    My Photo
    Name: dyzgoneby
    Location: California, United States

    I am married to a wonderful Marine and a mother of 5 darling children. Sniper has been home from his second tour in the Shitbox since July 2006. This will be my rants, raves and rumblings with my life with him as a Marine Wife, him dealing with life post Iraq and the Marine Corps next adventure for us. At times I may whine, I may cry and there maybe times I just don't make any sense and you think WTF. These are my feelings and my feelings alone. If you don't like what I have to say, click the "X" in the right corner and move on. Thank a vet for having that choice. If not, sit back and enjoy the peak into my crazy world.

    I Was Tagged

    I was tagged by PCS to LinkedInUSAF. He thinks my answers will be funny. Hhhmmmm, let's see, do you want the truth....

    4 Jobs You Have Had In Your Life
    1. TacoBell - I lasted 1 week, they didn't like us white folk (I was in highschool folks & lived in California).
    2. A Brokerage Firm - I won't tell which one. My boss thought we were living in the 60's. I was his "girl" and he expected me to percolate his coffee every frickin morning (the coffee shop was downstairs) pick-up his dry cleaning, pay his personal bills, drop off his car for repairs (had to find my own way back to the office) and be his taxi. Oh Hell No,I quit.
    3. Retirement Home - This was my favorite. I was a waitress in the dining room and loved working with everyone. The residents were absolutely wonderful. The stories they told me, I thrived . I still have a painting a local famous artist painted for me (personalized with his signature), he was 101 when he painted it.
    4. Creative Memories Consultant - I am still doing this one. I am a scrapbook consultant and love every minute. The people I have met have become part of my family. The stories we share on our "families" and "life" experiences are wonderful.

    4 Movies You Would Watch Over and Over
    Does Disney movies count? Oh wait, that would be movies I would watch over and over again. I couldn't help it I have too many to list.
    1. Son-In-Law - Pauly Shore is absolutely hilarious, need I say more.
    2. Joe Dirt - I know, it's stupid, but I love a good laugh.
    3. Adam Sandler movies' - Waterboy, Happy Gilmore, Mr. Deeds, Wedding Singer, Big Daddy.
    4. American Pie - All of them, I love these dumb movies.
    5. Star Wars - All six of them. Yep I love Sci-Fi. I grew-up with these. I even took the day off of work when the last 3 came out.
    6. Saving Private Ryan - Nothing to say here on this, I just love it.

    4 TV Shows You Love to Watch
    I don't watch a lot of shows for myself. The damn disney channel is on 24/7. I literally have to fight for the TV. Now I have 4 TVs in the house, but the kids have to be in the same room as I and they take over. I am so tired of "Zack and Cody" "The Amanda Show" "That's So Raven" When I do get to watch TV.....
    1. CSI - Doesn't everyone love this one, even my kids love it.
    2. House
    3. Without a Trace
    4. Anything on HGTV - Hey, I can dream. I love to see what my next project in the house is.



    4 Places You Have Lived
    I've never lived out of California. Growing up we always lived in some small damn cow town. Thank God we moved back to Sacra"tomato"
    1. Modesto, California
    2. Manteca, California
    3. Bakersfield, California
    4. Merced, California

    4 Places You Have Been On Vacation
    1. New York City - My worked payed for this er...vacation/education trip. I went home after a week smelling like, you guessed it, alcohol. Even our instructors were pretty tore up during our classes.
    2. Toronto, Canada - I won a 5 day all expenses paid for trip from work. Niagara Falls was absolutely beautiful. The CN 360 Tower was very impressive. However, the elevator ride up, I ended up on the floor, I am afraid of heights, especially with all the windows in that damn thing.
    3. Scottsdale, Arizona - A bunch of guys and I ended up at a Gay Bar. One of them thought it would be hilarious (he was gay) and it was. Being the only female it was frickin' funny. My then boyfriend at the time, kept getting hit on and I was asked if I would like to share. Now, this 6 foot 3 man (not a girlie man) didn't think it was to funny, but I sure did.
    4. Disneyland - That counts for something......The Happiest Place on Earth.

