MilSpouse Friday Fill-In #33

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. During military separations (whether short or long) how do you keep yourself positive and motivated? submitted by Married/Single Parent 

I just tell myself over and over that this too shall pass and all deployments/separations must eventually come to an end.  Captain Husband likes to say that we're getting all of the hard stuff out of the way first; I sure hope he's right!
 
2. What is your favorite concert you have ever been to? submitted by Young but Not (Completely) Dumb 

Um...I can't remember.  I haven't been to an actual concert in almost a decade (though I've seen plenty of bands play in my friends' basements in the interim), so I'm going to have to go with the Warped Tour back in 2000--I remember having a great time there and there were a lot of different bands to take in.  Seeing Green Day perform live was definitely a highlight at the time.
 

3. What do you miss most about your "hometown"?  submitted by A Florida Girl and Her Soldier 

I miss having all of my family so nearby; most of my immediate and extended family (with the exception of my youngest brother) lives within a half an hour drive of my hometown.  I would love to be able to buy a summer house there at some point so that Sammy could spend quality time with his grandparents, uncles, and [future] cousins.

4. If you could run in any race, which charity would you choose to support? submitted by Wookie & Co. 

There are so many worthwhile charities out there that it's really difficult for me to choose just one...however, given the current political climate, I would most definitely don my running shoes in support of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

5.  You find out Willy Wonka is your father, what 3 course meal do you INSIST he create in that stick of gum?  submitted by A{muse}ing Mommy on a Pink Park Bench

Can I just skip the gum and take the great glass elevator out for a spin instead?
