Wife of a Sailor posts a series of questions every week to help the milspouses get to know each other and help other people see milspouses as regular people, not just stereotypes (ok, well that is more my objective).
Here are the first set of questions for 2011 and my responses:
What are you looking forward to most in 2011? from Jessica Lynn Writes
There are lots of things to look forward too this year, both personal, professional and familial goals are being striven for. I'm not sure I could choose just one as most important. I hope to have an abstract to submit to Goldschmidt in Prague this spring, that would be nice, or a paper published, or finish my experiments. I want Senior Jefe to finish school. I hope my FIL gets his play financed and that it opens this year. I hope my Dad loses the weight he needs to and that my sisters both get to go fun places while they teach English.
What is something random you do on a boring night when your significant other is away? from Lovin Ma Soldier
This is almost every night for us. My family jokes that we are on inverse dog years (i.e. in 7 yrs of marriage, if you added up all the time we've spent together, it would be just over 1 yr). We'll see if they're right. My 7th anniversary is this summer.
Most nights I read. I work. I play with my dogs. I spend time with my friends.
What has been your greatest adventure as a MilSpouse? fromMisadventures of An Army Momma
I can't say I have had all that many adventures in my role as a milspouse. Senior Jefe has had plenty. As a scientist, I spent a spring working in the hot springs in Costa Rica and I was blasted in the face by a fumarole, which could have killed me. This year I am going to HI and training to make a trip to Everest next year (crossing fingers). Before I got married, my biggest adventure was working in Albania along the Kosovo border when the region was still really unstable and NATO was still on the ground keeping the peace there as refugees flooded across the border. I had a body guard, driver, field assistant and interpreter in order to do my research. It makes getting a scientific passport to work in Costa Rica a cake walk by comparison.
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'm not fashionable enough to have ever bought into a fashion trend. I gave up after the pegging the pants thing in the 80s. I tend to favor jeans/sweats and t-shirt most days with crocs, because I have to wear comfy clothes that cover me for lab work.
What was the high point of last month?
The high point of last month was passing my Ph.D. qualifying exams. I hope this year is less stressful, but equally as challenging.
