Let me just preface by saying that I FULLY realize I have no right to bitch.
Yesterday was a beautiful, scorchingly sunny day – I pedaled my happy ass down to the other end of the island after a morning yoga class to shoot pictures of the boys surfing. I know, I know, Just STFU right [...]

It is officially the first day of spring break. And here I am, leaking out letters because
I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!
td is still sleeping soundly, so I am unable to bust out VERY NOISY vaccuum (which I find very calming), lest I disturb his beauty sleep. And just from me to you? The kid is [...]

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t relieved that I am still able to have the simple, silly moments with dh. We’ll have been together 8 years in April.
Wait. I think hell just froze over.
This warmed the cockles of my heart:
Picture this:
Dinner, just the two of us. At the actual dinner table (which is [...]

It was a great event overall. I raised 700 dollars with Momma’s help, came in 11th out of 43 in my age division, and 257th out of 895. Not too bad. It was a fantastic feeling to have the rest of my family with me at a stateside event like this. I know if dh had been [...]

It’s hard to describe being back home again. “Whirlwind” comes to mind. Exhaustion is another adjective. Intertwined, another. Complicated a fourth.
As the 4th nears, so does the rest of my extended family, as if beckoned by some silent internal devices – telling them it is time to come home. As is common with my family, the [...]

Td surprises me every day.
Yesterday, as I lay in Mother’s Day Buffet stupor, he made me an angel food cake and frosted it with chocolate pudding. All fat free of course, because he knows how neurotic I am.
When I asked what he was making, he said, “Uh…”
So I said, “Eggs?”
And he replied, “Yeah! Eggs!”
He put [...]

I seem to have been sucked into the American Idol vaccuum. It’s inexplicable, really. I used to just watch the early episodes, then laugh as they were splashed all over the TV’s on Yokota AFB. Then? I didn’t watch it at all in North Carolina. Now?
Wait, wait, wait, I know what you’re going to say.
In [...]

Hey, hey it’s Valentine’s Day! Do you know what that means to me? Candy. And the discomfort of overeating. And Candy. Oh, and the discomfort of overeating Candy. Did I already say that?
In an odd coincidence last week, I had 3 people contact me: My cousin, an old college friend, and an OLD FRIEND [...]

The last suitcase has been stuffed, and we are on our way, soon. But oh, it has been wondrous.
Crowded.
Gluttonous.
Nothing short of amazing.
Hong Kong, how I love thee.

Yes, yes, we are most certainly in Hong Kong, looking at winding down – well, 6 more days here, and then 2 more in Guam, and then home again, home again, jiggity jig. This is really the first chance I’ve had to sit down and breathe at a computer. Well, breathe in general, and I [...]
