I really miss my family!

Posted in Furlough, Life on the Outside, The Single Life, tagged , , on October 12, 2009 | 15 Comments »

There is a Barlow Girl song called Here’s My Life that pretty much sums up how I feel every time I finish furlough and go back on the field.  For many reasons, this past furlough has been the most difficult time to return, so I find myself re-listening to this song and reminding myself why [...]

Meet My TJ…

Posted in A Few of My Favorite Things, The Single Life, tagged , , on June 15, 2009 | 8 Comments »

 Yep, this is TJ, and yes…I’m 34 and still have a teddy bear!  He is what I call my comfort zone.  
TJ has been with me everywhere I’ve been.  From Brazil to Africa…Europe to the Middle East; I don’t go anywhere without him.  
I don’t know how he handles all the tosses and turns that [...]

Yes! I’m a little bit meshuga (crazy)

Posted in Random Thoughts, The Single Life, tagged , , , on June 3, 2009 | 8 Comments »

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away I did something that was a bit hasty indeed.  I was in NY at the time when I came across a wedding dress that I absolutely fell in love with (on the Nordstroms website).  I thought to myself, “one day you will get married, and [...]

Relationships are hard!

Relationships are hard! 
Friendships, dating, marriage, family, or whatever kind they are there is one thing in common…..
Relationships are hard!

It seems like now matter how difficult it becomes or whatever pain they have caused, we seem to continue to dive back into them.  Sometimes I ask myself, “why?”  Why do I continue to trust after someone [...]

Fallbacks

Posted in My Musings, The Single Life, tagged , , , on April 27, 2009 | 10 Comments »

When I’m in a funk I have a few fallbacks that I tend to lean on.  These either put a smile on my face, make me laugh, or put me in a comfort zone that tends to lull away the issues at hand.  My typical fallbacks are (but not limited to):

Friends episodes
The original Star Wars [...]

Hurting for what I know to be right

Posted in My Musings, The Single Life, tagged , , on April 26, 2009 | 11 Comments »

Have you ever had to make a choice…knowing what you are choosing is right…but also knowing that you will suffer greatly for it?
I am struggling right now in a way I never have before. My heart is hurting and I am feeling so alone. I am bearing the burdens of the choice I made, [...]

SWF…apparently this is reason for alert at customs

Posted in Life on the Outside, The Single Life, tagged , on February 6, 2009 | 5 Comments »

If you ask me what my definition of heaven versus hell is, I can tell you for sure what Hell is…going through the airport security in Israel!  Thanks to a single, white, female some time ago who was contracted to do some damage in the Tel Aviv Airport, now we are all suspicious to them. [...]

Confessions of a Broken Heart

Posted in The Single Life, tagged , , , on September 4, 2008 | 8 Comments »

There are certain topics that I have purposely avoided writing about, one of them being issues of the heart. I tend to stick to surface subjects, occasionally putting something out there once in a while.  Today I have decided to delve right in.
I recently had an old wound re-opened, which made me realize it hadn’t [...]

My daily dilemma

Posted in The Single Life, tagged , on January 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Ironically, today my devotional was called Overcoming Lonliness. Though it said many things, this one in particular, caught my attention:
