Flu- Shot Week and a Great Deal for MilFamilies

We know the drill.  It’s flu season.  Active duty personnel get their shots/mist first… then… if there is time/supplies left, the remaining retirees, then dependents get their shots.  Take control of your own flu shot this year and head to the nearest CVS Pharmacy.

Air Force - Valour IT

Alright. I’m late for the party.  I should have had this up last week, but I came down with a ’bout of the flu… and then I went to a conference that took me away all weekend.  I’m sorry for not having it up earlier, because donations could have been lost… and this is something [...]

Raspberry Peanut Butter & A (small) Update

I feel like after such a long absence, I should be bringing more to the table than a raspberry peanut butter.  The truth is, things have been busy, I’ve lost motivation and… I just don’t have a good excuse other than extreme business and an unbelievable desire to maintain radio silence.

In (unpaid) Praise of GEICO Military Services

It’s amazing.  Really.  The hands of God can wrap around an entire car and keep harm away from a loved one.  Truly.  Utterly amazing.

Yesterday afternoon as I was buried waist deep in work, I had this uncontrollable urge to make The Husband laugh.  I contemplated sending a dirty text (don’t judge… we’ve been married long [...]

Savoring

The late afternoon light filters through the front window, filling the living room and kitchen with a soft warm glow.  The Husband is upstairs, working on homework, returning emails, keeping his mind on the positive things in life.  He had just run downstairs to fill his tumbler with water, kiss me on the forehead and [...]

Update

This may seem a little ramble-some, but at this point it’s been so long since I’ve given an update on The Husband’s situation that I’ve surpassed long overdue.

Zac Brown Band & Soldiers Angels (Letters for Lyrics)

This is long overdue, since I’ve known about this initiative for months and am just now realizing what a great idea it is to share it with all of you who visit my little website.  I realize that I have the ability to touch a different group of people who aren’t all military centered, so [...]

Laying it all down

The situation with The Husband has gotten worse.  Jobs were handed out today and he was given a little heads up about what his job will be when he reenters active duty.  The job is a slap in the face, to put it mildly.

When The Husband and I went on our little mini-spring break vacation, [...]