    4 GREAT Places Where You Just Said, "Eh .."
    I only have two. I don't get out much unless you count work, doctor's appointments and kids schools/activities.
    1. Canada - I went to a Blue Jay's game here and the unpatriotic Canadians I saw and witnessed towards the USA almost got me in trouble, I sorta refrained, sorta.
    2. Chicago O'Hare - Does an airport count? I will never ever ever fly through that airport again.

    4 Websites You Visit Daily
    Does my email accounts count as a website....I check those hourly when I'm home. I 'm looking for that damned email from Sniper....still waiting. I know only 4, but it's hard.
    1. MarineParents - I have found wonderful support on this site.
    2. Dad Gone Mad - He is always great for a good laugh.
    3. The Sarcastic Journalist - I'm always looking for a great laugh with her.
    4. Poop, Paxil and Pageantry - Katy keeps changing the blog name, so don't try and keep up. She is one funny lady and great to see how the "otherside" of how a military spouse lives.
    5. The Kept Woman - Again a great way to see how the military wife lives and very funny to boot.

    4 Milblogs You Visit Daily
    Does my blog count.....this is a hard one. See my blogroll, I go through these plus some everyday.
    1. One Marine's View - Capt B is absolutely hilarious, plus his experiences are truly outstanding.
    2. Sandbox Chronicles - This is a new one I have found . TacoBell is so damn funny.
    3. From My Position...on the Way - Chuck and Caren have a positive outlook on life.
    4. It's a toss up from Blackfive, The Mudville Gazette and The Military Outpost.

    4 Favorite Foods
    1. Chicken Cesear Salad - I love salads. I can live on them daily and the kids and I do.
    2. Chicken Enchiladas - I can't make them very well, so I have to rely on other people. Hey what can I say I can't cook well and don't like too. I have a year and a half to learn not to kill us all with my cooking. How expensive is a chef? I need to hire one.
    3. Prime Rib - I love my red meat and prime rib just doesn't get any better than this.
    4. Anything with Chocolate - I am a junk food junkie, anything with chocolate is even better.

    4 Favorite "Adult Beverages"
    1. Smirnoff Ice
    2. Vodka Cran
    3. Midori Sour
    4. Midori Margaritta - My two favorites, Midori, Yummy and Tequilia. However, do you know the song "Tequila makes her clothes fall off" Yep, that's me. I am very careful where I drink tequila, it can get me into major trouble.

    4 Places You Would Rather Be Right Now
    1. Laying on a beach, with a drink in hand and Sniper right next to me.
    2. Living in our dream house, in the middle of the Sierra's with no neighbors for miles, but the two of us and all our kids.
    3. Sitting in the hottub, just Sniper and I, snow falling all around and no kids....brings back great memories. Luckily there was no neighbors....
    4. Cuddled up on the couch, in our jammies, with my two favorite little people, watching SciFi Movies all day. The munchkins and I do this every other weekend. Yeah for jammie days.

    4 People to Tag
    1. Going Nuts At Home - Not like she has much to do with her hubby just returning home.
    2. An Army Wife's Life - Love to see her answers.
    3. Frankly Opinionated - Let's see those answers. I know you can come up with some funny ones.
    4. DesertExile - Come on Dan-Gerous I know you want to play.


    I hope you love the little insight to my world.

    "We love you Joe Dirt!"

    (my all time bestest movie ... the scene with the dog on the porch?)

    HIGH-LAIRE-EEE-USSSSS !!!

    That and the scene with the tank taped to his back in the bus station. Oh my ... :)

    All your movie choices, AWESOME. ME TOO!!! :) The lower and less acting required, the better. Ya know?

    I look for movies where the character has something a little "off", and the actor is coming through in the part in some way. Pauli Shore does that too. There are some scenes where you know that it is _really_ the way he is ...
