Because We Each Have Our Own Personal Hell

The Husband’s situation hasn’t improved.  In fact, it’s hasn’t gone anywhere.  Immediately after receiving word that he would miss the age cutoff by just 2 months, the waiver was filled out and filed. The saddest part about all of this is that the age restriction isn’t an Air Force restriction, but an AFROTC restriction.  The [...]

Some Discounts/Freebies I’ve encountered for this Veteran’s Day:

Outback Steakhouse is offering [...]

Caramelized Butternut Squash

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I don’t know about you, but our house is suffering from Thanksgiving cravings.  Usually I can tame the craving with an incredible turkey & sage roll served with a cranberry dipping sauce. I’m not sharing the recipe for the easy Thanksgiving explosion that is so quick to prepare [...]

As we approach Veteran’s Day, please keep our men and women in your prayers. [...]

Peanut Butter Tart

I think the only time I liked Halloween was as a small child when my mother would painstakingly craft the cutest costumes for my brother and I.  One year I was a cabbage patch kid complete with my own stuffed cabbage to sit upon.  Another year, I was an Indian with leather scraps to make [...]

Have you Donated?

The Air Force is trailing in donations behind the Marine Corps (holding tight to the #1 spot) and the Army (creeping close to the Marine Corps at a close #2).  Of course, Soldiers’ Angels is not discriminatory in their giving to any wounded warrior.  The contest is simply a joint-services rivalry where the team members [...]

BWE2009: The Panels

Despite the Valium hazed flight from Kansas City to Memphis (?!?) then on to Vegas, I arrived in one piece around 2200.  Waiting at the hotel for me was none other than Tammy Munson.  We ran up to our room so I could drop my bags and then headed out on the town in search [...]
