You’ve got to be kidding me.

I should really stay up and write my health/fitness/food/wellness post that’s been rolling around in my mind for the last several days. Especially because Im all fired up right now. Get this….
I bought a box of angel food cake mix. Despite my adherence to making things from scratch I do buy cake mixes….(but I don’t [...]


Nothing really

8th November 2009 | 4 Comments

I’m feeling sort of restless…..kind of like I wish I could just get outta dodge. Im not sure if its the time of year or just the “3 year military itch” (even though we’ve been here 4) – it just seems like its time to move. Oh hey- I didn’t tell you, we got official [...]


Freaking the Freak Out

23rd June 2009 | 3 Comments

Wheeew….where do I start? Holy shit. (Katie- you’re going to love this one). We all remember my thirtieth birthday right? And then it was determined that the whole pinworm thing was a false alarm- I had gotten the Rx filled but never gave it to Nathan and never really thought twice about it again.
So, can you [...]


I always said when I got a new car, I’d keep it clean.

22nd June 2009 | 3 Comments

Clearly I made that statement LONG before I had kids. Katie has some hillarious diaper bag dilemmas, which spawned this entry.
Last fall when I outgrew the Capa and got the Harrier, PC reminded me what a nice car I now drove and encouraged me to keep it cleaner than the trashed out Capa. And he [...]


Into Battle

So…..having a little trouble with the Gap right now. I ordered a whole mess of stuff- most of it was to be returned. If you use one of the pre-paid return labels they deduct $6 from your refund which is a better (cheaper) option than paying the shipping myself. So I asked them to [...]

Its Not Exactly How I Envisioned my Birthday Ending

31st March 2009 | 9 Comments

**Update: False alarm. No worms. Made for a good story though.**
(Alternative Title: Katie, help.)
Well, I’m not real sure where I should start….should I start with a little background on my germophobia or should I start with how my birthday has gone? Because the end result is still the same: PC is on his way to [...]


If You Were Me: Part 2

25th March 2009 | 3 Comments

Oh Come ON everyone…..Hawaii? Really? Well, guess what, we get to play again because it doesn’t look like Hawaii is going to pan out. Most of all the cost…just a quick crunching of numbers and it would be about $5000. For that amount of money I’d rather get a little more bang for my buck [...]


How Fun (brisk clap)!

13th March 2009 | 1 Comment

Instead of writing about my fun care package from Swistle, I got to take care of double-ear-infectioned Nathan AND do laundry. Lots.
Also, I loved the video that Katie had on her blog and it totally reminded me of earlier today when I took Nathan to go get a smoothie. For those of you who are [...]


Small Corners

20th February 2009 | 3 Comments

A lot of things changed when we decided to stay here for another 3 years. Plans had to be scraped, ideas changed and the house all of a sudden got way too small. I think most people who have lived over here would agree, a tour in Japan is really just like a 3 year [...]
