Oops!

Obviously I forgot I had a blog sometime in the last 9 days. Was it because I started school? Nope, that's not until Tuesday. Dang. No excuses. Well, maybe one. Work has been kind of special this week, not with kids, just with silly drama. I suppose that's what happens when you work in a predominately female profession, right? So after school it's been Happy Hour time. Apparently this additional drinking time has left no blogging time. Oh well, priorities. (Calm down Mom, I usually wait until 4:30pm to start drinking. That makes it okay.)

So while I was on a mission this week I missed a very important day- DELURKING DAY! Oh man, I hate lurking. For awhile there I was pretty good about calling people out via Google Analytics, but I haven't done that in awhile. So here is your chance before I start again. Delurk!


Please let me know who you are! If you read my blog, I bet we have something in common. (Or at the very least, it's obvious that you have wonderful taste.) I want to come to your blog too! So, it's time... Come out, come out, wherever you are!

And by the way, I have a secret number in my head. If the comment number reaches it, then I have a giveaway for one of the commenters! So even if I know you, it just might behoove you to comment. :)
(Don't worry Melissa, it's not your prize. I am sending that to you. This year. Promise.)

I think I have commented before so I am not sure if you consider me a lurker or not.

Classy Fab Sarah said...

I don't think I'm a lurker but I couldn't NOT comment... Happy De-Lurker Day!

sbux said...

Same here.
I think I introduced myself already.
But as you said people already known to you are welcome to comment as well....here I am.
I am following because I have great taste. :D
Oh and because I like to read about experiences of Americans in Germany since I ( a German) spent some time (2 years) in the States and I do like to compare. :)

I do blog as well but I am not good at it at the moment.
I blog about my life as a student, and in general, IF I get around to blog, that is. :)

Sarah said...

Same for me, I don't comment very often, but I still read your blog:)

Brandi said...

Um I comment, but I will delurk again. :D HII I'm Brandi. :D

The Mrs. said...

oooooooooh I wanna prize.

jamie hainline said...

I'm jamie. i resently found your blog and really enjoy reading it.

Jane said...

I WANT A PRIZE!

wifeofasailor.com said...

I comment, so I'm not one of them!

SarahEileen said...

So, I've kinda forgotten about my blog lately, too. I can't figure out why. I've missed reading your ramblings, tho! :)

Jessica Lynn said...

I, too, think I've commented before :) Happy (belated) de-lurker day!

Cassie said...

Ditto above. Hi again!

Amanda said...

I guess I would be classified as an occassional lurker :) I visit a couple times a week and normally comment on your "opinion" posts. But I think I lurk more than I comment. We normally have the same opinion on most things. I actually found your blog looking for other military spouse blogs after I started my own.

And, I too seem to have been having more happy hours after work than normal the past couple months :)

Jessica said...

I have commented a few times here and there, but I'm not the best commenter ever. I am a faithful reader though :)
4:30 is totally an acceptable time to start drinking. So is noon in my book, but 4:30... definitely!

Anita K. said...

Okay - I confess I am a lurker. What we have in common is you are from Texas and I am, too.

Allison said...

Happy Hour is a MUST for teachers : ) We actually listed "sociable" as an adjective to describe our team yesterday... Hope things are going well, lady!

Ashley said...

I love give aways!!!

Jessie said...

Yea! You're back! Oh how I miss you calling out your stalkers.. your conversations with your students.. and your travels! :)

Jayme said...

Hi there! I am a fellow military wife, and I have really enjoyed reading your blog - I linked to it through another blog I read, and then became a follower. Thanks for sharing your entertaining stories with us!

Our Life Together said...

Love your blog, don't always comment :). Husbands both in the air force.

Katie said...

well at one point I was a lurker, but then I came forward, and it has been great ever since ;)

Allison Hasel said...

I lurk, but I've unlurked a handful of times. I'm a fellow milspouse!

Emily said...

Oh sad I think that makes me a lurker? I don't I've commented before.. but I can't remember?
I guess I should say a little about me then! hehe I'm Emily, I'm a Navy and I love reading your blog :)

SCH said...

haha I love how you approach things!

Happy De-lurking to you!

K said...

I think I may have commented once or twice.. I'm not 100% sure.. but I do read your blog often. I'm a military spouse also btw :)

Delurker Day is a great idea! I can't believe I missed it too!

Elliot + Brandy Wilson said...

