A Woman of My Word
I pride myself on being a woman of my word. If I say I am going to do something, I’ll do it.
(Unless it’s something I am telling myself I should do, and in that case, my word means nothing. Refer to: Diet, Start My.)

A Connected Disconnection

In my personal world, I’m addicted to Facebook. I love seeing the pictures of my friends’ kids growing up, hearing what they did on the weekend, and conversing with them back and forth.

This Amusement Park Called Military Life
I have heard this military life called a roller coaster, but what about the other amusement park rides? This summer, many of you are boarding the PCS roller coaster with me and my frequent park buddy Tara.
