Men's Meme Monday: Stress Relief

Okay once again, it's time around for the Men's Meme. I will ask a question from Tim@Families Again and Gunlover will answer. His answer will be in green. :) Again my notations will be included, but I will not answer, or influence the answer.

How do you deal with stress? 

Playing video games...shooting virtual people in the face! (Me: It's a military thing..I think every military guy I know loves COD)

Is there really a good way to do it? 

Relieve stress? Well yeah!! But this is a family blog so...guess!! hehe. (Me: *staring at him over Skype*)

Is there a Biblical way? 

Prayer and reading, which I need to do more of.

Is there a medical way?

*laughing* Yeah...vitamin M, the essential for every growing military man. (Me: For the civvies, Vitamin M is what the military calls Motrin. And yeah, they prescribe it for everything...headache? Motrin. Sprain? Motrin. Your leg just randomly fell off??? Extra Motrin!!)

Favorite Hymn - The video is a bit yuck, but this is one of my favorite versions

  

 My Favorite Praise & Worship Song - We used to attend church with the woman who wrote this

Apologies, Recap & Awesome Blogging Community

Hey everyone! I've been really sporadic about my posts on here, and the other 2 blogs. Have no fear, I'm not burning out already, and I haven't been ill. I'm visiting my family, and our church here has been doing a week-long marriage conference.

Now contrary to popular belief, you don't have to have an endangered marriage to attend a conference. And isn't it better to learn how to protect your marriage before there's an issue, rather than after? I took my first step in getting ahead of the game when I read Gary Chapman's 5 Love Languages. When this conference came up, I got excited! For starters, I love our pastor, but I thought it was awesome that a marriage conference was the week before my anniversary.

So to make up for the inconsistent posts, I'll be participating in a 30 Day post that's been making rounds amongst the military spouses. (Who will be credited on the 1st of those posts. :) )

Speaking of military spouses. I ran across an awesome blogging community at Household 6 Diva. She's got it broken down between military spouses, and military supportive. Check her out, she also has a great article on OPSEC & PERSEC.

Random Dozen #1

It's Wednesday, so time to enjoy some random craziness thanks to Lid @ 2nd-cup-of-coffee.

Here are your questions for this week:

1. Would you rather host party or simply attend a party? I would be too concerned that I forgot something vital, so I'd probably be less stressed just attending.

2. Tell us about the most memorable party you've been to. Probably the birthday/costume party I went to when I was younger. I was in an awesome Cleopatra costume that my Mom made me.

3. What is one thing you hope for in the after-life? To still be with my family.

4. What do you enjoy most about sunshine? I love the warm cozy feeling when it's on your shoulders in springtime.

5. When you attend a bridal/baby shower, do you prefer to bring your own gift or chip in with others to buy a larger gift? I prefer to bring my own gift.

6. Would you rather have a FREE week of having your house cleaned or all of your meals cooked for you and your family? It's awkward having someone else clean for me, so I'd definitely choose the cooking.

7. What song describes your mood today? Most People I Know (Think That I'm Crazy)

8. What is something you received for your own bridal shower/wedding that you still own or use? (If you are not married, feel free to sub a gift you received a long time ago.) I still own all the racy underwear from the bridal shower..wait wait come back!!! I was married less than a year ago. Okay, I'm sorry...you didn't want to hear about my underroos....okay I still have the crystal vase from my wedding. Better?

9. Your favorite flavor of ice cream is? Depends on my mood...sometimes Rocky Road, sometimes Banana Split.

10. When was the last time you felt "tested?" Oh gosh...dealing with a court case, and being a new Mom again, and a husband overseas??? Uhmm I'll take "Every Day" for 200, Alex.

11. "Anything my Mom makes is a food that once I start eating I find really hard to stop."

12. "Family" is the best motivation.
