Is the glass half empty, half full, or twice as large as it needs to be?

I love learning more about my fellow MilSpouse bloggers. So I created a weekly meme. Each week, I’ll post a list of questions on Thursday (so you can have your blog ready on Friday). Come back here on Friday (like today!) and enter your blog post into Mr. Linky below so others know who else participated and we can all visit other blogs. Please leave a comment too!

This week’s questions are:

1. If you were a famous movie star, what types of movies would you star in?
Romantic comedies. I love them. Plain and simple.

2. What is a vacation you would like to take if money were no object?
I would like to do an around-the-world trip and hit highlights such as Scotland, England, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Russia, Italy, Australia, Japan, China, Argentina and everything in between. (I cheat. I know. It’s my question. Back off ;) )

3. Did you have pets growing up?
Oh my yes. I was born into a house with a dog. Then we added another. And a cat. And a pony. (Actually, I think the pony came before the cat). And then it went all downhill from there. Cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, turtles, horses… I had them all. And at one time… all at once!

4. What do you do for exercise?
Right now, I’m still on light exercise from a shoulder injury that I’m in physical therapy for. However, I do love my aerobic classes and just group classes in general.

5. What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever received as a MilSpouse?
Don’t listen to rumors. Don’t get involved in that crap. And don’t, for the love of peace, tell other spouses in your boat/division/etc when you get calls/emails/etc. That invites trouble to begin with.

This week’s questions are:

1. What do you usually want to know about someone when meeting them for the first time?
I guess it depends on who I’m meeting and in what capacity. If it’s a MilSpouse, I like to know where they came from, when get got married, where they have been stationed, etc. If it is in a business capacity, I’d like to know if they know what they are talking about ;)

2. Would you rather know everything about your spouse, or be regularly surprised?
The “big” stuff I’d rather know. The little things… I’d rather be surprised.

3. If you could live in one city for the rest of your life, where would you live?
There are still areas I’d like to visit, but so far, I want to stay right here in Western Washington. I love it!

4. When you go out of town, what one material thing do you ALWAYS take?
Well, since Huzzy got me one for Christmas in September… my Nook. That way, I can take many books with me without having to lug them with me.

5. Using no more than 10 nouns, and ONLY nouns, describe yourself.
Why do I do this to myself? Okay, here goes:

-Animals, nature, military, Michigan, country, MilSpouse, friend, wife, daughter, sister.

First of all… thanks everyone for being patient while we took a break for the holidays and then I took a break last week to spend time with Huzzy. It’s wonderful to have him home now for 10 days.  Just five more weeks and we’ll have been our all-time record of being together at one time since getting married nearly two years ago! And I’m not counting the five days I’ll have to go away for a long drill weekend… because that would depress me.

This week’s questions are:

1. What are you looking forward to most in 2011? from Jessica Lynn Writes
I’m looking forward most to spending more than five or six weeks at one time with Huzzy. Two years (next month!) into our marriage and I’m reading to count time together in MONTHS not weeks and days.  I’m also looking forward to buying a house with Huzzy! We are in negotiations right now!

2. What is something random you do on a boring night when your significant other is away? from Lovin Ma Soldier
Watch crap TV like Teen Mom and Hoarders. Or read trashy novels. ;)

3. What has been your greatest adventure as a MilSpouse?
My greatest adventure was moving across the country (from Michigan to Washington state), leaving my family and friends and all I have ever known to live with Huzzy. And then for him to leave just weeks later and me to learn to make it on my own in a new place.

4. What is the ugliest fashion trend you ever bought into (I’d like to make fun of you, so can you please provide a picture as well)? from More Than An Army Wife
I don’t have a picture of it, but my mom gave me a perm when I was in 1st grade. It totally turned into a mullet. There’s no photo because my mom was horrified of the the results (yeah, our school pictures were the next day… we got different pictures later at WalMart for “school pictures”). It was that bad. Ah, to be a child of the 80s.

5. What was the high point of last month?
The high point of last month was my mom visiting for a week.  I was excited to show her my new home state. Another high happened just 4 hours before the end of the month (and coincidentally, the end of the year): I was told Huzzy was FOR SURE coming home the next day and that I’d be on the dependent’s cruise and get to go on the submarine for six hours as they did the last bit drive home.
