Apparently, We’ve Been Living Lavishly And Didn’t Even Know It…
This gem has been making its way around the interwebz today, despite being about 6 weeks old. I’ve never been opposed to reading the Huffington Post (along with a slew of other news sources, national...

It’s Beginning…
Yesterday, E and I took S lunch at work. Usually, when we go through the gate, it’s to see 3 or 4 civilian gate guards. Occasionally there will be an MP (military police) checking IDs at the gate, as...

It’s MARCH
I just realized: It’s March. And it is just as cold now as it was in February. And probably January. And December. It’s just as wet, and things are just as dead. The sun is just as absent and the...

The Vehicle Predicament
We’re considering buying a new [bigger] vehicle. When we bought our Prius, I was pregnant with E; we thought the Prius would give us the much needed space we needed to haul around baby gear, and for...

My Husband’s Inbox
Is still devoid of the email for which we are desperately waiting. I can sum this feeling up with one sound: “Ugh.”

Espresso Group
Last night’s coffee was hosted by the battalion commander’s wife. She had just as miserable a turn out as I did last month, and no one knows why. It’s odd that we’ve all had fairly good RSVP numbers,...

Untitled
I have things to update, I just don’t feel like it right now. The Army? Still nothing. The child? She’s awesome. The dogs? Well, they’ve been a little annoying as of late, but I still love them. The...

It Finally Happened
I complained enough that we finally have the final assignment list from branch! The universe has finally come to my aid. Anyway, so this is how it works. They sent S (and all of the other officers...

I Make a Lot of Chicken Parmesan
My mom’s chicken parmesan recipe (which is really supposed to be for veal, but who’s really that picky?) is my go-to recipe when I need to bring a dinner to a family–you know, new baby, wife in the...

Even Doughnuts Are Ruined By Washington
Well, maybe ruined is too strong a word. Anyone who has ever had a hot Krispy Kreme doughnut knows there is nothing else like it. They’re so hot, they burn one’s fingers, but so tasty, one doesn’t...

You’re Too Funny
I might just be the worst blogger, ever. There is a reason for that, and I might get around to explaining it soon. Or ever. Anyway, I was recently reminded of one of the most ridiculous experiences of...

“In the Coming Weeks”
That’s when we should know about the next step (or standstill) in our Army future. S hopes that phrase means we should know by the end of April/beginning of May. I figure we should know something by...

Apparently…
It hasn’t been “the coming weeks,” yet. But it has been one week. And I, personally, think that that is long enough to fall into “coming weeks,” and they should put me out of my misery, already. I...

It Didn’t Work
Remember when I bemoaned the fact that we hadn’t gotten “the list” from HRC (human resources command) and the next morning, S was calling me to tell me the list was in? It was beautiful. Well, I was...

Friends in Horrible Places
E and I went for a walk around the neighborhood this afternoon while S mowed the lawn (well, as much as he could before it started raining). We like to go for walks when it’s warm and dry enough, and...

Holy Cuteness, Costco
E and I made a trip to Costco this afternoon, and they had so many cute clothes for summer! I couldn’t resist getting her a few things, and there were several more that I would have loved to have...

Who ARE You People?: Or, The People of the Commissary
E and I went on our big commissary shop this afternoon. We generally do one at the beginning of the pay period where I buy all of the things I really don’t want to have to shop for every couple of...

Holy Fundraiser, Batman
S mentioned a few days ago that the company was having a “pie throwing” fundraiser to raise money for the FRG (family readiness group–for those of you who don’t know, the FRG is made up of the families...

So… This happened.
Yeah. That’s an old picture. Due date is 2 days after E’s birthday, which is kind of stressing me out. I don’t want her birthday overshadowed, so I am hoping I go late–get the November baby I was...

A Follow-Up
So, earlier, I announced something important. And, as I have mentioned a time or two (or six), we’re awaiting word from above about S’s Army future. In case you were wondering: No. Nothing. They hate...
