Thank God this year is over!

Posted on December 31, 2007. Filed under: Complaints/Gripes/Whines, Holidays |

I’d like to say Happy New Year to everyone out there but I’m not feeling it.  Not that I don’t want everyone to have a great new year, because I do.  I’m just not feeling happy … in fact, I’m pretty cranky right now.  I’ll just say I’m glad this year is over and that I’m glad that Obi-Wan will [...]

Scenes from Rome

Posted on December 28, 2007. Filed under: Husband, Italy, Things that make me feel awesome |

I decided to start posting pictures from our Italy trip of the sites that we visited.  Now that I’ve been back a few weeks, I look back at our trip with a fresh sense of nostalgia.  Italy will always bring back fond memories for both of us from the the places we saw and the people [...]

Merry Christmas

Posted on December 25, 2007. Filed under: Deployment, Holidays, Husband |

Happy Holidays and all that jazz.  I’m somewhat cheerier (if that’s a word, which it probably isn’t) today but I’d still rather have Obi-Wan here.  We talked on the phone earlier so at least I was able to chat for a bit with him.  I’m visiting my parents right now so I’m glad to be able [...]

Is she serious?

Posted on December 22, 2007. Filed under: Current events/news |

I was wondering what to write about today when I was browsing MSNBC looking at various headlines and came upon the following article.  All I can say is “are you kidding me?”  Could she possibly find another way to suck the fun out of Christmas shows?  I’m not going to address everything in the article [...]

Puppy therapy

Posted on December 21, 2007. Filed under: Deployment, Dogs |

Another blogger wrote a sweet post about how she needed some cuddling and decided to cuddle up with her dogs a bit and how that helped her feel a bit better with her DH gone.  I wanted to write my own little blurb on this as well.
I honestly don’t think I could have gotten through [...]

Blah Blah Blah

Posted on December 20, 2007. Filed under: Deployment, Husband, Italy |

I hate being such a Debbie Downer but I’m still struggling to get happy for the holidays.  This morning on the radio, I heard Alicia Keys’ new song “No One” and my mind immediately flashed back to Italy.  We heard that a lot over there on MTV Italy or Europe (whatever channel our hotel subscribed [...]

Dogs and Christmas trees

Posted on December 18, 2007. Filed under: Dogs, Holidays |

Any pet owner knows of certain risks associated with having a Christmas tree in the house.  Certain puppies, for instance, might like to chew on said tree or there is the inevitable puppy smackdown which can lead to a dislodging of the ornaments.  I thought I had become quite smart about my tree by placing it [...]

Lacking Yuletide Cheer

Posted on December 17, 2007. Filed under: Deployment, Holidays, Husband |

The last few days, despite getting more things done in preparation for the holidays, I find my yuletide cheer lacking.  I’m having a really hard time this year getting excited about the holidays.  Obi-Wan’s deployment is to blame, plain and simple.  No matter how stoic I want to be and how “tough Navy wife” I [...]

Christmas tree has arrived

Posted on December 14, 2007. Filed under: Holidays |

Last night I was finally well enough so a friend went with me to get a tree.  I purchased it from a church close to my house.  The tree is a 4-5 Balsam Fur and I’m quite happy with it.  It may not be the perfect tree but it’s perfect for me and my slightly [...]

I’m so behind

Posted on December 12, 2007. Filed under: Holidays |

I just got back to my house from Italy on Sunday and have a nasty cold that I’m fighting right now.  I haven’t been able to do anything since returning home besides going to work, feeding my dogs and laying around.  I’m hoping the end is in sight for this very inconvenient cold b/c I [...]
