Yep, wrapping presents was not one of my talents either :( Boy, I can bake as long as I have a recipe to follow! Love Paula Deen, but her recipes are so fattening! I miss my skinny, before kids days!! I was that stay-at-home mom chasing two boys that were only a year apart (my little irish twins). But then I went to work behind a desk, turned 30, got pregnant at 38 and it was all downhill from there!! Ha, ha, pretty much my life in a nutshell. LOL. However, I did marry a wonderful man that can cook, bake, clean, change lightbulbs and even re-do an entire kitchen all by himself!! He truly is a prize but I'd never tell him that! He's also prior service and is very intense about keeping everything neat and orderly. J was that way on leave in October. But it only took about two days for him to start leaving stuff laying all over!

Chief, I would love to wrap your presents. I have even crocheted an Afghan, I also love to bake more than I love to cook; and God has blessed me with a third eye for interior design. It started back when I was 16 and my first job was dressing windows & mannequins; then I learned the technique of mannequin modeling and bridal shows. Boy, that was the life skinny as a toothpick and never had to worry about putting on weight cause I was always going...

So Chief, In your opinion where should I send these pkgs. I want to send them to where they would be the most benefit. I am also looking for Xmas bags that I can put the zip-lock bags in so they will stay fresh. I have included the following : 1 pkg. of 30 wipes, several blow-pops, lemon heads, 1pkg jerky bits, bit of honey, toosie rolls, whylers water aids, and hard Xmas candies.

My number one enemy is a sewing machine! My Mom loved to sew and tried so hard to teach me and for someone with a lot of patience, well, she lost it with me!! Wouldn't let me go near her sewing machine again. EVER!! I just never had the talent I guess! My oldest sister sews and crochets and all that fun stuff. At least they aren't alcoholics though!
Chief88 - Wow you are wonderful. I'm sure you have put smiles on many faces.

Jacqueline, Still coming in 2nd means he gave it extra effort and for that he should be noticed and You have a right to be proud and to share your Glee!!
I wish I could sew...when I was young my parents sent my sisters and I for private sewing lessons and the woman unbeknown to anyone was an alcoholic and was going through a divorce so needless to say I didn't learn very much and she left a bad taste in my mouth for it...to bad because later in life I tried again to learn, but always got really bad headaches. But I do up really nice present wrapping so I think I will stick to what I do best. lol

Jacqueline, Thank You for the referral. I will contact Molly's adopt a Sailor group. Gosh 55lbs on K's back and he had to run with it!! Well coming in 2nd is something to be very proud of...for sure!!

Yes, they took test #4 on Monday. Ziggy is a "Red Nose Terrier Pit", my then 19yr.old daughter replaced a "going nowhere boyfriend", with Ziggy and than pawned him on me when she started getting her life together by securing 2 part jobs.
Just for the record, T is always in competition with himself when it comes to test taking; this last test #4 he had mandatory study class the night before. Around 8pm he called me and said "Mom please pray for me that I just pass this test", because it is going to be "real hard"!! They all had to get up real early for a issue of some gear then at 6am had to take the test...God love these Corpsman!!
Does anybody know the address for the "sandbox"?! While waiting for Ziggy in surgery yesterday, I bought care pkges. for 20. I would like to get them off so they arrive before Christmas.

It must be working Judy!! T has done very well on his tests! I'm not sure what J's score was. He just sent me a quick text to say he passed and it was hard. Take care of that little puppy....
It was cold here in Atlanta the last couple days, but today sunny and mid-70s. I love the Falls here. I'm trying to get into the work groove since I'm off on Mondays, today is the start of my week.

T asked me to Pray before every test...so God has his back...and I do every hour on the hour before the test and after. I just ask for God to give T clarity to remember which answer goes to each question....and God is happy too!!
Everyone have a Great day!!
I had my Ziggy 8month old sterilized yesterday, so it will be Mom(me) nursing him back to health today!! He is such a loving pup...

I just heard from J - he passed the latest test but said it was very hard. I asked him yesterday if he was tired of studying. That's all he has done for 7 months!
