About Me



:xXx:Mother and wife, among other things...living in NC while my husband fights for what we always hope is the good fight. Doing my best to stay just crazy enough to stand myself. Wishing the world wasn't so ugly and trying to put my own pretty on it. Or at least a safe corner I can call my own. x x I also hang out here..... http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=712794377 http://www.youtube.com/user/sempermomma x x x

My Interests


My interests are always evolving. Guess that means I'm alive. Kayaking. Photography. Guitar. I think there is strength in being a performer-even if it is only in your room. Feelin' that hippie vibe. Damn, I love my life right now.

I'd like to meet:


MyHotComments / HotFreeLayouts

Music:

Music heals. Nueva York T-bones. LYB, brother. Marc Broussard. Alicia Keys. Martin Sexton. Etta James. Michael Whalen's 'I have loved you for a Thousand Lifetimes' is mine & Eric's song. Dave Matthews is always good for chilling me out. Van Morrison's 'Into the Mystic'. Whatever is genuine; not generic. Whatever gets the body moving. Don't ever pass up an opportunity to dance!

Movies:

Movies. Movies. Movies. All of the Terminator movies. Go Aaaaahnold. 50 First Dates, Moulin Rouge, Red Dawn, Napoleon Dynamite, Last Samurai, Cats & Dogs (Ling Chow THIS!), Major Payne (thir, yeth thir!), Drumline, Remember the Titans. Just saw Taladega Nights. Peed a little.

Television:

When I watch tv, it's CSI. Maybe some Choppers, or Miami Ink. FoxNews all the time. The weather channel. Then more FoxNews.

Heroes:

I don't know if I have just one hero, but I do know how to spot one...This may be cliche by now but a hero is someone who knows they are breakable but still goes out and fights the good fight. There isn't anything more heroic than that. He doesn't get sidetracked by all the political b.s. and gets the job done. He is focused and driven and unconcerned with what the world thinks of him. He is protective of those he is leading and cares only about their best interests. A hero is not full of pride but may have a lot to be proud of. I think my husband falls into that category...and all those like him. Semper Fi. Thanks men......WeLoveYou.

Call Center Blues

Week three on the floor; laden with overtime and feeling the strain. I gotta say, I feel blue. What's sad? The wife I heard today quietly threatening her husband when she thought she was on hold. "......

New Things

When we first learned that WV was going to be our next stop on the USMC express, I thought we were going to be in for a pretty bland time. Living in a base town lends itself to a whole variety of cult...

Jobbity Job

Got a new job. And I don't just mean new as in I just started. I mean new as in it's like nothing I've ever done before. My old ass brain does NOT compute. But I'm working on it. Rumor has it that it'...

Rejected. Reflected. Resurrected.

I am back from the dead. (ie: the anti-technology void) I didn't sleep in a bed for almost two months. Camped. In tents. For almost two months. We trackin'? But in the end it was WELL worth the effort...

Campsite Outhouses

Why do they have to smell so bad?  I understand that you can't always have toilets with water in the woods but I'd rather do a full on labor squat in the bushes than go into that stinkbox.  ...

Fattie Fattie 2x4

Been working out for over three weeks now. Not even every day. And I didn't think it had made any difference yet because my weight hadn't changed but three pounds. But I took my measurements again and...

Driving Topless

I was driving topless the other day and feeling the love. People I didn't even know were waving at me and it just felt so good. Ya know? No? It's a Jeep thang.I thought my husband was crazy when he bo...

The Last to Know

    A little while back a friend of mine and I were talking about why the wife is the last one to know when her husband has been messing around. I mean it's kind of one of those things ...

Mothers Day (from live journal)

I've been a mom for sixteen and a half years. And most of that was as a single parent. I've missed a lot. But some things don't sneak by. Yesterday I noticed how my oldest son's arms hang just a littl...

Other outlets

    Been finding comfort in other places. Well, LiveJournal (thanks feeferj!) and Facebook. I think it's because it feels a little less commercial. More personal, somehow. Hard to under...
