Want a Creative Way to Propose? - Blog Entry

13 Jan 2007 03:44 PM

My hubby picked an unusual way to propose. We had talked about getting married, but he had never actually said the words "Will you marry me?" which bugged me. He went on deployment for six months after we talked about getting married. He was in Okinawa and one day I got a huge box. He had sent me a wedding kimono along with a letter that said in big words "Will you marry me?" He's such a nut, but it was cute and I still have the kimono.

When to Shop - Blog Entry

That is so true about the commissary Eliza. There is alot of stuff that is cheaper, but you have to watch it. Some stuff I can get for the same price if not cheaper at WalMart, but then I do have to pay taxes on it.

And although I've known for the past two years that the commissary at Lejeune is closed on Mondays, about once a month, I still go there on Monday, see the parking lot and go "wow, no one's here." At least now I don't get out of the car before I go "Dang it!" and have to drive to New River - LOL!

A sad footnote to this blog: Larry Stewart, a millionaire who became known as Secret Santa for his habit of roaming the streets each December and anonymously handing money to people, died Jan 12, 2007. He was 58.

True, true, Jared is a hottie but then Matt Dillon is no slouch :-) The older Matt gets, the better he looks, at least for me. When he first started acting, I didn't find him attactive at all. And personally, I never saw the attraction to Justin Timberlake!

I know Lisa - I feel the same way! I just bought The Illusionist DVD but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I was an immediate fan after seeing him in Primal Fear - his first film! At least he was with Courtney in her "cleaned up" phase - LOL!

Would you Rather Have a Housekeeper, a Nanny or a Cook? - Blog Entry

11 Jan 2007 02:30 PM

The nanny is tempting, but playing with my son is more fun than housecleaning, so I'd say housecleaner. I love to cook, so cook never entered my mind - LOL!

And yeah, if money were no object - I woudl probably say all three for a week so I could recover from the last two years!!!!

Thanks Heather! I just wish I could just make it go away, but that doesn't seem possible without turning off the television and radio then not picking up a magazine or surfing the Internet.

What is a Key Volunteer? - Blog Entry

I just signed up to be a key volunteer, but now hubby has been moved to a new local (well, not really - 45 minutes away!) base, so I don't know what will happen now. Thanks for explaining what a Key Volunteer does Eliza!

World's Oldest Mom Gives Birth To Twins - Blog Entry

31 Dec 2006 08:36 AM

I have to respectfully disagree Myra. I think a mom who is this old and gives birth is just being selfish. I had Will when I was 41 and I often worry that I won't be around to see him reach middle age. At 67, she will be 77 when the twins reach 10. I know there are many active 77 year olds, but still. And as for the older men having children, remember that they are having children with women who are usually in their 20s or 30s, so there will be at least one parent (hopefully) to raise the children. I think if this woman really wanted children that badly, there are plenty waiting to be adopted all over the world.
