O Tannenbaum

after a coma inducing Thanksgiving meal we came home and anxiously awaited the lighting of our tree. Ok, we weren't that anxious...we watched The Pirates That Don't Do Anything and ate popcorn. After Pookins and Mago asked 1,298,976 times if we could turn on the tree I relented.

A new tradition?

We celebrated our second consecutive Thanksgiving without DevilDoc. Last year we had the pleasure of sharing the day with some friends who also had deployed hubbies (and one who did not, HI BOB!) This year I opted for low key and decided to try out the Silver Dolphin Bistro on Sub base Pearl Harbor.



We enjoyed a wonderful meal of turkey, ham, dressing, green beans, sweet taters, mashed taters, rolls, shrimp cocktail and corn. There was pumpkin, apple, blueberry and peach pie, a HUGE pineapple cake with waaaaaaay too much frosting and an ice cream bar. They also had every drink you could have imagined and I am happy to report they have Coke Zero on tap ;) Oh, and let me add all THREE of us at for $6.35..total, not apiece!!!



I hope they do something similar at Christmas time because I know where we'll be going!

Oh, and here is the line of crazies at Best Buy on Kam Hwy. This was about 430p local time.



I leave you with a disturbing picture, the effects of tryptophan

You'll have to turn your head

because I cannot turn the frame of the video! I filmed it in the right position, or so I thought! If you know how to fix the orientation please let me know and I'll email you the file.

Home sweet Home?

I got these pics from DevilDoc yesterday. Apparently he has created quite the "man space" in the middle of nowhere! He says the only reason he leaves his room (other than work related stuff) is to call home or use the computers! Quite the setup I guess?!

Dear Daddy

I drawed Indiana Jones and Star Wars. I drawed a Star Wars picture for you; it has Darth Vader and Skywalker on it. The Indiana Jones picture has Mutt Williams and Marian. I miss you. Love, Pookie.

The last time I saw your face

it looked like this




you took it with your phone and sent it to me in a text message as I was driving alongside the bus that would take you away from us for so long. We miss you! The boys want to see you! Send pictures if/when you can.

History is made

and I wish my babies were old enough to really understand what this day means for our country. Man, it feels so good to be an American today. I am so proud of our country, our military (specifically DevilDoc!) and my fellow Americans who got out the vote today! Let's move forward with President Obama; I'm excited for the next 4 years.

Now..onto picture update for DevilDoc <3
