Link up with  The Sippy Cup Mom for Chickadee Fridays -  - I can't seem to post the picture!  Bla!

And then one of my faves, link up with Mama over here!

1. If you could speak with a different accent, what would it be (i.e Australian, Scottish)?

An english accent!

2. Can you fall asleep anywhere? (i.e floor, couch, deck)

No! I must be in bed, or on the couch/chair with a blanky!

3. Do you use public restrooms? If so, do you sit on the toilet?

Hover only!  Work is one of the few places I will actually sit on the toilet.  But there is only 2 of us that use it.

4. If you were stuck in an elevator for 24 hours, what celebrity would you most want to be stuck with?

Ahhhahhaaaaahahahaha, I love this question!  Lady Gaga!

5. Where did you & your significant other go on your 1st date?

Well, that's an interesting question...when we reconnected, we met at a local bar where I hosted karaoke one night a week...And then I went to Hawaii to be his date for the whole weekend, to include the Submariner Ball...When I got off the plane that night, we went and had dinner at this great little Japanese restaurant in the shops by the hotel.  Would we consider that our first date?  Or....maybe the Ball?  Either way, we were SO happy to see one another.

MilSpouse Friday Fill-In #14

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD Morning and Happy Friday ladies!  Link up with Wifey over here!


1.What characteristic about yourself has either been strengthened or weakened due to your experience as a Military Spouse? (from The Albrecht Squad)
PATIENCE. I am soooo not a patient person, and this very deployment is teaching me that 10 fold.




2.What is your favorite vacation spot and why? (from ‘Tis the Life of the Army Wife)
Hawaii a couple time is really the only relaxing vacation I've had. Although I remember driving with my parents thru the east coast and seeing Niagra Falls, and Maine in the fall and we ended up in Montreal, where my brother lives. Love the array of culture and people.  Branson with good company is fun too!  British Columbia is GORGEOUS and a favorite too....  Man, I can't pick.


3.If you could have any fast-food restaurant in the food court on base/post what would you pick? (from The Only Pink in a House of Blue)
I've never been on a base to eat........Chief doesn't live on base.


4.Where did you go on your honeymoon? (from Pennies from Heaven)
We have to get married first!  But I can only imagine!


5.If you could have any job in the world regardless of money, degree or experience, which job would you have and why? (from Proud to Be a Navy Family and The Calm Before The Storm)
Radio DJ!  I have always had a dream of doing it. I've been approached many times over the years asking if I was a specific person on the radio, man I sure wish I was that girl! I have done some radio ads, but that's it.

2010 Memory Walk

I don't know if many of you have lived with someone or are living with someone who suffers from dementia or alzheimers but almost 3 years ago I said goodbye to my daddy, who suffered from this, even though for a very short time. By September 16th, we knew from the doctors that my father was suffering from dementia, caused by several small strokes. Looking back, there were several occassions in the two years prior that we can now look back and see dad had covered up his forgetfulness very well. He retired just before turning 70 and my parents moved up north. There were things like, forgetting what he was talking about or doing, and even phone numbers he wouldn't remember. My daddy was the most amazing man I have ever known, and I miss him EVERY single day. And with the days creeping up closer to his passing and the memories of the last few months we had together with him I still miss him very much. Nothing like growing up as Daddy's girl and hearing that he might be dissappointed if I did something he didn't agree with broke my heart.

This Saturday Minny and I are joining in the 2010 Memory Walk to end Alzheimers. We are of course looking for donations for our walk and appreciate any support, encouraging words and wisdom you would be so kind to share.  Click here if you would like to donate and help us in achieving our goal. 

We are late in signing up for the walk as we just found out about the one here in the cities where we live!!!

Again, something very important to me and Minny. I fear my "shiny" moments as I like to call them will only increase as the years pedal on and I too will suffer from Alzheimers. *gasp*  I hope if that is the case that I will go quickly just like my daddy. Gosh I miss him.

this is one of "those" talks...had I only listened.  hah!

30 Days of MeMe, DAY 30!

Day 30, whatever tickles my fancy Collections

Things I collect:

Magazines, because I will someday get time to read them!

Perfume, because a girl can never have enough!  Faves - heavier, woodsy scents. Mmmmm.  Versace Crystal Noir

DollHead Vases (my mom got me hooked when I was little)

Marilyn Monroes - ahhhhhhh

I have a more prints hanging on the wall behind me...tee hee!  I also had a life size Marilyn in fiberglass that I just had NO ROOM for, so she went to another collector who takes VERY good care of her.

