  Spring is here and it turns out to be a stressful time for most of us. Why? APFT, looming inspections, shedding winter pounds, and high hopes of getting your leave approved so that you can get out and do something non-military…that’s why. It also seems to be the time where people decide to make [...]

It’s that time of year again! I’ve broken multiple diets already. I haven’t started the year as organized as I planned. However, I have ordered my red pumps. This year marks the 4th year of the “Rock  The Red Pump” campaign. Starting today until March 10, the Red Pump Project will be running a campaign supporting [...]

Long story short: I haven’t changed to winter tires yet. Last year, a law was passed in Germany, specifically in December 4, 2010. Drivers of motorbikes and cars are required to have fitted winter tires when driving in icy, snowy or slushy conditions. That’s the thing! The weather has been so warm. It snowed a [...]

I would like to wish everyone, especially all of my readers a Happy Holidays. May your season stay a joyous occassion. I will see you in the New Year. Tweet

I made the mistake of publishing a cool Christmas list and not a cheap gift list. (I thought it was cool.) Not even five minutes after the post, I got the nagging text and emails about my expensive Christmas list.  I’m pretty sure by now, you know that I don’t publish my blog posts back to [...]

One of the worst parts about being overseas is that you watch a show days and sometimes weeks after it has originally aired. I have to admit that I haven’t been picky with my entertainment over the past few months. In fact, I have gotten sucked into the mindless tasteless world of reality TV and [...]

Starbucks seems to be making a huge come-back after the public uncovered the startling story of the company charging an ambulance service $130 for water near ground zero during 9/11 (Story Here). Then there was the terrible rumor that they didn’t support the war or “anyone in it.” Unfortunately, the Marine SGT that spread the [...]

I wanted to find a costume to participate in my community’s “Trick-or-treating” festivities. I find that as you get older, the costumes have less material. When are people going to realize that some women just want to be women, not the object of every man’s fantasy? I find it disturbing that I have to choose [...]

At what point do you accept the fact that even though you are somehow making some things work; it isn’t necessarily working correctly or efficiently. It seems that the excuse when there is no excuse has become “Well… That’s the way we’ve always dunnit.” I’m sure that this can be applied to any work place [...]
