The Pilot’s girlfriend
I’ve gotten a few requests about giving relationship tips, dealing with deployments, how the Pilot and I keep from fighting, stuff of the like. My only real relationship tips are: you’re a team, don’t nitpick the little things that don’t really matter, and do something everyday to show the other person you love them. As…

What a crazy day <3 Tax fun. (I use the word “fun” loosely. Haha) Egg-rito. Conference call. Turbo. (will post a review on this DVD tomorrow! ahsdhakwe073749hnekdnU(!)#&HN.) First day using cloth diapers (for Liv). Avoiding researching computers. The Pilot said I’m getting a new one this weekend because mine is on life support. He…

The sound of silence
We enjoyed last night’s taco dinner sans the usual background music of the TV. Our satellite provider was having some issues, so we turned the TV off for the night. I can’t believe how peaceful it was without it.. but I will be excited to catch up on Giuliana and Bill later today 🙂 Work…

Totally called it. The Pilot woke up, saw that the birds were still failing miserably at their nest attempts, so he built them a nest platform. Cribs, bird-style: He did a good deed, and I think it’s for our benefit, too… I would be traumatized if the baby birds fell out and crashed onto…

Hey guys! IT’S FRIDAY <3 Thank goodness, ehh? All I’ve got for ya is half a breakfast: Someone is going through a growth spurt, and things have been a little cray over here. She discovered a new octave in her repertoire and the first time she did it, I couldn’t help but laugh because she…

Rain on the windows, snow on the mountains a lovely, dreary Tucson day. It decided to jump down 30 degrees for a little wintery chill.. as long as it doesn’t stick around, I don’t mind 😉 Plus, we could use the rain… especially my cilantro that I haven’t watered in at least 4 months. It…

Sabino Sunday
Hi! Hope you’ve had an amazing weekend <3 Today was breakfast in bed, courtesy of the Pilot, and a lovely hike at Sabino Canyon- happy Sunday, indeed 🙂 The weather was perfection –warm with a cool breeze- and we did around 4 miles. Sabino Canyon is one of my favorite Tucson spots– I have no…

This is what can happen when you eyeball a baked goodie recipe: While we were at the store, I grabbed the ingredients to make more of Heather’s fabulous oaties (including regular unsalted butter. I still don’t understand why they make salted butter in the first place, and why I always buy it by mistake). After…

Over here, it’s an equal split between the early birds (Bell and I are wide awake) and the night owls. (Pilot and baby are snoozing away) Early bird gets the… waffle 😉 A quick breakfast with two Van’s waffles, topped with almond butter and jelly, a salad with Goddess dressing and an egg + tea…

About and out
After last blogging about living in cave mode, we were out and about all day today… and it was glorious. I packed up a little breakfast (nothing like a turkey sandwich in the morning) and we went to the squadron to say hi, 2 doctor appointments, a lab appointment and back home to free Miss…
