And as we edge ever closer to deployment date …

I was gone for a long time, wasn’t I? Something like 3 weeks? If I keep doing that, I suspect I will lost ALL my readers completely. I gotta apologize and beg your collective pardon. Things are a bit crazy here these last few weeks.

But for today, I’m just gonna tell you all about the last 2 weeks.

See, last 2 weeks was “block leave” – which just means that everybody was on vacation for 2 weeks. Company offices were empty. ..read more

Drama and a much-needed weekend reprieve

Lawd whoee – what a stress!

I’ll tell you this, it’s heartening to know that SO many people want to be an authority on the fyr … I’m famous! Wewt!

I apologize to those who might have been working up the courage to comment (again?) and found that comments are now closed here – the reason is a sudden upsurge in the bitch content of my life which I am trying valiantly to quell and exterminate. So far, it seems to be ..read more

Ringing in Two Thousand and Ten

The holidays were pretty weird for me. Especially considering what the 2 previous years have been like.

What is this Christmas Spirit that people talk about?

Do you feel it? Well…? DO YOU FEEL IT?

Christmas parties for the fyr-family

Hubby and I went to a grand total of 3 “parties” this year. Stunning number, eh?

The first was a “family day” sort of thing for his battalion – kids could get their picture taken with Santa and participate in craft events. As you can imagine, TONS and TONS of kids – running around, crying, screaming, yelling, laughing, dancing, singing … cacophony. Hubby and I were immediately subdued the minute we walked through the door. That kind of scene is ..read more

Thanksgiving Dinner – Pt 2

Thanksgiving dinner, albeit a late one, was the definition of anti-climatic for me this year. As you all may remember, hubby asked me to cook for him and his soldiers this year – 3 of them and 2 of us – 5 in all. I blogged about choosing my recipes and all the preparation and I haven’t said a word since.

I got up before daylight on Saturday morning and put the turkey in brine and made the cheesecake – which ..read more
