Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
I woke up feeling every single one of those wheel barrows that Tanja had us do during circuit training. My upper back and shoulders are barking LOUDLY. I thought it would be my legs but no - that will probably be tomorrow. When I will wake up early and run before work. You heard it... Continue Reading →
Last year at this time we had just finished up a wellness campaign at work where we counted our steps on a pedometer. There were conversion rates from other types of exercise into steps. I loved that things like gardening & vacuuming were on there. Because doing an hour of floor cleaning sure as hell... Continue Reading →
After sufficiently lounging while watching Up with Chris Hayes aka #uppers! and part of Melissa Harris Perry aka #nerdland! I ventured out to drop 15 off for a day of paint ball mayhem with some of his football buddies. With him otherwise occupied I was free to work with Eve on our websites. As usual,...

This will have to be quick as I am fading fast. The day started at the vet with Chip the peeing cat. As the vet examined him and started rattling off the list of test she wanted to run (and I saw my savings account draining as she spoke), she had the stethoscope on him... Continue Reading →
After yet another puddle of pee was found when I got downstairs this morning I've made an appointment for Chip to go to the vet tomorrow morning to check for any health issues causing the unapproved peeing. Honestly I hope there is something psychically wrong because while that may cost $$, at leas it would be a... Continue Reading →
If you've lived in San Diego and only marginally paid attention to sports and local celebrities then you know the name Junior Seau. Not only a star football player from high school through an amazing career in the NFL, the man was a local boy who stayed local. Even after hanging up his cleats he... Continue Reading →
Jeebus - on what is essentially day one of my Merry Month of May Journal, I nearly failed. Was about to close this puppy up and head upstairs because - yeah...did you see that title? Around midnight last night I woke up with my heart racing and realized that from the time I fell "asleep"... Continue Reading →
So here's a rarity. I'm going to try to write in here every night this month. Sort of like a (gulp) actual diary. I'm sure it will largely be boring and frequently short, but I know I will need to do some non technical writing to keep my brain clear. Having sold more books we... Continue Reading →
Or, more appropriately for me - old cats? In my ongoing pursuit of supplemental income I've mentioned that I've been doing some content writing for a website that I run with my friend Eve. I know you've all checked it out at least once and clicked on an ad or two for me right? What?... Continue Reading →
So clearly all these years 15 has displayed the motivation described above on the football field, but never in the classroom. And while baby steps in terms of perhaps focusing on a desired area of study have been made, there has still only marginal improvements made on the grade book. He still declares that all he really...
