Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Leaving Aug 1 and returning Aug 6. I will get to immerse myself in lots of things I love: friends, politics, baseball, and art. Here are two items that I am specifically looking forward to seeing again:A Sunday on La Grande Jatte-1884 by Georges SeuratTwo Sisters (On the Terrace) - 1881 by Auguste RenoirI saw...

Oh, my boyfriend was so funny last night! He went to the Padres game with his office team. He works for Petco. The Padres field is called Petco Park. As you can imagine, their corporate box is one of the premier spots at the ballpark. We are trying to figure out a way for me... Continue Reading →
I must explain that title. Back in 1983 the Police had just released what would be their final album together, Syncronicity. The songs all had very dark lyrics. In an interview, Sting was asked about that. His response for whatever reason is one of those crystal clear memories I have - obviously it struck a... Continue Reading →

We started in the regular digital mammogram room with the intention to have me seated while they had me positioned in the... Continue Reading →

Just a 4-5 minute sleepy drug then keep me 'relaxed' but conscious once the localized numbing is complete. He said that means nearly a... Continue Reading →
We celebrated with my parents and both boys yesterday. Today I am in pre-surgery prep mode so I was happy to have the day free to clean the house, do laundry, select recipes for the week and get groceries. One fun item - I am boiling local lobster tails tonight as a treat. They were... Continue Reading →
Thankfully once I reached the surgical nurse she told me she had faxed the lab order already. I asked her to fax me a copy and went in with that today and got the blood draw done in less than an hour. Yay! Something went smoothly. Now, why do I have a pounding headache? Sigh.A... Continue Reading →
I should probably not ask "what more can they screw up?" because they will surely show me!! Yes, I am referring to the *brilliant* and *utterly efficient* staff at the surgeon's office. Nurse calls this AM asking for me email address and to confirm all the previously mentioned arrangements. Surgery is still on for noon.... Continue Reading →
