Awards and a Sick Dog

This past week I received a couple of awards. I'd like to thank Tori and Mrs.Sparkly Stilettos for the awards.

Here's the first one:



I'm going to pass this on to 5 of my daily favorite reads.

1.Katlyn at Running Through Life- she's about to go into the Air Force and I'm very excited for her. I'm crossing my fingers that she'll get stationed somewhere close to me.
2. KD at Life of the Wife- she has a naughty dog and likes to drink wine like yours truly. What more can I say?
3. Steph at Adventurs of Jon and Steph. I love her photos, she's a fellow Okie and one of these days I hope I can meet her in person (and I hope she'll cut my hair too)
4. Lindsay at And We'll Just Laugh Along the Way. One of the first blogs I started reading and one of the few bloggers I've had the pleasure of meeting. She's as awesome in person as she is on her blog.
5. No list would be complete without my friend Sara at When In Rome. To put it simply, she's awesome. I wish she were stationed with me right now because I know we'd be having a great time together. I miss her bunches!

Now for the next award:



You're supposed to give this to 15 new blogs you've discovered, but I'm going to do .

1.Blonde Glambition
2. Yeah, Honestly

Go check them out!

Boomer was sick last night with some sort of tummy issue. He threw up no less than 6 times on the couch and on the bed. Ew ew ew. Thank Goodness he is feeling better today!

Last night I went out with a few friends for a meal at a local chicken place. It was good, but much different then say going to KFC in the States. Remember the military wife who complained in this post? Well she was at this dinner, didn't really complain, but had a few interesting things to say. More on that tomorrow!

Girls Night Out

Last night I attended a sort of girls night out function with a friend of mine and some of her friends. I'm not going to lie and say I was really excited about it, because initally I wasn't, but once I went I was glad I did.

We started out at my friend's house and then drove to a local winery. It was awesome! You grab a little cup at the entrance and just go around to all of these huge containers that are labeled with what kind of wine they are. We had a good time just sampleing wine and pitching an idea for a new TV show "The Real Housewives of XX, Italy". In all honesty I think it'd be a real hit. Half Army Wives (with accurate information) and Half Real Housewives. What amazed me though was that none of them had kids and they were all pretty close in age to me. Unheard of usually in the Army. Not knocking people with kids at all, please understand that, but in today's military I find it hard to find women my age who don't have children.

I didn't leave the winery empty-handed though. I now have one bottle of Moscato in my posession and two bottles of fragolino (strawberry wine).

Two of the girls went home to Skype with their husbands and three of us went back to my friend's house for some pasta and more conversation. I liked the other girl that went back with us, but she was a huge complainer. Her main beef was that my friend and I get to talk to our husbands almost daily. I really didn't know what to tell her, I didn't think I should apologize, because sometimes that's just the luck of the draw. I could tell it really bothered her though because she brought it up constantly throughout the night. I liked her, but I can't see myself being friends with her. You can tell she's a very nervous individual who's afraid of being in a foreign country and to be honest I have NO idea how she's going to survive this deployment.



(Penis shaped pasta from Venice..no idea...this was the only pasta in the house)

Overall it was a great night though and I can't wait to do it again.
