The Husband and I were talking last night about how far we’ve come. Alright, I admit it, I did most of the talking… but sometimes he’s a good listener especially when I gently remind him, “Hunny, sometimes I think you aren’t listening to me.” To which he responds, “huh?”
I was the girl who never wanted [...]
I was never a fan of soups until about two years ago when I really started to cook. I somehow missed the fact that you could have a whole meal in a single bowl and taste heaven on a spoon. I don’t remember the first time I tasted Chicken Tortilla Soup, but I can tell [...]

When The Husband and I were stationed at Pope AFB (you know, that tiny thing they called a base inside Ft. Bragg) I worked down the street from a place called Georgia Browns. It’s about the best “southern” food I’d eaten in Fayettenamville. One of the side dishes served was a Tomato Pie that [...]
I can’t even begin to comprehend this. This woman is being woken in the middle of the night by a bunch of insecure Army wives beating on her door? Seriously girls? I understand the complaint, honest I do. If ever there was a girl that didn’t want her husband looking at other women, I am she. I [...]
Last night’s episode of Army Wives showed a group of men in PT gear on base… running in the grass. That would never happen. You know it. I know it. End of story.
The Husband came home on Friday and life is bliss again. I always feel as if there’s something missing from my life when he’s away. I try and explain it to The Husband saying, “I don’t walk around sad the whole time you’re gone! I just don’t… talk much.” The Husband doesn’t get this and [...]
Several things in my life lead me to ask this question right now: What is the magical pull some people feel to high school, to those “good old days” when everyone was a walking misery?
My neighbor had her twenty year high school reunion yesterday. For the past three months she’s been burning [...]
The Husband is returning from Parchute Dude training today(early!) I spent yesterday evening lining up Cat 1, Gomer Pyle, and Cat 2, Radar, insisting that there will have to be an end to the romping on the glass coffee table, no more sitting in the dining room chairs with me as I eat, and no [...]
Friend: “Ugh. I still have unpacked boxes.”
Me: “Girl! What’s taking you so long? You’ve been there 10 days already! I’ll drive down this weekend and help, okay?”
Friend: “You realize that’s not going to make me unpack any faster, right?”
Me: “Yeah, but the margaritas will sure make everything better!”
I have plans for the weekend! A true [...]
The Military Wife Author Unknown
The good Lord was creating a model for military wives and was into his sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared. She said, “Lord, you seem to be having a lot of trouble with this one. What’s wrong with the standard model?”
The Lord replied, “Have you seen the specs on [...]
