31 Days of Military Life ~ Day 31

Wow, here we are, last day, unbelievable; some days it was TOUGH getting a post up, sometimes I thought what am I going to put up on the blog today? But in the end there was always something I could post. It wasn't hard so to speak, but challenging and I think that was the point of the whole thing. Challenge yourself, I did, I would do it again, I would give it more thought, I would name it more appropriately, I would have a better plan. I mean seriously I jumped in and had no plan...sooooooo unlike me. I am not the spontaneous type, but this was good for me, I enjoyed it for the most part. I probably won't continue to blog daily...in fact I know I won't, but I might try to be more bloggerly (yep, I just made that word up!). Sounds cool dontcha think? I do LOL

So that's it, that's all, we are finished, day 31 is going in the books, it isn't even a spectacular post, nothing to send you to the moon, over the rainbow or any of that jazz. Going out low key, that's the way I like to roll anyway, low key. Though I can see where over the years I maybe shoulda done a better job of being a bit more over the top, I didn't and I am  not losing any sleep over it now. It is what it is so to speak...so take care and see you in a day or two or three, OR who knows maybe I'll see ya tomorrow. Just don't know :)

Bye!

31 Days of Military Life ~ Day 30

It's the day before the LAST day of the challenge, I have almost done it...WOOHOO! I have learned a lot! I have much more admiration and respect for those "real" bloggers who do write daily - they make it look EASY, it's not, some days I thought I was going to be in a pickle. Thank goodness for my phone. I also jumped on so quickly that I had no real plan for the 31 days of writing. I should have had a better plan, but in the end I stuck with it and I have a record of lots of things that happened this month.

So on to today the almost last day! It's an ordinary day in our world, we just had a pancake and sausage lunch, we tried the Morningstar sausage, not bad stuff. We had the links but I also got some patties so we shall see on those another day! The pancakes were awesome, since there were no fresh blueberries in the produce section we had frozen but they were still nice according to MiB. He requested the pancake meal. They were yummy, I ate two, I could have eaten a lot more, but seeing as how I am trying to take off pounds not put them on I used restraint.

The day is gorgeous so MiB went for a run, I hope to get a walk in before the day is done. It's too nice to really be inside but we are catching up on some house things. It's all good. Happy Sunday to you and hope you enjoy the day whatever you find to do!

31 Days of Military Life ~ Day 29

Today was my kind of day!!! Shhh don't tell but I am in my PJ's and have been ALL day! I know, right? You wish you were me today! I mean honestly how often does that happen? We had NO commitments today soooo we just slept in, had coffee in bed, did some reading (which has NOT happened since we moved into the house!), had an awesome lunch of riblets, salad, baked sweet potato, corn and bread, little college football and now I'm getting ready to read again. MiB has an event tonight so I'm hanging out doing my own thang still in PJ's :p life is good! Hope you are having a great weekend in your world! Maybe tomorrow we will do something a
little more blog worthy but as for me and what we did today...I'm absolutely loving it!!!!

31 Days of Military Life ~ Day 27

Taking the easy way out today since it is a full schedule, starting out at PWOC then on to the Attic for the afternoon, PTA and AF101 this evening. I will be ready to meet my bed again tonight :) Still not certain on the "goal day" plans but know it will be time together for sure!!!

Thursday Thoughts:

• THE DRIVE is still a =(
• Gotta ebay me some BE...
• Prayers for wisdom & our future...
• Neighborhood is getting friendlier!

It may be a dreary day here (and it is weather wise) and there is MUCH NEEDED rain in the forecast but I am grabbing my raincoat and getting out the door for whatever life brings today! I hope you are meeting the challenges you face with a positive can do attitude cause anything less is just not acceptable. Take your circumstances for what they are, evaluate how you got there and make the needed adjustments to get where you want to be. Heck ya it's scary but it's your life and if you want to LIVE then start doing it and quit making excuses...


Outta here!

31 Days of Military Life ~ Day 26

Oh my, I'm all over the place today! Been out and did errands and a commissary stop, now I am tidying up the house since I have ladies coming over this evening. I would love to get in gear and get a run/walk in. I'm wearing those Sprinkles Cupcakes, literally, I can tell big time! That's what happens when you are barely over 5 foot tall. I would love to have a few inches it would help my poundage for sure, but since I don't I have to take on other means to try and keep balance.

Still working on the auction basket for the Hap House. This has to be done and delivered next week before we leave to go out of town, I'm waiting still on some contributions from the others. I have it put together and itemized but still need a few goodies to add in.

I am ready to relax this evening, it is a neighborhood lady gathering, not sure how many will show, but I know two are, we'll see and we will have a good time no matter. It's good to get to see and chat with them other then at official functions. I am liking the whole getting together around the block thing. I know it can be a lot of work but I don't mind and since we are the childless ones we have been opening up our home more and more, it is not so tough to keep things ready to go. I also remember the days of feeling like our home was too small to have anything but I know that was just my thinking, no one else thought so. Anyway, it is good to have people in no matter the size of your place, the shape of your things or what's on your menu. The point is to build community and get to know one another and no one else really cares about the other stuff!

We are supposed to be getting a cold front in and the weather will cool off, today is gorgeous and while warm it is pleasant I hope we don't cool off too much, I am liking the mildness of the temps lately. Looking forward to Friday as it looks like we are getting a "goal day" which really just means a day off! WooHoo!!! We had thought about going to Dallas for the weekend, however, we have an event Saturday night so now we are not sure. We may just stay local and go exploring. I have several things on my to do list before we head to MO and this will be the last chance to do that so not sure. Whatever it ends up being, it will be a day with MiB which I will gladly take any day of the week!

Enjoy the rest of your day, I know I am :)
