Quick Updates

I’m a lucky woman.  The Lord blessed me with an understanding husband who spoils me.  Not only that, he indulges me and my crazy whims–like Nintendo Wii’s and random electronic stuff.  Sometimes I wonder why.  I told him a couple of weeks ago that my cell phone contract was supposed to be expiring and that I [...]

House Hunting

Today Rob and I went to Kaiserslautern to look for a new home.  We had 3 appointments to look at houses.  We saw the first one and we liked it okay, but it didn’t have a fence around the little postage stamp sized yard and it was too close to the street.  Casey would have [...]

Beaches of Normandy, Part 2

This past weekend, my husband and I and about 50 of our closest friends enjoyed a couple of days in Bayeux, France.  This village is only about 20 minutes away, driving time, from the Omaha Beachhead and Gold.  We were able to see Omaha and Gold beaches.  Juno was in-between the 2 British beaches, Gold [...]

Normandy

This weekend, my husband’s unit and I were able to go to Normandy to have a re-enlistment ceremony.  It was so educational and such a nice ceremony.  The one factoid that really surprised me the most was that there are no seagulls or any real animals on Omaha beach.  They just don’t go there.  I [...]

I’m moving…

I’m closing my BlogSpot account. I’m going to use Word Press exclusively now. I like the way it’s set up far better than I like BlogSpot. Plus, I get 3 gig of storage instead of just one with Blogger. I haven’t decided if I’m going to keep the Photo Album that is at blogspot or not. I [...]

Does cartoon violence count?

Update

Hi all. Sorry that I haven’t published anything in the last couple of days. Things have been going pretty slow for me this week. I’ve got Chinese-Disease–that is–Dragon Ass. The mono is kicking my butt. Yesterday, I went over to my neighbor’s house and was chatting with them for about 20 minutes or so [...]

Super Size Me!

I watched this film last night and after having watched this, I seriously don’t think I want to eat fast food anymore. The guy who did the film weighed 185 before he started the 30 day, 3 times a day McDonald’s experiment. When it was all said and done, he had gained nearly 25 [...]

No winter for Germany

This is the second year in a row that Germany has not seen any snow.  I find it very alarming.  I don’t believe in Global Warming–at least not the way that politicitians talk about it.  I don’t think that there is enough evidence out there to justify that global warming is happening.  I clearly remember [...]

Nothing’s going on

There’s absolutely nothing going on, but I wanted to write a little bit. Rob is in the field. He came home this evening because we had a meeting to attend. Today has been a hard day, in terms of quitting smoking. I have constantly wanted a cigarette today. I’ve been good. I didn’t have any. [...]
