Well it's "heavy dewing" here on the coast of Cali. That's not a word Dewing but the heavy marine layer has all the streets wet like rain; I can barely see the ocean!! I'm home alone all weekend hubby is working overtime as well.

Pam you put a bug in my hat...think I will do the same and make T's favorite 7 layer cookies, the batch is ginormous so he can share.

Doesn't look like we are going to Camp Pendelton for Thanksgiving due to the fact that T has duty the weekend after.

Ruth - it must be in the air today. I have brownies made and am getting ready to start on chocolate chip cookies! I'm going to give it a try and see if they hold up going coast to coast. I know J will wonder how I got his address. Ha, Mother's have ways. Especially Navy Moms with a forum. LOL

P-Bear's Mom - I honestlly believe that keyboards, especially laptop ones, are getting smaller. Kids nowadays don't even learn how to type the old Corel way. I watch my younger son type and he flies on the keyboard with both index fingers! Oh - and we are HUGE Dawg fans! ha, ha, but Tech is o.k. I work right across the interstate from the Tech campus and can actually look down on Bobby Dodd stadium from our office window. J and his father went to his first Tech game while he was on leave at the beginning of the month. One of his high school friends plays football for them and his Dad gave them tickets. He's our Rudy.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday! It's been a great one weatherwise here in Georgia.

I think San Diego is just as pretty as the Baja Coastline

I've never been there myself Chief88 - El Paso Texas is the furthest West I've been. I told Jamie he's going to have to get a Map either on Facebook or for his wall of all the places he's going to see.

After the test on Wed, J said they are now in Phase III. He spent Saturday in San Diego doing some tourist things. He sent me a text with a picture of the Pacific. Wow!! And it sitll looked cloudy although he said that was just a valley they went through. That Georgia boy lives for the sun!!
Comment by JudyB. on October 24, 2010 at 2:16am
PBMom, I wonder if platoon # 1 has a lot of older corpsman...an 88 score is not bad for his 1st; my cub is 25 yrs. old and he scored a 90. Talk away about what they are experiencing, Lord knows my cub does not like to elaborate at all...lol

Carol - I slept in until 8:00 a.m! Yoohoo! J did JROTC his Freshman year in High School and I remember driving up to Greenville, NC for a competition. Well, we didn't realize it was a district one with over a thousand kids competiing. It was huge!! I think that's when J started feeling the pull towards the military, much to my worry! I talked him out of it until he was 19 and after finishing up classes at college the first year, he called me and said he was going in. I couldn't be more proud of him, but I worry because he doesn't seem to like FMTB at all. It could be because he knows he's suppose to be in Italy right now!! Oh well, maybe after the first couple of weeks, he'll start feeling it.

Ruth VH, I heard about your cub through the grapevine...I have to tell you...IS YOUR CUB SOME SO RT OF SUPERMAN?? What did you feed him growing up. LOL OMG!!! I was reading a random members blog and there you were talking about your cub, I said I know her, like you were royalty or something...your cub should be for All his medals he has earned. Way to go!!

Carol T is corpsman too! So did I call a duty by the wrong name?! I dunno
Comment by JudyB. on October 23, 2010 at 12:25am
Carol, I too have heard from T...He was doing sweeps and is extremely tired but he has watch tonight. The weekend should be able to get caught up on sleep. I asked "are you still alive", he said barely!! lol
Comment by Becky (J's Mom) on October 22, 2010 at 10:53pm
J said he's had to watch what he eats for so long that sweets don't set well with his stomach anymore............except for Oreos!! I am going to check with him about a package, too. He mentioned he is storing some stuff in a friend's car also.

I found a little cheaper flights going into Orange County. It's a possibility~
