Milspouse Friday Fill-In

It's time once again to link up with Wife of a Sailor for the Friday Fill-In.

 This week it's fill in the blank

 with famous quotes.

 This should be interesting.

 1. Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll probably be sunburned by 3:00 and bored by 5:00.

 2. It is amazing what you can accomplish if you wake up before noon. hmmm...

 3. If you can't stand the heat, you probably shouldn't wear a flight suit. Or so my husband says.

 4. What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to deciding what we're having for dinner.

 5. Well behaved women seldom walk around the house just in a bra and underwear. It's comfortable and I promise the blinds are shut. Don't look at me like that. I know you are. But you know you want to do it. (Submitted by This Army Wife and Every Branch )

Weekly Roundup and the Friday Fill-In

If you haven't already found the roundup for this week, head on over to A Sailor's Valentine to link up and meet some new milspouses! This wonderful meme hosted by Riding the Roller Coaster is currently on week 45!! And I'm VERY pleased to say that I will be your host for next week!!!!! I am so excited! I have been trying to track down blog authors for weeks now who are next in the lineup to host, but every time I do they have already found someone! Please come back next week and invite your friends to visit the blog!

Now on to another of my favorites, the Friday Fill-In from Wife of a Sailor!
1. Do you eat raw cookie dough?
Guilty as charged.

2. When you get online for the first time of the day...what site do you immediately head to?
It used to be Facebook but since I've gotten into blogging I usually have a link-up to post, so now it's Blogger. I always want to post my link-up early on, because I've noticed that people usually visit the pages that are at the beginning of one, but not the people at the end. So I try to stay on it, but don't always succeed.

3. What was your favorite pet as a child and why?
Well, my favorite pet I've ever had is the dog that I have now (he has even actually saved my life), but when I was little all my brother and I were allowed to have were fish and hamsters because my mother had allergies. So I had a hamster named Reese, and he used to lay on my shoulder anytime I was laying on the couch and just sit there for hours. I had him for three years!

4. If you had a snail that could magically grant wishes, what would you name it?
Um... Pokey? No clue lol

5. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop?
For me, not a whole lot. I'd rather just suck on it until I can get to the tootsie roll. If you ask the owl, it's 3.

Milspouse Friday Fill-In!

Well, I'm sure most of you by now have been a part of the awesome meme sponsored by Wife of a Sailor, but in case you aren't, here's how it goes: head over to her page and answer the questions posed by other milspouses this week, making sure you link back to the blogs that submitted the questions. Then, head back to Wife of a Sailor's page and put your post into the Mr. Linky, and voila! Jump around and meet other military SO's who linked up!

1. If you could have a private concert with any singer, who would it be? Submitted by An Air Force Wife's BlogThat's tough. But if I just HAD to choose, I would have to say Jason Aldean. Hearing him croon out "See You When I See You" would just rip my heart to pieces. It's the song I always play when BE leaves and I'm in a down mood.

2. Is there anything you do to support your family's income? Submitted by Our Life, One Adventure At A Time
Well, at the moment I am studying to take my NCLEX-RN exam to become a licensed RN in the state of Florida... after that I will probably make more than BE lol. For right now I try to work coupons and case lot sales as best as I can and save money for us that way!

3. During your pregnancy (whether past, present, or future), what did you nickname your unborn baby before you knew the sex? Submitted by Explosions of Love
Kind of a sore subject actually. Currently we are having a hard time getting pregnant, despite my constant (begging) prayers for it to happen. Of course, everyone else around me is pregnant though lol. That's the way it goes. But because of that, I would probably just call it a Miracle... when and if I eventually experience it.

4. Have you ever won a blog giveaway? If so, what did you win? Submitted by Mrs. O's Life
Sadly, I have not! I have entered a few though. I should probably try more if I want to win some! I am thinking about doing a giveaway when I hit 50 or 100 readers though!

5. If I looked into your refrigerator right now, what would I find? Submitted by Married to the Army
Lots lol. I just went shopping! I drink a lot of juice, so there's a bunch of that, as well as some leftovers from dinners I've cooked this week. On the other side is DH's beer collection haha! My freezer is a bit better stocked right now though because I got a Food Saver for Christmas and have been using it like it's going out of style this week! Love that thing!

Friday Fill-In (And I'm Featured!!!)

So here is the Friday Fill-In from Wife of a Sailor, which I always love, but that is so much more exciting this week because one of my questions has made the cut! I can't wait to see how many newcomers visit the blog and become followers! Hope everyone will stop back in within the next few days to see the blog's facelift and totally new template!! :) Happy filling!

1. Does your significant other read your blog? Why is this a good or a bad thing? Submitted by Mrs. Alana's Miscellany
Actually, BE does read my posts usually the day that I post them (probably because they show up in his Facebook newsfeed). It has its good days and its bad, mostly because he keeps a lot of things a lot more close-vested than I do. For me, this is a catharsis, so I tend to let it all out, but for him sometimes he rolls his eyes and says "did you really need everyone to know that??" Sometimes guys just don't get WHY we do it.

2. What is one item in your house that holds the most sentimental value and why? Submitted by The Albrecht Squad
Wow that's always such a tough question to answer. I always try to think of it in terms of "if the house was burning down and I only had time to save one thing, what would I want it to be?" and when I think of it that way, there is only one answer. My strand of pearls. Before you judge me, let me explain. Pearls are a big deal in my family - a girl gets her first strand from her fiance/husband either soon before or soon after the wedding; it symbolizes the beginning of a new chapter of womanhood, and I have been waiting my whole life to get my own. My husband presented me with my strand of pearls the night before he graduated Officer Training School, as a thank you for sticking by him and enduring our first separation with him. I wore them the next morning to his commissioning and cried like a baby. I had only ever mentioned the pearls once before - but he remembered. That's why they are so precious to me. :)

3. When it comes to water fun in the summer do you prefer the beach, the pool, a lake, or the sprinklers? submitted by The Tervo Times
Definitely the beach!! I think that's why I love living in Pensacola for the moment so much. The sun, the sand, and the water all in one... plus, I've managed to (falsely) convince myself that I get a better tan there than anywhere else ;) LOL

4. Now for MY QUESTION!! What is the one special thing that you do for yourself to get you through the first week of a deployment/separation? Submitted by yours truly :)
To jumpstart my first week alone, I always make myself a list on the magnetic dry erase board on our fridge of the ten things I want to accomplish during that separation (no matter how big or small). That way I see it every morning and it encourages me not to just sit around the house! Also, I get a new kind of coffee creamer :)

5. What is your biggest guilty pleasure website? submitted by Christine's Little Blog
Ok, so I could spend HOURS on Facebook, but that's no surprise to anyone who knows me! Other than that I'm a total sucker for E! Online. I MUST know exactly what the Kardashians are doing at any given moment. It's bad.
