A Man and his Jewelry

**not gluten free**

There’s been a lot of talk about Hero Bracelets these last few days since the bracelet phenomenon was recharged with the presidential debate.  I’m not concerned about the current stories about who should and shouldn’t be wearing a bracelet and making it a political event.  I don’t care.  I do care to share [...]

Speechless

All week I’ve had a hard time trying to capture my thoughts into words.  Perhaps its my ADD rearing it’s ugly head.

The Husband and I watched the debate last night.  Before it started, I had a ball of nerves in my stomach threatening to put an early end to the night.  I wanted many things [...]

Barefoot! Cream of Not-Mushroom Soup

This week’s Barefoot Blogger recipe was chosen by Chelle of Brown Eyed Baker.  Chelle also participates in Operation Baking GALS, which means she’s cool with me.  As much as I wanted to like everything about her, I just couldn’t do this week’s challenge. Instead, I racked my brain with The Lovely Co-Worker to make [...]

The Cookie Jar

Previously, I’ve mentioned there are a few constant things in the Cat House.  Granola is one of them.  Cookies… well, there are always cookies in the cookie jar.

The Brother and I spent a great deal of time with our maternal grandparents.  We used to walk from their house to school in the morning and spend [...]

Sick of it.

I wrote a rant about the election last night, but I just erased it all.  I’m just sick of it.  I’m sick of a bunch of the women in this country running around screaming, “Sarah Palin doesn’t speak for me!”  Kindly, shut up.  Sarah Palin never said she speaks for the women of the country, the media did.  However [...]

Operation Be Hot Again!

From the top of hill number one

I wrote a few weeks ago about being recharged with a mission to take better care of myself.  The mission, appropriately named, Operation Be Hot Again.  I confessed to knowing the tiggers for myself.  At 27 years old, I know what’s going to work and what isn’t.  

I got [...]

Savor the Moments

After a fairly rough week trying to align myself, I spent this morning doing very little.  I watched the news, putzed around the house for a while and finally found myself in the shower around 11:30.  By noon, I was terribly hot and laid down on the bed to cool off.  I whined until The [...]

How do you like my new digs?

The Father-In-Law slaved and slaved making me into a little me on the good ‘ol puter… juggling the things I share with you, dear friends, on this site.  Of course, there’s a computer (a Mac!), an A-10, and a whisk!  Isn’t it cute!?!  The Father-In-Law is a genius at all things marketing and is a whiz in front of a [...]

Identity Crisis

**not gluten free**

*Disclaimer- this turned out to be way longer than I intended… sorry for the novel today!

A few weeks ago, my friend, A Soldier’s Wife posted an article that another MilWife had written about voting.  I was relaying the article to The Husband that night when I started to ask questions about where we [...]

Barefoot! Apple Blobs

It’s Thursday again, and Barefoot Bloggers bonus week.  This week, Anne from Anne Strawberry (who I adore) chose Apple Turnovers for the group to attempt.

I was super excited about this, as I pretty much love anything apple related in the fall.  The recipe was easy to pull together.  The only problems I ran into were [...]
