Death is a part of life

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

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 [...]

Sex and the City the Movie

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

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 [...]

An almost bunny incident

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 [...]

Moms and minivans

I can’t help myself today.  I have a gripe and I have to vent it.  I’m driving to work this morning on a highway.  Everyone is doing at least 65 mph … except crazy lady soccer mom minivan driver (I can call her that b/c she had soccer stickers all over her vehicle).  She could [...]

Still around

I’m still around.  I haven’t had anything really noteworthy to blog about lately.  No Navy angst, no crazy life events.  We’ve just been rolling along for the last month or so.  Obi-Wan is busy with man projects right now.  He is building us an outdoor kitchen area off of our deck in the backyard.  It [...]

Favorite chair

Before Obi-Wan left for the sandbox, he always sat in his favorite chair, a brown leather recliner.  He almost never sat anywhere else in that room.  Since he’s been back, he’s been sitting in a different chair.  While we were watching tv last night, it hit him that he hasn’t sat in that chair since [...]

Miley Cyrus

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 [...]

Holy Crap - NKOTB Reunites!

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 [...]
