A year…
We’ve been back for a year now. We’ve moved twice. We’ve been through all four two seasons (rainy and not rainy). In looking back I’m realizing that my “worst” fear about leaving Hawaii was that I would struggle to maintain my weight loss. Ok. I’ve struggled. The “worst” (totally a FWP) has happened. Now what? Now… Continue reading

Wonder-Full Wednesday: Learning
In this gratitude experiment, I find that I am consciously looking for things for which to be grateful, since I know this little Wednesday project of mine comes around every week. This one has been brewing for awhile…. Currently, while writing and still on a bit of a learning curve with my Mac, I decided… Continue reading

And Here We Go Again…Again….
Well, we are just a few days out from saying our goodbyes and hello to another deployment cycle. It was so beyond wonderful having Daddy home over the holidays for a little break in the big deployment. I feel like I’m coming from a place of strength this time ready to take on the challenges… Continue reading

WonderFull Wednesday: Confessions
I admit it. Throughout the entire weight loss journey I never once journaled my food intake. All the statistics say that when you write down everything you eat, you eat less, you make better choices and it’s easier to pinpoint problem areas to correct. I know this in my head. I fortunately had an accountability… Continue reading

To The Military Community
I didn’t get it for a long time. My husband is the social one. I ALWAYS have a great time when we go places and attend parties or other such work functions, but my nature is to be more of a homebody. Putting myself out there, having “witty repartee” with strangers while not simultaneously spilling… Continue reading

I Don’t Give a CRAP About Your Dog
No, I don’t. I really don’t care about how Fluffy the doberman or Butch the Chihuahua are “just like your babies”. Now, before you send me all kinds of hate mail, please don’t misunderstand. I grew up with and have owned pets of all kinds. Horses, cats, fish, ferrets, and yes even dogs. I am… Continue reading

Oh No! Here We Go Again…
Whoever said two’s were “terrible” were liars! I’d take two’s back any day. Terrible 3’s is more like it. (Okay – call it “Terrific 3’s” if we’re gonna be all PC about it.) In our house, it’s beginning again. We have a 2 1/2 year old and she’s got the full on 3’s. Bring on… Continue reading

Wonder-Full Wednesday: Home
Since we are smack dab in the middle of moving, I can surely tell you the things I am not grateful for (boxes, a sea of paper, not being able to find things, etc.) What I am grateful for this week revolves around the idea of home. More than just the platitude of “home is where your… Continue reading

On Customer Service
It seems lately that good, really good, customer service has gone by the wayside in most businesses. Many have a “customer service department” instead of demonstrating the philosophy that all employees, in a retail establishment in particular, are the customer service representatives. When you go to a Wal-Mart, you sort of expect the service to… Continue reading

Inspiration
I’ve been told that things I’ve done or written about have been inspirational. This has been said to me numerous times. It has me thinking about what I’ve done that’s really all that exceptional. I always think to myself when I hear this is, “Well, if I can do it, so can anyone!” Perhaps because… Continue reading
