Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
It's been awhile since I did some classic cat blogging, therefore I shall pander to the feline loving masses with photos from last night's catnip party. After a couple nights in a row of the very loud late night/early morning cat fights and gallops up and down the stairs and hissing and growling at the... Continue Reading →
This? This was not invented by you guys. I know, I know - you don't believe the world EXISTED before you, let alone that anyone living in it (such as your parent's generations) ever did ANYTHING remotely scandalous or fun. Now, the irony of someone like ME telling you this is not lost. I was... Continue Reading →
Or, as close as I can estimate anyway. I do know that I signed up for a Runkeeper account in April and started doing a combination of walking & running. In fact, my original profile from then shows me as a walker with my goal of transitioning from walking to running. So, one year (or... Continue Reading →
You just turned what should have been my fastest 5k race yet into the hardest run I've ever done and I'm counting the 5-8 mile training runs I've completed!! Lord, that was so damn hard. Wind gusts up to 30mph all morning and they ONLY seemed to be coming at our faces or from the... Continue Reading →
Sigh - here we go misinterpreting you again! Yet another public figure says something incredibly stupid, his/her employer punishes him/her and people react by yelling about the First Amendment and the rights to free speech. Uh - WRONG!

I am sorry, but you are going to be sorely tested over the next few months. Be strong! (Actually, he did pretty well and I did too! This was taken as we pulled onto our street on the way home from a workout in the park. He drove there and back and I only had... Continue Reading →
That's pretty much how I feel today. Meh. Eh. Shrug. Whatever. Nothing is wrong. Nothing hurts. I slept fine so I'm not tired. But, I'm also not focused and refreshed and sparkly. I'm just - meh. One of those days for no logical reason at all when you would just sit there and watch tv... Continue Reading →
Just a short note to ask you very very nicely to please, please stop wasting your time cruising the neighborhood knocking on doors. Please save the paper used to print your pamphlets that you drop on our doorsteps. Your visit or your glossy note card are not going to convince anyone who doesn't already attend church to actually start... Continue Reading →
I need some coaching on how to properly take a week off of work. Perhaps I need to define "work"? To be more clear then, I am taking the week off of my day job. I looked at the calendar and realized that thanks to some software upgrades and new purchases, April-June would not be... Continue Reading →
This is a gentle reminder on how to behave with class and kindness and some modicum of respect for others. Sometimes, people don't live their best lives. They display the flaws and issues in their personalities more than their better and loving sides. Sadly, there are some people who when their life is over, have... Continue Reading →
