Good Morning Campers!
Can you believe tomorrow marks the two year anniversary of BritsBlog?? It has been a roller coaster 2 years..I have to say though that with the exception of a few trolls and the misinterpretation of a couple of my entries... life has been good to me in J Land...I have found a great place to spend a few hours doing what I like to do best ..reading...and getting to peek into the lives of others... I have made many many friends and although I have yet to meet any of you in person I feel as if we have been friends for years... I am glad I stuck it out when the going got tough and here's to another 10 years! I would like to raise a glass to our j Land angels who have passed on too...you are NOT forgotten...
Thanks to Gayla for my tag...big love to you sweetheart and I WILL call....
So anyway..guess who is working every day this week? yep....moi...our receptionist is out with Pneumonia and our oh-so-bright office manager <insert sarcasm> let 2 girls be out on vacation at the same time... so it is up to me and the other part timer to rally round...I really don't mind because the extra dollars will come in handy for my trip...
The beach was gorgeous on Friday...the dinner party was fun..probably something to do with the margaritas...LOL..Saturday I went to a Princess House Party (they sell housewares..mostly crystal) I bought a bud Vase for my roses... Sunday the weather turned chilly again....

Can you believe those temps for Florida in the spring time? if this keeps up I will need a tanning bed session before I go home...;-)
Tomorrow we have the pre-deployment meeting on base..not the most cheerful thing in the world..that's where everyone comes together to pull resources and make sure everyone's wills are updated..financial documents etc are in order..that everyone has all the phone numbers they may need...stuff like that... we get briefed on who is going where..protocol for phone calls etc...what it basically means is the deployment is getting close...6 weeks from today to be precise...
Okay that's all from me..I need to get showered and head off to the clinic...have a great week....

Congrats hon :) you know I have no idea when my anniversary is?? sheesh... I'm sure that you will thoroughly enjoy your trip when the time gets here & I'm sorry about work ~ do I ever get that!! Hope you have a great week and everything goes smooothly without the extra help at work. Hugz* Teresa
Congratulations on your second blogging anniversary, and here's to many more!
Happy 2nd Anniversary! Glad you stuck around love - I would miss you if you buggered off now!
Snap on the working everyday this week too! What is it about office managers who can't read rosters!!! Ours did the same thing and let two people have leave at once over the school holidays! Nice one Cyril!!! I tell you, they are a brainless bunch! But, as you say the money will come in handy for the holiday.
Hope the weather improves soon. Can't have you going back to the old country looking like a local can we!!!!
Hugs

lyn, Happy Anniversary! Glad I ran into your journal and have enjoyed it. I am surprised I have not heard from my brother about FL weather. He used to call me once a year to brag about barbquing when I was freezing my tookus off up in MD, LOL. Our weather has been going cold-warm, cold-warm over the last few days. Today, its a bit cool, but sunshine. Love it! I took today off and am going to enjoy some of it! Toodles!
Happy Blog Anniversary!
Missie
yeah, I am in Florida and freezing!
Happy Anniversay!
I'm always glad you're here
and glad we are friends
Love

I love you & your journal, and I'm so glad you never left us either.....you bring me smiles :) The FL temps look warm when you are where it's 38 & windy....brrrr. But, I understand what you are saying....Mandy has been chilly, too :)
Congrats on your two years....I look forward to many more!

Lyn Happy 2nd birthday to your Journal ~ how the time has flown by ~ hope they don't keep you too busy at work but as you say the extra money will be handy ~ Ally x
Hi. Don't know what to say. Unless you have a loved one in the armed forces, then you just can't know how you feel. I have and I do. I think a little bit of me dies each time my son goes. We just have to get on with it, don't we?
Hope work isn't too stressfull.

You poor woman, first full time work AND no sun? I give you credit for just getting out of bed each morning with that life. ::big wink::
I thought Princess Parties was sex toys ... are you sure it's houswares? ROFL

What would my life be without my sweet, beautful Lyn.....ah, it would be a barren wasteland of nothingness...thank the Lord you showed up and liked me 2 yrs ago, huh? Too damn bad the trolls didn't feel the same?! AH's!
Enjoy all that work and those temps....yikes.
LOVE YOU to pieces
Congratulations on 2years...you are a great read!

Happy Anniversary to you!!!
Happy thoughts to you always.

I will be saying prayers that the deployment goes safe and smooth and hubby is back to you soon. Congrats on the two year mark for your blog!! Yes, J Land is an awesome place and so many nice friends here!!!! Hope the work week goes easy for you and wow it seems chilly lo temperature in Florida.... it's cold and spring chilly here. Spring comes and then leaves and comes and leaves. I wish it would make it's mind up to stay. We finally have another sunny day today though and I am enjoying it immensely. Hugs,
Lisa
Lovely catching up with you here this morning Lyn. Congrats on your two year bloggiversary! Way to go! You know, in all the years I was married to my ex husband (22) and all those years spent as a Military wife of a Canadian Soldier and for all the times he was deployed elsewhere I never once attended a deployment meeting. There was never any such thing offered to the wives and families of Canadian soldiers. That would sure have been a helpful thing. I think Canadian soldiers and their families must be about the worst paid and treated. There used to be a saying and it got quoted to me often by my ex . . . "If the army wanted you to have a family, they'd issue you with one." That says it all. You must be getting so excited about your trip!!! I would be!
love,
Marie

Happy Anniversary!
Linda :)
I have read you from the beggining,and enjoyed your journal Lyn ,keep it up ,The pre-deployment thing sounds daunting ,hopefully it went well ,Not long now till you come to the UK ..love Jan xx
From the very first read I loved you! I have so enjoyed having a peep in the life of an English girl in Florida.I hope theres many,many more entries. . .you have a beautiful family and I am so envious of the Florida sunshine and lifestyle.
Congrats on the two-year mark, coming close for me too! I hope you've had a good week as you get ready for your vacation. Did the weather warm up? De ;)
Hi !!!!!!!! I wanted to congratulate you on your 2 year anniversary of your blog that's wonderful. I am always enjoying coming to visit you and your blog never mind the trolls.
You might want to know that you will be able to meet my family in my newest entry. Tonight we went to the Hard Rock Cafe to celebrate my birthday which was nice. We all had a great time and I have to say that I enjoyed myself completely. Do take care and have a wonderful week.
CONGRATS on your 2 year blog and for staying despite the occasional hiccups. All i can say is that if people don't like well putting it very bluntly 'Sod 'em' !!!!
The pre deployment meeting sounds scary....... but i guess its an essential. I hope everything goes well
Hugs Jayne
Congrats on two years...so glad you are here!!! :)
