Really? How Lazy Can We Get?

The ladies of our brigade are hosting a welcome for our brigade commander's spouse.  It will be at a local winery with a 'vineyard' type theme.  I'm a total novice at all things wine-related, so I spent some time this morning searching for ideas.  I came across this crazy contraption and couldn't help but share it with you!

Truly, I'm all for innovation and creativity.  I think our nation flourishes because of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our people.  But really, a wine glass holder necklace?!  Come on ... are we really so encumbered by holding a glass?  And, honestly, if you're apt to "soak a fellow party guest" as the ad describes, perhaps a little less wine would be a better solution for you than a portable wine trough.  I'm just sayin' ...

From the online ad:
With the Wine Glass Holder Necklace you can keep your hands free at parties by keeping your wine glass close at heart! If you talk with your hands a lot, you will never have to worry about soaking your date or fellow party guest again with the Wine Glass Holder Necklace! This clever little silicone sling leaves your hands free for all kinds of gestures and activities and holds a regular-size stemmed wine glass to your chest, giving you the freedom to snack and socialize as you sip!

Again, really!?!  Needless to say, I won't be purchasing this as a gift for our guest of honor, but if you have and love this device, I'd love to hear from you!  Perhaps I'm simply missing the finer aspects of a ground-breaking party favor?

Have a happy Wednesday!

    That's pretty darn crazy. Seriously?

    And also, I think that would spill pretty easily if you're walking around with it. Just saying! lol

TORCH and ADVON

Photo: ADVON returning from a year-long deployment. Okay, I have to admit that after 15+ years as an Army wife, I don’t know what ‘TORCH’ and ‘ADVON’ stand for. Something about advanced party … but there’s no ‘p’ for ‘party’ … so I just don’t know. I do, however, know what it means. It means your Soldier comes home FIRST!! We’ve never had the honor of either of those designations. My husband somehow manages to get himself into the ‘stay-behind-and-make-sure-all is-well-out-here’ job and comes home late or last. Not that I’m complaining, though, as I am happy these TORCH and ADVON folks get here and get the place ready for everyone else to come home. In a way, it’s reassuring to me. The wheels are turning, the process has begun … our unit actually is coming home and coming home soon! Homecoming becomes reality, not just a long-sought-after dream. It’s good to see our unit patch and our unit Soldiers back at home, on U.S. soil and on our Army installation. It’s heartening to w...

The Change of Command Ceremony

Last Friday, my Family and I participated in the 2nd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division change of command on Fort Hood, Texas.  Hubby became the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment and joined a wonderful group of "Red Dragon" Soldiers and Families.  It's a dream come true for us ... one of those things you hope in the back of your mind you'll get to do one day, but know realistically that the chances are slim you'll get to do it. When I first saw his name on 'the list' that the Army publishes, I was elated for him.  No one knows more than I do his passion for the Army and for the Soldiers in it.  He is a wonderful leader and cares so much.  We both knew that this would be the adventure of a lifetime.  We explained this new job to our two boys (ages ten and six) as best we could and they kept saying, "We'll have 500 new friends on Friday!" as their summary of the discussion.  =) The ceremony was amazing,...

A Letter to My Cousin and Friend

As I was cleaning out our home office today, I came across an old college notebook from a writing course I had taken at Baylor. Our assignment was to write a letter to someone filled with memories of time spent together. I had chosen to write to my cousin Lori and, although it was a rough draft, I just had to post it. I finished out the last part and laughed out loud at some of the superfun memories with Lori, my cousin and friend. Dear Lori, As I reflect on the time we have spent together, I remember so many wonderful memories with you. Laughter always comes first to mind because we have shared so much of it. We start out giggling over some trivial nothing and soon are rolling in teary-eyed, side-splitting, I-can’t-catch-my-breath laughter. Days later, we will laugh again when one thought triggers another and we think of the same funny thing. After all, we are ‘more funny repeated.’ Our memories together are vast and varied for they have been collecting since, well, basically fr...
