Weekend Update
NavyGuy and I reveled in our child-less-ness this weekend, and pretty much just did what our hearts desired from Saturday morning til Sunday night. We Starbucks’ed on Saturday morning, lounged around the house catching up on a few tv shows from the week, then headed to town to visit Target, go out to dinner, and […]
Reader Recipe Giveaway!
I’m in a dinner/cooking/meal rut. In an effort to save money and be healthier, NavyGuy and I are trying to eat more weeknight dinners at home. We have a decent system established wherein I do the cooking (usually with his supervision just to be safe), and then he does all the dishes and clean-up (sans […]

Cheers and Jeers – State of the Union Edition
Cheers… to President Obama giving teachers a shout-out in the State of the Union speech. Now it’s time for words to give way to action. Cheers… to President Obama giving the U.S. military a shout-out in the State of the Union speech. I’m biased. (And I don’t care.) Jeers… to Speaker of the House John […]
Movie Questions
UPDATE: This post was written last night, prior to the Oscar nominations announcement. For TWP, who asked, “Where are the witty one sentence movie comments? I miss them greatly. Did you like The Kids are Alright? We loved it! Also how was the Kings Speech…I’ve been wondering if it’s worth a viewing.” 1. The King’s […]
Scrapbook Questions
YellowBunnies (an old and dear friend), offered these questions in the comments section a few weeks back. Hopefully she didn’t think I had forgotten about her! Here’s the crafty questions she posed: I have a box in a closet in a spare room labeled “scrapbook” and every time I have a ticket stub or maybe […]
Project Life – Week 3
Here are the photos from this past week. I’ve been sending the photos to Walgreens each week to be printed, which runs about $1.50 to get seven pictures printed. It would be cheaper if I had them shipped to me, but I’m way too impatient for that, so I opt for the “pick-up-in-store” game and […]
MilSpouse Friday Fill-In #27
Another week, another set of questions! Remember to check out Wife of a Sailor if you’d like to join in 🙂 1. What do you usually want to know about someone when meeting them for the first time? Where they grew up, if/where they went to college, what they studied, and whether or not they […]
Closet Cleanup
Since NavyGuy returned from deployment, our bedroom closet has steadily gone downhill. I’m not blaming him entirely; thought he’s responsible for some of it, it’s also a question of space, hangars, and a poor layout of shelves. And then there’s also this little situation… Unacceptable. And irritating as all get out. But again, not entirely […]
