Why is the day before so darn hard? I don’t get it, I’ve been through this dozens of times. DH is leaving tomorrow at 0600. It’s not another war time deployment, its just a detachment, a freaking long detachment, but still, just a detachment. I shouldn’t complain. I’m lucky. He’s alive, he’s in one piece. [...]
I’ve moved from one country to another, and back again. I’ve moved from one coastline to the other, and back again (six times). But, by FAR, the worse move EVER was the one from one end of the street to the other.

Recently, I did something a little crazy. I cut off all my hair. Well, I didn’t exactly use the shears, but I did have a professional cut off 21 inches of my hair. I donated it all to charity…and, you know what? It felt great.

Ok, so I get the concept and all, but really, I don’t get the hair-flying-fists-raised-fighting-for-items sport that has become Black Friday mayhem. I put pen to paper today to figure out exactly what my savings would have been had I partaken in the day-after festivities for the items of interest. After factoring in gas, the time per [...]
My next-door neighbor, and friend, moved tonight. They drove away with their U-Haul attached-full of everything to live with for 18 months. Her husband is doing an IA in Bahrain and she’s moving home with her family. I got the requisite knock on the door at about 9PM. When [...]
