I realize that everyone reading this blog is confused because the comments aren't working. I know that ruins your entire day. I'm implementing a new widget: disqus. But.. it's not cooperating. And importing my old comments to it has hidden them all! So.. sorry about that. Please know that I am working on it!
Update 17:36 I may just have to stop for the day. Yes... alllll day I have been working on this. G+ comments should be working until then... you know.. in case you've been dying to say something :)

Posh @ Play
I'm sure you guys have all figured this out by now, but I'm an independent consultant for a company called Perfectly Posh. (If you haven't heard -- check us out!)
Twice a year, two of the founders make their way around the country to hang out with the consultants and anyone interested in joining. Our company is still so young that the event was only around 50 people from the southeastern U.S. It's such a cool time to be a part of a business. We have less than 5000 consultants, and probably less than that are active. Plus, I've been with Posh since before the first "push" to 1000 consultants... watching the company grow has been amazing. It's been a year since my last event (which was the first convention) and it's always so refreshing to be around people who love Posh like I do. So seeing Ann and Andrew and my Posh sisters was a load of fun.
My friend Anna came with me. She drove from North Carolina just to hang out with me ... is that not the sweetest friend? We were neighbors when the Sarge and I were still at Camp Pendleton. She has three of Gracie's puppies: Moscato, Saison, and Lola. My allergies were kind of being lame, so we hung out in the house, ate junk food like it was going out of style (my stomach did not appreciate that, for the record!), and watched the entire first season of Orange is the New Black. Judge all you want.

It was a really great weekend.
I have been struggling a lot because really the only people I know are my neighbors. I found a fantastic church, but most of the members are much (much) older than I am. In fact...I'm pretty sure that all of the members who attend anything other than Sunday morning service are grandparents. Of adults.
Anyway, it was really nice to have a friend here, my age, to hang around for a while. I forget how nice it can be, even for an introvert like me.
I hope everyone is doing well out there in the blogosphere. My next post will be about J's last care package... but I have to wait until he gets it to post pictures. He's on to me!

The 'Stan
The Army Wife Housewife made a brilliant care package that I completely ripped off that inspired me. I present... the welcome to "Fabulous Afghanistan"! It was actually 3 boxes, and NO I did not decorate them all. Partly because I was under time constraints and partly because I'm lazy.
You may notice I basically jacked her idea for one flap completely. Yeah, well. She's brilliant :)
I realize this post is at least a month late, and even now I am about to send off the next one... but I finally felt ready to write. I've been in Arkansas for the past month, with some time in Dallas, seeing my sweet hubby off to the sandbox, or "the Stan" as he calls it. Gracie was not particularly excited about packing or leaving... but she was happy to see her daddy.
I've been thinking a lot about this blog, what I want to write about (if I want to have something specific), whether I wanted to keep it online, etc. First of all, yes, I'll keep it online. (Hold your applause.) Second, no, I haven't made any real decisions. But for the record, I want to write bible studies so.. that may be something that you'll be seeing around here eventually.
Y'all it is hard to write about daily life! (Especially when it's relatively boring around here!) I wish I was brilliantly funny, or crafty, or particularly gifted in something I could write about. But alas, I'm just a regular housewife. What is interesting about that? Maybe that is what's unique.. I'm average in a world where people are using Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook to prove how un-average they are. That's what I've been chewing on.
Anyways, happy days to you all. I'll be back soon with September's care package!
