5 on Friday

--ONE--

Hooray, the last day of January is HERE!!! January is the worst, isn't it? I feel such a sense of relief when February 1st arrives. I'm usually so surprised at how fast time passes when a month is over, but not with January. That being said, I will be really sad if we don't get just a little bit more snow. It turns out I appreciate the seasons more than I thought I did.

Todd won a couple awards recently that are very exciting -- Squadron Field Grade Officer of the Year and Operations Group Field Grade Officer of the Year. I am SO PROUD of him I can't stand it! He is now competing for FGO of the Year at the wing level. We find out in one week who won at the Annual Awards Ceremony and I am so excited and anxious all at the same time! It's a formal event and I can't wait for a night on the town to celebrate his accomplishments!

I spotted this glow axe at Wal-Mart this week. What in the world? Necklaces, bracelets, rings, sunglasses...and an axe???

--FOUR--

I watch a lot of reality TV. A LOT. The newest show I'm obsessed with -- Wahlburgers.



Let me state for the record that Joey was always my favorite New Kid. Donnie was a little old and raunchy for young and impressionable me. I like him better as an actor -- did you see Band of Brothers? He was almost unrecognizable. However, I am completely fascinated by the Wahlberg family, especially Mark. That guy is so disciplined it's crazy. The way he has turned his life around from a teen gangsta (for real), to Marky Mark, to a legit actor and producer with a wife and family amazes me. Dear Marky Mark -- please write a book because I would read it immediately.

I'm a little late to the game on this one, but another new show obsession is Shark Tank. I went to go visit some family in Utah a couple weeks ago and my SIL and BIL are hooked on this. Thanks to them, now we are too. It inspires me to start a business until I remember that I don't have any original ideas of my own.
