MilSpouse Friday Fill-In

In an effort to learn more about fellow MilSpouse bloggers, Wifey from Wife of a Sailor started this weekly meme;  here are this week's questions.

1. A different twist on last week's question. This week, the first question is: what’s the nicest thing a MILSPOUSE has ever done for you? (brought to you from navy_smurfette) 

I'd have to say it was when my friend, Lindsey, volunteered to watch Sammy for a few hours so I could go out and get my eyebrows and toes tamed for my brother's wedding.  I don't really know many other MilSpouses in real life.

2. How often do you drive faster than the speed limit? 

All the time.  I have a lead foot--it's an inherited condition.

3. Did you have a nickname in school? If so, what was it?

Not really, at least not one that anyone used to my face.  A few people called me L-cubed because all of my initials are the same, but that's about it (now the name of this blog makes a little bit of sense, right?).  My name doesn't really lend itself to nicknames, which is part of the reason why I like Samuel for our son--he could be Sam, Sammy, Sam-a-lam-a-ding-dong, etc.

 4. If your life was a book, what would the title be and how would it end? 

This is probably the hardest question yet; I'm quite fond of my tag line, "Adventures in Embracing the Suck," so I think that would make a good book title.  Hopefully the book would have a happy ending in which Captain Husband and I and our small brood of children make it through the suckage relatively unscathed. The book would end with us embarking on our next adventure: starting our own antique business. 

5. Look back (in your planner if you have one) to September 14th... what did you do that day?

This year's September 14th was empty, which likely means I spent most of the day in my pajamas taking care of Sammy, possibly with a Target or Babies-R-Expensive run thrown in there.  Just for fun, I checked my planners from 2007, 2008 and 2009: nothing going on then, either.
