If you're looking for more information on the Fill-in go to Wife of a Sailor's blog.1. Does you significant other read your blog? Is this a good or a bad thing? DH has no idea what a blog is, I just checked. ("What the heck is a blog?")
2. What is one item in your house that holds the most sentimental value and why? Probably my photo storage box with the letters and whatnot from our last deployment and/or my music box. I keep those odds and ends around not because they're particularly valuable but because they remind me of the person I fell in love with when times get rough. I've got other family heirloom-y things in the house: a 1791 - Klötz violin, a 1921 - player piano, my grandmother's sterling silver tea/coffee service, his grandfather's service flag from his burial. I think the box is what I'd miss most if it were destroyed though.
3. When it comes to water fun in the summer do you prefer the beach, pool, lake or sprinkler? I'm not a fan of public pools, house pools are too much upkeep. Sprinklers don't wet you enough. Most lakes have too much "crap" in them (particulates, living things, etc) but you could make the same argument for beaches. However, if you've had the particular luck of vacationing in the Caribbean you know that some of the most beautiful beaches are found here, particularly around the Grand Caymans. I would take those pristine white beaches and crystal clear waters over any pool, lake or sprinkler any day of the week.
4. What is the one special thing that you do for yourself to get you through the first week of a deployment/separation? Have yourself a good cry, snuggle the dog(s), watch some trashy romance flick and then get back to work. Having a job is the best way to get through your first week, knowing you're responsible for doing something important puts your priorities back in line.
