Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Drinks in hand, and well bundled, we cruised the streets of Del Mar knocking on doors and singing for unsuspecting residents - thankfully most who were home were happy to see us! Two couples in particular stood in their doorway and sang along with us. One gave out chocolates to the younger singers when we... Continue Reading →
This rant has nothing whatsoever to do with the holidays. Oh, but I am frustrated though! All I want is a vacation with my man. I want him away from all the distractions which he too damn compliant about. People to whom he cannot say "no" and therefore I lose time with him. Do you... Continue Reading →

Oh, it is fun to torture the boyfriend! That's his present up there. He requested it specifically. He knows that I ordered it. He had no idea when it arrived though he was asking almost immediately.

No, those are not actual pictures of him in his shoes, but it's close! I picked him up from Swedish school last night after he'd been with his dad for the week. So, he was in clothes from his dad's house. Oh my! First of all, in the week he was gone his shoes started... Continue Reading →
I have often been teased for being always on top of things. A few people gave me a hard time for already having so much holiday prep done right after Thanksgiving. I realized just now that I should not be giving a false impression of myself. I am by no means on top of life... Continue Reading →
I thought I would show off the lovely angel that Polisigh from Dkos gave me. A New Hampshire handcrafted piece. I was looking for something to put on this wall last year, and she solved the problem for me!This weekend was supposed to be all about baseball. We had a tournament out in Lakeside and...

One year ago I embarked on this adventure that is blogging. I really did not know what to expect. I do know that I have no regrets. This has been a wonderful outlet for me. A place to mark events, feelings, observations and just get shit off my chest! It has certainly made me ever... Continue Reading →
