MilSpouse Fridays

Greetings,

I am participating in MilSpouse Friday fill-ins...


This week’s questions are:
1.      What is something you wished you’d learned to do earlier in life?

Any and every thing domesticated… life would have been a little easier and cheaper if I had learned to cook , launder clothing properly, automotive maintenance, lawn care.  Trying to teach this ole dog new tricks at 30+ is downright discouraging!

2.    What is your biggest pet peeve with the military?

Tri-Care… and it’s intricate weaving of information … one must don the hat and whip of Indiana Jones to navigate and complete  a simple task

3.    What tourist attraction near you have you never seen?

All of them… I keep saying we are “new” to the area, but we have been here over 4 months now.  Home improvements have been on the forefront and do not leave much time or resources for gallivanting around town.

**I am so ready to gallivant around town again!**

4.    What are you avoiding doing right now?

Finishing my last semester of a Master’s… urgh.
Home improvements…. Too many.
Yard work…. Overgrown jungle outside.
Unpacking the remaining boxes from our Greece shipment… almost time to pack out again!


5.     Wine, beer or liquor?

Most Chaplains and their wives do not drink… depending on their denomination

however, for this milspouse blog post I will participate…

#1 requires a various partaking of all three libations…
cooking: wine 
laundering: wine
lawn care:  cold beer

#2 tri-care navigating starts with a mellowing glass of wine and by the end leads to a highball glass full of hard liquor

#3 none… need to be completely sober when working on the house… nothing worse than a paint job from an unsteady hand!

#4 requires all… not at the same time, but definitely consecutively!




It’s been fun … look forward to seeing you next week!

Blessings,

Yeah, Tricare certainly doesn't want to make things easy for us.

TriCare is a blessed curse!
