Week 11

Today is a good day. It is beautiful outside, clear sky and upper 70s. Good weather makes me feel great!

Last night I attended a wine tasting, during which I learned many new things including the fact the Sicily has its very own grape that only grows on that particular island.

Having gone straight from work to the wine-tasting, I was very surprised when a man came up to me and said, "I hear your husband is in Iraq. Does that mean you're wearing that scarf to cover up your hickeys?" I replied, "No, but in eight weeks when my husband gets home I will be wearing scarfs to cover up my hickeys."

Funny as the comment may be, I feel its is fairly telling of the reputation of Army wives. While I have heard many wild allegations regarding Army wives, the stereotype had never before extended to me.

I'm still thinking on this one.
