There are days I wish I had a circle of friends.  I miss the "crowd" of friends.  The group in which there are never fewer than two in tow.  I'm back at it again, socially floating ( Read more... )

It's a beautiful day in Southern Mississippi.

Rob's out golfing today.  He texted me a few minutes ago "I'm doing really good today.  May bring home some money".  YAY!  I hope he does well.  He's been playing every Saturday with some guys who play in the amateur tournaments.  He's got a tournament next weekend and a charity tournament the ( Read more... )

After a week of Chris being here, he took off this morning to FL to recruit at a tournament.  The boys and I were very sad this morning when he left ( Read more... )

I've survived 3 days of work.  My house is in tack (somewhat).  My boys have been spending time with their uncle and enjoying it.  Rob's been on half days this week.  Me, I get up on time, get dressed put the heels on and go.  I'm not working half days but they've let us go early each day which has been nice ( Read more... )

One thing I love about Christmas time is baking.  I've been in the mood to bake and I mean BAKE.  However, I have had to put it off a few days because it seems hard for me to find Brandy extract.  For real.  So after I searched with no luck, I am going to try substituting it.  I went out today and bought more things to make some new recipes as well ( Read more... )

I'm not starting my first day tomorrow.  Long story.  Someone didn't tell me to send a copy of my security papers (request) to them after the directions said to submit them online.  Nice.  So we now wait another two weeks because I can't start until the next pay period ( Read more... )

I'm ready to go back to work.  Ok, I'm not READY but I'm really looking forward to it.  I called the HR office yesterday to see how things are coming along.  Check on my security clearance and background check.  Neither are completed yet.  I also had a few other questions to ask.  All I could get an answer to is my taxes.  I can't start until the ( Read more... )

I received the official offer for a job.  My estimated date of work is Dec 6th.  It's estimated due to my security clearance completed by then.  With that said, I've been working on getting those ducks in order.  I got finger printed yesterday and sent in my first copy of information.  I now have the dreaded "go back 7 years" paperwork ( Read more... )

I'm officially IN my 30s.  I have said I'm going to celebrate all week.  Sunday, the family went out to Olive Garden for dinner.  It wasn't a planned birthday dinner but we ended up saying it was an early celebration.  Monday, my birthday, I got the kids ready for school.  Before Rob took the boys to school, they let me open my gift from them.  I ( Read more... )

A year ago today, I did my last out-processing from Fort Wainwright and the Unit I worked for.  I worked until the very last day we were in AK.  It was a bitter sweet day.  I loved what I did.  I was tired from the deployment and politics.  I was ready for a new beginning ( Read more... )
