Hello World!

I always thought of myself as computer savvy. After all, having my very own Commodore 64, on which I typed my fourth grade book reports, qualifies me as savvy, right? Well, somewhere between flipping the 5 1/2 inch floppy disk from the boot side to the run side, technology got away from me. And now, I'm the last one of my friends to have a blog. No longer! Here we go!

I also used to think of myself as somewhat of a writer, so I have been itching to start a blog for some time now. However, in reality my writing skills are mediocre at best. But that's okay. I get the fun of sharing my stories and you'll just have to suffer through my ramblings. Since I am a big scrapbook nerd, you'll also get to see plenty of pictures from my crazy life.

A little about me...I am a certain number of years old, married to the hottest soldier in the US Army! We'll call him Stretch; he's 6'4" and bullet-proof!


We have two beautiful daugthers, let's call them Squid (13) and the Bear (10). They are totally goofy, and most of the time, really sick of each other. Typical sisters! But oh how my heart swells when, on the rare occassion, I hear them laughing and playing together.


As most of you know, I spend a stinking-dang lot of time at work, which includes the oh-so-fantastic commute to and from! Having precious few hours at home is one of the biggest reasons I haven't started this blog before now (oh, and Stretch's ebay habit that occupies the computer a lot. Love you babe!). At some point down the road, I want to include a special feature in my blog where I'll regale you with tales of my workday. I think I'm going to call it "Occupational Hazards with Alice". I really hate that most of my life is spent at the office, but I look at it as entertainment to keep from going insane. You'll get to enjoy the humorous parts of my day without punching the clock and enduring the painful stuff. It will be so fun for you! Stay tuned.

Inevitably, you'll also be fed shameless plugs for my scrapbook business. Not too much, but just enough. More on that another day.

Hopefully this blog will come together and be pleasing to the pallet. For now, I'm just working out the bugs. Hang with me. I'll get there.
