You won't want to miss this ...
I've got a new favorite drink, the Beer-Rita (limeade, triple sec, tequila and Corona), I'm at the beach and the sun is shining. To this I say: TGIF!
And remember our Sunday night "Army Wives" live chat and viewing party. Right here at 10 p.m. during the show on Lifetime. We're going to have a lot to talk about it - including a story I have coming out in Sunday's paper that you won't want to miss. I'll try to post it here tomorrow night if I can.
In the meantime, have a great weekend and I'll see you Sunday!


Welcome to a behind-the-scenes look at life on the home front. Jan Wesner is a journalist and Army wife who works in the St. Petesburg Times' East Hillsborough bureau. Jan started writing here in 2006 when her husband was deployed to Iraq, sharing her stories about life with a loved one at war. Now she's sharing yours. Send us your stories, photos, e-mails, questions or anything else related to the war, those who serve, or those who are "standing by." Stop by daily for local military updates, special events, personal stories and other information by, for and about military families.
I can't wait to hear more about the story you're working on. I've got a wedding to go to tomorrow so I'll be out of town but I should be back by Sunday evening. If it's humanly possible, I'll be here for the chat.