And like any other woman with a girly streak, I collect shoes, purses and makeup!

This is my final MeMe of 30 days. Sorry some were late, never on time or right on time. I hope you enjoyed getting to know me better!  Thanks for following along!

30 Days of MeMe, Day 27

Day 27 - this month, in great detail  My CatchAll

Bwahahahaaaaa, this is very funny to me.  We all have one. Mine is just inside my living room from the kitchen to the hallway that connects you into the bathroom and bedrooms...Ready?  You won't believe your eyes.  Funny, as I was so over blogging about my month in great detail. Ya'll read my blog, and if you don't well...you are now!  Here's my CatchAll....and a list of the contents and reasons...



starting with what's closest to me...

My folder of Premier receipts that I am organzing alphabetically

My Premier Designs Calendar with our entire life scheduled out

Pic of My Hero - my daddy holding Minny was she was just a peanut

4 different candle holders, all of which I found at the thrift store - 2 of them are actually fan globes from someones old fan! 

2 pairs of sunglasses - I am awful!

Marilyn Monroe clock

candle snuffer

My favorite bracelet "all dressed up"

"Key to my heart" necklace
4 glass coasters from my brother and SIL

Picture of the ABS girls at A's surprise party in February

on the wall: my leafy green metal thing for decoration with Minny's preschool pic hanging off of it and the sign that says "Just walk a day in my flipflops" that I got from my lovely Donna for my birthday this year - we love our flip flops!

underneath - the super catchall!
1 plant that I kept thru my awful breakup. We had 2, they were like kids.  Ahahhaaaa. 

Book from Walt Disney when Minny was 2.

"Do Penguins Have Knees" book from my BFF, since I always ask the stupid questions!

My coupon binder is on top of all of my magazines I have yet to read!  Shhh, I'll get to them.  Seems I have to fly to read magazines.  They are my guilty pleasure, but don't take the time to read them...I'll get to them....

Oh!  Look!  the tag's still on the table from when I bought it on New Years Day this year,  Ahahahahah.

My AirWick smelly spray thingy doo dah

What's that not plugged in for - the Glade Oil plug in...one of us must have been charging our phone...hmmm...

I think I got it all!  What's your catch all look like?

30 Days of MeMe, Day 26

Day 26 - your week, in great detail

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!  I so get an F on this one. I know there were some movies. What did we watch around here:
Who is Clark Rockefeller?  I rate it an A - kept my attention the whole movie.
Heavens...I can't even remember. But they were good probably.
There was a whole lot of busy moving around keeping going in this house last week.
Best meal of the week = Saturday morning Minny and I went to Fat Nat's Eggs for breakfast. Woooooweeeeeee!  After a morning together at the farmers market, this place was the cats meow. Minny's hot cocoa had the biggest whip cream triangle at the top and was extra tasty. The food fed me not only that morning, but for 3 more! It was crazy. Very reasonably priced as well.
I had an awesome show Saturday night at Tailgate. Wow! I have to say karaoke was a blast! I had so many singers, and the bar was super busy!  The best part - Tailgate is like this every Saturday!  OKAY!

the girls and I pre-karaoke show

I was also reminded Sunday morning why I am quitting smoking. Ish. 

So, for my week in great detail, again I get an F.  I can handle one good day, not 7 in detail!

30 Days of MeMe, Day 25

Day 25 - your day, in great detail

5:50AM Alarm #1 jolts me from my snuggly warmth
6:15AM Alarm #2 reminds me I should have gotten up the first time...I'm just gonna lay here a couple minutes.
6:25AM Alarm # you need to get your butt out of bed and MOVE 
FINE!  I refresh my email browser on my phone to see if anything from Chief has come, nope. Okay...Darnit, I forgot to prep the coffee pot. Coffee is a necessity in my house, I refuse to talk until after I've had my first cup poured. Oh darnit, the cat, she's thirsty, I wonder if Sarah checked her dish...get cat small bowl of water.  Shuffle off to shower. Oooh, I love this new shampoo/conditioner Sprinkler brought home from Victoria's Secret...and this body wash...mmmmm divine.  I'm so not bothering shaving, it's cold out, I'm wearing jeans. I hate cold. I turned up the shower heat after this very thought.
Sarah managed to sneak into the bathroom while I was showering to use the facilities and thankfully remembered to turn on the fan for me. Ooops. I always think it's too cold in the morning for the fan, so I forget it most days. Love these new scents and products from the VS!

