Moshing and boneheads
Obi-Wan and I went to see Seether in concert last night at the Norva in Norfolk. It’s a great place to see a concert but it’s general admission so anything goes on the floor. It was our first time seeing a concert there so we weren’t too sure what to expect of the crowd given [...]

Obi-Wan got his orders today with dates for things happening next year. Starting in March, life will once again be hectic. First he goes to school 3 hours from us for over a month and then comes back and then in May, reports to Newport, RI for school for another 6 months. YUCK! I’ve been [...]

I am SUPER EXCITED. I found out randomly last week that AC/DC, one of the best rock bands EVER is going on tour to promote their new cd Black Ice coming out soon. I immediately signed up for their fan club like a big old goober and got tickets through their special fan club access this [...]

This post has nothing to do with the military – be forewarned. Anyhoo, I’m on the Schick Quattro for Women website (the reason is a completely nonsense story I’m not getting into here) and I see this link at the top of the page. “Joy of Shaving” – hmmmmm – really? Shaving a joy? I don’t [...]

So lately, the paws have been trying to worm their way back into our bed. If you recall, months ago, we finally trained them to stay out of our bed at night and it’s been working well. However, for the last few weeks, Chocolate Dog has been sneaking into bed with us after we go to sleep. [...]

After reading a bunch of other blogs I decided to at least write the “where I was” story of 9/11. If nothing else, today forces us to remember where we were, both physically and mentally so that we never forget that feeling.
I’ll never forget that morning. I had to drive to the Ft. Meade Army Base [...]
A little humor
I’m not going to post today about 9/11 – it’s being done everywhere else and there really isn’t anything I can say. I remember it and will keep that day in my memory forever.
So, in order to lighten things up a bit on this most serious day, here’s a little humor (or at least it [...]
Something else to make us cry
On the way to work, I heard a snippet of Carrie Underwood’s song “Just a Dream.” Milspouses be forewarned. Don’t listen because it will make you cry – whether or not your spouse is deployed. I love her music and her voice so I’m not all against her or anything. This is just some practical [...]

SpouseBUZZ Live was awesome. I was overwhelmed to say the least and met some cool people today. I was hesitant to go b/c contrary to what my friends know about me, I’m not the most outgoing person in new social settings. But I went and I’m so glad I did. Butterfly Wife came down and [...]
