A couple of comments here. One from Jim Hightower that had me laughing in total agreement. Read the whole thing - it is short. Pretty much echoing what I always say about the state of the 'news' these days. It is all Blondes, all the time bought and paid for by your favorite brand of... Continue Reading →
More bad kitties
This is what I came home to today. DS1 had put the screen back up as promised. He also vacuumed the downstairs. However, we both forgot that there was already a hole in the corner of this screen from when we first moved in. It was created to allow for smoking in his room with... Continue Reading →
Wiped OUT
Whatta weekend. So after the hike yesterday I got stuff together and shopped for supplies for the Powerhouse tryouts today. Then got my nails done, then came home for a quick cat-nap before heading downtown for the Padre/RedSox game. I met several friends at The Field for some brews and dinner. Great time - surrounded...

Pictures from new camera!
These are all from the group hike this morning. I played with many settings on the camera and was really pleased with the results. Especially the last one which is a close up of a pretty small wildflower blooming on the trails. The camera actually has a setting just for flowers! Pretty awesome. Off to... Continue Reading →
Overly connected?
As everyone knows, the plan is on to tend to myself and also create distractions to keep me from focusing on missing DS2. Since it is now past a week since he left, this is usually when the challenge is greater since I am used to him being out of my house for a week... Continue Reading →
Land of confusion and really small worlds
Last summer I handed down my digital camera to DS2 for his birthday and bought myself a newer one. The new one was on sale and only a couple of megapixels better then the old one, but with a few more features and better zoom. We are not fancy picture takers by any means and... Continue Reading →
Cats
I must admit that one of the rather selfish reasons that I decided to add cats to the house this year was a reaction to last summer when between DS1 practically living at his girlfriend's, DS2 on his trip, and SP out of town for almost 2 weeks in China on business, I was totally...

Connections
So as I said in my previous post, this is the time of year when I try to catch up on doing things for me. Since I don't have the 3-day walk to motivate me specifically this year to get out and walk, I needed some other inspiration. My training walks were all walks on... Continue Reading →
My current seasons
First off, ever since this topic seeped into my brain yesterday afternoon, I've had this going through my head:We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.Argh!! Maybe if I pass it on to someone it will leave my head!So as I was driving home yesterday watching the pelican soar above the... Continue Reading →
So far, so good
Guess what?! I did not cry last night! Guess I will be OK. I have spent entirely too much time this morning searching the web for a picture of the fair ride that we love so much with no luck. Therefore, I will have to take my camera with me when I go back there... Continue Reading →