 I finished my shower, poured my creamer in the cup first then coffee (quirk #435) and went upstairs to wake my precious Minny. I shake her a little, sing her a song and get my morning hug.  Ahhh, I love her in the morning, her hair all astray and the prettiest smile. 

Off to put my face on. Little extra bronzer today. Checked to make sure Minny was moving and shaking upstairs and then back to the bathroom to blowdry my hair. Sarah and I chatted for a bit, she's decided to stay home today, not feeling well.  Okay then!  So I proceeded to get myself dressed. Might I add, it usually is the 3rd outfit I put on before I am happy with what I've picked out, but not today!  I got it on the first try. And the jewelry. Grab a cute pair of maryjane heels and gather my stuff to put in my carry along bag. My calendar, customer folder and laptop, I need something to do when there is nothing to do at work. :)
I feed and water Scotch, get him back in the house and off Minny and I go. We talked aboiut the umbrella and how to open and close it, I don't want my girl to get wet at the bus stop today and realize she has no jacket. Ish. It's 54 degrees!  We talked about Minnesota's 10,000 lakes and the allergy season and how much we hate it. We get to Sue's daycare and I walked Minny in. Off to work I go!  It's 7.35 now and I am singing in my car...What song was that, King of Anything by Sara Barielles (sp?)  I think about the newspaper and Sundays on my way to work too, and should I order it for the coupons or just keep picking it up at the gas station...hmmmm....
Ahhhh, I'm early for work, I love it. I start opening programs up and try and tend to the most important things at work. Seems to me the first 2 hours of work is a social/catch up hour with bits of work in between.  Jane brought me my favorite this morning, a northern light vanilla latte from Caribou! HAPPY FRIDAY TO ME!  Jane has been with the company since before me and we are VERY close, I don't know what we'd do with out each others friendship. Really, thru the good the bad and the ugly, we have each other. Jane and I exchange our morning hug and go about our mornings. I can't forget to link up my 5QF post or my MILS FF in post either!  I spend the morning doing quotes here and there and a few job tickets. Wow, it's slooooooow right now. Not my favorite time at all. Jane decides I need to leave at noon with her to go to the post office and target to grab food. Uhhh, ok!  I tell the sometimes like today awful Jim that we are going. Today I can't tolerate him. Jim is not only my boss but my ex's father.

*side story *  I came to work for Ex's parents just over 6 years ago when Ex wanted me to work a day job (mistake #2 - giving up my life) well, needless to say, I took a job working for his parents business. I am Jim's "mini" in all aspects of business. A few years ago mom and dad sold the business to BR and I happily work for BR under Jim, as he's still the "sales" manager. While most days we get along, the breakup was still very hard as we lived next to his parents along with WORKING TOGETHER.  Yea, I'm sure you're thinking OH WOW. Jim knows I don't ever want to see, here or smell of Ex and so we try to keep a very professional relationship. Needless to say, we had a very close personal relationship and so sometimes he gets my ugly, happy personal side when it comes out. ***

