First post of 2010

Nevermind the fact that I didn't blog for the last couple weeks of 2009, but something about being with family, lack of wireless, and a foot of snow just didn't lend itself to blogging. My camera is currently MIA (in either my parents car or my FIL) so no pictures for you.

I thought about doing a traditional resolutions post, but I don't believe in resolutions. I feel we should always strive to grow and to better ourselves. There are a few things I want to do this year, a few things I am looking forward to and a few that I am dreading.

Things I want to do:
Visit San Francisco (probably won't happen til 2011 cause of things I am dreading)
Snorkle/go diving
Start sewing more and doing tons more crafts.


Things I'm looking forward to:
Crafting w/ my partner in Craft, Denise
Continuing volunteering with LINKS and the Family Readiness Program
Vacation visits from family
Another CA spring and summer! :)

Things I am dreading:
deployment of my husband
deployment of our friends
deployment period

I know my lists aren't that exciting but at this point I'm honestly a little afraid to have lofty expectations because of how much our life is going to change this year and how much more it could change.

I promise a fun post with fun pictures from our holiday visit home as soon as I locate my camera and subsequently the card wtih all the pics on it.

Where to start?

This is a welcome home sign that somebody put up on base. I'm sure the Marine recognizes himself in the picture as do all the Marines that know him. There is just so much wrong that I don't know where to start. Is this sign from a jealous girlfriend and wifey's on the bed of a pick-up truck on her way to Mexico to be sold into slavery? Is this sign from his brother who took "care" of wifey while he was deployed? Is this just a sign from the wifey who likes to advertise that she is lazy and fat and probably has cracker crumbs and bugs in the bed because this sign has been up for several weeks. I won't even get started on "the ice", like there's only one ice? I bet it melted really quick. Maybe it's on the ice in Alaska? Or on the ice on the boat that she bought with deployment money and is sailing around on with the brother? OK, it's making my brain hurt because it doesn't rhyme or flow. It's just a bunch of statements on ...

Welcome Friends! Do you L-O-V-E somebody in the military?  Then this is totally the place for you. Please, pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and make yourself comfortable.  Hi!  I am Katrina aka Froggy Lady.  I like frogs.   No really.   I do. The Lily Pad is my little space on the internet that I like to call home.  It's a place where I take off my shoes, relax and get a little crazy sometimes. I also like to visit Four Ribbons   and get my craft on. This is my Marine, he fights for freedom. That is HOT.   This is Madelyn.  She is three and keeps me on my toes and sometimes renders me speechless.  So now that you know a little more about me, please link up so we all can get to know you! Oh and since we are all linked to the military somehow, you know there are rules.  Don't worry, they're super easy and fun! Link-up your favorite post from this past week with the little linky...

All Dressed Up!

It's All Dressed Up Wednesday with No Model Lady It's just a fun day for us to get dressed up and share it with the internets.  Today I did a little casual outfit that I've been thinking about for a while.  It's not super creative, but I LOVE this shirt and scarf combo.  Feeling pensive in the backyard. Feeling like a picture with heels sinking in the grass! This outfit was really all about the shoes.  Because it's always all about the shoes. This is how silly I felt posing in my backyard with a mirror propped against our glider bench. Shirt and scarf combo: Kohls Jeans: Levis skinny Shoes: Macy's clearance Earrings: Charlotte Russe Bracelet: a gift from my lovely Denise Did you play?  Wanna Play?  Head over to No Model Lady and link up!
