MilWife passing for Civilian

I consider myself a morning person.  The Husband says he wouldn’t want to wake me with a 10 foot pole lest the beast be released, but I swear… that’s only waking up.  I’m chipper as a bluebird once I’m awake.  If I’m going to be productive at all in the day, it’s going to be [...]

Barefoot! Panza-schetta

I walked into the house Tuesday evening after my jog to this…

“Crunch.  Crunch, crunch, crunch.”
“Honey?”
“Crun…hmm?”
“What are you eating?”
“ch… mmm… nuphen”
“Crunch.”
“Honnnney! What are you eating?”
“Ummm… a snack. Crunch, crunch, crunch.”
I walked into the kitchen to find The Husband’s bum sticking out of the refrigerator while he was standing inside it eating our dinner.
“Honey?”
“Hmmm?”
“You know that’s for [...]

Harvesting Friends

**not gluten free**

The Kansas bounty is here!  Most of my friends know my life goal is to become a professionally trained chef one day.  Of course, knowing this, my friends will randomly drop home grown vegetables by my house.  I will never turn down a vegetable (unless it’s a mushroom.  Thankfully, the only [...]

Consider yourself Enlisted

My in-laws are coming to visit in a little under 2 weeks.  My mother-in-law is a vegetarian who eats fish… and as you know, The Husband and I don’t eat fishies.  I’m at a loss as to what to serve for breakfast and lunches.  The Husband is a high-protein eater because of his exhaustive schedule.  [...]

Fodder for Gossip

**not gluten free**

When the moving truck pulled up to the house to our north last year, The Husband called me at work to gently explain that my worst nightmares had come true.  College kids were moving in… and they were all boys.  Over the last year The Boys have become very dear to The Husband and I.  [...]

Chi: Off.

I share a huge office with another woman, who makes me giggle every day with one thing or another.  The Office Partner is prone to headaches and prefers to work in the dark most days.  Working without lights on doesn’t usually bother me as there is a very large picture window across the room that floods my [...]

The rest of it… and a meat ball!

A little bit… Part I

This is long.  Pull up a chair… and if you drink wine- pour a glass (or two). 

If I’m going to be honest here, because this is, after all, my space to be me.  (Hence the 1freshstart… it’s me- finding me again).  I’ll let everyone who reads this in on a secret.  Shhh… don’t tell anyone.  [...]

Inconclusive

The doctor finally called my mom back.  The results from Thursday’s biopsy came back inconclusive.  She’ll have to have surgery to remove the tumor.

**UPDATE

Today I’m hearing all sorts of things like radiation, chemotherapy, drainage tubes, clear paths, making sure the sight they took the biopsy from isn’t effected.  Seriously?  I’ve been told that while we’re [...]

Stand In

The first time one of The Husband’s friends called to say, “Whiskey… I met a girl.  I think I want to marry her.  You’d love her… she’s just like you” I chuckled to myself and said, “oh, aren’t you sweet.”  He was in the UAE at the time and asked that [...]