Jane and I do just that, head to the PO, and then to Target. Oooh, did you see the beautiful turquoise dishes?  I need those!  Oh...Sorry. ahahahhaaaa. I am PMS'ing, I grab creamy chicken dumpling soup, cheeze-its and frosted with sprinkles animal cookies. YUM. Oh look, Jane grabbed cheese too, I need that.  What about that Tapioca pudding?  Heavens Margaret!  Yep, it's PMS, Jane called me on it too!  tee hee
Back to work to find Ex's mom is at the office. FFS! I can't tolerate her lying 2faced self more than I ever liked living next door to them, now I have to see her and pretend to be nice!  I see Jim on the phone outside his office, praying I don't have to see her. I put my things in my office and snuck off to the girls room to wash my hands. I walk by Jane's office on the way back. WHEW - they left for lunch. Sweet baby!!! 
Forget the soup, where are those cookies...And the cheeze-its.
I got to talk to Mai-vin, my BFF and that made my day. Gosh work was long and BORING. Why don't customers follow procedures regarding jobs and samples?
Jim comes into my office about 3.50 talking about how I should really dust the sample shelf when I'm not too busy playing on my laptop. Ahhhaaaaahahahahaha, yea, NO. I'll work on that the second Tuesday of next week.  So he then turns around and says, see ya bye!  It was that slow, he sent Jane, Scott and I home!  Wahoooooo!  I am thinking Jane's ready to go, since I'm giving her a ride. I pack up all of my things and go to her office hoping she can fetch my key out of my purse that's behind me under my bag of goodies. Well, she's not ready, so she'll meet me at my house when she's done and she was kind enough to fetch my key. I left work, refreshed my browser on my phone as I was waiting for someone to kindly let me into the traffic.  OH MY GOSH! YAY!  "I miss you" is the subject line! I <3 hearing from Chief!  So as I do my happy dance in the car, it's Friday and I am SO exciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiited!  Dangit, traffics moving again, will have to wait for a red light to read more. I get to the final light before the daycare and am able to read the email. Woo hooooooo! Chief will be in MN, he's given me the date, and omg, another countdown! Sadly he won't be on the first round of leave, but the second. Which means he'll miss Christmas, and leaves on NYE to fly to MN. CRAP. HOWEVER, I can't think of a better way to start the New Year than with him. So many things running through my mind as I finish reading the email. Yay! Yay! Yay!  I get to Sue's Daycare and fetch Minny, who had a successful day with my umbrella, but left it at school. Thank goodness there's no rain coming this weekend. Doo dah doo dah!  Oh I'm still singing!  We get home, and settle in with the dog and the bird and wait for Jane. I read a ton of mail. Yay! My new Rachel Ray magazine that I got for free has arrived, well hot diggity dog. Jane arrives and we head out over to her girlfriends to drop her off. We finally get there and start heading home and there's traffic. STOPPED. DEAD. Ugh. This is why my work is FOUR MILES from home. Yes 4. I don't miss traffic.  Ish. Minny says "Holy Starclam!"  What the?  She cracks me up, and proceeds to tell me it's a phrase from her "warriors" series she's been reading.  We get thru traffic, and I can't decide if I want to wash my car, ahhhh forget it, and turn left at the light. Off to home we go. What will we do? I am not hungry and Minny isn't too much either. Sprinkler is home, so we sit and chit chat and catch up.  She is a serial dater, and so I always get to hear about the newest boy in line.  We sat out on the deck for awhile, I actually smoked. I haven't been doing much of it at all since I got sick Labor Day weekend. I feel like an elephant is still sitting on my chest. And while I only have a terrible cough, I am thinking I am OVER smoking.  It's really pretty nasty. Minny decides she wants the last piece of pizza from dinner last night, so while I heat that up, I start preparing grilled cheese sammies and tomato soup for Sprinkler and I. Super easy, and perfect for a chilly night. And while I'm not cold enough for the furnace to be on, it's chilly. We all enjoy our dinner and now here I sit writing my blog. The tv is on, but it's simply background noise.  I will plan to write my Prince Charming Chief after I finish posting this day 25. I think we got pretty personal and you know my day pretty in depth today!

Cheers!  See you soon!

Milspouse Weekly Roundup # 2

 Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE Fridays??!!  Jussayin!

Come play!

Five Question Friday!

1. What is the first nightmare you remember?

AAAAAAAACCCKKKK!  The cowboy who was like the size of Woody from Toy Story that had a wicked smile, and a big scary belly laugh. He chased me around and around, and when I would take solice and hide in the cupboard underneath the sink in the kitchen, and feel safe, he would open the other door and sit right across from me laughing, say "HA HA! I've found you!"

2. Even if you're not a sports fan, what's your favorite sport to play/watch?

HOCKEY!  MN WILD! I don't know much about any other sport besides soccer or baseball, but I don't follow along. Chief has asked me to send him scores while he's on deployment. Ahhahahhaaaa, I am trying to be the best ESPN Cheerleader ever.

3. If you could pull off one piece of trendy fashion, what would you want it to be (jeggings, hats, thigh high boots, etc.)?

Heels all the time, like where my feet NEVER hurt from wearing them of course! 

4. Did you make good grades in school?
Ahhaaaaaaa.  No. I took honors classes because I loved the pace, and I did okay. Not an A+ student, but I did okay.