I'm a lurker. Yep. Not gonna lie. I also have a blog, but most of it is geared towards family so it's just a ton of photos until we move back to the States (Chi-town!) in March. I'm a teacher... or was until my husband's job temp. moved us to Germany for 6 months and I've since found blog after blog of similar people in similar situations. The difference is, I'm moving back in 2 months...

You seem fantastic. Thanks for sharing your life. I especially liked "Be Offensive."

Stephanie said...

I don't think I'm a lurker. I do love prizes though :-) I hope once school starts and you get back in the swing of things, you'll remember all of us out here in blogland.

Caitlin said...

I've commented before, but we have in common having our dudes in the Air Force. Oh, and the fact that you're stationed in Germany makes me totally jealous.

tcdprayers said...

I am a lurker....kinda....I am a military brat, that likes to see what others connected to the military world are experiencing and how they are handling similar situations that i have or are going through.

Moe said...

Hi! I'm Maureen (Moe to almost everyone). I found your blog somewhere along the way.... and I love it. You always have good stories and make me laugh. :) It's a fun blog to read.

Oh and I love the pictures!!! :)

PS. I totally loved and agreed with the post about the airport security. could not have said it better myself!

Christa said...

I too have commented a few times in the past.

What do we have in common? I too am a military wife.

JohnsonFamily said...

I want to win so I am commenting.

Hope you are doing well!

Paige Marie said...

Hi! My name is Paige. My bf is in the NROTC program at OU. We're hoping to get married after he is commissioned as an officer.
I found your blog today and I really like it.. It's kinda like a little peek into what my life might be like in a few years if things continue to go well with my bf.
Cute blog. :)

wifeofasailor.com said...

By the way... I added you to my Military Fam blog list on my website :)

Full of Heart said...

I'm no longer a lurker but I figured I'd say HI anyways.
And I miss your creepy delurking entries too, they were hilarious.

Jordan said...

I always read your blog but never comment. Maybe I should start?! :)

Colleen said...

Rebecca said...

Hi! I'm Rebecca! I'm really terrible about lurking, but I have commented once or twice!

Sarah said...

OK, that's my first comment on your blog.

Have great Sunday!

Amanda and Tim said...

Hello! Just recently moved to Germany with my hubby (Army) and love reading about your travels. We have already visited Italy for two weeks and have only been here 2 months! Keep sharing travel ideas and opinions please!

*Jenn* said...

I think I am a lurker too... :/ Haha But I did introduce myself through an email. :)

Sassafrass said...

Hello Military wife! That is what we have in common! I am another military wife living in Virginia..

Joy said...

I didn't mean to 'lurk'!

Mrs.Olson said...

Here I am !
I found your blog through other military wife blogs. This last thanksgiving my husband felt a very strong call on his heart to join the Air Force. It was shortly after I became a blogaholic. So, I went in search of advice, stories and what life would be like. I really enjoy your posts!

I have also have a blog. Feel free to stop by. I blog about our newlywed life, my cookies experiences, workout wishes and our 11 nieces and nephews.

Blessings !

showmeyourcookies said...

I've commented before but I don't think I've formally introduced myself. I go by Mrs. Cookie here in the blogosphere. I am a 6th grade teacher in the Boston area and my husband is a lawyer trying to join one of the JAG corps. I found you because of our interests in teaching and military. :)

showmeyourcookies said...

Oh yeah (sorry I forgot to add this)! My dad was in the AF and I lived much of my young childhood in Germany.

Amanda said...

I know I'm late! haha. oh well, i really do enjoy your blog!
all the best.

Ashley said...

Not a lurker ~ just here to give my happy hour approval. I'm in much need of a happy hour..... post-baby, of course.

Marine and Beauty Queen said...

I'm really late on this but it's been a long weekend. Congrats on the new domain name! hope it's as smooth a transition as you want it to be! I'm a Marine wife and granddaughter to a retired AF Major.

Laura said...

I read cuz I'm your sister. I comment when it's warranted.

Paula said...

I'm an Army wife moving to Germany in about a month! I can't remember if I've commented before, but this blog gives me ideas about what the next three years may or may not be like for me. Thanks for posting!

tootie said...

Sorry I'm a little late, but hello! Your blog is so cute!

Wishnstar said...

Hi, Casey! Just moved to Germany with my AF hubby two weeks ago after getting married, and still not quite use to my surroundings! Adorable blog! I am a retired teacher/ assistant principal trying to learn how to be a military wife. I am a true believe in second chances in life and that life starts at 35! :)

Jes said...

just found your blog today...don't want to fall into lurker status so I'm saying hi! Hope you're having a great weekend =)
