A Better Person

Posted on June 25, 2008. Filed under: Deep Thoughts, Deployment, Husband |

Obi-Wan and I were sitting outside having dinner last night and the conversation drifted to the fact that neither of us can believe he was gone for a year from our house.  It still amazes both of us that he was gone for that long.  At some point, the conversation turned to how I coped [...]

Death is a part of life

Posted on June 24, 2008. Filed under: Complaints/Gripes/Whines, Deep Thoughts, Mindless drivel |

I hate that phrase.  While watching Army Wives the other night, an “angel” character said that to one of the women on the show who was grieving over the loss of her daughter.  Immediately, I thought of the sarcastic response to that phrase which I believe some comedian or other famous person said years ago [...]

I’ve been tagged … again

Posted on June 18, 2008. Filed under: Mindless drivel |

by Navy CS.  Since I was tagged last year, I’m just going to paste my responses to that tagging here.  I will change one though to respond to the rule about presenting an image of marital discord but that is the only rule I’m following.  I’m not creative enough (at the moment) to come up [...]

Navy Lieutenant refuses IA assignment

Posted on June 18, 2008. Filed under: Current events/news, IA Resources, Iraq | Tags: |

This happened a few months ago and I just happened to see it mentioned on another blog.  I’m not offering my opinion one way or another on this but she had some legitimate arguments for refusing to go … and not the typical “I’m against the war” arguments.”  The type of assignment they were sending her [...]

It’s those random comments …

Posted on June 17, 2008. Filed under: Deployment, Husband, Iraq |

that startle me from Obi-Wan.  Last night, we had crazy bad thunderstorms in the area and at one point, there was a really loud boom.  It woke me up and scared the bejesus out of me.  He put his arm on me and said “it’s okay.”  And then went on to tell me how he [...]

Sex and the City the Movie

Posted on June 16, 2008. Filed under: Mindless drivel |

My friend K and I went and saw Sex and the CIty last night.  Excellent movie.  Makes me want to go on a shopping rampage after seeing all the great fashion they wore in the movie.  I’m not giving anything away here for those that haven’t seen it.  I will say there were some unexpected twists, [...]

Men in Trees canceled

Posted on June 12, 2008. Filed under: Complaints/Gripes/Whines, Mindless drivel |

I really like the show Men in Trees and just found out it was canceled back in May.  I don’t know how I missed the news on that but anyway, I’m bummed.  I thought the show had some great dialogue and I loved the different characters and I’ll miss watching their stories each week.  I [...]

Posted on June 11, 2008. Filed under: Husband, Things that make me feel awesome |

I am pleased to report that date night was successful.  We went to the movies and then dinner afterward as planned.  Date night started out great with about 45 minutes of some good ole’ fashion arcade games at the theater.  We had time to kill before the movie started so we played two games of [...]

An almost bunny incident

Posted on June 10, 2008. Filed under: Dogs, Mindless drivel |

I let the paws out this morning and walked out with them.  I noticed they were immediately focused on something in the pool so I walked over and noticed a little tiny bunny – IN MY POOL.  The paws were chomping at the bit to get to little mister bunny so I had to act [...]

Date night

Posted on June 6, 2008. Filed under: Husband |

Tonight is date night for Obi-Wan and I.  We haven’t had one in a while b/c we’ve been engaged in house projects or we’ve been just plain tired and don’t want to leave the house.  But tonight, we are actually going to the movies and dinner.  The plan is to see the latest Indiana Jones flick and [...]
