the commissary so I’ll start off with my comment to the SpouseBUZZ discussion.
First, in our house, [...]
Nickname for the DH
After reading an excellent post on SpouseBUZZ this morning about nicknames for your spouse, I got to thinking maybe I should nickname the DH something besides DH. Many people already refer to their spouses with that and I think I’d like something different. So, after speaking to the DH and getting his consent, he will now be referred [...]

She Who Waits tagged me following her own tagging from The Lemon Stand and what I need to do now is reveal 7 things about myself that most people don’t know about me. Many of those who do know me won’t necessarily be surprised by this but for those that don’t, here we go.
1. In [...]
Communication during deployment
The DH and I have had several conversations about how communication with each other during deployment is different. I don’t mean the methods themselves for staying in touch but the actual depth and substance of what we are communicating to each other. When we talk now, some of our conversations are great, we are really [...]

Is anyone watching this season of The Bachelor? I have not usually watched this show in the past because I can’t stand how silly and ridiculous most of the women behave and conduct themselves. However, I broke tradition last season and watched it. It was a guilty pleasure of mine. But who could resist Lt. [...]

A co-worker forwarded this story to me this morning that was on Good Morning America. It makes me well up thinking about it. I really admire this man’s courage. It makes me unbelievably sad that his family has to watch him go through this and eventually not have him around anymore. And his story just [...]

Tonight I watched something on television that I normally wouldn’t watch. I watched Alive Day Memories: Home From Iraq, the HBO special that James Gandolfini from The Sopranos produced. I have censored myself from watching too much war anything, whether it was news, documentaries, etc. I can’t watch that stuff without being an emotional mess and [...]

I just saw this quote tonight in an email and I have no idea who the author is but I like the quote. I think it’s a good quote for military spouses and families to keep in mind given the challenges we face. To me, it’s about embracing now, even though my DH is thousands [...]
