Mil-Spouse Friday Fill-In #6

Note: As I said before, this post is scheduled since I am...busy. :)

This is probably only the second time I've gotten the Mil-Spouse Friday Fill-In done before Friday. HA! And it's all thanks to Wife of a Sailor who hosts the Friday Fill-Ins and who emailed me this week's questions a day earlier than normal so that I could participate. Without further ado:

1. What is a weird/funny superstition that you have? From A{muse}ing Mommy on a Pink Park Bench
I'm not really sure what would be considered a weird/funny superstition...I have to say though that thinking there's something watching me is probably weird.

2. What are your hopes and dreams AFTER the military? After all, we aren't in it forever! From Stetsons, Spurs and Stilettos

I haven't really thought about it much. It's still all pretty new to me, even after almost 3 years of being with my Husband. I won't think about it now, I'll think about that tomorrow. HA!
3. Since [this] month is National Apple Month (no, really!), I'd probably ask: What is your yummiest apple recipe? From NH Girl Displaced
I don't cook. So I really don't have a recipe. But one of my favorite apple recipes that my MOM makes is to core the apple, fill full of brown sugar and cinnamon. Put a pat of butter on top, place in bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for about 6-8 minutes or until tender. It was the best after-school snack, especially in the fall. :)
4. How long have you gone, as a military spouse without talking to your husband during service? From A Navy Princess and Her Little Sailors 
The longest I've gone is probably two weeks. It was horrible. 
5. I occasionally watch "When I was 17..." on MTV. So, what was significant about your 17th year of life? From Ashley Amazing
I really couldn't tell you anything significant that would interest you...I got my license when I was 17 and had my first and only wreck, so far *knock on wood*. That's about it...

That's it for this week's questions. I hope everyone has an awesome Friday and an awesome weekend! Happy Labor Day and all that jazz! For more Mil-Spouse Friday Fill-Ins and to participate, head on over to wifeofasailor.com and link up!
 

Flash Back Friday #2

Sorry this post is a little late. That new niece of mine is keeping us all a little bit busier. :) 

Anywho...Here are a few Flash Backs that you may remember...

T

These things were so good!

I

I actually bought a whole box of these on Valentine's Day this year. :) YUMMY!

T

This used to be the only game that our computer had...can you imagine if we were still stuck with only this game? I was horrible at it.

  No? Don't remember these? I actually bought two of them at the Good-will two weeks ago...they're still floatin' around.

That's all for this week. I'll try to find more and maybe even some accompanying pics from my childhood next week...we'll see. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Flash-Back Friday

Saw this Tuesday, over at The Un-Mom and had a good laugh. Mom turned me onto StumbleUpon and I've been feeling nostalgic ever since. Thought I'd post a few of the nostalgia that I remembered after seeing the ones posted at I'm Remembering!.

There's Bed-Bugs:

Here we are playing it:

That's me on the left, Amanda on the right and Mom's hand.

Side note: We used the bed for a Barbie bed after we lost all the pieces. :)

Remember 3D Doritos?? I loved those things...Maybe they'll make a come-back...

I wish I had one of these--Pillow-People:

Fuzz-ball stickers...I had one until recently, when the dog decided it was good chew-toy....sad day:

I loved to read books even then...here is one of my favorites:

Why do they not still make these?!?!

And these, we called high-tops, L.A. Gear Sneakers:

Here I am wearing mine..(in first grade)..freakishly-tall kid in pink/white striped thingy with the brown ponytail...squinting because undoubtedly, it was bright that day:

The other girl in the pink/white-striped dress is still my BFF!

And of course, who could forget the "Little Barrels of Juice":

And who didn't have stick-on earrings? My ears were pierced and I still had these!

So I totally expected Mom to still have these, but she threw them out a long time ago, she says:

And all school memories wouldn't be complete without one of these fortune tellers, I was so sure I was going to marry Steven Teal:

Speaking of school...remember these lunches? They were my favorite!!! who took a pic of their lunch??:

 And last, but not least, wax-bottle candy:

 I totally had some of these not too long ago. They were sitting on the dashboard of Jeremy's car, he took a curve too fast and the went sliding out the window...last time I've seen them. :(

Well, that's it for my Flash-back Friday. Hope everyone has a great weekend! This was so much fun, I think I'll do this every Friday! Feel free to join in! :)

NOTE: For some reason, the pictures don't always show up. :( I'm not sure why this is happening. I do apologize.