5. What magazines do you subscribe to?

Good Housekeeping, it was my housewarming present to myself. I used to get Cosmo, Family Circle too, and I love Real Simple, and I LOVE the Kraft magazine but am such a miser I won't order them!

MILS Friday Fill In #13

Don't forget to link up with Wifey over at Wife of a Sailor!  And get in on her giveaway!

1.How do you spend your deployment money, do you save, pay off bills or enjoy the extra money while it is there to buy the things you do not normally have? (from Troop Petrie)

I can't answer this question. Chief and I have our own monies! :)

2.If you could relive one occasion or moment, what would it be? (from Currently On Land)

Just about anything that's happened in the past year. #1 moment of the year = signing my first home loan and walking in the door that night, toasting with friends. I did it, all on my own!

3.What’s the worst job you ever had and if it was so bad why did you take it? (from Faith and Deploying)

Caribou Coffee. I so badly wanted to be the cool girl behind the counter, with the big smile all the time and yea, that so wasn't me. I didn't like not being able to hear people order from behind the counter, and learning how to make all the different coffees just didn't turn out like the cool kid job I thought it would be!

4.If you could play any character on TV, who would you be? (from Many Waters)

I can be anyone, cool! I want to be Bree from Desperate Housewives. Are you kidding me, who wouldn't want to cook in her kitchen!

 

5.If you could become the world’s expert in something, what would it be? (from Army of Two)

I would know the answer every time some one asked WHY and the answer wouldn't be "because"

30 Days of MeMe, Day 24

Day 24 - whatever tickles your fancy



We'll call it my mid-week recap and ramblings:
For those of you following along, last Friday when I got to write about what tickles my fancy, know that I auditioned for a new karaoke show Saturday. Well guess what?  They loved us so much, we got the gig!  Hooray! I am back full swing hosting a Saturday night show and am SUPER excited!
I am so excited I heard from Chief this week! 
It felt like forever, but can I just say, as the weather cools off, and fall yard work is upon us - neither of which I am looking forward to, it makes me realize that we are days closer to the end of the what seems like forever deployment.  Chief also asked for a favor. For me to keep him updated on his favorite sports teams and their scores. He does realize that I only understand Hockey, and this new request requires me to ... pay attention to things on the tv and radio that are completely foreign to me. Ahahhhaaaaaa. So, I have sent him what he's asked for...This week. Man, I'm gonna be the best Sports Reporter out there by the time this deployment is over!  

100 days until Christmas?!?!  You have to be kidding me! I am not ready! I need to put my schedule together so that I am able to start baking. I am going to put together a cookie exchange. Would any of you fabulous followers be interested in doing a cookie exchange via mail? I think it could be a ton of fun!!!  Let me know your thoughts. I love love love to bake and love the holiday season.  I love to give and Minny and I will be adopting a family from church this year.

I am back to pashmina season, which is a favorite in my business. When you place an order with me for $75 or more, you get a free pashmina.  I love the cooler weather for this awesome style, I am wearing my "wine" colored pashmina today. Did I also mention I celebrated 1 year as a Premier Jeweler this week?  YES!  And I am running an awesome Anniversary Special. 30% off of your ENTIRE ORDER!  If this is something you're interested, I would love to get you a catalog and share Premier with you too!
 
I put a bottle of wine in the freezer to chill it the other day, and ... guess who found it in the freezer last night?  Hmmm, yep!  ME!  Ooopsie.  But the wine still tasted great - no worries that I didn't actually have to take the cork out myself. How perfect!  tee hee!
 
I am getting nervous for the next few days of this MeMe. I have a memory, but specifically of a mouse when I have to remember days and months in great detail. Please keep the shiny things over there, yikes!

30 Days of MeMe, Day 23

Day 23 - a YouTube video

I know a lot of you have kids at home. Fur babies count. ;)  Minny was so freaked out about a potential "Tormado" one night that Sprinkler Girl was trying to help get her mind off of the "bad' that could happen and really prepare her if there was a "Tormado"  Please see the video I managed to take when Sarah Pants and I realized where the girls were...
warning: do not consume beverages during this video. Turn up your volume and ENJOY!
Tormado training at The SHF

The house could have blown away during these 2 minutes...and we would have been too busy laughing to notice.  Click your heels girls... 

please note: I am the one responsible for the awful filming of this production, and the one who saves Sprinkler Girl from the dryer. Please understand that no one was injured in this video, and PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.
