Yup. I'm at belk buying Man-dy's daughter a new dress because my dog chewed her Christmas dress, and it's really not that busy. Thank dog.

OMG I need this. Brb, I'm going to do some xmas shopping for myself.

COSIGNED!

Funnily enough neither of us has actually seen Firebirds. I wouldn't admit that at work though.

It sounds way cooler than it is... Thanks to budget cuts we really don't fly that much. My day consists of sitting at a computer for the most part. If I'm lucky, I fly once a week. The biggest challenge is that since we are in different companies (and we are lucky to even be in the same battalion), we have different…

Another thing that helps us is that while I am book smart, Man-dy is incredibly smart when it comes to mechanical things. Since we have different strengths with our intelligence, it's not like a direct competition. I learn from him all the time.

Well I met Man-dy Summers at flight school (he's a fellow warrant officer) and he is incredibly supportive of my career surpassing his. I think the key is that the man cannot be insecure. My ex was very insecure about being less educated, even though I dropped out of college 4 years in. Man-dy does not give two shits…

I relate to what she's saying about relationships SO MUCH. Being an accomplished woman comes with a lot of relationship challenges. My ex husband did not have the confidence to handle my awesomeness. He, then an MP SGT in the army, would constantly tell me that I should leave him for a Special Forces officer. Things…

I compared Santa's letters to my mom's handwriting (the Easter bunny didn't leave me letter) and was super confused as to why they were different (I was already skeptical at this point). Years later I found out that she's ambidexteous, and wrote Santa's letter in her non dominant hand. Sneaky.

I own all of Taylor's albums on *CD*. Yes, you read that correctly. Loved her in concert and am convinced we would BFF's if I could just get an introduction. She totally needs an older/wiser BFF to give relationship advice/shoulder to cry on.

Baby shampoo. I even use the wal-mart brand. (Not that I clean my brushes anywhere near once a week, mind you)

So you like Taylor Swift and Harry Potter? We should be friends.

I love this. Kara you are a genius!

I think it's because she refuses to play the game, and doesn't make any effort to come across as likeable.

Aw, I would totally talk to her. About normal shit too, like my dogs. Or how much winter sucks.

I'm super late to this party, but my deal breaker is period sex. If he's not into (or at least willing to put up with) period sex, then I'm out.

My fantasies aren't freaky, but I bet they're rather unique:

One time in flight school Man-dy and I decided to have sex in a field while we were hiking. In the middle of the act we realized that the apaches flying overheard for the gunnery range were probably recording us with their TADS (day imaging system). Oops.

I'm still not a fan of her rapping accent, but damn, gotta hand it to her for embracing the diss. I think it's hilarious.

Exactly! And if I look away I lose my place and have to search through the huge block trying to see where I left off. Just make it easy for me to read gossip, dammit!
