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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]
