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

​Preparing for the PMP Exam: A Lesson in Over-Preparation by Traci Cook

Everyone has their own learning style so I can only share with you what worked for me to prepare for the PMP exam ... A couple of caveats before I share …  I am an over-preparer. I was slightly terrified to take this exam and likely spent too much money and used too many resources for a normal, non-extreme studier. I justified that I had saved thousands of dollars on a PMP boot camp due to the gracious program at Syracuse and IVMF so I spent a little more on additional resources than I likely would have normally. I learn best when I can see and hear and feel concepts presented in a variety of ways. Because of this, I like to have lots of options. Audio books, podcasts, blog posts, videos, books (printed and virtual), online courses … I go “full immersion” and use all these things to prepare. I satisfied the 35 hours of instruction by enrolling for PMP Certification Preparation through Syracuse University's "Onward to Oppo...

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,...
