Friday 5s...

1.  Does anyone else have a Keurig that's slowly dying on them?  Does this happen with Keurigs?  Ours was bought in November 2011 and several months ago, it went through the whole always saying "prime"thing and making loud dying cow noises. It eventually stopped that, but then started again last week.  I de-scale it every other month or so.  Have you had this experience?




2.  Funny.

3.  We went to a Commandant Reception on Wednesday.

Sunspots, tan lines, it's all going on in this picture.  We were running late.  Of course.  

I wore the same dress that I did in 2010 for a battalion ball.


I bought new shoes though.


$51 Nine West (on clearance) is probably not a bargain at the PX, but they are cute and surprisingly comfortable. I guess we should invest in our high heels, after all, right?

4. Someone at the reception was talking to me about how he'd been through four Ft. Leonard-Wood winters and they were "brutal" and it was "very cold".  I just let him talk.



When he was finished, I said, "Well, we came from Alaska, so I don't think it'll be that bad."

These southerners.

5.  Shamefully, oh so shamefully, I must admit that I've gone through TWO bags of candy corn since Sunday.  I'm horrified.  There's no picture for this.  No real evidence means it didn't happen, right?
