Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Where I was yesterday: And now, where I will be tomorrow: We are all hoping for a no-barfing-on-the-stadium-turf race from Alex 🙂 Really don' t need to see that on the jumbotron! Of course, since we start running at the same time, I wont have to worry about seeing that as he will finish close... Continue Reading →
I've written a couple of posts about finding motivation for my teenager. I'll update on that particular task shortly, but in the course of writing most recently about finding my focus again, I mentioned to classic To Do list. The page pictured above is from the notebook that I started using when Eve & I... Continue Reading →
Instead of constantly bitching about the shiny object syndrome that hampers nearly everyone's ability to focus, I decided to actively try and do something about it. I had already stopped obsessively reading my twitter timeline daily (yes, I stupidly used to actually try and do that. And? I sadly DID for a long time). I... Continue Reading →
Yes, I normally avoid politics here, but this isn't necessarily all that inflammatory. Mostly it's just funny as hell (In my humble opinion) and mockery must ensue. Here's an excerpt from the LA times on a big dollar donor fund raising party help for Mitt Romney this weekend. Yes, both candidates will host these events.... Continue Reading →
Yes, I am a runner now - as of just over a year ago - but for my first 46 years...ok...maybe I shouldn't count those first couple eh?...my favorite mode of exercise was walking. I could walk forever. A few times I even walked 60 miles over 3 days 🙂 Mostly though, I walked or... Continue Reading →
Over the San Diego bay last night, there was a bit of a..shall we say...premature ignition....of Every. Single. Firework set to explode for their 4th of July show. Check out this post on the snafu, complete with a couple of utterly hysterical videos on Grist I do believe this is as close you will ever... Continue Reading →
http://youtu.be/Dw1vGLmL7eY I watched this entire concert online Saturday night. What a dream come true for Adam - who sang Bohemian Rhapsody was his audition song for American Idol. Freddie is one of his great inspirations. How amazing is it that a kid from San Diego grew up to step in Freddie's shoes? In so... Continue Reading →
It is exceptionally rare for me to go see a movie in a theater. It is even more rare for both boys to join me. Yesterday though, we had to make it happen. We *had* to see Ted. Why? Well, we knew we would all enjoy the raunchy, Seth MacFarlane film. Yes, the humor is... Continue Reading →
Some time ago as joke I created a Facebook location for our house and called it Casa Crazy. I did it because I'd had dinner with some friends who had all commented on how LAME Facebook check ins are, especially when people are checking in from home and calling their home some cutesy name. So,... Continue Reading →
I know, I've gone from writing every day in the Merry Month of May to maybe thinking about this place once a week 🙂 What can I say? I wrote my fingers off last month. That was a lot of output. June has been about more input. Researching a new business website topic. Going back... Continue Reading →
