I know – you all come here for my positive attitude and inspiration, but once in a while, the Princess of Positive gets pissed. Nobody who disrespects our men and women in uniform, past or present, should get away with it! My dear friend Mrs. G (Queen of the Milblogs) posted about stupid stuff said …

This is the final stretch for Operation Overseas Mardi Gras as the deadline is the 7th. The response has been overwhelming and there are lots of new angels jumping on board – Snoopy Dance! My beads for the Krewe of Eve are in my garage but I realize I need to buy more – YIKES!!! …

I didn’t expect this nice thing written about me today. It made me want to cry it was so wonderful!
Mathematically, it is probably not good for a family when the number of 4 legged critters outnumbers the humans! It is becoming a zoo around here. Seems I keep picking up additional things I need to take care of that can’t take care of themselves! You have read similar posts in the past, but with …
So if you have been following me for a while, you may have heard about my “Clown-phobia.” Well today I see a picture of the Eve float I will be riding on. Save me from my nightmares!
