I torture myself regularly looking at ticket prices to go back home! I know I won't be going anytime soon.
When hubs retires proper (maybe next year) we will have more flexibility, i'm just hoping that we will still be able to jump on a hop (military transport) to the UK then, with all the cuts happening, it may not be available then!

We have a lot of military families in our neighborhood (we're not too far from JBLM) and our next door neighbor did a military transport when her daughter graduated from high school a few years ago. They went to Europe and I was really envious of the fact that all four of them went for pennies! Of course they had tried to go a few months before and waited forever at the base and didn't make the "cut" to get on the plane, the downside, for sure! But while they aren't any perks, I've heard you can stretch out on those planes and that would be an attractive thing to me!

Had to smile at this.
NYC Councilman Publicly Flogged
Republican New York City Councilman Dan Halloran, who in 2009 became the first openly elected heathen in America, was reportedly publicly flogged for allegedly helping State Senator Malcolm Smith bribe his way onto the mayoral ticket. The New York Post reports that Halloran, who was arrested Tuesday in the bribery probe, was stripped to his waist, tied to a tree and flogged with a belt 11 times by leaders of his Theodish heathen religion. Halloran also reportedly had to engage in (and lost) a spear-throwing contest, in which he and another member hurled 7-foot-long spears at each other from a distance of 30 paces. Free country indeed.

Aww, you're all too sweet. 
I had another baby, got promoted at work (which severely limited my BE time because now I actually have to WORK when I'm at my job
), and spent time with the family.
How's everything here? Any drama I should know about?
