I just wanted to stop by my pretty pink blog and get a slap of color! My morning was spent in a classroom full of digital camouflage uniforms. Personally I like the good old fashion black, brown, green camouflage that is being fazed out. There are tons reasons why camouflage is a good thing and why our soldiers need to wear such patterns in combat. IN COMBAT. If they are sitting in a class or office on a base who are they hiding from? Could we see some color? Maybe some office wear? A "I'm not in a combat zone" uniform?
Can you tell I am having a little trouble adjusting?

Hmmmmm
As a child (and still today) I have always had a vivid imagination. As a child I would often sit in front of my mirror and interview myself as though I were famous. You can laugh. It's funny and strange but it was fun. I am pretty sure I had some imaginary friends when I was little also but Liam is on a whole different level! He has imaginary worker friends that get a whole lot done and build everything. His worker friends have gotten him into a little trouble in the past and he likes to use them to blame things on when he gets into trouble. A year or so ago he told us his arms were names Tito and Waka. Mike and I found it rather amusing but lately they have taken on minds of their own and made me say hummmmmm!
Liam asked if he could wear my watch. Mike let's him all the time but my watch is pretty and pink and expensive. Told me that Waka was responsible and would take good care of my watch. Liam then went on to explain that Tito was mean and liked to hit him in the face. Tito then pro ceded to slap Liam in the face. It was hard to keep a straight face as you can imagine. I have my fingers crossed that Tito and Waka won't get him into trouble at school.
What am I going to do with this crazy boy!?

My New Domestic Life
My new domestic life in England consists of a whole lot of driving, cooking, laundry and cleaning. WOW! Sounds a whole lot like my former domestic life in the states! All kidding aside I am really enjoying myself so far. IT would be nice to have some girls to hang out with but finding friends takes time. Especially when you are as picky as me.
I am not afraid to admit I miss my American fast food! Fast food has always been a love of mine and I can honestly say I am loosing a little weight without it. There is a Burger King and subway on base but they aren't that great. THe nearest McDonald's is over 30 minutes away. Liam is adjusting well to the lack of McDonald's but only because he likes Subway. He is having a hard time on the rare occasion that we do eat out. Yesterday we had our first English lunch experiance. We picked a sauage roll for Liam (a mild sausage in a flaky pastry) and I chose a jacket potato with cheese and bacon. Liam liked the pastry but the sausage was not a hit. Mike's lunch came with gravy and Liam soon discovered he loved gravy. His lunch ended up consisting of pasty topped with gravy. Bacon is not the same as in the states. It's more like a slab of ham. I knew what to expect but needed to try something new. Didn't like it! OH well.
My sister is coming to visit the first week of February and I am super excited! I am looking forward to a little time away with her doing girl things! Check out our family blog for pictures and adventures.
