Currently our favorite holiday beverage: I'm sure that will change as soon as we crack into the Christmas beer we brought back from Brugge. Completely unrelated: In the worst way I want to share something I'm really excited about (because you guys are my friends) but I just don't want to jinx anything. I hope that I can soon tell you there are going to be exciting changes in my life, but it's like the Viper Pilot told me, things happen for a reason and if it is meant to be it will be. ...

From bad to better.
Life doesn't come with an instruction manual, nor should it. We are held personally responsible for our bodies, thoughts, words, actions, and what we do with our wealth of knowledge. "When I'm good, I'm very, very good. But when I'm bad, I'm better." -Mae West What if these were the words we all lived by? Can bad really be good? It hurts to be the jealous dead flower stuck next to the beautiful blossom. Deny all you want, but we all get a guilty pleasure feeling when bad things happen to ... View the Post
What’s on your list?
Today is not my day. - I made coffee without the coffee. - I got a big splinter in the side of my left pinky finger. - I was late for work because I had to remake the coffee and awkwardly use the tweezers with my non-dominant right-hand to remove said splinter AND because I had to kill a huge spider. - I dropped my drink and spilled Sprite everywhere. - My chicken wrap that was supposed to be sans onions had extra onions and now I can't get rid of the awful taste after just one bite (and I ...

Happy Halloween, Elmer!!
It may not be celebrated in Germany but that's not stopping us. Tomorrow night is trunk-or-treat on base and I'm hoping to be there! Unfortunately, I kind of forgot an essential item for this oh, so spooky holiday...a costume. The spider ring will have to suffice. You know how much I hate spiders... I was thinking today about the pupper-dog. Her first baby picture: I remember it all too well. I told the Viper Pilot I wanted to get a dog and of course, his response was no. But I ... View the Post
Emily’s Awkward Lemonade
"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Okay. I've been here in Germany a month now, and I think it's about time to establish a motto. All I want to do is travel every minute of every day. I don't live in a perfect world and alas, I must work. I don't love my work schedule, but such is life. I understand why I have to have a job, I am an adult after all. I've been a student since I was six years old, so this 8-5 job thing is weird to me. I am starting to see why most of the spouses don't ... View the Post
SB MMXII – Part Drei
Well, hello Saturday! It's a working Saturday for me. But I'm on my second cup-o-joe (which is funny to say, because I have a lot of friends named Joe) and it is a beautiful day out side so I am motivated to get the work done so I can play later. I slept in this morning. Although, some of you may disagree with me when I call 8:30 am sleeping in...but it is for me. I am an early bird. I'm usually up NLT 6:30 every morning. I don't even have to set an alarm...usually. Today was apparently the ... View the Post
