Once upon a time, Prince Charming was navigating his way through a sea of drunks when his path crossed that of a fair maiden. Although there was no ball made of gold falling into a pond (a la The Frog Prince), there was a Gold Halter Top (in caps because it's legendary!) and large beer tub. Consequently, the Prince (actually a Naval Officer) and the maiden (actually a college educated Director of Marketing & Advertising) fell madly in love and eventually married. They went on to live Happily Ever After.
That was 2004 and seemingly many lifetimes ago! Since then we've moved from the East Coast to the West Coast to the Heartland. We started off adopting a neurotic, yet lovable dog, Eddie the Fox. We (naively) felt ready to be parents to a human and in November 2006 I was transformed from a lovely Princess, to a Lady-in-Waiting/ Wet Nurse/ Driver/ Laundress to a new and fairer Princess, Miss Priss. She is the light of our lives and truly deserves the title!
Currently, my Prince is on cruise and will not return to us until October. This is our fourth deployment, but first one since Little Miss, and truly a test of my survival skills! Miss Priss, Eddie and I are residing in Iowa (we are stationed in California) to be closer to my family. And as an added twist, my only sibling, my younger sister, Sissy, is moving into my guest room until Prince gets back. Get the cameras rolling because I smell a hit for Reality TV!
