My Life in a Nutshell

My first post already explained why I'm here, but didn't tell you much about me, and even though this is an anonymous blog, I want to tell you all about me.

When I reference myself I will happily stay with A Sailor's Anchor. This name is a definite play on the old "ball and chain" concept. Originally I meant this as a very loving term (I'm not being sarcastic) but as each passing day goes, I realize there is probably a lot of truth in this thought. I think to my husband I have been an anchor weighing him down for sometime, and I never realized how hard it was for him to drag me around.... this idea upon full formation could very well be an entire post in itself, but I will save this for a later date.

My other half will affectionately be called Mister, for this seems the most appropriate seeeing as how any other "pet" names really don't fit the bill right now.

We have 2 furbabies, although, Mister always denies that they are in any way his, therefore I have 1 grumpy but loving old man dog, whom I shall call Face from now on, and 1 kitten whom I shall call Kitty Boo.  Face is a yellow terrier with a personality the size of a person, and Kitty Boo is all white except for a grey/black  mohawk, she is not even a year old but is rather fat thanks to eating all of Face's dog food.

If you couldn't tell since I already mentioned that I have furbabies, there are no children.

 I have a job, working retail. When it comes to hobbies.... I have to stop and think. I used to do all sorts of fun things like take dance classes, and in high school I played sports like volleyball and track. I used to read all the time, any book I could get my hands on. Now, I read occasionally, but not often, and when I come home from work I usually just curl up on the couch and turn on Nick at Nite or ABC Family.... I actually didn't realize that I don't have that many hobbies any more...

I have some amazing friends that  increasingly become more important to me by the day and a great family. The friends I've made since becoming a Navy wife are indispensable to me and I don't know where I would be right now without them.

I guess that's it... my life in a nutshell.
