IMBIES: 6 Ways Being a Military Spouse Is Like Being in High School
http://imbies.blogspot.com/2014/08/6-ways-being-military-spouse-is-like.html
Scenes from my back yard. Kind of. Friday, August 1, 2014. 6 Ways Being a Military Spouse Is Like Being in High School. As I reflect on various aspects of military life, I am struck by how much it reminds me of high school. From the good, bad and ugly, much of what I endured as a teenager still rings true. 1 Being a Freshman. How on earth will you find all of your classes? What will you wear? I still search for those friendly faces, but now I do it on Facebook. 2 Being a Senior. As a freshman, I remember...

IMBIES: Choking Victim
http://imbies.blogspot.com/2012/04/choking-victim.html
Scenes from my back yard. Kind of. Tuesday, April 17, 2012. Many years ago a poster about the Heimlich maneuver cropped up in restaurants everywhere. It was meant to instruct people on how to help when confronted with a person who was choking. But the layout and wording indicated a nefarious plot. For years I wanted to do a parody of it and that time has finally come. Tuesday, April 17, 2012. April 20, 2012 at 9:10 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Which is more socially acceptable?

IMBIES: Hardly Rockin' My Resolutions
http://imbies.blogspot.com/2014/01/hardly-rockin-my-resolutions.html
Scenes from my back yard. Kind of. Tuesday, January 7, 2014. Hardly Rockin' My Resolutions. It’s a week into the New Year and I’ve already forgotten what my resolutions were. Nevermind neglecting them, I can’t even remember what they are. Last night I woke up with a start because I need to get my car title changed and registered in a new state. With all these things to keep track of, who can remember the big picture like realigning one’s time around personal priorities and finding balance? Where Do You G...

IMBIES: One-Crutch Wonder
http://imbies.blogspot.com/2014/04/one-crutch-wonder.html
Scenes from my back yard. Kind of. Thursday, April 3, 2014. When babies take their first solo steps, their faces often light up at the amazing feat they've just accomplished. And, boy, look out, because now they have places to go! I know that feeling. Recuperating from knee surgery, I am learning to walk again. While losing my independence has been a drag, every bit of progress makes me feel this wild sense of glee. The day I could wear jeans again was also a banner day. Not only did it mean the swel...

IMBIES: Barf vs. Poop
http://imbies.blogspot.com/2013/09/barf-vs-poop.html
Scenes from my back yard. Kind of. Monday, September 16, 2013. Barf vs. Poop. I have a theory. Perhaps it’s more of an axiom, as its implications aren’t exactly earth shattering. I believe that throwing up is considered more socially acceptable than having diarrhea. We brag about barfing. Epic drinking binges from our youth, raccoon eyes from burst blood vessels – puking is often a point of pride. But it’s a fact of life. 8221; The answer for several days was a resounding, “No.”. I remember being at the ...

IMBIES: Hum’s the Word
http://imbies.blogspot.com/2013/09/hums-word.html
Scenes from my back yard. Kind of. Thursday, September 26, 2013. Hum’s the Word. There’s something I believe every woman should have. No, it’s not one of the hardest minerals known to mankind that’s measured in carats and clarity. It’s hard, but it’s not a mineral. It’s battery operated. As for me, I’m rather traditional. Going old school suits me just fine. But you’d be surprised how difficult it can be to find a plain old Jane – er, John. You see, since it was their house, I couldn’t have put the...

IMBIES: Belly Wedgie
http://imbies.blogspot.com/2014/06/belly-wedgie.html
Scenes from my back yard. Kind of. Friday, June 27, 2014. The condition of having the fabric of one’s shirt caught between rolls of belly fat. Use. She tugged at her shirt to free her belly wedgie from the folds of her stomach. As I sit here, I can feel my stomach pressed up against the restrictively tight waistband of my jeans. Well, half of my stomach. The other half has burst over the top of said waistband, liberating itself from the prison that is this pair of too-tight jeans. I could tell you I had ...

IMBIES: What Do Your Big Girl Panties Look Like?
http://imbies.blogspot.com/2012/12/what-do-your-big-girl-panties-look-like.html
Scenes from my back yard. Kind of. Monday, December 31, 2012. What Do Your Big Girl Panties Look Like? Big girl panties (BGPs) have been on my mind because mine have been getting a fair bit of use lately. I figured if I'm going to be wearing them so much, perhaps I should get better acquainted with them. I find myself wondering what BGPs look like exactly. Are they like Spanx that help you suck it up? You may look polished on the outside, but you'll probably feel somewhat constricted. December 31, 2012 a...
