Link This link is to skippy's list of things they can no longer do in the Army....I cracked up....especially #145 and 146 I would add the following. (note: only some are personal...) Dont' use a 10 guage needle just because someone irriated you. Don't tap the needle on the sink to dull the tip for drunk patients. Don't ever get caught with a screwdriver in your hand after the 's desk spontaniously fell apart.... Don't get caught pissing on Duty. (stairs with soldier's qu...

I hope that I am not losing my mind. Yesterday I got FIVE boxes in the mail. They were all boxes that I have mailed to my husband over the last month....... Why, may you ask, did they get sent back? Simple. I put the WRONG ZIP CODE on them. I used the zip from when I was in Bonsia in 99. I didn't think I even remembered that and now it turns out that subconciously, I did. The worst part? not the $75 in shipping that went down the tubes, but the fact that birthday presents and Hal...

I have noticed that I blog in spurts. I will have periods of motivation and then spells of apathy. I'm trying to force my self to get up and get out but as all who have been pregnant know, the last few weeks just seems to drag by. So please humor my strange posts.....I should probablly just email you, but I think it will be a blog since I have very little to talk about.....maybe this will get my thoughts flowing... LadyCleve Link and I realized that our husbands were/are in the same...

In a recent article, I was blabbering on and on.....maybe even bragging a bit about how I'm doing really well this pregnancy. See link... Link Anyway, so maybe I incured some bad karma or I am just at that point, but now...sigh. Now, I feel pregnant. Big, huge, slow, tired and unweildy pregnant. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut just a little longer and I could have avoided jinxing myself. I only have a few weeks to go, but I am soooo ready to have this kid. I have been sta...

So this is a test....After seeing everyone else's pictures, I wanted to see if I could post photos on my blog.....I'll have to find a good place to store them....I bet this link won't last long..... I am an avid scrapbooker and this is just one of my many pages.....I love my son's intensity when he is concentrating...The metal embelishment reads, "May you never lose your sense of wonder."

I was inspired by a recent article....see link below. Link Is it right for gay people to be gay? That *is* their right. No one should be able to beat them, kill them, harm them, harass them, force them to accept unlawly legislation that makes them heterosexual due to someone else being intolerant of them, or in some other way target them based on their sexuality. They have their individual right to be gay, as human beings. Christianity's viewpoint on homosexuality. That is *their...

I admit that this is a total ripoff of several other posts, but I loved it too much not to add it to my blog.....so kudos to Historyishere and Texas Wahine for pointing out the obvious...... I AM 78% EVIL GENIUS! I am pure evil. I lie awake at night devising schemes of world domination, and I will not rest until all living souls bend to my will. Take the EVIL GENIUS test at Fuali.com And just how evil are you?

So, I am not superwoman by any means, but I find it wonderful that I have only about 3 weeks to go and I am feeling so capable. My last pregnancy was miserable. I believed everything I heard about what pregnant women could do. I bought into the sterotypical idea that to be pregnant was to be incapable of touching your toes or lifting more than 5 lbs. I followed the Army profile and didn't lay on my back or do any ab exersizes. The result? I was fat (60+ lbs) from going from two workou...

A little background to start off..... This last weekend, I decided to go out and enjoy myself before I have another child to bring along. My friends and I are avid (read hopelessly addicted) scrapbookers. We stayed up all night on Friday, eating chocolote and scrapping. It was lots of fun, mildly productive and a good way to spend a Friday without my husband. I think I made it home by 0230... This really has nothing to do with the article....I just had fun and figured I would throw i...

Not that I am inpatient or anything, but I would just like to announce to the world at large...... 27 days left!!!!!!! I only have 27 days left of this pregnancy....and coincidentally (or not) about-ish that much time till I see my husband again! So I have twice the reason to be happy!!!!!!

For those who may have read my last blog...you may think that my child is some sort of heathen monster....or a typical two year old. I suppose it depends on whether you have kids of your own. But just as he surprises me with his obstinance and trouble-making abilities....he also surprises me with the opposite. I had to drag him with me to my ob apt today....and he was an angel. He flirted with the nurses and played happily and quietly for the entire wait (which being DACH-is usually pre...

So after a very long and tiring day, I am resting on the couch. My almost 2 1/2 year old son is playing happily with his toys, which I am so grateful for. I just need 15 min to rest before I make dinner......At this point, I have no idea what I am in for. ***minor segue here....I was a normal child. I would like to think that I was no more destructive, violent, hyper, obnoxious at any age than other kids. I don't remember being a brat, so therefore I would hope that I was not. However...

There have been several articles written that made me start thinking about what defines poverty, poor etc. To give credit where it is due, check out Dharmagirl and Little_whips' articles. Link Link When I was a kid, I thought I was poor. We lived in, no kidding, a tar-paper shack. I was embarassed by my home and rarely brought anyone to my house unless I was really good friends with them. I din't have many of the things that I wanted. My parents were in a messy divorce and my mo...

Close your eyes and imagine a white man stepping up to a podium and saying the following statement.... "Black voters are 'afraid' of electronic voting machines. They are not tech-savy and will be intimidated by touch screen voting systems and therefore be less likely to vote." Would you be appalled? Angry that someone could make such a negative generalized statement? What would you think of a person who could say that? I heard that statement on Mike Gallagher's show this morning. C...
