  3. You have a wonderful disposition to be celebrating one month down. I think being the spouse of one deployed has to be the hardest job in the world!
    I should probably try to come up with a great philosophical quote, but the one I love & use occasionally is "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore"

  4. I agree - you have a tough, tough job. And you handle it with so much grace!

    My favourite quote is from Helen Keller: "Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows."

  5. Wow! So, generous! Glad to celebrate with you that you are one month closer to getting hubby home. I can't imagine what I would do without mine for 7 months!
    I'm on a serious Gilmore Girls binge right now, and I can't get the nonsense quotes out of my head. So, here you go: "Il eck nostra, doska don." It's a reference to Anne Heche speaking an alien language and it makes me laugh so hard. Oh well, sorry if that made no sense!

  10. The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

  11. As "ruffly" as it can get....."Do or Do not, there is no try" - Yoda.

    Congrats on 1month! In the submarine community deployments are classified, and we are not allowed to tell anyone how long its been, or how long we have left to go. The really funny thing is, is when the 2yo is telling everyone in the Commissary "Daddy -Two Weeks" "daddy- Two weeks"...etc etc. You just have to hope no one important is listening, lest they change the date.

  14. Oh my goodness, I've been sitting here for 15 minutes just trying to decide which quote to use, I have a few. I love the colors in that fabric, and the patterns, gorgeous and soothing. Soooooo....... How about, 'Life is like an onion, you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you cry'. I don't know who it's from. And can I just throw in, 'MAN is in the forest Bambi.'. I like to say that at work when things get tense.

  15. "Charlie bit me and it really hurts!"

    From that viral Youtube video.

  16. What beautiful fabric! Thank you for being so thoughtful!

    A quote that I've always thought very wise is this...
    Use it up,
    Wear it out,
    Make it do,
    Or do without!

    This helps me when I want to spend more than I should...I really need to remember to be content with what I have. =)

  22. When my daughter was in the NICU for her first 4 days of life, the sign over her bed was "Each new day is a beautiful adventure." It has always stuck with me.

  23. people always seems to question me when i tell them that my name is Claire...there's nothing wrong with my name and i love it, mainly because i was named after my grandpa, that's right people, i said GRANDPA, his name was clair eugene, take the e from eugene and add it to the end of clair and you have CLAIRE.

    So this can only lead to my favorite quote from one of my favorite movies......

    "Yeah Claire...you know it's a fat girls name...those that were born fat and those that were once skinny and became fat"

    Original by the "Breakfast Club"
    Claire Standish: Claire. It's a family name.
    John Bender: Oh, it's a fat girl's name.
    Claire Standish: Oh, thank you.
    John Bender: You're welcome.
    Claire Standish: I'm not fat.
    John Bender: Well not at present, but I can see you really pushing maximum density. See I'm not sure if you know this, but there are two kinds of fat people: there's fat people that were born to be fat, and there's fat people that were once thin but became fat... so when you look at 'em you can sorta see that thin person inside. You see, you're gonna get married, you're gonna squeeze out a few puppies and then, uh...


    Thank for the great giveaway!
