This post has absolutely nothing to do with the Navy but I felt like piping in on this latest photo controversy that erupted over the weekend. Honestly, I could care less about Miley or Hannah Montana or any of that b/c I’m not a fan of hers. I don’t have kids so I don’t see what [...]

So I made a new mac and cheese recipe from the local paper last night to accompany some grilled pork chops for dinner and it turned out really good. Obi-Wan and I really enjoyed it and I had a lot leftover b/c I had used a 1/2 box of pasta to make it. I decided [...]

Obi-Wan and I were discussing this morning what’s coming down the pike for us in the next 2-5 years with his job. He’ll be home on shore duty for the next 11 months and then he has to go to school out of state for his next sea job before going to sea again. We also [...]

Obi-Wan and I are just plugging along right now. No reintegration issues to speak of. One thing I’ve noticed about myself though, and I’ve just noticed lately, is that I subconsciously must think I still need to do everything around the house.

After much pontificating on the deeper things in life this past year, I’m really trying to enjoy every day as it comes.

You can’t put off having fun or enjoying particular things until [...]

This weekend, Obi-Wan and I worked in the yard. The lawn desperately needed mowing and our front flower bed (aka the “weed garden” 
needed to be tidied up considerably. The weather Saturday morning was absolutely perfect so after a vigorous workout at the gym (oh the pain), he showed me how to operate the new [...]

Many of you have probably heard of Randy Pausch, the Carnegie-Mellon professor who has terminal pancreatic cancer. He gave his “last lecture” back in September to a packed audience at the university. His words are truly inspiring.
I don’t know if anyone saw this interview with Diane Sawyer last evening but the hour long special is [...]

Whew! This is the third day in a row that Obi-Wan and I woke up at 4:30 am to hit the gym. I’m still doing his workouts and holy crap, they might be killing me. We did shoulders and legs one day, chest and triceps yesterday, and back and biceps today, plus cardio. Now that [...]

Okay all you ladies out there - fess up - you were New Kids On The Block fans back in the late 80’s through early 90’s. I know me and my high school group of friends were. We lived and breathed for NKOTB back in the day. Ahhh - the memories of screaming like wild banchies and worshiping [...]

Eleven weeks ago, I began doing the Body for Life program. I have one more week to go before the 12 week challenge is complete but I’ll continue to stick to the eating habits I’ve adopted as a long-term program. They are manageable and realistic so that isn’t going to be a problem for me. [...]
