John finally got some more information about his new assignment. He says it's about 90% travel time, mainly overseas. The orders do include family, but I really don't want to move to the D.C. area with just me and Kevin. He didn't say anything about on-post housing, only that a 1/1 apartment in the area runs well over $1,000. We'd be alone in a ( Read more... )

Sirius and Samwise have earned a new nickname, awarded them by Kevin's friend Jesse. They are officially LFBs. WHich stands for Little Ferocious Beasts.

Since I only have half an hour until Kevin gets up. Long time since I posted anything here, so let me explain. No, will take too long, I will sum up.   Finally got taces done.

Me First: I've been doing the diet and exercise thing and so far have lost about 25 pounds.  Have a doctor appt this morning, so I'll have the official weight loss total ( Read more... )

We spent a good chunk of the day on Sunday watching episodes from my new DVD of the first season of "Quantum Leap" - Kevin was spellbound. Yeehaw!!! I could watch Scott Bakula all day, anyhow. I'd never actually seen the first episode, in fact missed most of the first season altogether. Silly me, I didn't listen to Corgi. When will I learn?
