Last night, the warning system was bad. Sure, our cable broke into our TV. Not just the news breaking in, but that gray screen that they do the monthly tests for – yeah, THAT emergency alert screen. Before the storm, I not once heard the tornado sirens in town nor on post. Not once. My… read more »

There Just Are No Words
2011
We went out for breakfast, and this was on the menu. Notice the last item. The funniest part, I think, is when we sat down and opened the menus. My husband says, “That’s so funny. That’s still on the menu!”
There Are Still Good People in the World
2011
The last week has been a roller coaster. This week is busy busy busy logistically for me. Our car needed an oil change, tires rotated, etc. They needed the car for about two hours. I didn’t have two hours to sit with my 4 year old, who can barely sit five minutes most days. The… read more »

Dear Schools
2011

Yesterday I went to my local UPS Store to have my Milspouse Secret Santa gift shipped to its recipient. I have to say, this was the easiest shipping experience I’ve ever had, and as a milspouse, I’ve shipped A LOT of packages over the years. It was awesome! All I did was walk in with… read more »
Texas Roadhouse
2010
Now before you dismiss this as your average paid review, don’t. It’s not. Why am I endorsing this restaurant then? We have a son who LOVES loud music. He likes the TV loud, music loud, and his games loud. Texas Roadhouse has fairly loud music. Not so loud you can’t converse, but loud enough that… read more »
