What i'd give for a nap!

Oh loyal followers how I love you... :)

Don't hate me for slacking on the blog entries, I do promise to be more interesting after the move. I'm very excited to say that I bought couches today! I bought them through AAFES too, with our Military Star Card. They're very nice, should be at the apartment in a few days.

If you don't have a Military Star Card you should get one, it's nice when you don't want to spend too much and don't want to pay taxes ;)

They even have good sales from time to time. Although, I wish I was closer to a base so I could actually shop there as opposed to online where I'm still paying shipping and handling.

Also, they have a new Military Star Card through Chase so you can use it off post! Very convenient.

Wish you were here...

Sorry to my followers, the last 2 days I have just been completely out of it. With the move not going as fast as I'd like and not hearing from the hubby in over a week...not my idea of fun.

Im really hoping to get out tomorrow and get this moving thing taken care of, along with other important matters that I've been putting off because I have little to no motivation.

Well, im off to watch Army Wives :)

All that is missing is bon-bons!

Haha, Mmm...Bon-bons.

Silent ranks playing hardball...

I love Army Wives, I like watching others face the crap we go through every day! It's nice to know when you're not even living near a base (since my hubby is deployed I have chosen to live near home) that there are others out there and that I'm not the only one. Hence, the blog?
But today I read something that just honestly pi**ed me off! I'm still outraged. But I'm going to share it with you because I know you've dealt with it before. This isn't the first time I have jumped to the defense of a soldier...even before my husband I just didn't understand how ignorant people can be.
As I said, I love Army Wives and just happened to miss this last weekends episode. So I jumped on the site to see if they had the episode posted yet. I stumbled upon a blog and was hooked on the entries almost instantly (as you are to other military families/wives, it's our comfort zone) A few entries in I stumbled upon this entry...

"I think a show about military life is extremely annoying.First of all, have you ever noticed when someone dies in a war, he or she is labeled a "hero"? How do we define a simple stranger as a "hero"? Most of them are drunkards, womanizers, and poor excuses for human beings. Many of you claim they joined for "the love of their country." Get real: most of them do not even know what the Constitution IS."

I don't know their name, I don't know why they took it upon themselves to wake up today and post to the Army Wives blog with anger? But what I do know is...

These "drunkards", "womanizers", and "poor excuses for human beings" are fighting for their right to even say that. It's unfortunate that our soldiers are stereotyped, because I know that my husband is not any of the above and I'm pretty sure yours isn't either!

I'm just going to pass this one off as venting...
