Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
A quick drop in on an errand filled day to share exactly what hill repeats look like on the Runkeeper Activity page: The hill I ran is exactly 4/10 of a mile long and as you can see, I went down and up 4 times today. I thought that graphic representation of the run... Continue Reading →
Heh - I was reaching for the alliteration to be complete in the title and just couldn't get there. New habit check in to start: $55 in the change kitty as of this weekend. However, work outs? Oh, utter fail. I was thrashed after the 10 mile run and the Wednesday half day run didn't... Continue Reading →
Oh, c'mon now, don't act all shocked that I am stopping EVERYTHING - TV viewing, twitter reading...whatever I might be doing outside of actual lease extraction and tax work...will be spent cuddled up on the sofa with my Kindle and this:
I do not know WHAT I was thinking. The last time I ran for this long was before surgery when I hit the 9 mile mark. I figured I would aim for some 5-8 mile routes before even trying to up the distance to 10 miles. Unfortunately, I have this...thing..in my brain...it wont let... Continue Reading →
This statement may be a wee bit too harsh...but...then again, maybe not. I tend to think of rumor mongers more as simply lazy/chatty folks with way too much time on their hands. They are also more than a little bit gullible. And perhaps lacking a modicum of logic. Having worked at the same place my... Continue Reading →
Catching up from last week, I put $7.25 into the change fund so that is up over $44 as we rolled into Feb. If I can keep up a $40/mo total I will be plenty happy at Christmas! FWIW, what I do is get $20 cash every Sunday just to have something on hand for... Continue Reading →
Photo by @KCAlfredphoto Torrey Pines golf course at sunset. I thought this photo was perfect - I was going to look for something that depicted "swamped" or "rat race" but really, in keeping with my NO Whining & NO Gasbags motto for 2013, I must say that while I will need to maintain a...

What do people get out of rage tweeting/status updates? I’ve recently been somewhat befuddled by folks who watch something on TV (say, a particular channel or program) and then spend time posting anger filled tweets directed at said TV show. Now, I know there are “media” watchers whose job it is to blog or comment... Continue Reading →
The other night while watching The Biggest Loser for inspiration, I launched into my first planned home workout routine. I was doing great - blew past the targeted 15 minutes and was on the back end of a 40 minute routine. Wanting to work on my leg strength, I was doing chair sits against the... Continue Reading →
Motivation and fear are interesting things aren't they? The one pushes hard up against the other - who will win? Well, it seems funny to speak of 'fear' when it came to my rather basic accomplishment I managed to achieve yesterday 🙂 For so many, making a video is easy. Second nature even. Hell, I...
