Pictures of my HUZ!

For those of you who've been asking: Rob is doing great! (30 more days!!!) He's joined a hash house out in Iraq and as usual, everyone loves him. He's been the Hare a few times and earned his "hash name" (which I will not be printing here) Pause: for those of you who are seriously confused, google "hash" or "hashing" and you can read all about it. Our site requires research from time to time. We find it keeps you fresh.
If my ADD doesn't get the best of me, I'll post a picture of him with this entry.

Moving On: Tomorrow is also my sister's 29th birthday (dun Dun DUN!) I'm taking her out bowling with some friends this weekend. You know...if her back doesn't go out on her... I hear that happens to old people. (Zing!) Man I love being a little sister.

Additional Non-related Thoughts By Danielle:
Is anyone else out there still watching Grey's Anatomy? If so...were you secretly hoping that Grey was going to drowned over the past few weeks? No?....oh...me either...
No seriously, I don't mean to sound sadistic, but it is FAKE and I've hit my limit with Meredith's whining. If five minutes could pass on the show where we don't have to hear her go on and on about McDreamy and her relationship problems, well... let's just say it wouldn't be the worst thing. Although it was pretty obvious she would pull through. Otherwise the show would have to change their name to "... Anatomy".

Sorry that reading this entry has been a lot like Channel Surfing... like I said; ADD. ;-)

Mr. and Mrs. Potownley Head

Well it's getting a little warmer and the ice is finally melting. I've been dying to get outside and throw around the frisbee...also possibly take Scout to the dog park so he'll stop following me around the house like "Children of the Corn". The new job is going well and keeping me busy. My office is full of sarcastic people - which is a little sice of heaven for me.
Laura and I have decided it's "Sister Weekend". We just got back from the mall where we purchased Mr. Potato Heads (don't roll your eyes. you know you wish you'd thought of it first).

This is our"loose interpretation" of the Townleys! Love you honey!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Wow, so really- this Valentine's Day in no way comes close to last year- but all things considered (Rob being in Iraq) it wasn't so bad. Work was closed, thanks to the crazy ice storm, so Jessica and I spent hours in the new craft room catching up on scrapbooking. Rob sent me flowers (he's my favorite husband ever), and had gourmet meals delivered to our front door- so for dinner I had filet mingon with a salad and a twice baked potato (SERIOUSLY my favorite husband ever). As if that wasn't enough, Josh and Heather (friends of ours) stopped by to give me flowers and chocolates "in lieu of Rob's absence". And later this evening, while watching syndicated television/ talking on the phone with another military wife (strength in numbers, ladies) the Dz's invited me over to watch a movie.

Here I was all prepared to spend today alone - this being the day of LUUUUV - and my friends were all over the place!
You guys are sweet. And as my Spanish candy hearts say (that's right, you can buy them in Spanish now) - TE AMO!

P.S. it's late and I'm sure I spelled everything wrong....yeah, I reeely dont kare.

History Repeats Itself

You might remember Feb 13th of last year when I flew out to see Rob in Africa for Valentine's Day. (Pause: Unless you and your sweetie personally saved the world on Valentine's Day, I still claim that we hold the title for the best one yet). Anyway, while I will not be flying out this year (obviously) the weather catastrophe from last year has reared it's ugly head again. Fortunately this time the only trip I'll be missing out on is to the gym. Cause really... ice+snow = popcorn+movies!

40 days and 40 nights

That's how long we have until Rob comes home.... That's also how long it took God to flood the entire earth. So...yeah.....

I'm hanging out at the casa de Townley today... I've been on a movie-watching heist over the last few days. It got so bad last night that I actually watched "My Girl". I feel like that is a desperate cry for help- or should I say heat. Hibernating in the winter doesn't do it for me.. it needs to warm up outside already.

Baby it's cold outside.

Just thought you guys in the southern part of the US would like to know. As of 4pm in Maryland- it's literally ONE DEGREE outside.


....global warming my a$$.

Fargo. Yeah.

So... yesterday I cleaned our house from top to bottom and decided to do 'dinner and a movie' at home with my dog. I borrowed Fargo from my neighbors (who own every DVD known to man) and proceeded to watch what I THOUGHT was a movie about either a hockey team or sled dogs.

Yeah. Just in case you ever wanted to rent that to watch with your kids, you should know; It ain't about hockey, folks. I'd like to cite the most disturbing point of the movie which involved a human inside of a wood chipper. Yeah, that won't keep you up at night....
I'm going to go rent something a little less depressing, like Titanic.

alright already!

Okay, I'm posting this specifically for someone at work who HOUNDS me daily to post pictures of the craft room... (*ahem*)
I was going to do the whole "before and after" thing... but I can't access the before photos right now (re: I'm too lazy to do that) so here are the 'afters'

Don't think it hasn't dawned on me that it takes a very secure man to let his wife paint a room lavender. :-)
Hope you like it, Honey!

I'm bringing sexy back

Well, as predicted, this past week was NUTS! I was working long hours at the new job because my yearly check-ups (doc, dentist, etc) are all set up for the same time of year so I can get them all over with. But with my job being brand new, I have no PTO saved up, so I've been making up hours like a champion! I have a serious computer tan. (I'm hot like that).
Anyway, glad that's over!
Rob FINALLY got the package that a bunch of us have been working on since November! We made about 5 short videos on DVD (The new macs have a sweet movie editing feature complete with sound track, credits, etc.) and sent them off to him in Iraq. I hadn't mentioned it before because our friends made me swear I'd keep it a surprise. Rob and I are not good at keeping surprises from each other, so this is pretty monumental. If all of the participants consent, maybe we'll post the blooper reel on youtube or something. Stay tuned for that one!
My other project has been our (re: my) craft room- which is finally complete, but I seem to be too busy to take a picture of... I'll work on that this weekend.
The only other news I have is that Rob comes home in roughly 48 MORE DAYS! Or, as Rob puts it; "NEXT MONTH! (there's a chance we're already getting excited about that one).
