Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Because I sort of forgot that I am not 17, or even 27......and yesterday AFTER a nice 1+ hour trail run and then some serious latte drinking and burrito gulping....Renee, Eve and I were feeling the need to go for a walk to not feel so stuffed. So we walked to the school and park... Continue Reading →
Well, MY brain anyway .... The ol' barometric pressure took a nose dive last night and right on cue my sinuses filled with pressure. Consequently I've been either excessively foggy headed and tired from the pressure itself or, the Zyrtec I take to relieve it somewhat. Take your pick - either way, I am not at... Continue Reading →
I will be the first person to look back at the last 2.5 months and say, yeah...I've not been as consistent as I would have liked on being at work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. Because I HAD to turn in vacation time so I don't lose it. Because I've had to... Continue Reading →

Demographically, and socially, voters are... Continue Reading →
Yes, the day is finally here! Election day! I am cautiously optimistic that this will happen: And then I see a random facebook comment (in response to the posting of the photo above) like this: WTF? And yeah, even sadder - he looks to be wearing a military uniform. Sigh.......... Ignorance is golden... Continue Reading →
16 plays Fantasy Football so on the weekends that he is here we spend Sunday obsessively tracking his team while watching the NFL game on Red Zone (switches from game to game only when teams are close to scoring - no commercials!) He plays in two leagues and both his games this week are going... Continue Reading →
