New Challenge!

February 11, 2010 | 2 Comments

One of the fun things about being an Army Family is that you get to move – a LOT! And, in our case, you get to move all over the place. Every house is a new organizational challenge.
This house is no exception. The problem is, as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, [...]

You tell me.
I spent ten months in the desert. Now, this is my eight block evening walk.
Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.

Things I have discovered the awesomeness of in the last two weeks:
Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons
Cave of the Winds
Garden of the Gods, Colorado
And, best of all…
Trader Joe’s
I was told this was civilized country and that is the truth.  For it’s size, El Paso has nothing.  Here in the Evergreen State, we have everything.  [...]

So what’s new?  We are still waiting for orders.  Nice.
Friday’s my birthday and the annual case of pissed off has come early.  Nice.
I’m lonesome, bored and grumpy.  In fact I am probably lonesome because I’ve declared myself mostly unfit for human consumption.  Last week, we went to get Texas Drivers’ licenses (yup, I’m fixin’ to [...]

The mood here in Juarez del Norte is thick.  Thick with stress, thick with unexpressed anger, thick with everything that accents the sucky parts of Army life.  It’s assignment time (well, two to four months ago was assignment time).  There are those with unwelcome assignments, impending deployments, etc.  There are those for whom the Army [...]

Updates – Because I Know You Want to Know…

A few weeks ago, Becca blogged about the atmosphere here in HP, TX.  And she’s 100% correct.  People are tired.  Some of me us consider the past 8 months a total waste of time, are tired of hearing complaints about it and would like to thank the Army for screwing with them on this level [...]

Teasers…

I’ll work on getting you a few more in the next couple of years. I promise.
In the “What I Had For Lunch” category, things are going [...]

I know that apologies and hollow sentiments are meaningless to my three blog readers so I will not trifle with them before the big blog post before another break.  Thanks, however, for stopping by.
Things in SATE land have been quite chaotic to say the least for the past several months.  Summer vacation, as parents everywhere [...]

Day -6

March 31, 2008 | 2 Comments

The Army has this way of numbering training days that I find amusing. Sarge and I get to go to some Army training (yes, both of us) next week. We fly Sunday which, if there is training would be considered Day 1 (I think it’s zero day if there’s inprocessing only). So [...]

Progress!

I humbly bring you the first installment of Destination Organization.
First, I offer you the before pictures of our entertainment center area. Specifically, these photos are of the space where DVDs are shelved.

As you can see, the number of DVDs exceeds the available storage space to the point where DVDs are piled up on the [...]
