Happy Birthday to Harriet the Hamster

We’ve managed to keep Harriet alive and well for a whole year now. Actually, she’s thriving and is loving the extra attention from Grandma Betty. Since I wake up at 5 am to get ready for work and Harriet is wide awake at that time, I’ve been letting her roam around while I fix my [...]

Living in a Snow Globe

As I looked out of our bedroom window this afternoon, I felt like I was in a snow globe. The big puffy snowflakes were coming down sideways and, sometimes, the wind would shift and it looked like the snow was floating upward. It was a gorgeous sight to see. I was so mesmerized and sat watching for more than [...]

Well Wishes to My Sister-In-Law

UPDATE: I spoke with JR today and she sounded surprisingly good. I’m praying she’ll have a speedy recovery.  
My sister-in-law, JR, is dealing with a sudden and serious medical condition. I’ve thought of little else since I heard about it on Sunday afternoon. Please keep her in your prayers ~

It’s Beginning to Feel A Lot Like Christmas

The snow certainly adds to the outdoor Christmas decorations. When I went out early this morning (about 5 am) to take this photo, I saw deer tracks in the snow leading up to the houses. It looks like the deer was checking out the shrubbery peaking out of the snow. I’m thinking of getting a [...]

By the way, I’m loving the new job. [...]

One Year Anniversary

Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of Favorite Man being “in command” ~ it’s been a fun, busy and expensive year. We’ve been lucky since the unit hasn’t deployed this past year and the team has had a chance to train, get to know each other, and become a very cohesive entity.  Last year, we [...]

Opting Back In

After three years as a stay at home mom (SAHM), I’m opting back in to the “out of the home” workplace. I start on Monday and I’m more than a little apprenhensive about getting back into the groove. I’m not used to keeping to a schedule. Even though I keep busy with volunteer work, it’s [...]

Warning: Color Blindness and Electricity Don’t Mix

Normally, I wouldn’t talk about someone’s deficiencies at work; mainly because I’m the first to admit I’ve had my share of goofy mistakes. But, the other day, when a repairman came to the house to fix the faulty flourescent light in the kitchen, I started thinking I was on a candid camera show. It just got worse and worse the more [...]
